News from the south.
Intelligence from the South, by mail, reaches us
IN roundabout way, but is none the less interest
ing on that account, at the present moment. We
subjoin several extracts from latest exchanges:
LETTER FROM GEN. BEAUREGARD-HE BIDS FAREWELL
TO CHARLESTON.
The Charleston Courier published the following
etter from Gen. Beauregard to Gen. Martin, of
that city:
CHARLESTON, May 27
Ng Dear General: i sincerely regret leaving
Charleston, where the inhabitants have given me
Such welcome that now consider it as my second
home
had hoped that when relieved from here it
would have been to go to Virginia, in command Of
the gallant Carolinians, whose courage, patience
ahd Zeal had learned to appreciate and admire
Dut IL seems my services are required elsewhere
ana thither shall 60, not with Joy, but with the
hrm determination to do more than my duty, if |
can, and to leave as strong mark possible on
the enemies Of our beloved country, should they
poilute its soil with their dastardy feet.
But rest assured, nv dear sir, that whatever nap
pens AZ hrst, we are certain to triumph at last,
even II we had for arms only pitchfOrks and flint
lock muskes, for every bush and ay-stack will be-
come an ambush and every barn a fortr'ss. The
history OF nations proves that gallant and free
people, lighting for their Independence and fire,
siues, are lnvincible against disciplined mer-
cenarl"s, at few dollars per month. What, then
must be the result when its enemies are little more
than an armed rabbe, gathered together hastily on
a false pretense, and Tor an unhnly purpose, with
an Oct"genarian at its head? None but tn de-
mented can doubt the issue
remain, dear General yours sincerely
p. g. I. BEAUREGARD.
Provisions for the South.
The Louisville journal Of the Sd inst saws:
"S0me of the provision dealers have been pre-
pairing for the anticipated stoppage Of the trans
portation of the provisions from Louisville over
the Nashville railroad. Fer three or four davs
past drays have been lining the roads from the CITY
taking provisions to Shepherdsville and Raudolph's
Station, where bacon, hams, &c, are piled up in
pyramids, ready for shipment South from those
points"
