passage: I assure you, my dear Beauregard, that I look upon your quitting our service as the greatest calamity that can befall the army and the country. Let me assure you with sincerity, that I know no officer left behind who can replace you if we get into an important war. Whether it was owing to these remonstrances, or for some other cause, that Major Beauregard altered his determination, we are unable to state; but he did not leave the service; and from 1853 to the latter part of 1861 remained in charge of what was then called the Mississippi and Lake Defences in Louisiana. He was also at that time superintending the building of the United States custom-house at New Orleans. On the 20th of November, 1860, he was appointed to the high position of Superintendent of the Military Academy at West Point, but, owing to complicated events then darkening more and more our political horizon, and of which it is not now our purpose to speak, he only filled the position during a fe

Major Huse asserts that in December, 1861, he was incapable of shipping arms to the Confederacy; whereas the entire country knows that, in 1861, there existed no blockade of our ports, worthy of the name, and that blockade-runners, throughout the years 1862, 1863, and even 1864, entered the ports of Charle we might bring to light the contradiction existing between Major Huse's letter and the assertions of Mr. Davis on the same subject: If, as late as December 30th, 1861, Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, vol. i. p. 483. no arms could be shipped from England, what are we to think of the following passage, to be found o

Cooper. Yours truly, G. T. Beauregard. Genl. J. E. Johnston, Centreville, Va. P. S.—Perhaps the rumor is due to my having sent my ordnance officer to Richmond to hurry up all the artillery and war rocket-batteries he could possibly get. Let us each get all that we can, of both, and then we will see about equalizing them to our forces—the latter can be done so likewise, if you desire it, when reinforcements shall have stopped coming up. G. T. B. Manassas Va., Sept. 4 h, 1861. Dear Colonel,—Your favor of the 2d instant was received last night. I am glad to hear of the probable success of my artillery raid. I hope the rockets (war) will also be forthcoming. I place much reliance upon them, for the purpose of running off the field McClellan's bipeds and quadrupeds. I regret to hear of the failure about the change of flag; but what can now be done is, to authorize commanding generals in the field to furnish their troops with a field, or battle-flag, which sh<
