GENERAL BoURBAKI's ANIMAL AND APPBARANCx.
A II TO add to the popular fermentation OF the
day. General BourbaN arrived In Tours during the
afternoon. The news Of his presence spread all over
the place rapidly, anu fresh crowds ran out to en-.
deavor 70 obtain glimpse even Of the man who Is
regarded by the nation rs one Of the very best
officers In the French army. The General appeared
dressed In q semi military uniform covered with
dust and travel stained He 10 rugged and tough In
his physique, and certainly did not evnce any
symptoms OF having suffered great nardships in
Metz. He 10 near fifty years OF age, but
looked younger than that by at least ten
years. General Bourbaki, says the writer, as
you know-and may have specially published
In the HERALD-entered the ranks OF the French
zouaves at very early age, and distinguished him
self NJ Zaatcna where he led the African turcos TO
the assault having cigar in his mouth and
wooden "cudgep' or big stick in his hand. In the
Crimea he had charge Of the French field telegraph.
At inRernan he was the rst to come 10 the assist
ance Of the British troops with his z0uaves and at
the capture OF the Malakon ne was sevarely
wounded distinguishing trait in the character Of
Bourbak is his frank bearing and the 0utspoken
manner In which he expresses his opinion ON all
subjects in which It Ia required to the very highest
authorities. It'll currently reported In Tours that
the General asked Immediately on his arrival, to be
commissioned TO organize an army which would
operate specially for the relief OF Metz.

TIE LATE MAJOR GENERAL
THOMAS.

The following has been addressed to
the widow of the late Major General
Thomas:
SAN FRANCIsco, CAL, March 81, 1870.
Mrs. George ii. Thomas = Dear
Madam /: At an informal meeting of
the officers of the Army and Navy,
stationed in this city and harbor, Gen
cral Robert Allen, Chief uartermaster
of the Division, and Commodore Mid
dleton of the Navy, were appointed a
committee to address you q letter ex-
pressing the feelings of the meeting at
the dire calamity which has so sud-
denly overtaken you.
In proceeding to perform the deli
cate task devOlving upon us, we are
not unmindful, that 1t is your ex-
pressed wish that, the Sanctity Of your
grief should not be invaded, by out
ward show, or eulogies spoken or
written, but our feelings accord with
those whom VIC represent, when they
instruct lis to say, that they desire a
spontaneous expression of affection for
the deceased, which coming from the
heart of each, will not fail to harmon
ize with your great sorrow.
1t is the fortune of many to be feared
and respected, the fortune of few to be
revered and loved. Our friend be-
longed to the few and was conscious
of 1t, for how could he help it with the
evidence constantly around him; and
this was the kind of regard he most
highly priced. While yet we write
the telegraph Is flashing dispatches to
every corner of the Republic, III letters
of fire, proclaiming that Gen. Thomas
is dead, and showing how nightly the
heart Of the Nation Is stirred. Aye, 1t
is true, that the few are loved, and
fewer still are loved as was the illus
trious dead. The God of Battles spared
him that the full development of his
civic virtues might complete tho per-
lection of his character.
We are aware, dear Madam, that the
glorious career Of your husband docs
add poignancy to your bereavement,
nor can words assuage grief; but suf-
fer us to minglc our tears with yours.
Signed by the Committee.
