General pellissicT.

The officer who has been recently invested
with the command of the French army before
Sebastopol earned his claim to distinction
about ten years since, in Africa, by suffocat-
ing some three hundred men, women and
children of one of the Arab tribes in cave
the Pantheon Popu'uire, Of Paris, gives the
following account of the affair
Tho cave had only two entrances, one
above the other, to which an inclo.ed foot
path led. A company of grenadiers received
orders to follow this difficult route and to
arrive as soon as possible at the retreat of
the Kaybcs but the latter had the advan-
tage of firing with a certainty Of killing the
men engaged in this species Of rayino. 1t
wa, found necessary to abandon the attack
in front.
An Internal idea, borrowed, unfortunate
ly, either from our civil wars or from the
wars of tho Spanards in America, had been
indicated as an extreme measure by the Gov
ernor- General 1t was TO terriv the Kahvles
by threatening to suffocate them in their
caves by fire. It was thought that in pres
ence Of such a menace all resistance would
cease After succeeding, though not with
out good deal of difficulty, in placing him
SELF in communication with the defenders Of
the cavern, Colonel Pelisser threw out the
threat suggested by Marshall Budgeaud.-
! The Arabs laughed at it, and one of the
French flags of truce was killed by them.
a commencement of tho project was
made, in the idea that their Indifference only
arose from the certainty which they enter
tanned that the threat would not he put in
execution. Heaps Of dry wood and straw
were thrown from the tops of the kantara
in front of the caves. The Kalbyes removed
them according as they were flung down, but
the fire Of the French having driven them
them back into the caves, these combustibles
after n while made a vast heap, to which it
now only remained to apply the FIRE No
signs of surrender on the part of tho Arabs
having been made. fire WAS ct length thrown
on the pile. As if it did not wish to associ-
ate itself with the horrors of the human
hutchery, it long refused to communicate
itself to the combustble masses piled by the
French at the entrance Of the caverns.
"A few Arabs escaped, and went to a
short distance TO obtain water. 1t wa.
expected that others would follow them, and
that the whole body would then submit -
This was vain hope. Just as the sur
began to quit its zenith breeze arose, which
blew directly in the direction of the entranc,
to the Dhar. The smoke began to whir
and curl in the air. the flames burst forth
and were drawn by the current into thu

fled by some secret issue, or at least tina
they had found a retreat where the fire coulc

The Present sultan of Turkey.

We copy from the Introductory chapter Of
the History of Turkey by Lamartine, the
following account of the personal appearance
Of tho present Sultan.
The Sultan Abdul Mediid is a young man
from twcnty-six to tw.ntv-seven years old. Of
an appearance rather more mature than his
oge. His figure is tall. elegant and slim -
lie boars his head with that cracefulness at
once supple and noble, which the length Of
mock gives to the bust Of Alexander in his
early youth. The features are regular, the
forehead high, the eyes blue, the eyebrows
arched a- in the Caucasian race. the nose
straight, the lips well cut and parted the
chin, that foundation Of character in the
human countenance. is firm and well set the
aggregate leaves nm impression rather attrac-
tive than imposing you feel n man who
wishes to be loved rather than to be feared ;
he has the timidity of modesy in hi4 general
air, melancholy on his lips, and a prccocious
lassitude in the attitude YOU perceive that
this young man has thought md suffered
before his time. But the feature that pre-
dominates is grave and mcditativc sensihilitv
You say to your self Thus man carries
something weighty and holy in his thoughts,
like tho interests of people, and he feels
tho weight and ,anctitv Of the burden
Nothing Of youth. nothing Of levity in the
expression. 1t is the statue Of Young
pontiff. rather than young sovereign The
countenance inspires a certain Tenderness Of
heart. You are haunted with the thoughts,
despite OF yourself, that here is man sacri-

DopoISo A CANNON BAtt.-One Of the
English newspaper correspondent, in the
Crimea says
Yesterday | was on the French side,
apparently out Of range. when large ball
swept by me to the left, and bounded over
mound of stones on which had been stand
ing When it jumped over the mound there
were about twenty soldiers sitting on it, but
they saw it coming, for it ricochetted no less
than five times, and the little clouds of dust
which it knocked up showed us its progress.
Every one, therefore, on tho mound ha1 time
to dodge it, but when 1t fell the last time
1t continued rolling on for about quarter of
a mile.
Soon after it commenced rolling it went
through a string Of men who were coming
from the trenches. and who had their backs
towards the ball as il approached them. |
thought several would have been knocked
over like nnepins, and ran towards them
/ but not one was touched. Some one who got
r off the mound shouted, and either that or the
noise Of the ball itself attracted their atten-
! ton. and, running in various directions they
made a passage for it, and, with all manner
Of comic .alutations, let the Russian messen-
ger go on its course, without attempting TO
interrupt it. Perhaps nothing is more curl
Gus in this war of gunnery than the vast dis
proportion in the number of misses as COM
pared with the number Of hits, more espe
oIally now that the men have become so COO

The Grave OF Ethan Allen,
tProm the Lewiston (Me.) journal ]


To-day have paid visit to the grave Of
Ethan Allen, in Burlington, Vt. The
cemetery in which his remains lie is nearly n
mile from the lake, but the situation is
beautiful. The inclosure is shaded by large
number of cvergreens, and ornamented in
that tasteful and impressive manner with
which mourning friends love to decorate the
resting places of those who have gone before
them. The words over the gateway disclose
the trustful spirit with which the Christian
has entered the confines of eternity.
tho resurrection and tho life, saith the Lord"
As stood over the grave Of Allen, could
but wonder at the narrow space which con-
fined spirit, once so uneasy, bravo and
unconquerablc. Yes here mouldered the
remains of him who, in the gloomy morning
of our revolutionary struggle, collected from
the country around few choice spirits and
hastened to Ticonderoga to summon the
British commander, " in the name of Jehovah
and the Continental Congress-" to Surrender.
When liberty found such defenders, victory
was certain.
