ties. Beauregard.
Gen. Paler D. Beauregard, of Louisiana, who
has been appointed the command'r of the
troops in aud near Chariest on harbor, te tbs
man who will have the duty of capturing Ma
jor Anderson and hie command. General
lieaurrgard won his military reputation io
Mexioo, where he was a captain. He waa al
so at West Point, and is considered a good
engineer. The Charleston Mercury, in a
•ketch of his career, says :
The histories of tbs Mexican War. favora
bly as they have mentioned him, have failed
to notice two of the most conspicuous incidents
of bis life, and which have g me far to estab
liab his fsr.e. We will relate them, premising
that re were not in the war, and that we re
peat them from memory on ambentio informa
tion. The principal laoto will stated accu
rately, though there may be errors in uuiiupor.
tant details.
The first occurred before VeraCruz. Gen.
B., then a Lieutenant of Eugineerr, wa* sent
out by his Colonel (Totten, if we remember
■right) with a party of sappers to dig and pre-
pur# a trench, according to a pnfLe and Inn
prepared by the Colonel. No sooner bad
Beauregard examined the ground than be dis
covered great objections to the plan. To as-
rure himself, he climbed iuto a tree, and with
the aid of the marine glaen, the engineer's
rode meeum, he made a reconnoia noe, aud raw
plainly that die trench as planued, would be
enfiladed by the enemy’s cannon. II* re was a
difficult position for a rumdiern ministerial
iffict-r. lie decided promptly, and returned
to headquarters without slicking a spade —
The Colonel met him and expres^d surprise
that he had so soon performed his task.—
Beauregard replied that he had not touched
it. The Colonel, with the astonishment mili
tary men feel in hearing their orders have not
been obeyed, inquired the reason. He was
soon informed of it. He was incredulous—
“the ground had been eznmined*’- “the re- ^
connotsance wits peifcct.” Ac. The young ’
Lieutenant was satisfied, however that the re-
ccnuoLaore of his old chief Lad not been made
like bis, “from up in a trie.” The Colonel,
like a sensible man, concluded to make anoth
er examination—the plitn was changed in eo-
cordance with the young Lieutenant’s views.
The work done from these trenches is mailer
of history—but its pages nowhere inform us
to whom the credit is due.
Our second incident occurred before the city
of Mexico.
A night or two before the attack a Council
of War was held. There were afsemh'ed all
the big folks, from the [now] Lieuieuaut Gen
eral (who practices Mexican tactics from the
house-tops in Washington,) including Worth,
Twiggs, &o., down lo our friend Beauregatd,
the youngest officer in the room. The drbate
went oq for hours. Scott was solitory in his
opinion. Every other officer present, except
one, had spoken, and all concurred in their
views. The silent one was Beauregard. At
last Gen. Pierce crossed over snd said, “You
have not expreceed an opinion.’* “1 have not
been called on,” said Beauregard. "You
bhiill be, however,” said Pierce ; and soon rc«
fuming his rest, announced that Lieutenant
Beauregard had not given his opinion. Being
then oalled out, be remarked that if the plau
which had received the assent of all but the
commanding General was carried into effect,
it would prove disastrous. It would be anoth
er Churubusco affair. He then detailed the
objections lo it at length—and taking up the
other, urged the reasons in its favor with
equal earnestness. The Council reversed their
decision. Tht City of Mexioo was entered
according to the plan urged by the young
Lieutenant, and it would seetn that his reasons
