NAroLEoys BLOOD ~ THE L. S. SENATE. A
writer in the Boston Courier says of the new Sena-
tor from Louisiana - His name is Pierre SOulc
He stands very high at tie Bar of Louisiana and his
position has been gained rapidly. He born in
France, and when he came to this country, offered
his services to Gen. Jackson a gardener. The
General, finding him to possess talents above his
station offered him the use Of his library and recon-
mended bun to study. He did SO, and commenced
the practice of law IN New Orleans, where his sue
cess has been very marked. But this is not the most
curious part of ms history. He claims 10 be
raj of Napoleon, and his personal appearance
does not discard the suppostlon. His complexion is
very swarihy; his eye black, restless, and deep sci
his hair long and glossy black lie IS broad-shoul-
dered, well formed, of medium height, has a serious
and reserved air, and a half scowl upon his cOunen-
ance. Those fond Of tracing resembances would
find many points in which to compare him with the
Great Captain. Not among the least striking are
his small and delicate hands, and his genteel foot.
