A few weeks since, in nn article
entitled "'Hood at Atlanta" we took
occasion to difpute a statement made
by Mnj. Austin of New Oilcans',
who snid in relation to Johnston's
retreat from Pulton to Atlanta :
"Gen. Hood had just- Leen placed
in command of the Western nrrhyi
"worn down fiit was at the lime by
an unrenii'tiii"; policy of retreat, in
augurated by his predecessor, to two-
J thirds of it3 original Ftmigth."
When wo replied :
Wo do not tliink the fact." will bear
him out iu this statement. We Irok
forward with much inferest to Gen.
J E. Johnston's forthcoming work,
and are confident that it will nhow
that the policy he adopted in the eel
cbrakd retreat from Dalton to At
lanta, a policy which, had Gen.
Johnston been left in command,
would bare proved as fully effeclive
as that purSued by his great exem
plar, Fabiu!, in his campaign against
Hannibal, was "..caring; dowu'C
Sherman's army, instead of his own,
and that his a-rtny, as his lines of com
luunication because shortened, was
continually bein' recruited from the
rear and .increasing, gnd its morale
was splendid ; while that of Slier
ma.1 was continually being wcnkencd
by his fecessivo attacks on our lines
while it becamo more and more diffi
ciik to keep open hi3 lines ol corn
municntion.
And we now publish the following
letter from Gen. Joe Hooker to
Gen. Mansfield Lovcll which strong'
ly cuuor30tl tins campaign as "the
most prominent feature of the war."
New York -City, October 21st,
IS73. General AT. Lovell My
Pear General : Your letter of the
15th iust., requesting my professional
opiuiou concerting the conduct of
the retreat tho of confederate army
iu 1864, while, commanded by Gen.
Joseph ll. Johnston, and al o of the
impression produced 'in the Uuion
army on being informed of the ret
moral of that officer from bis posi
tion was received. I have no possi
ble obojetioa to communicating to
to ycu my riews on this subject,
briefly, ot coarse (as I hafo not my,
notes and maps of tho campa'gn near
me to refer to), and, besides, I wish
to be understood, in advance, that
my opinions on this subject arc ex
pressed in no ostentatious manner,
but merely to comply with your re
quest, and to do justice, as far as
lies in my powor,eo a brother of
ficer toward whom I bave always
felt the highest admiration for his su
perior military accomplishments.
"I was fumiliar with his services
in the Seminole war, and also our
war with" Mexico.
"During tho campaign to which
you refer I served in the- army op
posed to 'inn, u command of a corj a,
on which, as yoo intimatf, much of

Indeed, this retreat was so masterly
that I regard it as a useful lesson for
all persons who may hereafter elect
for their calling tho profession of
arms. After having given the sub
ject' a jjood deal of reflection, I un-
ihesiiatingly etata a3 my conviction
that this was the most prominent
feature of the war, and, in my judg
ment, reflects the highest credit upon
its author. Tho news that Gen.
Johnston had b en replaced in com
mand of tho army opposed to us by
one whom We considered much his
infetior iu military c;ipac;tv, was re
ceived by our officers with universal
rrjoieiDg. That wa were not wrong
in our estimate of his successor was
fully pioved by subsequent events
"Gen. Hood's careor while in com
mand tells its own story. Oire of
the prominent historians of the Con
fedt racy ascribes tho misfortunes ol
the 'Lost Cause' to the relief of Gen.
Johnston; I do not think this, but
it certainly contributed materially to
hasten its collapse. , Very respect
fully, your obedient servant.

THE DECISION IN THE YIE
GINIUS CASE.
m
Advices from Washington indicate
that the Eish-Polo protocol is bearing
awkward fruit, but fiuit which might
bave been anticipated from the. na
tuio of the blundering document, and
which was very plainly predicted in
these columns. It is said that Attor
ney General Williams, after a carelul
examination of tho proofs (ubmitted
to him by tho Spanish Miuister, has
decided that the Vilnius, at the time
of her capture by tho Tornado, was
not an Aaierican vessel, consequently
was not entitled, to American protec
tion, and. consequently, belongs, of
right, to her captors, and not to us.
If this decision is sustaiued, the Uui-
:ed States must not only dispema
with the salute to the flag, which was
to hare been given ou Christmas day,
but, if Spain should iusist on it, the
vessel must bo returned to the Spanish
authorities, together with tbo surviv
ors of the passengers and crew now
on their way to our shores. For if
the Yirginius was, to all intents and
purposes, a pirate according to tbe
letter of international law, then those
on board of her cannot shelter them
selves from trial atid punishment by
appealing to tlft United States, Spain
ia entitled to these prisoners, and to
Spain they must go unless she
chooses to wave Ler rights in the
premises, in order to spare a further
humiliation of onr national pride.
. '-Ktions 10 this dc-
Attorney General Williams is reported
to have sanctioned. ,
The testimony of a dyingman
when realizing his situation and in
full possession of his mental faculties,
is entitled to some weight. Capt
Fry in his published letter to Presi'
dent Grant, written a few hours
before ho was led to exotution, ex
pressly declares that the Virginiu
sailing under regular United
States clcaranco papers, and was,
therefore, authorized to fly the Ame
rican flag, and enjjy American pro
tection. In tho official ro'rort
transniitlcd to the Secretary
of tho Navy by Rear Admiral
Scott.commnnding the North Atlantic
squadron, it is stated that Capt. Fry,
on his" trial, "declined to answer all
questions put to him, protesting lhat,
by tho laws of nations, ho and his
crew had comrnitUd no offence that
justified their impiisonment or trial
as pirates claiming to .be in com
mand of an American merchant ves
sel, furnished with all properly cer-
tifud papers which he had delivered
to the boarding , officer of the cap
turing vessel. ' Are the declarations
of a brave and honest mau at such
a time to be set down as deliberate
falsehood unworthy of the slightest
credit? If. so what is to prevent,
Sriain, or any other nation, seizing
American ships on the high seas
shooting all the officer?,, and ; then
proving them pirates? It is assorted
that the papers carried by the Vir
ginias and delivered by Capt. Fry
to tho boarding officer of the Tor
nado wero forged." How do v
know that tho papers presented by
tho Spanish Jlinistor ore tho same
paperj that Captaiu Fry surrendered?
Burriel and and his associates had a
direet and personal iutcrest in mak
ing out tho Virginius a pirate ; they
had ample time to manipulate these
papers to suit their purpose ; they
bave shown thetnselve capable of do
ing the most desperato and unlaw
ful deeds, what is to prevent them
from being forger, and destroying
the genuine papers in order to use
fraudulent eosd? Shall wee -ondemn
dead men on the testimony it those
who' butchered ' tin in ? Must we
believe that Fry went int the pres
ence of his Old with a iie in his
mouth, becaufe Burriel ray s he did ?
The Government of the Uunited
States may accept tl is view of the
matter, but wo do not think the j
American peopla' will. St, Lould

