Wt.etlmr justitia- I bie or not, we eannot pretend to My with the lights before us. The country had high couti- i deuce in Uen. Johnston, and he wan considered | a great strategist, Itc ; but it did appear m if ) this game of strategy was about to end in tbe I loss .ot the bent half of the Stnte of Georgia.? lie took leave of tbe army ou the loth instant c and his successor, Uen. Hood, assumed command on the aame day. The addrees of the ouc ou taking leave, and of the other on aa- . Miuing command of the forces, are published elsewhere in this paper. Th? -- ?- " g ...yr?rl, mi wn (udjivoi, re- i marks that the removal ol Gen.

On the other hand, it was strenuously contended that hie policy was the true one?that bin arnty was uuhterically ntneb inferior to that of Sherman, and therefore that it was iutiuetitly necessary for hnu to cbooae lite ground on which to gire battle. It was furthermore contended that it was Johnston's policy to entica Sherman as far aa possible, and lb us make hitb Icnathen and weaken his line and tender hit sources of sup. J P?? at precarious so possible. Such arc, and I g will bv the different opiuions. As to which is ( the right opinion we are not military critic enough to decide. We en.i only hope the , change of commander* may scire well tlie purpose iu view, and result in the uttor dieoouifiture, if not annihilation of Slieriu&u's ariuy. At Uen Johnstou was removed because he would not figbl, we presume his successor, who it a brafr and skillful General is expected to light, and tlial right soon. So we may look at. nil) moment for tidings of '.ivelv work in North i Georgia. I Gold at the Horth 1 This unlailhig indei of the Yankee warpuUe , coiiliiiucM to go upward, aud as it gets higher the gi ad at ion in the ascending scale necessarily I becomes more rapid. When the premium on gold rose to 100?that is to say when cold sold nt 2'JU?it reduced the value of the greenback dollar to fifty cents. If tho premium were to ( reach another hundred, it would reduce the , paper dollar to thirty-three and a third cents, i and au additional hundred would bring it down < to taenty live cento. It is thus secn that a? ' the premium rises, the same increase per cent . has a less efTect in reduoing the value of the pnper dollar. The first hundred of pretuiuiu , reduces the |x?pcr dollar an average of half a i cent for each otto per cent of premium ; the < second hundred further reduced it one-sixth of a cent for each one per coot., lite third hun- ' died reduces it one-twelfth of a ornl for each oue percent ; the uext hundred would reduce ( it one twentieth of a cent, in the same way ; and so lorfh. It should not be a matter ol < surprise, thurefoie, that when the protniuiu is 1 h'gli, it changes by Urge figures ; fur it requires 1 large figures to- make any appreoiable change in the vulue of the paper dollar.' If gold cou- i tinues to ascend in New York, it will soou be < as easy to increase by fifty or a hundred per I cent as it was a little while ago to add a half per cent.

The aal rioa of the mem bora wore duoblad at a tuna whan the country anticipated a rrduc (ion of thooa itiflaled prices whwli had ao lung prevailed. And whilst they doubled their ow n pay, they did not half double that of the soldier, wbeae wages wna much less in proportion than their own; and whoae claims and importunate attlreatiaa bad been knocking unheeded at the door of (Jong rune fur a long period. And soaie are of the opinion n? ad v a nee wooid iiava bean utade on the soldier's pay, if Uw increaee of iheir own liad not beau in contemplation. They ret seed any advance on the saisnea of the President and Cabinet though Uis PresiJ anl baa loal a tafge amount of Ms-fortune by the tsueuailiee of war : and lbs duties ot the Cabinet officers are mare onerous and eontiuing than their ohn.

But they ?re not in tlio service of uieu, and should uol be worn and exhaust ed by unnecessary !ubor* for the gratification of otticera nnd their families.
