the Legitimists, his former offences were
overpowered, and for some secret service he
was restored to the army, as lieutenant In
the 5lst regiment on foot.
His infamous agency as the tool of Louis
Philippe, in the betrayal of the Duchess de
Berri, covered him with disgrace The con-
tempt and scorn of his fellow officers forced
him to retire from his regiment, and seek
service in the foreign legion in Africa -
Louis Philippe, however, rewarded him
with a captaincy, and the control of the
regimental chest Here his gambling propen-
sities involved him in difficulty. A large
deficiency in his accounts was discovered,
and he was only saved from being cashered
by the intercesSiOn of Colonel Bedeau, his
superior officer, with General Rulhieres. the
military governor of the African provinces
Arnaud that Bedeau was one of the officers
whom he arrested on the 2d December, 1851,
and sent into exile and. at the same time,
he rewarded General Rulhieres's clemency by
striking his name off the army list, because
ne refused to approve the coup d etat.
1t is not strange that Louis Napoleon
found in st. Anaud ready tool. His in
famous and horrible Algerian exploit, in
1916, when be roasted five hundred Arab
men, women and children alive in IA cave.
was fit preparation for his fratricidaI
achievements in Paris in December, 1881. -
His poverty, his extravaganza, and lis want
of principle marked him out as an efficient
instrument in the hands of d master as un-
scrupulous as himself. For his degrading
services he received reward in wealth, in
rank. and in command; and yet we believe
that Louis Napoleon rejoices secretly at his
death. 1t rids him Of "a dangerous man, ant

Marshal st. Arnaud.

We alluded briefly, yesterday, to the death
of Marshal st. Arnaud cOmmanderin- chief
of the allied forces in the Crimea. While
the French and English papers glorify his
memory, it is but due to truth that, on this
side of the Atlantic, there should be no mis-
apprehension as to his claims to the regard
of poSterity. Were we to observe the old
maxim of the Romans Demortui8 nil ni8i
bonum, we should say that st. Arnaud was
naturally brave, and there stop. Personal
bravery, was his sole virtue, it, indeed
bravery in man without principle can be
regarded as virtue. Courage is quality
often found in the most infamous character
and a certain kind Of courage is a necessity
consistent IN the chara ter of great villain.
st. Arnauds real name was Jean Jacques
Leroy. He was born in 1901, and entered
the French army as sub-ieutenant in the
Guards the year following the battle of Wa
terloo. The first distinction which we hear
of his gaining was his expulsion from the
service for conduct rejecting on his honesty
For several years after he supported himself
by '' his wits" becoming it is said, in the
course Of his many shifts, clerk to a write
Of ove-letters, in Paris. For some of his
tricks. while in this employment, he was
obliged to leave Paris suddenly; and we
next hear of him in London, in connection
with an accomplished and notorious female
adventurer, who called herself the Baroness
Fillay. Her practices in London caused her
to shift her quarters back to Paris, and ST.
Arnaud TO avoid arrest, soon followed her

ANCIENT INHABITANTS OF NEBRAsKA.-On
the Upper Missouri there exists a tract of
land known by the name of the MauUaisGs
IerreS, or bad lands at one time, probably
the bottom of an immense lake, in which
perlshed thousands Of animals having now
no representative on earth. 1t appears that
the waters of this pond were removed in
some convulsions OF nature, and the sedi-
ment at its bottom became indurated. The
portion of the surface thus excavated forms
a valley of 80 miles III length, and 30 III
breadth. The remains OF animals, which
lived and breathed long before the advent Of
man upon the earth, are here found in such
abundance as 10 form of this tract an i'm
mense cemetery of vertebrate. The bones
are said to be completely patrified, and their
cavities filled with silicious matter. They are
preserved in various degrees of integrity,
some being beautifully perfect, and others
broken.
Two remarkable species of rhnoceros.
the first ever found in America, were dis
covered here, and also a sort of panther
smaller than the present variety-and like
wise a number of strange animals with long
names, unlike anything which man ever saw
alive. We know then, that there were once
individuals in Nebraska as curious, and
strangely shaped, and pugnacious. as any
squatter which the present rush of emigra-
ton will carry thither.

