Gen. Beauregaid came from a dis tinguished French family On his mother's side he was descended from the dukes of Modena and Pegg'o, and on his father's side from a Welsh lord turnons m the thirteenth century. Jacques Tomant de Beauregard was the first of this family to settle in Louisiana. He wasacomodore in the royal navy, so that the famous gener al may he said to have, in a measure, inherited liis military genius. Gen. Beauregard was horn in St. Bernard parish. May IS, 1818. The basis nt his education lie secured in New York City and in 1834 he receiv ed his appointment to the West Point Military Academy, graduating second in a class of forty five t luit ineltided many young men who afterwards be came mi.....is in military and civil ranks. lie entered the engineers' corps after leaving the great college. \\ hen the war with Mexico broke out he went with the army of conquest, engaging himself m ihe construction j»f defenses at Tampico, and in the siege operations at Vera Cruz, and ac companying the army in its battles at C'eno Goido, t Contieras, Chepultepcc and the City of Mexico, being twice wounded, emeigmg from the war a hr vetted major, and attaining the full rank of captain of engineers in 1853, after years ot continuous ser vice. Returning to New Orleans he was assigned to engineering work in this vicinity and the vicinity of Mobile and in 1861 was made superintendent of file Military Academy at West Point. Before the ti uni clash of the war then impending In* resigned from the Fed eral Army and offered his services to the Confedeiacy. He was immediate ly made a Brigadier General and as signed to THE defense of charleston, firing the first gun of the great war between the States and rapidly redu cing Fort Sumter, then in command of Major Anderson. From Charleston he was ordered to Virginia and was in command of the Confederate forces practically winning the great victory of Bull Kun winch sent a thrill through out the country, raising the hopes of the South to thejliighest pitch. From Virginia he was ordered to 'Tennessee and was second in command on the bloody field of Shiloh, until the death of the lamented Albert Sidney John ston, when he took full charge of the Confederate forces, almost completely routing the enemy and only calling a halt at night when his men were en tirely worn out with the terrible en gagement they had fought. Buell's ieinforccments on the following day turned the tide at Shiloli, and Beau regaid beat an oiderly retreat, falling back to Corinth, whence lie letreated southward. General Beauregard, with the full rank of general, was subsequently or dered to Charleston, and his defenses of the Atlantic seaboard against the opeiations of the flower of the Federal navm and laud forces and the unlimi ted resources of the Federal govern ment attracted world-wide attention and established General Beauregard's reputation as a military genius. In 18(54 Beauregard reinforced Lee in Virginia, defeating Butler at Drury's BlulT and withstanding the Federal advance at Petersburg Thence lie went West and subsequently t.v Geor gia to intercept Sherman's march to the sea. Retiring from Georgia he joined Johnston in North Carolina and surrendered in 1865. Aftei the war Gen. Beauregard re turned to New Orleans, and up to the time of his death always evinced a deep interest in public affairs. He was Adjutant General itndei both Govs. Wiltz and McEnery, and in 1888 his name added strength to the movement for the overthrow of the ring government then in power. He was elected Commissioner of Public Works, resigned after a short occu pancy of the office. Gen. Beauregaid assisted the bite Judge Roman in his work on "The Military Operations of General Beauregaid in the War be tween the States," and was the author of "Principles and Maxims ot the War anti Report of the Defense of Charles ton." After the war Gen. Beauregard was offered the command of the Ron maiiian Army and of the Egyptian Ar my, and ttlso offered positions of pro minence in the armies of France and Turkey, but till of these lit declined from a high sense of patriotism. Gen. Beauregaid was mat tied in ls41 to Miss Lame Villere, it grand daughter of the second govcrnoi of Louisiana, the issue oftlie union being three children, Rem* T. Beauregard, it piomineut. attorney and judge of the Circuit Com r of Appeals; Henry 'f. Beauregard, formerly a sugar planter iu this State but now a resident of St. Louis, and Miss Lame Beauregaid, who became tin* wife of Mr. Charles Luicndoii and who died some years ago. In 18(1(1 Gen. Beauregard mar ried a steoiul time, Ids bride being Miss Caroline Deslonde, daughter of a prominent sugar planter of St. James ami :t sister of the wife of Senator Sli dell* She tped in 1864 while the gen eral was iit the trout.