WASHINGTON, Novemb 22.-It is now
definitely ascertained in military circles at
Washington that Beauregard recently ten
dered his resignation as a General of the
Rebel Army, in consequence of his difference
with jeff Davis as to the conduct of the war.
Violent parties have sprung up among the
Confederates on this question, Beauregard
representing the offensive war party, who
believe in invading the North and winter
ing in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York; and JEFF. Davis representing the de.
fensive war party, who trust to time and the
patient defense of their own soil to give
them independence.
The Beauregard party complain that the
! policy of Davis has led to the invasion o.
! South Carolina, and will fill the Cotton States
with the horrors of war, and end in their de
struction, and it is believed that Davis ha
succumbed to the war policy, to preven
South Carolina and Georgia from seeding
from the rebel States. General Beaureg arC
was induced to withdraw his resignation.

eminent ber full quota of the half million o
zen called for the national defense, and pro
poses to raise as many more for Stat
