BEAUBEGARD This renowned chieftain appears to be the very impersonation of rebel genius and desperation. Entirely absorbed in contem plating the success of his infamy, he seems ready for any exploit, no matter how des perate, if it only promises success to his undertaking. He has surpassed all his associates by the boldness and magnitude and guilt of his conceptions; if he still lives, he is the most daring conspirator of them all; He has evidently set his life upon a cast, and is willing to stand the hazard of the die. Like all intellectual conspirators , or pirates, he prefers death in the pursuit of his enterprise to uncertain clemency of the government, should his undertaking fail. No matter how the present rebellion • terminates, Beauregard will be the rebel that will live in history, presenting poster. ity with a character as intellectual, as fas cinating and desperate as Schiller's Charles De Moor. The burning of the town of Leipsic by the order of that captain of incendiaries; the plot for the destruction of the entire Vene tian Senate by Peirre, a disappointed ad venturer; the conspiracy of Guy Fawkes, for blowing up of the English House of Parliament,were not more desperate enter prises than Beauregard is capable of un dertaking. We base these observations on the strength of two statements, which are attributed to this rebel commander. The New York Everting Post states up on the authority of one who professes to know, that last summer, some time, Bean regard sent the following dispatch, in pher, to a rebel in Washington, and that it has been found and is now in the possession of the person who gives it for publicity.— The message deciphered reads thus: "I -shall cross the river above Little Falls on Sunday at two a. m. Signal red and white rockets from Turners Hill. For God's sake don't fail us. Fire the city at all points agreed on at once. Dispatch Lincoln and Scott as you suggest, and let the execution of our plot be perfect. "BEAIIREGARD, It is difficult to conceive the weight and desperation of the guilt of him who could issue such bloody and incendiary instruc tions. "Fire the city and murder the President and Gen. Scott," for God's sake! is a most extraordinary order, and we are, consequently, forced to doubt its authen ticity. Some ingenious sensationist has started this story, or has at least highly embellished it. At all events it seems in credible, because. it is well known that however much the rebels desired the re moval 'f the two important personages al laded to they had no fears of the residents of Washington, who, at the time referred to, were nearly all secessionists. But if Beauregard did write such a com munication, it may account for his present desperation. Immediately before the late terrible battle at Pittsburg, he is reported to have said, upon entering the fight, that "he would at its conclusion water his horse in the Tennessee river or in hell; that the fight before them was hell unless success ful." He did not water his st e ed in the Tennessee stream, and the reader is left to imagine the sort of entertainment they have for man and beast in the other locality re ferred to. WHAT JOHN BELL THINKS. The New Orleans Bulletin of the 17th of last month says: "We have seen a private letter from this distinguished gentleman, dated at Huntsville, Alabama, in which be express es the strongest confidence in the ability of our generals in Tennesseeto best back the advancing hordes of Hessians,- and in 'the Ultimate triumph of the Confederate cause.: Mr. Dell says that our defeat at Donelion has thoroughly aroused our peo ple, and that reinforcements are pouring into the Confederate camps in large numbers." Notwithstanding all this, the prudent gentleman keeps himself at a safe distance from the scenes of conflict. If the defeat at Donelson "thoroughly aroused" the rebels, in what condition of agitation are they now, since the late arousing they got at Pittsburg? By the time McClellan gets through at Yorktown, we suspect that Bell will begin to doubt the "ultimate triumph of his Confederate cause." By the way, John Bell, who was the 17nion candidate for the Presidency, is not meeting the expectation of his Southern friends ; Breckinridge, the other Southern aspirant, commands small squad of raga muffins, who. it is said are the terror of all theold Union ladies in Southern Kentucky. The imperious commander, they say, is re ported as being ashamed of them, and when they'arrive at a town or village, he, liklaerdsta, at Coventry, =fume to march threagisr_but entrusts them to the com mjid of some modern Bardolf. On these occasions, clothes lines and their burthens, loam linen bleaching on hedges, and all articles of waning apparel or of home con somption, disappear as soddenly and mys teriously as slight of hand can do Breckinridge regrets this phase of chivalry, and frequently reprimands his scavengers for their depredations, but they persist that it is "their vocation" and therefore, no sin to labor iii it--"young men =nit live." /44 poor Bell is not even renderingthis much service