Some of the Northern journals are making an effort to ridicule the military character of General Beauregard. Fort Sumter is an evidence of the engineering skill of that General that, after having withstood four years of war, cannot be blown away by a newspaper paragraph. He was General enough to take it from the forces of the United States in twenty-four hours, and he is such an engineer that he made it impregnable. The candid confession of the New York Herald's correspondent that Fort Sumter was stronger when the United States recovered it than when they fired the first gun at it, is testimony enough to the genius of Beauregard.
