From the Memphis Appeal, 19th.
The fall of Fort Donelson On Saturday, last, the evacuation of Bowling Green and the unexplained agreement to surrender Nashville on yesterday, have forcibly engendered the question in the public mind that Gen. Sydney Johnston has been out generaled by Buell in the progress of army operations in Kentucky. We have not the disposition to harshly judge him in this matter, but the fact is too palpable for denial that some of his blunders have at least temporarily transferred the war from Kentucky to Tennessee soil
