YANKEE ESTIMATE OF GEN BEAuREGARp.
The New York Worla, in speaking of the
hight at Charleston, makes the following aIlu-
sion to General Beaurcgard:
One result of this Charleston fioht will be 20
restore Beaurgard to the favor of the southern
people. True, he is boastfu, cgotistical, untruth
ful and wanting III tact, but he is certainly the
most marvellous engineer of modern times. Bv>
his genius and professional skill he has erected
batteries in Charleston harbor that would sinl,
all wooden fleets Of the world, did they come
under fire, and he succeeded, moreover in dri.
wing back in disgrace the most impcnctrablc
iron clad fleet afoat. There is no denyino
what this man has done, unpalataJlc though it
may be to the Northern people
The New Herald, speaking of the small
losses on both sides at Charleston, saws: "The
results were as decisive for this fight as thoucb
there had been thousands san-as decisive as
were the battles of Murfreesboro' and Fred
ercksburg.''
