Mr.. Brace writes to the New York Trib-

the Arnold Of Hungary:

une. the following description Of Georgy,
the Arnold Of Hungary:
In regard to Georgy, one Of my friends
here, lately remarked, that he was the op
position Of Kossutb-"Kossu,h was Hun
garian mn: nothing else Gcorgy was any
thing but n Hungarnn!"
There is much truth in the remark -.
Georgy ne2rr has ha! the least sympathy
with either the virtues or tine weaknesses Of
his c0un,rymen. A man Of n cod stem
na,ui e, of few words and tremendous deed;
he always laughed over the Magyar fire.
and elu0uence and patriotism. Despite the
lnIsenes. he di9pIayad at last, there is some.
thing very striking about his character. il
he was traitor, he was no common ono.
His career commenced in a Characteristic
way. by his hangng up, when he was only
mr. ior, one of the first mob emen in Huu>
gary, for trenchery, Us s,crn'y and indll
entity as if the man had been n runn way
drummer. The affair made IL groat noise,
and brought hl> name very prominently be-
fore the public. His after course was cons
sis,cu, with ihis-as cool in q discharge Of
grape, his officers say, az he was at the
council tGara.
They have told me they have often seen
hlm sitting quietly on his horse, with n
PISTOL in hand but not for the enpmy. The
moment he saw a man nlnch. lie shot HIM
ns .nrelen'ing y as if he had been n dog.
lie seemed to others utterly Indifferent 10
what men usually long after. He always
p.ofnsscd, amid his most splendid achieves
m"nls, he wun'G r6the. he teaching chcnis-
try, than leading an army. When KnsSu'h
sent him, on one occasion 2O0 600 gniders
(l00, 0,Gn0D to rnakea PROVISION fer his future,
and IN ordcr not TO "iIrhd hlm, inc'oSed it to
his wife, he sent 1t back with the remark
elf ! fail, Stall not need l., and ny wife
can be govcrncss again, rs she was before;
if we nre conquered aud escape, can be
professor abroad; il We conquer, and sur
vive the victory, need no Money How!"
After one Of his grand victories, the min
i~'ry sent him cerlnir decorations and orders
of honors; he put them aside wiz. a srecr,
that such gGw gaws were not the things for
Il republic!
People have tod me that after tie storms
ing Of Oben, the only words on the lips of
The people aud Of the army, was "GcOrgy!
Georgy!" but with all the demonstrations
before his quarters, lie never showed him
SELF and remained cnIlly wiihin-lndccd,
expressing himself. that "ihis verv bonn
bardment was the ruin Of Hungary"
lie always >neerrd at every body, even the
friends who !loi.cd him; aad was almost
the only man in Hungary who was perfectly
inhl'afent under KossuIh's el"qucrce-
Amid the splendId!y dressed Hungarian
officers. he always appeared in his old
na or'S coat and in boots, which he had nu'
taken of, perhaps for week.
4 lady told m" tina, she met him after h"
taking Of oben, in vile looking coat, with
great hole in one Of the elbows
oh, remons;,a'nd with him for wearing
such thing. "Poh!' said he, "l'Il be
known through all my rags -
"lie,' said che, pointing to the rent; ;"sce
the D'ogencs prepng through The hoIc!" at
which h. seemed very unusually dl>con-
ceT,ed. And ha2e no doubt the lady had
hit the mnt'cr exactly. 1t vas not that he
was indifferent to peoples opinion. ii"

were abandoned to Austrian dungeons, or

He saved nothing but his own miserable
