sketch Of the Turkish Commander.
The special correspondent of the
Frankfort Gazette, who at the present
time is imprisoned with the Turkish
army at Plevna, gives q sketch Of the
commander Of the beleaguered force.
0sman Psshs, he says, is between forty.
four and forty.seven years ofsge, neither
tall nor short Of stature, with broad
shoulders, straight muscular legs, and
altogether an athletic build. His head,
the correspondent adds, is superb"
His features are regular, and betoken
earnestness and quiet decision. His
uniform usually consists of ajAcket, with
broad facings Of dark cloth, a long waist
coat Of the Louis XIV. style, and tight
fitting trousers. ove which knee boots
are drawn. In dress, therefore, he pre-
sents a striking contrast to the other
Turkish generals, as there is nothing
loose about his costume. In camp be
never wears a sword, but has invariably
a pair Of 6eld.glasses slung over his
shoulder. He also always carries a pen
ell, which projects, not irem behind bis
ear, but from underneath his fez.
0sman Pashs is, the correspondent
concludes, a Turk among Turks;
has no special love for the Europeans in
Turkey; and cannot endure the sight of
a correspondent, unless the latter goes
under fire and sketches. "0sman Pasha
certainly is not a fanatic, the writer
adds, but he is pious. | have never
seen him perform his orison 10 the ortho-
dox Mahommedan fashion, but / know
that be prays." He speaks but little,
never entering into conversation with
any one. His officers watch his move
nents, receive a brief order and execute
it, or answer a short question, and retire
again into the background. A taeiturn
MN, be has an immense power of work;
is always occupied and sleeps but little
Energetic, with an iron will, self reliant,
never asking for advice, he is neverthe.
less extremely modest, undertaking
both himself aud his achievements. He
never writes dispatches; bis reports TO
ConstAntinople consisting Of a few
words, in which the result Of his opera
is laconically related; the details
to the past, and he busies himself
only with the present circumstances.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

PARIS, December l2.-The Dix Neu.
vieme Steele speaks of the possibility Of
President MacMahOn's impeachment.
A clerical organ, the Defence, says the
senate's refusal to sanction a dissolution
would release President MseMahon from
his promises, and leave him free to re-
tire. The Defense, however, hopes that
the president will not be eager to seize
such opportunity, and thinks that his
devotion to his couRtry will suggest to
him loftier and frmer resolutions.

0sman Pasha surrendered, altogether,

A SAD AcCIDENT.-James Hull, of
this place, met with an accident on Fri
day evening last at the depot, from the
effects of which he died in about an
hour. The deceased was holding on to
the guard railing at the end Of the car,
and when the train started walked
or rode toward the west and of the
platform, the train gaining sufficient
momentum to throw him under the
wheels Both legs were cut off and
his body cut and bruised in various
places. He was at once carried to
suitable place, and physician
summoned, who pronounced his case
entirely hopeless. Like many others
he had his faults, but his more init
mate friends tell us that he was a
whole-souled young man. Deceased
was about thirty years of age
