Dr Selden found the patient apparently about to expire, and, from the impending suffocation upon the ingress of air within so large an opening, he could make no exploration of the wound. Closing the woynd with a large cumpresa and bandage, opium and stimulants were freely ad- mini.slered. K'^action took place, and in a fort night sufficient adhesions were estubiished to per mit ex{)osure of the cavity of the Wv-und and to reokgnizc and remove the metal face of the watch from some six inches at the bottom of the wound. For several week? fragments of the w»tch contic- ued to present themselves and were extracted; some from upon the diaphragm, others below the clavicle The lung collapsing, was not torn to pieces, though wounded in several pjints. Both the heart, covered by the poricardium and the aorta, were exposed to view and to touch Sup puration was enormous; hemorrhages frequent. The collapsed lung became bound down by adhe- si tns The whole side ot tha thorax sank. Sus tained by every article ot nutritious focrti calculated to MUpply an iaordinato appetite, tho pati«nt’s recovory was slow, until the wound, progrossively rfc-iijcp'i. could only admit a catheter.

Gtni'rdl Bejinre^jxrd.—General Beauregard is \ man of middle height, about 47 yeara of age. He would be very youthful in appearance were it not for the color of hia hair, which is much greyer than his earlier photographs repiescnt Some pertwns account for the sudden manner in which l.is hair turned grey by allusion to his cares and nnxietics during the past two years; but the real and lc.s^ romantic reason is to be found in tho rigidity of tho yankee blockade, which interrupts the arrival of articles of toil«t. He has a lonsr .stiaiirht nose, handsome brown eyes and a dark moust4^3he without whiskers, and he is extremely polite. He is a New Orleans crcole and French is hia native language He spoke to me of the inevitable necessity, sooner or later, of a war between tha Northern States and Qreas Britain; and he remarked tbat if Englatid would join the Bonth at once, tho Southern armies, relieved of the present blockade and enormous yankee pressure^ would be able to march right into the Northern States, and by occupying their principal cities would give the yankees so much employment that they would be unable to spare many men for Canada. Ue acknowledged that in Mississippi General Grant had dispkycd uncommon vigor, and mot with considerable success, considuriog that be had no Kreat military capacity. He ragarded the question ol iron dads versus torts as settled, especially when the fire from the latter is tdunging. If the other monitors had ao •• WAllld have met the same fate. He said his official or ders both from the Government and tho city council were that he was to allow Charleston to bo laid in ashes socmer than surrender it; the- Confederates being unanimous in their determina tion that whatever happened the capital of South Carolina should never have to submit to the fate of New Orleans. But he did not, however, an ticipate any such alternative.—English Letter. Speculation come to Grief.—An old Jew, named Simon Grundenbcrg on Thursday arrived at the Petersburg depot fVom the South with two trunks packed with sugar. Traveling with the trunks as baggage, he hoped to escapc the pay ment of freight* but when the trunks were being put,put of the oars, tho conductor, noticing their extraordinary weight, charged him $20 freight vpon them. Thu* the Jew refuHcd to pay, and got very much excited on the subject. VV^hile he was haggling with tho conductor a negro shouldered one of the trnnks and made off with it. When the Jew, having Hettlel with tho cjn- ductor, turned to look for his trunk, and found that it had been stolen, he gave way to the most immoderate grief, tore his hair, and, with tears streaming trom his eycit, ran about the street crying, “Oh, my sugar.' oh, my sugar!” Persons ignorant of t>be facts, who saw him carrying on in this way, and heard his words, thought ho had lost his wife. All thi'^ time his other trunk, which was oiuou lar;'oi than the first, was lying unprote.oted at the depot, ebi would no doubt have been stolen uoo but for its groat weight.