to the Confederacy. Having ran away from his home in Nashville, he turns up in Alabama; and, instead of risking his I' defence of "the cause" he ccw• f with the idea of the, ghly aroused." Well, Ted up, they must be . Still, Bell ought 'g them aroused; 'e frequent • imbi decoctions, he constantly in U' 'nun ' Bishop Tinton, of the Catholic diocese of Buffalo, launches the terrors of hereafter against those mean enough to cheat a printer. For the generality of transgres sors there is some hope of salvation ;" true repentance and reformation will cancel sin as red as scarlet ; but he who would oppress the fatherless and remain impeni tent, or the wretch who world remorseless ly chisel an editor can never hope to en ter the Kingdom of Heaven. Bishop Tinton concludes: "I cannot for a moment think that the Catholic who hopes for eternal life would take a paper without intending to pay for it." We publish this for the benefit of others, as well as those belonging to the "Church militant," and affectionately extend an in vitation to all good Christians in arrears to us to call and settle at their earliest con venience. Small bills may be transmitted through the mails at our risk. HARRISBURG OORRESPONDENOE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Thursday, April 10. Speaker Rowe in the chair; members all in their seats. Rushing business this mo ment—Joint Committee reports the appro priation bill, which was agreed to.

Hunter in assuming his command at Port Royal, in a general order says: The Major General commanding desires to express to Brigadier General Sherman his full appreciation of the amount and importance of the services rendered by the expedition under General Sherman's command • and his thanks for the full, reliable and valuable information as to the condition of the troops, defenses, &c., in this portion of the Department of the South, which Gen. Sherman has furnished WICEAN BUCHANAN A San Francisco correspondent of the New York Times, describing the incidents of the late deluge in California, relates the followinuf the tragedian, Buchanan, who used to tragedy " hero some years since. He is of the Neafie school; and in New York, upon one occasion, when per forming at a cheap theatre, they came to gether in the last scene of Macbeth, re sembling the concussion of a couple of lo comotives, a sagacious critic in the gallery declared it altogether too much pork for a shilling. The correspondent of the Times says: "Everybody knows McKean Buchanan, the tragedian, who can chew more 'soar' than Forrest, even, and being fully his equal, physically, can tear things generally; in fact, I think he can outroar friend For rest—he's a 'tearer' when he gets his blood up, which takes place when the pit and gal lery begins to 'hi hi.' Well, Buchanan, as we call him, had been-'9) country' doing 'Metamora,"Richard No. 3,' and other original plays for the 'honest miners,' and was coming down—got overhauled by the flood at some little town, which, beginning to leave by installments, as the water rose, Buck concluded to leave himself—so char tered a boat, and with a Jew, a stray con traband, an Irishman and his own agent, set sail for Sacramento. They got along very well for a time, but finally got caught among the tree tops and brush, and capsized. It was every fellow for himself, and Tragedy took a tall buttonwood. The darkie continued on with the boat bottom up. The Jew followed Buchanan *in his lofty flight. - Once safely ensconc ed they began to look about them for aid, but none came, and it was not until they had been ' tree'd' eighteen hours that they were seen and rescued by a descending steamboat, which 'rounded to' on seeing a strange looking figure in the top of the tree shouting out and gyrating at a great rate. Buchanan's appearance was a little strange, as in escaping from the sinking boat he had seized upon the first articles of his wardrobe handiest, and had clam bered up the tree with a Roman helmet on his head, a sword in his waistband, and the ermine robe of Richard the Third float ing from his shoulders. They say Mac made a splendid appear pearance as he, true to instinct and habit, stood forth with one foot on a prejectin_g limb, sword in hand, helmet on his head, and the regal toga floatingmajestically from his shoulders, and in true tragedy attitude —the ruling passi on strong even in a tree top. When recognized, some of the fel lows, who were dry and very comfortable aboard the steamer, wanted Mac to give them a touch of Richard' before coming down- ' but Mac was cold, and his teeth were chattering, and be couldn't do itjus tice, and to their polite reqUest he said he 'would see them ' &c., Arc Shakspeare, slightly modified to snit circumstances, would have been very appropriate: " A steamboat! a steamboat! my kingdom for a steamboat!" Poor Mac has 'taken water' several times, but never before under such circumstances. He had his ardor dampened and lost his wardrobe, with the exception of the magnificence before mentioned in which he descended to the level of the river and common people.

