The DURATION OF THE WAR.-Wimer Il Smith g
European Times, of March lst, a very influential
commercial journal published al Liverpool, con.
cudes an editorial on the American war with the
following significant paragraph:
The struggle is about to begin in earnest, and
must terminate between March and MAY. We en-.
ter this day on the first three months and the next
few weeks will be the most important in the his
.ory OF the United states that have occurred since
the States wrested their independence from the
grasp of George the Third. Washington's great
experiment, which has worked such extraordinary
results during the last quarters of century,
VIII nave to pass, in the next ninety days, through
the severest ordeal to which il has ever been sub.
Jected. If the North cannot subjugate the South
in this brief time, which is very unlikely, it is al
most certain that the European Powers will step
In and propose terms, and in mercy to all parties
to the famishing operatives of England and France
as we'll as to the combatants themselvcs-the act
will be real humanity.

The New York Tribune exulted over the emanci-
patton message of the President as calculated to
win us the unanimous support of European nations.
1t will have the contrary effect, and will be seized
upon as evidence that the President despairs of re-
ducing the cotton States to subjugation. and is
struggling to detach from them the border States
by pecuriary subsidies. The message makes the
contest look, not like restoration of the Union
but war for boundary. Albany IN. W Argus.

GEN. BEAURREGARD.-This General seems to have
occupied more of the attention of the Yankees
than any other in the Confederate SERVICE The
fall of Fort Sumter, the highly lauditory notice
given him in one of Russell's first letters to the
London Times, and the quick response of Major
Anderson to the Philadelphia mob, when asked
his opinion of Gen Beauregard l consider him
man of infinite resources and equal to any
emergency"-and the disastrous defeats at Bull
Ran, Manassas Plains and Shiloh, have all com.
bined to produce in the hearts of the Yankees an
instructive dread of the little General. The com
plimentary ausion of Gen. Prentss, in the conyer.
saton published in yesterdays Express, was a
we were not prepared to hear, but it shows that
the Federas look upon Beauregard as the first man
in the Southern army. ... .g.-
But probably the best evidence after all, of the
great dread with which the Yankees view General
Beauregard, is the repeated attempts that have
been made to eXtinguish him by false and lying
reports. 1t will be recoected, that he was GER
taiuly killed at the bombardment of Fort Sumter
reliable Individual reached Yankeedom, who had
dropped a tear over the deceased Generals bier
He turned up, however, at Manassas, despite the
fatal shell which sent him to his long home in
South Carolina, and contributed towards giving the
grand army the most terrible thrashing that ever
people received. Since that time, various rumors
have found place in the Northern journals, all of
which killed off the hero Of Sumter without pow
der or ball. rr
The last reports we have from Yankee land CON
cernng the object of their great dread are con-
fclng. One account says General Beauregard
lost an arm at Shiloh; another has it that he was
certainly killed, and a third that he was reported

April %. 1867. J
To his Honor the Mayor and the City Council.
of the Cit of New Orleans:
Your communication of the 26th inst has been
received, together with that of the City Council:
deeply regret to see, both by their contents, and
the continued display of the flag of Louisiana on
the Courthouse, determination on the part of the
city authorities not to haul it down. Moreover
when my officers and men were sent on shore to
communicate with the authorities, and to hoist the
United States flag on the Customhouse, with the
strctest order not to their arms unless assail
ed, they were insulted in the grossest manner and
the flag which had been hoisted by my orders on.
the Mint, was pulled down and dragged through
the Streets. -. - 3
All of which go to show that the fire Of this
fleet may be drawn upon the city at any moment,
and in such an event the levee would in all proba
bty be cut by the shells, and an amount Of dis
tress ensue to the innocent population, which
have heretofore endeavored to assure YOU that 1
desired by all means to avoid.
The election is therefore with you. But it be-
comes my duty to notify you to remove the women
and children from the city within forty eight hours
If IhaUe rightly understood your determination.

CAPTAIN FARRAGUr's u rINIATUM.

Elsewhere will be found the answer of Captain
Farragut to the communication addressed him by
the Mayor on Saturday. In this document he dis
tincty states that unless the State flag, which now
flies over the City Hall, is taken down, the aooaen
and children must be rensoued nitlsin forty eight
hours. Such is the alternative given us-
either to humiliate ourselves before an enemy who
has US in his power, suffer the terrible trial of
bombardment. We hardly believe that, in the
history of civilized nations does there exist par
allel case. Our authorities have made no defence,
have repeatedly informed Capt. Farragut that
they were unable to do so, and that all he would
have to do would be to in and take possession.
But this does not satisfy this creature of accidental
success. We must be made to lick the very dust,
before he will be satisfied. Is it not uncalled for
unnecessary-insulting and cruel to expect such a
thing from proud people? And will we submit
to it Can the fear of deaththe terrors of seeing
cur wives and little ones slaughtered before our
eyes, bring Us to such despicable state of abject
ness? No! MOI! A thousand times no. We
may be overpowered by superior strength, but
cannot be disgraced by all the powers of the
world We can make up our minds to see our
children and the mothers of our children torn
assunder by exploding shells, we can die our
selves, but never play the cringing slave to a
cOnqueror. szssss5;3E
Capt, Farragut should remember that his own
position is not 30 secure it might be, and that it
is within the bounds of possibility for him to be
stript Of all that power which he now abuses. A
defeuceless city may now be at the mercy of his
guns and mortars. But how fares it with him :?
Is he not himself prisoner held by the iron walls
of our forts and shut off from help from abroad? !?
May not the tickle goddess Fortune desert him, and
may he not himself fall at moment, when he is
plotting the overthrow and disgrace Of a gallant
and defenceless people? We say again it is possi-
BILE. The waters of Hampton Roads foated as gay
and as powerful fleet as his, and its commander
was as proud and defiant as he. Yet where are
they now? Let our people believe that just Al.
mighty watches over US and may turn seeming
yilinto guoa-
