"the Lie with circumstance."

--We have had a laugh or two (says the Picayune) over the canard of the Northern papers, about Gen Beauregard's having been killed at the bombardment of Fort Sumter. But we have never seen it so circumstantially stated as now, in the columns of the Philadelphia North American, whose editors say:

‘ We saw last evening, at a public house in Walnut street a seaman lately from Charleston, who declares that, to his personal knowledge, General Beauregard was killed in the bombardment of Sumter. The statement made by our informant is that Beauregard was killed by a spent ball, inflicting a cranial contusion, from the effects of which he subsequently died. His remains were sealed in a metallic coffin and conveyed to France.