C POSITION OF THE ENEMI A BRILLIANT AFFAIR IMPORTANT POSITION GAINED OPERATIONS OF OUR SHARPSHOOTERS A GREAT BATTLE EXPECTED THE RESULT NOT DOUBTED Gen. McClellan's Army BALTIMORE, April 11.—The Old Point boat has arrived. The following are the main points of the American's.special correspondent's letter. The storm has at length brake, and the sun shines brightly this afternoon, though the wind is still blowing. Nothing has been seen or heard of the Merrimac to-day, and, in view of the re cent terrible reverses to the rebels in the West, it is doubted whether they will have the courage to attempt offensive operations, even with their iron-plated monster. Still, desperate circumstances require, desperate remedies, and their desperate strait may induce attempts at something in this way. If she ever does come she will probably make her appearance to-morrow. Parties who come in from the army re port no apocial change in affairs. Contin ual skirmishing is going on, and a brilliant little affair occurred yesterday morning, in which Griffin's battery participated with marked effect, killing and wounding 27 of the rebels. The rebel position extends across the peninsula, from Yorktown to Warwick, .near the. James river, a short distance above Mulberry Point. The conformation of the land and the making in of the creek from James river shortens their line of de fence and enables them to command, with their fortifications, all the roads of the peninsula, Gans. Lee and Joseph E. Johnston are both reported to be with the rebel forces here, one commanding at Yorktown and the other at Warwick. Gen. Magruder, holding a subordinate command, is with the reserves at Williams- burg. According to reports from rebel desert. ers, the rebel forces number about 50,000, of whom 30,000 are reinforcements from the line of the Rappahannock and about Norfolk. Despite the weather and bad roads our Generals are pushing forward prep ara tions for the assault of the rebel works. and not many days will elapse before York town will be ours and Richmond threaten• ed. The glorious news from the West is act ing as an excellent stimulant for ourarmy, and greatly encourages the troops, under the present hardships, to strive to win equal honors. Benton's Sharp-shooters give good ac counts of themselves. They bold the ad vanced position, under The rebel batteries, from which they continually harrass the enemy. A head above the parapet becomes an instant mark for half a dozen rides, which, from a thousand yards distance. rarely fail to hit their mark. The rebels keep well under cover. One sharpshooter, belonging to the California regiment. has almost wholly pre vented the rebels from using a large gun in an important position. From a well selected rifle pit he keeps a constant aim upon the gun, and hardly an attempt has been made I'or two days to fire it without the rebels losing one or more men from his deadly aim. One of the orders of the day is that one of our divisions has secured an important position, the holding of which will eventu ally lead to the forcing of the rebel line of detense. Much important preliminary work has been done by our troops, and with the re turn of good weather active operations will be hardly postponed many days. The task before Gen. M'Clellan, the reduction of fortified intrenchments, is that for which he is especially qualified, and the result is not doubted. Official from Island No. 10. The following is the close of Gen: Pope's official report of the evacuation of Island No. 10 and its results : Three Generals, seven Colonels, seven regiments, several battalions of infantry, five companies of artillery, one hundred heavy siege guns, twenty-tour piece of field artillery, an immense quantity of ammuni tion and supplies, several thousand stand of small arms, a great number of tents, horses, wagons, etc., have fallen into our hands. Before abandoning 'slang No. 10. the enemy sunk the gunboat Grampus, and six of his transports. These last I - am rais ing, and expect to have them ready for service in a few days. The famous float ing battery was scuttled and turned adrift with all her guns aboard, she was captur ed and ran in shoal water by our forces at New Madrid. Our siicCeis is complete and overwhel ming. Our troops = as - I expected, behaved gloriously. I will in my full report endeav orid do full justice to all. Brigadier Get ale Paine, Stanley and Hamilton cro the river and conducted their di visions with untiring activity and skill.— General Paine, fortunate in having the ad vance, exhibited unusual vigor and cour age, and had the satisfaction to receive sell, of of the enemy. Of Col. Bissell, of the Engineer regiment, I can hardly say too much. Full of resources, untiring and determined, he labored night and day, and completed a work which will be a monu ment of enterprise and skill. We have crossed this great river with a large army, the banks of which were lined with batteries of the enemy to oppose our passage; have pursued and captured all his forces and material of war, and have not loved a man, nor met an accident.

