THE MEN OF THE TIME.

THE MEN OF THE TIME.
We condense the following sketches Of
some of the leading men in the impending
struggle, from various sources:
The Sandman Commanders
VICTOR EMMANUEL H., King of Sardinia,
which country bears almost the same relation
to the pending European war that Turkey
did to the Crimean, is one of the prominent
actors in the great drama now being enacted
on the Eastern hemisphere. The House Of
Savoy, of which he is the head, descends
from the old Counts of Sardinia.
The latest news places General LA MAHo'
RA in command of the Sardinia army, ready
to cooperate with Louis Napoleon against
Austria at moments notice. General La
Mamora is an old and tried soldier. When
the 'Crimean war broke out, and Sardinia
Joined the Western Powers against Russia,
and the Sandman contingent was raised, he
was placed in command, went to the Crimea,
and behaved in the noblest manner, making
himself famous as one of the generals OF
Europe.
The Marquis D'kzEaL1o has figured In
the quarrel very prominently. He Is the
Sandman Ambassador, and one of the oldest
families in Piedmont, and one of consider
able distinction at the present time.
The firm stand taken by Count CAvoUR,
the Sandman prime minister, to compel the
admission of the Sandman government to
representation in the proposed European
Peace Congress, and to enforce recognition
of the Importance of that Power among the
great nations of Europe, has marked him as
a prominent man in view of the impending
var, and of the part in it which is necessa-
rily assigned him. He was born in Turin,
Aug. 10, 1910, and belongs to an ancient
and wealthy family of Piedmont.
The name of JOSEPH MARY GAR1BALD ?
-he who now commands the ten thousand
Italian volunteers in defence of Sardinia as
gainst Austria, is suggestive of liberty, and
by many of his countrymen he is revered,
almost as Washington.
The Austrian Commanders.
FRANCIS JOSEPH, Emperor of Austria,
who has been so energetically preparing for
war, in spite of his youth and inexperience
and of the Napoleon with whom he has to
deal, in connection with the infuriated liber-
ais of Italy, has undoubtedly been actuated
by determined ambition. He was born
in August, 1880, and is consequently but
nearly twenty-nine years of age
Field Lieutenant General GIULAY is a
Hungarian, born in Pesth. He is sixty years
of age, yet has had but little active service.
In 1S4S, at the outbreak of the Hungarian
war, the government, having no confidence
in him on account of his Hungarian birth,
left him at Trieste, with the rank of militia.

placed the city in state of defence, as also
Pola, where the dock-yard of the Austrian
navy is situated. He thus saved to Austri'
that navy, which, however, is not powerful
now, and was far less so at that time. Thi'

plot. Since then he has been employed in

Prince Charles after his defeat at Erntdorf

BARON HENRY DE HESS, who commando
as Quartermaster General, has had, perhaps
too much service. He was born in 1873
and is consequently sevcnty-two years old
