"Lieut. Maury's Treachery.--A Washington letter says evidences of Lieut. Maury's treachery are daily apparent.
The meanest of them yet discovered is, that he removed buoys from Kettle Bottom Shoals, leaving the Administration to find it out as best they could.
The same writer says Maury will not be allowed to resign but that his leaving as he did will be considered an actual desertion of a post of duty.
On the day of his desertion he was with the Secretary of the Navy up to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and said nothing of his intentions.
He went home, packed up his furniture, and vamoosed.

Important from Boston.
--A telegraphic dispatch from Boston brings the following astounding intelligence:
A letter from a lady in Charleston received here, says that Gen Beauregard is dead, from wounds he received in the attack on Fort Sumter.
"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.

This is exactly the course that ought to have been pursued.
It is the policy observed by Washington when, under somewhat similar circumstances, Sir Henry Clinton wished to treat with him as Mr. Washington.
The noble old Virginian would respond to no message that did not recognize the validity of the official title he held by authority of Congress.
And Mr Cameron will be brought to this acknowledgment ere long.
There is an intimation in the note of Gen Beauregard that " humanity should teach an enemy to care for its wounded, and Christianity to bury its dead"--two things that the Hessians have not done.
