BEM.--Gen Joseph Benz, the distinguished
leader of the Hungarians in their resistance to
the Austrian power, is a native of Poland,
and is now 81 years of age. He was by far
the ablest leader in the last Polish Revolution
Of 1880, in which the cause of Poland was
lost by the treachery and incapacity of the
mobiles. He was educated at the Military Aca-
denny at Cracow, served as a Lieutenant of
horse artillery under Napolean, in his ill-fated
Russian campaign. And was with Mcdonald at
Dantzic, some fourteen months after the re-
treat of the French. After the capture of that
fertilization he staid at home until 1915, when
he was incorporated in the newly organized
army of Poland, under the Archduke, Con-
stantine. Upon the accession of Nicholas.
he obtained his discharge from the service,
and went to LeopoI, in Galacia, to live, where
he remained until the breaking out of the Pc.
Ish Revolution in 1880, when he received the
command of battery of horse artillery, with
the rank of Major in the Polish army. His
galantry and skill raised him to the rank of

with others, made his escape to France, and
subsequently, went to Portugal. When the
Revolution of 1s4S broke out in Vienna, he
was soon upon the ground, and was immedi-
ately named commander of the Mobile Guard,
which he organized. His GOODNESS and valor
upon that occasion, infused courage into the
people, and the barricades which he defended,
were impregnable On the capitulation of the
city, he was one whose name was expressly
omitted from any amnesty, and reward was
offered by Winiischgratz for his head. He
was Struggled out in coffin, and thus made
his escape TO Hungary. where he, at first, re-
ceived only the command Of the artillery, but
afterwards he gained the command of the d.
vision operating in the East. which he has
exercised with remarkable success.
So far, he is the only General on the popu-
lar side throughout Europe, who has display
ed abilities at all equal to the crisis. Fight
ing in the van Of European liberty, his career
will always possess an interest to our people
and it is sincerely to be hoped that be, and
his compatriots will be able to keep at bay
the =" leagued oppression" of both Austrian and
Russian despotism.
