MARsHAL MURAT.

Extract from a reUieW Of the French WorE in
the .American Repte'O, purporhng TO be a
history q Me pirate and public he Of Mar.
hqI Murat]
His three distinguished characteristics were,
high chivalric courage, great skill as a general.
and almost unparalleled GOODNESS in the hour
Of extreme peril. Added to all this, Nature
had lavished her gifts on the mere physica al
man. His form was tall and finely proportions
ed-his tread like that Of a knights face
striking and noble, while his piercing glance
few men could bear. This was Murat
on foot, but place him on horseback and he
was still more imposing. He neve' mounted a
steed that was not worthy Of the boldest Knigt
of ancient days, and his incompatible seat
made both Nurse and rider an object Of univer-
sal admiration, The English invariably con-
denim the theatrical costume he always wore,
as an evidence of folly, but we think it is all
in keeping with his character. He was not a
man Of deep thought and compact mind, but
he was oriental in his taste, and loved every
thing gorgeous and imposing.
He usually wore a rich Polish dress, with the
collar ornamented with gold brocade, ample
PantalOons, scarlet or purple, and embroidered
with gold, bootso of yellow leather, while strait
diamond-hilted sword like that worn by the
ancient Romans, completed his dashing exteri-
or. He wore heavy black whiskers, long black
locks-wbich streamed over fiery blue eyes,
On his head he wore a three cornered chapeau,
from which rose a magnificent plume that bent
under the profusion Of ostrich feathers, while
beside it, and in the same gold band, lowered
away a splendid heron plume. Over all this
brillianl costume, he wore in cold weather, a
pelisse of green velvet, lined and fringed with
the %costliest sables. Neither did he forget his
horse in his gorgeous appareling, but HAD him
adorned with the rich Turkish sturrup and
bride, and almost covered with azure colored
traPpings. Had all this fnery been piled on a
diminutive man, or an Indifferent rider like
Bonaparte, it would have appeared ridiculous;
but on the splendid charger and still more ma
jestic figure and bearing Of Murat, it seemed
all in place and keeping. The dazzling exte-
rior always made him mark for the enemy's
bullets in battle, and it is a wonder that SO
conspicuous an object was never shot down.
Perhaps there was never a greater contrast
between " men, than between Murat and
Napoleon, when they rode together along the
lines previous to the battle. The square figure,
plain three-conered hat, leather breeches,
brown s%urtOut, and careless suit Of Napoleon,
were the direct counterpart Of the magnificent
display and imposing attitude of his chivalric
broth er-in-law. To see Murat dressed out in
his extravagant costume at a review, might
create a smile, but whoever once saw that gai-
~ caparisOned steed with ita commanding rider,
in the front rank Of battle, p%lunging like a
'hunder-bOlt through the broken ranks, or
watched the progress Of that towering white
plume, as floating high over the tens Of thou

GEN. SAN. HoUsToS. = Gen. Houston, Of
Texas, passed through this City yesterday
morning, on his way to Washington, to take
his seat as Senator of the Unite States. The
person Of this civilian and quondam savage
was distinguished from his suite by being en-.
veloped in huge Mexican blanket.
And 50 it seems that this singular Individual
is to take his place in TIE Senate Of the United
81 ties as one Of the Legislators Of our country.
Thus it is that a character which combines
beastliness and intellect to a remarkable de-
gree, has been enabled to trample. upon the de-
%cenOies Of life with impunity, and plant him
self in a position which commands the admi-
ration Of that great mqss Of society which
looks rathert / the Office thalt to the man. Ills
history is a sad commentary upon that porver-
sion which is sometimes eyinced in the popular
mind. The man whom the sayages with which
he wished;to fraternize looked upon with con.
tempt, a Senator Of the United sIates!-CDs-

The wings are carrying the charter elections
in New York by a sort Of clean sweep. We
are much pleased with the remark of a cotem-
Porary, that sthese wings are great fellows in a
small election, but when the tug comes they
amt thar! We have mislaid the paper, or we
would be proudto give himcredit for so shrewd
a remark. Nothing characterizes the wings SO
truly. They are as indifferent about the sue
cess Of their principles, from one election to
another, as il they had none. They act as if
they raise q storm whenever the hour of trial
comesi or rather, as if they thought it would
rise itself and sweep everything b%eforeit. Ifit
were not fora lew starving editors, wing prin-
ciples we verify believe, would be forgotten
Their party seems wholly uninterested about
them. Their presses are suffered to Ianguish
and die. Their opponents, on the contrary,
are always on the alert-always upon the
stretch Of oxertion- taking advantage Of every
breeze that blows to watt them into future tri-

something to do, and some responsibilities to-
discharge. And when a 'tugn does cont they
are exceedingly b~igh-spirited, but also exceed
iDgly careless in the exercise of the means Of
success. l~tis.ten to!one them if some PUBLISH
er be not stimulated to some extraordinary eff
fort and expense, by the seeming enthusiasm of
the moment, and then be left to feed on patrio.
tism, when he ought in justice TO have some
bread to mix with it. The wings have faith in
their principles, but it is not a working faith.
Their opponents work, work, work all the
time. They deserve success for thsir labors
and they have it. We say to the wings, "Go
then and do likewise,' and then you'll have it.
