The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1852-01-28

GoRGEy AS He Is The following details
upon the present situation and mode OF life OF
the once promising, but now fallen Hungarian
General, are taken from letter dated kiagen-
fnrt, and addressed to the Weiser-Ietung. Ar
thur Gorgey, the former commander-ln ciie' OF
the Hungarian army, has resided in klagen!urt
for these last two years without his presence
having made the slightest difference to the quiet
course of events in the town. The man who
shook first the throne of his sovereign and at
forwards the revolutionary government OF ms
country, now beguiles his privacy and lonell-
ness with fanciful experiments in chemistry
and physics. His usual companion is an Eng
lishmarl, who scarcely ever stirs from his side,
but with this exception he is almost entirely
estranged from society; and the only family
which he has been known to visit, and this but
very rarely,s that of the cloth manufacturer, Muir
whose acquaintance he made during his rest
dence at Prague, ten years ago, when, having
left the 18th Hussars, he applied himself dill
gently to chemical pursuits.
Every now and then rum"r is spread that

yearly pension of 5000 forms, while the Rus
slams have already sent him $4,000 roubles, IN
two instalments, the first of 10000 and the Sc
cond Of 10000 roubles; So at least say those
who pass for the initiated tits generally be-
lieve that he is commissioned by the govern
ment with the preparation OF military history

GERS, qualified to.assst him in such work have
la,ter.y taken up their residence here, and WISH

Among the common people his appearance
awakens rather aversion than sympathy; indeed
il is sid that three several attempts have been
made here upon his life. However, it is but
seldom that he is seen, as he will remain in the
house for month together, unless compelled
by the fearful entreaties of his wife to take
walk in the precincts of the town. At sucl
tim es the young man (he was only born in 1918
presents dcplorable aspect. His sunken eve
are fixed in an unchanging stare. his checks ar
pale and fallen in, his walk is weary, and II

hands are thrust. As If uneasy, he never look
straigh at any one, nor takes the least notice
