The NHarshaIa Of France.

gives the following description of the French
Marshals present at the great fete on the 10th
ult:
"Of all the Marshals Canrobert seemed to have
the most friends on the Place Vondome. His ar
rival at the head of the third corps d'armee was
the SIGNAL for immense outburst of applause.
I The fact Is. CanFebert, although ne looks mon
like warrior of all the Marshals OF France, i
known to be the most humane, and some how q
other he has an old hold upon the affections b
| the people which appears to survive the ridicule
they attempt to throw on him in certain quarters
sat within FIVE feet of the nearest of the line q
Marshalls, and was not little amused at the
various modes of passing the time. Canrobeft
talked constantly in the of the Minister q
War, (Randon,) gesticulating violently and with
out cessation and one could easily imagine tha a
the subject of his conversation was Nells letter,
published that nj ght in the Independence Beige.
Random, tall, straight, active-looking man, Wit
grey hair and moustache, listened and acquiesced
as if he exactly of his interocutOrs OpiniOn q.
Next to Random sat Mashall Mcmahon Duke d
Magenta on horse as quiet as his master, neitheE
moving nor showing any disposition either to tai
or to hold any fellowship with those around thenl
Mcmahon, as seen on this occasion, is either
non-commuuicative individual else something
is wrong to-day. His appearance is not striking,
although he is unquestionably the ablest man ID
the French army. His moustache is sandy, hi
hair is the same color. and cut close he is but
little over the medium height, and Slim; his fore
appearance of a thinker. McMahoIs wsss.oFn in The
same year as the Emperor: 1903.
Baroguay d dHilliers sits next to Mcmahon. and
although he is very old man, and has but one
arm, he is the most playful man of the lot. He
takes off his chapeau and finds quantity of raj
collected in the top of it, and, to the Enl-
press and the boy, who sit above, dashes the wa
ter the officers of the Emperor's suite, all the
time keeping one eye in front of him to thai
e F,mDprOr does catch s a Ia
slim, straight old man, tho commenced his mill i
taiy career under the first Napoleon, and he ham
dies his drawn sword and bride with one hand
just as well as if he had two. Mel stands next TO
him, and appears more gay than McMahon, al
though these two set down the discontents
at the termination of the Mel is tall slim
man, with large, hollow cheeks, brown hair, and
struggling beard. He has expression of inn
mense energy in his face, and is destined, with
McMahon to take and keep the first rank in the
army. Marshal Renault de st. Jean dAngely,
Commander of the Imperial Guard is as years ole !,
| a man of middle hei ght, straight, not heavy il
person, with grey mouStache, imperial and side
whiskers, and has mild. quiet air, calculated to
mislead one to his profession. Marshall Mag
nan fussy as his enormous size and rest
less horse would permit. while the old Duke Of
Maakoff looked, thought, with eye of jeaF
ousy on a scene in which he had not beeen per-
mitted to take a part
IS Unity at the South ',-Tke Charlotte But
letin Defines its Position.
The Charlotte Bulletin of Monday last defines
its position politics and parties thus: &
Whilst are free to admit that the Whig par
ty holds in its ranks good arc true patriots an
any other party in the country, nevertheless
recognize the Democratic party the only one
capable in the existing political emergencies Of
the country, of protecting the Rights and Insti-
tutions of the South, and it is determination
to support its organization in all respects, when
its action proposes, with favorab'I prospects Of
success, this result, the object of such action
1t is we'll known and admitted on all hands,
that the Northern wing of the Wing party, ias
long since went over to the AbolitionistI ootS a
the lhstoerX lhiste s. -. In, - s.,. :;
bo1 ase ! : = - ~ - ~
our Constitutional Rights. The same histeffy
further attests the fact, that at least three fou t
of the people of the South adhere, strictly, to tie
Democratic party, whilst the other fourth is q
vided between various political sects We ae
fully satisfied that hereafter she will only be abb
| to WELD the balance of power between the cod
~ervative and fanatical elements of the parties Ii
the North, and we think it would be highly aid
surd for the Democratic party OF the South to Civ
up its name, its strength and its commanding pE
| sition at +his time, and GO to the unorgat
lied, and heterogeneous fragments known as thk
"Opposition," which has strength at thh
North, and not much at home. We therefor
think that the Opposition at the South ought ID
unite with the Southern Democracy in the form
alton of hig ghtoned dignifed, and conserva:i VI
organization with the sole view of fortifying ana
protecting the Rights and Institutions of tle
South This exposition, we hope, will satisfy aB
ed desire to learn our position.
