THE MEN OF THE TIME.
We condenso the following sketches of
some of the leading men IN the ;mpend-
ing struggle in Europe, from various
sources:
Victor Emanuel II, King of Sardinia,
which country bears almost the samc re.
lation 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. 1.
The latest news places Gen. Mamora
in command of the Sandman army, rea-
dy to cooperate with Louis Napoleon
against Austria at a moments notice.
General Mamora is an old and tried SOL
dicr When the Criincan war broke out,
and Sardinia joined the Western powers
against Russia, and the Sandman con-
iingent was raised, he was placed in COM
mand, went to the Crimea, and behaved
in the noblest manner, making himself
famous as one of the generals Of Europe.
The Marquis D'Azeglio has figured in
the quarrel very prominently. He is the
Sandman ambassador, and one of the
oldest families in Piedmont, and one of
considerable distinction at the present
time.
The firm stand taken by Count Cavour,
the Sandman prime minister, to compel
the admission Of the Sandman Govern
ment to a representation in the proposed
European Peace Congress, and to enforce
a recognition of the Importance of that
Power among the great nations of Eu-
rope, has marked him as prominent
man in view of the impending war, and
Of the part in it which is necessarily as
signed him. He was born in Turin
August TO- 1910, and belongs to an an
Client and wealthy family of Piedmont.
The name of Joseph Mary Garibald
he who now commands the ten thou.
sand Italian volunteers in defence of Sar-
DINA against Austria--is suggestive Of
liberty, and by many of his countrymer
he is revercd, almost as Washington.
On Louis Napoleon--alternately the
Prince, the outcast, the fugitive, the
prisoner, the pamphleteer and the En-.
peror-the eyes of the world are now
fixed, as upon an arbter of the destinics
Of Europe.
Francois Certain Canrobert, Marshal
Of France, Senator, was born in the year
1909, and belongs to an honorable fani-
ly of Bretagne.
paraguay d'IIilliers, it is announced
by the Niagara, will command one of the
divisions Of the French army to co-ope-
rate with Sardinia, and is therefore Of
note in the present crisis. He was in
l949 military governor Of Rome and
commander-in-chief of the French army
in Italy, though formerly he had been a
French prisoner of war in Porichester
castle, and at time when no parole was
granted to any prisoner, whatever might
be his rank.
Count Jacques Louis Cesar Alexandra
Random, Marshal Of France, formerly
Minister and Senator--now named as the
Major General on the Piedmontese from
tier-was born at Grenoblc, Oh the 25th
of March, 1895.
Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria,
who has been so energctically preparing
for war, in spite of his youth and mex
perience and of the Napoleon with whom
he has to deal, in connection with the
Infatuated liberals Of Italy, has undoubt-
edly been actuated by determined am
bition. He was born in August, 1880,
and is consequently but in the twenty.
ninth year Of bis age. He is son Of
the Archduke Francis Joseph. His IT,
ties, besides that Of Emperor Of Austria,
arc King Of Hungary and Bohemia,
King Of Lombardy and Venice, Arch
duke of Austria, and other minor titles.
