destruction of property in the navy yard could not have
been much short Of eight millions The cost OF the

Prince Napoleon, in recent letter from
New York. published in Paris, presents the
following picture of his personnel:
"He is small, brown, thin, extremely vi
gorous, although his features wear dried
expression, and his hair has whitenad prema-
turely. Face, physiognomy, tongue, accent
Everything about him--is French. His
bravery is great and undeniable, and every
thing denotes IN him, if not superior gen
eral intelligence, at least a remarkable mii-
tary aptitude. He is quick, little abrupt.
and although well-educated and distinguish
ed in his manners, he must sometimes offend,
less by what he says, than his manner Of say
ing il. Perhaps lie does not express with
sufficient care to. manifestations Of an ar
dent personalit@HAlch knows Its worth,
and to which Ill i-ys 4Dse military success
may have given iegsssate seli.coulidance.
He is extremely impassi ined in the defense
Of the cause which hs-IEes; at least he
takes less care to cpnce..Tstts passion, under
a calm and eel exterior, than do most of bis
compeers Of ei.aer army. To sum up alb
the South has foussI in him man Of uncom-
mon aFdor, ceaseess activity, and indoml-
table power Of wll--e.araeteristcs by which
we recognize the mar destined to win bat
ties and TO lead parties"
La 1860, Beauregard contracted second
marriage, leading to the altar Mrs Caroline
Deslhories, of an honorable family Of Louis
lana. BY this marriage he became the broth
er.in-law OF ex-senator John Sldeii. Onc
who lived under the same ROOF With him for
twenty years, and TO whom we are indebted
for these particulars of his life, pays tie fol
lowing noble tribute to his general characters
"Tbe disinteresledness, the patriotism ol
Gen. Beauregard is equal to the best exam