sidorable of a fight, one of ,he posse
a colored boy, and one of the robbers
being badly wounded. The injured
robber was carried off by his com
rades andwc hear that when he cross
ed tho Tensas river he wag bleeding
so profusely that he was not expected
to live very long.
It is believed that tho party whp
pascd'throogh here bad, the money.
Tho robber's horses were all wounded,
and they press2J oihers when they got
out of sight of a small party who
pursued. A party of nine men from
Mississippi are now in pursuit, but wo
doubt very much that they will catch
the rascals.
An inquest was held upon the body
of tho dead robber, but as there
were fourteen guns fired a him simul-
taueously, a verdict was rendered
in accordance with that fact. Noth
ing could be found to identify the
man. it is supposed tho party came
from Texas. How they learned so
well the the doctor's financial condi
tion is a mystery, a they were but a
few days in in tho country. Mr.
John Harper, of this parish, remem
bers to have seen them pafs his bouse,
going eastward, but a few days be
fore he heard of this robbery. His
attention was particularly drawn to
them because all feven of them wore
blue "military overcoats, and rode
Texas horses
Since putting the above in type we
have learned that the wounded rob
ber spoken of above was abandoned
in Franklin parish, where he died in
a short time after those ia pursuit
found him. Ho lived long enough
to make a confession, and, if he told
tho truth, it stands our people in
hand everywhere to be on the qui
vive. He said there was an organ
ized band of robbers, with their
headquarters in Texas, who bad
emissaries scattered throughout that
State. Louisiana and Mississippi,
and even in portions of Alabama,
who are constantly on the lookout
for just such opportunities for plun
der a? was presented in the case of
Dr: Johnson. If the party out
awuiting orders is sufficient, as was
the case n this instance, they Bend
back for reinforcements, who are
kept conveniently at hand. It - is
known that a party of seven others
of the gang met the fleeing men in
Franklin parish.

In tho November cumbers of "The
New Eclectic, ' end "Tho Laud W
Love," 18G9, nn interesting' a;;d im
portant correspondence woj publish
ed between Dr. Joseph Jones, Secre-. '
tary of thd Historical Society, and
General S. Cooper, ex Adjutant Gen
eral of tho Confederate States. From
that source we glean tho following
facts for the benefit of thofc who are
not so fortunato as to have preserved
a file of those valuable magazines.
Such lacts are startling even to
thoso who participated iu the Southv
ern struggle: ;
1. The available force of the Con-,
federate arrav did not, during the war,'
exceed 000,000 men! , :
2. Tho Confederate States never
had iu their defence more than 200..-
00 men in the field at one time ,'
I ;3. From 1SGL to 1855 the Confed
c ratts forces actively cngajretl-rJ-' ,
only OlriJ.OOtV-" . w" c
4. The total number of de'Uhs djr- ;
iug that time wore 200,000 1 . .?
5. Losses of prisoners counted as j
total losses on account of United '
States policy of exchange, 200,000!
6. Tho loss of Confederate States
army by discharge, disability, and de
sertion amounted to 100,000!
7. At the close of the war, tha.
fores of the Confederate army was
less than 100,000 men! ; .
8. Out of 000,000 men, 500,000
wero lost to the service I
Those facts are taken from calcula
tions made with great care by Dr.
Joseph Jones, submitted to end ap
proved by Gen. S. Cooper, Adjutant
General of the Confederate Army.
From them we deduce these two facts:
At the closo of the war the Federal
forces cumbered one million ; tha
Confederate forces numbered ona -hundred
thousand! How sad and elo
quent a diCf rence! Eloquent of dis
advantage,- determination, devotion
and death! '
The files of the office held by Gen,
Cooper were carefully preserved, and
this tragic secret was carefully pre '
served and known only to its heroes