NEW YORK, April IL—The steamer Asia has arrived, with Liverpool tlat. , A the 30th. The London Times has a sarcastic article on the taxes to be imposed in America, saying that it would require the whole army to collect them. A brilliant conversation was held at the residence of Mr. Gurney, M. P., in Lon don, on the subject of the Atlantic Cable. A great many influential men were present and many speeches were made. It was thought that England should take the initiative. Mr. Field said he was authoriz ed to say that the American Government had the greatest confidence in the judg ment and integrity of England, and was ready to co-operate in any plan that might be adopted.

Horse.— Mr. Nixon wa in favor of the general principles oftl, bill now pending before the committee recognizing the express consti tutional power to abolish slavery here. or making n just compensation to the owners. He reviewed the causes assigned for tin , rebellion whieli w,re causeless and sense less. as the rebellion we, malignant and wicked. The ambition or Southern lead. ers and slavehoiders was, at the origin, sti nut hoed by t t ibr power and arro gance. rears ago they commenced the work upon national disintegration. having ceased to control tile Cove:1111mM, they sought to reconstruct it with African sla very as the corner stone and over it exer eise their former sway. He would punish the I authors ofthis war as far asthe Constitution permits. The insurrection must be put down. It was time for the people of the I South and European nations to understand that the people of the North are in ear nest in this matter; and before they will submit to the triumph of this rebellion, they will, should the necessities of the war as a last resort require it, arm every slave of the rebel masters, drive the rebels beyond their borders and hold the territory for the home of the liberated negroes. Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky. said we are on no summer sea; we arc in the midst of a storm of war. The country was convulsed from one end to the other. This state of affairs was enough to put all men on their deepest sense of respon sibility and he had felt it to an oppressive degree. This rebellion was without par allel in the history of the world. Where did rebellion ever assume such gigantic proportions; as this ? Where was there so much to be destroyed whether we consid er the material prosperity or the benificent institutions involved p ? But the immediate question was the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. For the first thirty or forty years of our existence perhaps the records of Congress bear no trace of a measure comtemplating such a change of condition. The proposi tion had been rejected, time and time again in the palmiest days of the republic. It was judged impolitic by the predecessors of the gentlemen now here. The Senate, however had just passed the bill which was now before the House for its action. Whatpractical good or advan tage would be derived from its becoming a law? Apart from other consideration s this was a most inauspicious time for such aciton. Would not the passage of the bill strengthen them in the belief that such is the purpose of Congress ? It would be con sidered by the rebels as the general pur. eral purpose to interfere with slavery in the j States. He repeated that this territory was ceded fora single purpose. • Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, remarked that considering the time which had elapsed since thin bill was introduced, an opportu- ; nity having been given to the country in the meantime, to judge of the propriety of its provisions. He had hoped that the question would have been taken without further discussion. Mr. Wickliffe substitute rejected 85 against 84. The House then adjourned.

