This Hotel has superior advantages over any other house iji .Vsheville. as the Stage Otlice is kept here for all the Stages that arrive at and depart Jk-ora this place. 1 would say to families that intend visiting our beau- titul town, and expect to remain several weeks, it will be well for them to write and engage rooms, as the Kagle is generally pretty much crowded by the middle of July. As regards charges, I will make them siifti- ciently nioilerate to suit the jiresent times. Hoping to have tlie pleasure of seeing you at the Ivigle, I am yours respectfully, .1.

Beauregard to those of Nature, it is, of course, not proper for me to speak. The general reader, in fact, will have a sufficiently precise idea of them by conceiving a line ot forts some two miles I in extent, zigzag in form, with angles, salients, ; bastions, casemates and everything that properly ! belongs to works of this kind. I The strength and advantages of this position at Manassas are very much increased by the fact that fourteen miles further on is a position of similar formation, while the country between is admirably adapted to the subsistence and entrench ment of troops in numbers as large as they can be easily manceuvered on the real battle-field. Water is good and abundant; forage as it is every where found in the rich farming districts of Virginia, and the communication with all parts of the country easy. Here, overlooking an extensive plain, watered by mountain streams which ultimately find their way to the Potomac, and divided into verdant fields of wheat and oats and corn, pasture and meadow, are the headquarters of the advanced forces of the army of the Potomac. They are South Carolinians, Louisianians, Alabamians, Mis- sissippians and Virginians, for the most part. Never have I seen a liner body of men—men who were more obedient to di.scipline or breathed a more self-sacrificing patriotism. As might be expected from the skill with which he has chosen his position and the system with which he encamps his men, Gen. Beaure gard is very popular here. I doubt if Napoleon himself had more the undivided confidence of his army, liy nature, as also from a wise policy, he is very reticent. Not an individual here knows his plans or a single move of a Reg'ment before it is made, and then only the Colonel and his men know w^here it goes to. There is not a man here who cun give anything like a satisfactory answer how many men he has or where his exact lines are. For the distance of fourteen miles around, you see tents everywhere, and from them you can make a rough estimate of his men, but how many more are encamped on the by-roads and in the forests none can tell. The new comer, from what • he sees at first glance, puts down the number at about 3U,0UU men; those who have been here lonirest estimate his I’orce at 5*•,(.•(JO, and some even at And there is the samet^- crepancy as to the quantity of his artillor}'. ?o close does the (General kt ep his afiairs to h.mself, his left hand hardly knows what his ri^ht hand doeth. 'Ihe General’s hoadjuarters is a little farm house, about fifteen feet by twmty. fronting on one of the roads that lead to AlexanUria. The ground floor is divided into two rooms. The front one is tilled with desks, at which clerks sit writing, or engaged in business of a varied-char acter. The back one appears to be used for a store-room and kitchen. Above, the same divi sion continues, and the front room is the Gen eral’s apartment, it is about fifieen leet long by ten wide, arid hutig with maps of the Stute and country around, in the cttitre is a plain pine table, on which lie, .leatiy fuidid up, wliut iiie vi.sitor wotiid naturally tuke to be pKi..-', sj ee;ti- eations, surveys, geoi;.etrical drawings, S:c., aud y their side military reports. Everythiiig has ^lie air of neatness, coolness and iu..thematicai calculation. (Jf course, there is nothing in the room bu* what pertains to the offce, and to most eyes it would appear somewhat bare; but what there is, is arranged with so mtich taste t.iat the general imj^ rcssion is V>y no means unpleasing. The (teneral is in his rooiu the greater j»art of the day, apparently occupied with his plans and reports. Then hour after hour he sits alone by his neat little pine table, maps, plans and speci fications before him, and large open windows be hind and around him, at first sight the cold, calcu lating, unsyjiipathizing 'jiathematician. Every now and then an aid enters with a rej)ort or a m«s- age, which is delivered in military style, deliber ately examined in silence, the corresponding order promjitly written out or delivered in as few words as possible, aud our mathematical iceberg is alone again. When a visiter drops in, however, at a leisure moment, the formality ot the officer readi ly gives way to that easy interchange of civilities which characterizes our people at home, but noth ing more. Flven at the table, when the Gener al is daily surrounded by the most distinguished gentlemen of the country, there appears to be a distance which, 1 suppose, is natural to his po sition, but which is rarely found elsewhere. The leading characteristic of Gen. Beauregard’s mind is clearness of perception. Superadded to this is a strictly mathematical education. This you see in word and look, even in the expression of his face. Sines, cosines and tangents, stick out everywhere. In person he is slender, but compactly built, and extremely neat. Add to this a precision of* manner, slightly modified by the ease which characterizes the well-bred man of the world, and you have a correct idea of the man whose word is law and gospel throughout one of the largest, most intelligent and best appointed armies ever assembled on the American continent. In his personal staff, the General has been pecu liarly fortunate. They are principally from S »uth Carolina, the same he had with him at the siege of Fort Sumter, all of tnem accomplished, discreet gentlemen, of the most pleasing manners. The (Teneral’s mess is very much in keeping I with his character and simple enough tor Napo- 1 leon hims'^lt. It is served on a long pine table, I set in an open piazza of the farm h(»use, and all j his friends are hospitably welcuiued to it three i times a day. The General sits nearly in the mid- ' die, his aids immediately ‘>n one side and his ; latent guests on the other; the rest ot the comjiany as they may choose or chance to seat themselves; the viands are such as the country around affords, only the rice was “imported,” and with it. 1 sus- I ptjet, a South Carolina cook, for every kernel was I as independent as ^he Str’.te from which it camo.
