GEN. TROCIsU.

The Ayn1y and Many Journal says:
As Won Moltke was hardly known to
readers out of Prussia anterior to the
splendid campaign which ended at Sa-
dOwa, the man to whose brain will be due
whatever of successful strategy shall
characterize the French arms in the COM
ing war is as yet unnamed. Gen. Louis
Jules Trochu is to-day undeniably the
best soldier of France. He is now fifty
five years of age. A graduate of the
Staff School of st. Cyr, he was made
Lieutenant in 1S40, and promoted to a
Captaincy in 1843. His first staff service
was with that fine soldier, Bugeaud, in
Algeria. Chef d'escadron and Major in
1916, and Lieutenant Colonel III 1888, his
first European service was in the Italian
campaign. At the commencement of the
Crimean war he was made Chief of the
General Staff, and by reference TO King
lakes History it will be seen that IN all
conferences with Lord Raglan, Trochu,
rather than ST. Arnaud or Canrobert, was
spokesman on the part of France.
Throughout the campaign, having been
made General of Brigade in 1854, he oc-
cupied this position of confidential staff
officer of the Commander-in- Chief, an
office analogous to that of Gneisenau under
Elucher, given in just recognition of his
military ability and skill. In 1864 he
reached his grade of General of Divis-
| ion.
Two years after he was charged with
the preparation of plan to feorganize
the army. Instead of, as has been sug-
gested, lacking the Imperial confidence,
he has it in the most 1attering degree.
His essay upon organization, LArn1ee
FrancaiSe., published in 1867, ran
through ten editions. Trochu is known
to have anticipated the event of war
| with Prussia. A recent pamphlet from
his pen, which unfortunately cannot be
obtained in this country, develops an i'm
mense deal of study of the Rhenish
frontiers as a fighting field, and palpably
indicates the national impulse as occupy
ing the strategist's mind. Should the war
survive its first battle a fortnight, and
promise, as seems very likely, to be a long
one, Trochu's name may chance to appear
at the head of the French armies.