The Springfield Cattle show.

The United States Agricultural Society,
closed its exhibition Of stock at Springfield
on Friday last, the number of entries were
l6S. 1t was a most imposing display OF thor
ough bred stock, from d distance, as we'll as
by our Ohio breeders. 1t was said by gem
tlemen from other States. from Canada and
and Great Britain, that although conversant
with such displays, they had never seen any
thing to exceed this. The Springfield Re
public says:
1--WE regret to state that many propre-
tors of fine stock have failed TO reach here
III time for competition, on account of rail
road detentlOns. The number of animals is
hardly as large as we expected, but for quail
ity the show is without parallel probably in
this or any other country. At twelve
o'clock on Wednesday the aged Durham
bulls were admitted to the ring, and the
Judges proceeded to note their qualities -
Next followed two year old Durham bulls
Next one year old Durham bulls. Next
came aged Durham COWS, which was the
most numerous of the classes shown on that
day. With their examination the exercises
of the day closed A grander show of an
imals, wild or domestic, we have never seen.
Judges will be puzzled to determine which
are best. The multitude present seemed
highly edited with the sight. The delight
full state Of the weather is subject of gen.
eral congratulation, and all are much obliged
for it."
The exhibition closed with grand BAN
quet prepared by the citizens of Springfield,
to which some 800 or 900 sat down. After
which addresses were made by Messrs. Viii
der, of Massachusetts, i. ID. Campbell, of
&c Stnta - IL ,>f L. n
NJ. Clay, of Kentucky, and several other tai
ented gentlemen of different States.
The influence for good which this exhibition
will have upon stock breeders in Ohio, will
be very great. Our farmers may just as we'll
have good stock as poor, and the additional
expense in procuring it will be more than
remunerated by the satisfaction of having
the best the country affords. - Fremont

about 1000 men hOrS du combat, 3 officers
killed, 81 wounded, 253 sub-officers and sol
diers killed, 1,O33 wounded,
"The Russians have lost about 5000 men
The field of battle is covered with theil
dead, and our field hospitals are full of their
wounded. We have counted a proportion
of seven Russian dead bodies for one French.
The Russian artillery caused us loss, but ours
is very superior to theirs. shall all my life
regret not having had with me my two regi-
ments of African chasseurs. The Zouayes
were the admiration of both armies; they
are the first soldiers in the world
Both armies fought with great courage
and enthusiasm. The Russians had great
advantages however, in point of numbers,
superiority Of position, and the number and
size of the guns-32 and "a lb brass ones
with numerous field pieces and howitzers.-
This is the most sanguinary conflict that has
taken place on the continent of Europe since
the battle of Waterloo The loss of the
Russians was over 5000 besides the prison
ers and wounded; of the allied forces nearly
5000 were killed and wounded. The Rus
sian army retreated to Sevastopol and i'm
mediately blockaded the port by sinking a
line of their own ships across the mouth OF
the harbor to prevent the approach of the
English and French fleets, and will also hin.
der their own ships from going out. The
defeat Of the Russians has so much encour-
aged the allied forces that they now talk
strongly of attacking Sevastopol, and we
shall not be surprised TO learn by the aext
steamer that it has in reality been taken
together with the whole Russian army. The
scene of the battle field on the day after the
engagement is described as most terrible
and sickening sight. 1t was almost impos
sible to get through the piles of the dead
wounded and dying. An eye witness says
8 The hills of Greenwich Park, in fair time
are not more densely crowded with human
beings than were the heights of Alma with
dead and dying. On these bloody mounds
fell 2,l96 English officers and men, and up
wards of 5000 Russians. while the western
extremity was covered with l,400 gallan
Frenchmen and more than 5000 of the
foes" The action was a short one. On tn
part of the allied forces it commenced abou
Ii P NJ, and few minutes after the Rus
SLAMS commenced their attack.
On the 28th Marshal st. Arnaud fell il
through excessive fatigue, and on the 29tt
died. Gen. Canrobert succeeds to the com
mand of the French forces. 1t is said he i
far superior to the deceased Marshal, both as
man and General, having won himself grea
honors in Algeria, and is soldier who owe!
his rank to merit Fremont Journal.