IS CAMP NEAR YORKTOWN, VA., April 7, 1862. My letter yesterday gave an account of our advance to this point, a mile and a half from Yorktown. The position occu pied by our forces is also a mile and a half from York river, to whichstreamour pick ets extend. A tew federal gunboats were in sight on the river this morning, but the heavy thirtytwo-ponnders of the rebels are rather too formidable for themes yet. Our seige guns are now coining in, but the bad condition of the roads retards the move ments of artillery. Our troops were busily occupied last night in throwing up earthworks for the protection of ovr storming parties, and while so engaged Lad a sharp encounter with a company of rebel infantry which had been sent out to see what we were doing. Our boys were ready for the enemy, and met them with a sharp volley, which hur•' ried them back to their linesat the "dou, ble quick." Our camps lie just back of the forest, which hide as imperfectly from the tibser vation of the enemy. The lines are so near together that the rebel shells often fall_ among our tents. Our upper battery is sit uated in an opening in the woods, and is plainly in sight of the rebel works, so near them in fact that the shells tear up the gound and have killed our horsesat a mur derous rate. Two of our men in this bat tery have been killed, and three wounded. (eneral McClellan passed the whole of yesterday in the advanced camp, and it was supposed that his presence indicated an immediate attack upon the enemy; but to-day there is no sign of action, and the rebels are as silent as mice. Gen. Fttil-John Porter. General Porter is in command of the ad vance guard of the army :and has the whole direction of affairs. McClellan has his headquarters three miles in our rear, and General Sedgwick is with him in command of the reserves. General Porter, who has the keenness of a hawk, is never at rest.— He trusts nobody's eye or impressions but his own, And exposes himself in the most dangerous places while superintending the preparations for the siege. - While recon noitering the rebel works, a cannon-shot killed the horse of one of his aids, and more than one shell has burst before r over or behind him. He was three times up in a balloon yesterday, once from apoint near Yorkriver,:carefully reconnoitering tiec i sition_of the rebel!...:General MecL made hisrwhole sojourn in camp with Gen. Porter; andluts confided to him the exectt tion of his plans. Secretary of War Not the lenstremarksble among the in cidents of the Beige is the defiance cast back and forth-by the opposing armies in the stirring notes of the military bands. In the soft twilight of these lovely spring days, the bands of the rebelregiments sau cily play the air of "Dixie," and the lines are so close together that the music is dis tinctly heard in our camp, while we send back the glorious strains of the "Star-Span gled Banner, ' and drown the cheers oftbe enemy with shouts that finds ringing echo in the woods. Our troops are eager to set upon the enemy, and are full of confidence and enthusiasm. Young Rebels in Palagiore. According to the following story from he Baltimore Clipper, the young rebels of that city emulate the vicious acts of their elders : ~T h e most high-handed outrage of the season transpired on - Thursday afternoon, in the Western section of the city. A little son of Professor A. J: Cleveland, while playing with other children on the corner of Republican and . Pratt streets, was approached by a gang of boys whose ages ranged from twelve to sixteen years, who asked ifhe was a Union boy. The little fellow replied 'yes,' whereupon the whole crowd fell upon and beat him shame- fully, blacking his eyes and cutting hislipi. - They then compelled the little fellow to follOw them to a brickyard new the Wash ington turnpike, where they thrust him into the flue of a brick kiln and'kept him' prisoner there for nearly half an hour.— Information of the outrage ; baying best communicated to the family of Kr.

McCall's headquarters bere,tifter inspec tion by the General himself, on Monday morning, the 17th of February. They are a fine body of men, and nobly are they sus taining the reputation of Pennsylvania.-- They left under charge of Sergeant. H. S. Fisher, Fifth regiment. A Rebel General Considerable curiosity has been excited here to know something of a Rebel officer who figures in the reports. Gen. W. W. Makal, captured at Island No. 10, is a native of irginia, and was formerly Assistant Adjutant General in our army. No longer since than last June he came from California at the expense of the Government, drew his pay, and resigned. For two or three weeks he hung around Elkton. Maryland, to the intense disgust of the loyal men there, and suddenly dis appearing, now turns up a "General." Ifis whole family have lived on the Gov ernment all their lives.
