The loss yesterday comparatively small, General Johnston had
managed his command with great success and ability until he received his wound.
What a pity that he should have exposed himself! but we are a blessed people to
have such a man as General Lee to take his place. He (Gen. J.) is at the house
of a gentleman on Church Hill, where he will have the kindest attention, and is
free from the heat and dust of the city.