—Daily States. ORIXIOXS OF THE i.:>u I SI AX A PRESS. MAKES THE FARMERS SCRATCH THEIR HEADS. Farmerville Gazette: Bacon at 15 cents per pound while cotton is at 7 and 8 cents per point 1 should make out people turn the thought over in their heads "fit is not the part of good judgment to raise mine meat at Home anil cultivate less cotton." 'The indications me that meat will contin ue to rise in price to 20cents per pound before next summer closes. INTELLIGENCE AND SUFFRAGE. Carroll Banner Democrat : Educa tion -and intelligence are essential to good government, and should be rig idly required as a condition precedent to the exercise of the right of suffrage. 8ueli tin amendment to our state con stitution would be strictly legitimate and advisable as speedily as possible. W hen done, ignorance, the demago gue's stock in trade during elections, would be no longer available as a nurse and fraud-producing factor. A lice ballot and fair count would then meau exactly what it says. THE STATE CIRCUIT COURT. Baton Rouge Advocate: The press ot the state seems to he almost a unit on the necessity for the abolition of the Circuit Court ot Appeals. An ex penditure of 848,000 a year is necessa ry for the maintaimmce of these courts, and that amount of money expended ic that manner is just about as wisely spent as it would be if cast into the sett. The opinion of the best lawyers in the state is to the effect that the Circuit Court is an unnecessary encum brance upon the judicial system of the state, aud is altogether an expensive luxury. CYPRESS TIMIIEU OK THE ATCHA FALAY.V. Morgan City Advocate: This imme diate section of the stite is directly interested in the development of the cypress industry, for three-fourths of the timber lands lie in the great basin ot the Atcliafclnyu, the waters ot which How past our doors. No belter loca tion tor a huge null could he found than that of Morgan City, from which point there is easy communication by water or rail to all p irts of the world. There are several magnificent mill sites in this neighborhood widen can he easily secured, and only await cap ital. MORE CORN, LESS COTTON, Tensas Gazette : Land and laborers alone cannot grow a cotton crop. Mo ney and supplies are essential to its production. It is plain then that the men who furnish the "sinews of wai" can absolutely regulate the produc tion of a large portion oftlie crop, by insisting that their customers plant less cotton and devote more acreage to corn and other crops Let the mer chants again exert their powerful in fluence and insist that their customers plant more corn and food crops; let them insert clauses to this effect in their contracts, aud enforce them by bidding on to their money unless com plied with, and the great purpose in view will he more surely accomplish* ed than if meetings for the same pur pose be held in every county in every cotton growing state. To Keep Potatoes. Faun Journal. It is excessive warmth which causes potatoes to rot in pits, and the warmth is induced l»y the fermentation in the potato, induced by the moisture. For Hi is lease n potatoes should be well dried when pitted and kept dry until they have passed through this fermen tation or sweating. Any fresh fruit or vegetable needs the best of ventila tion, that the moisture and heat nmy , pass off, otherwise they will decay. ! It is well, too, to keep them near the i freezing poir t. There is no danger of freezing nt a temperature which ex ceeds two or three degrees below the ! freezing point of water. Wheat bran is an indispensable feed for butter cows. Even on the best j pasture a daily feed cf bran will pay] well. It has recently been ascertain- I ed that llit* heaviest bran is not better : butter producing food than that which is light. It should not weigh more than eighteen to twenty pounds per bushel. ■ --- ---- 1 Cora 111 should marry you, Jake, : you must give up the practic of law. j ■hike —That would be impossible. !
