He was a non-commissioned -officer, and du ring the lust campaign in Italy, hi 1849 be had distinguished himself in such a manner that his superior officers had n commended him. for pro motion. Austria is more generous thu Eng land towards those that shed their blood in her service, and i e would have beeu made com missioned offi -er long since iu spite of hs hum ble origin and his poverty if it had no. beeu for a fatal im pediui"nt. .This impeilimetit was his own pasMuiiute tempci ; he . was 4 very choleric man; harsh and brutal towards' his in feriors, morose and stubborn towards his su periors whenever they deemed it necessary to check or rebuke him. He Was hated by the men to the utdiosl. There was nut a private in the whole battalion that hud not vowed him revenge. He had never made one friend, nor did he care to have one. , Strict iu the per formance of his military service the most min or duties of wliich he discharged . with the ut most exactness he went his own way, reserved solitary. Innumerable were ' the punishments which he had brought upon the men; for, how ever slight the offence might be, he was sure not to pass it over "n silence. - His 6uperic r officers respected him for his tcfjjlttejtslii "3 lityjtidi li tQh(it ule .sIj iiA they did not like him . The evident luck of hntnunity in the man made him an object; of' doubt rather than of love. Moreover, there was a vague rumor about his having once struck at his own ofheer in the midst of a pell-mell' caused by a haud-lo-haud encounter with the euemy. The report never took a clear shape, the officer. hating beeii killed , iu the engage ment, and the gossippings of a few wounded soldiers having been much too incoherent and contradictory to lead. a formal investigation of the matter; b!sides it was at the victory of Novarra. Hi; had greatly; distinguislied him self, und old Feild Marshal Radesky, had, with his own hand:, affiixed the golden medal on his breast. The rumor, however, ogether with knowledge of his harsh, and violent temper, caused his uane to be erased' from the list of those that were recommended forhigber promo tion, j . .'; '; . . t j.. r," ; .; ' When this incident was made known to him, he berame ev n more sullen, more cruel;, than ever; bnt always, as it was well, understood, for the benefit of the service, the slightest demands of which he performed with the same immuta ble strictness is he enforced them to be doue by others. . . ' , A few weeks previous to the dreadful pun ishment which he had now to undergo he was mounting guaid in the outworks with some twenty or twe ity-five men of hit own ccmpaiiy. It was a chilly, rainy night; and when the sen tries were relieved they were glad to stretch themselves wet as they were upon the floor near the large stove in the middle of the guard room. The floor not being.ve'ry .clean, ( floors seldom are in 1 hese localities.) and the white iiuilortns of this men being wet, it was no won der that the d rt adhered to them with a te nacity that deied all exertipn to get it off, when the wearjrs were roused by this Serjeant to prepare for standing guard once more. The more thev tried to rub their clothes , clean the more sturdily e lent a lielpmg hand to their endeavorers b'j an application jof the sad equip ment of every jAustriau uon-cpmmiss oned offi cer the stick! Whilst he was fully at work, cutting away at the men with a powerful arm, the door opened, and the officer r on' duty en tered the guardroom. .'7'- "Attentioul ' commanded the serjeaut; and, saluting his su jerior, made the usual report that nothing v orth -remarking bad happened. The officer, a young ensign, fresh from the mili tary school, and almost a boy, took L no notice of this Important news, but asked fhe sergeant in a brisk and somewhat impetuous manner, "What he was again striking the men for?" , k The sergeant, already much auuoved at this interference, gave a surly and unwilling answer jj and, w lien the young omcer renuKeu mm, hi a severe ainl perhaps somewhat haughty manner, the violent and passionate man, losing all self control, Ijfted lip his hand against his officer. ., It was but one mUl moment quick as light ning. The uplifted band never descended; it was caught by a dozen powerful arms. He; was felled tTthe g ound andxdsarmed. Half an hour afterwards he found himself in irons in the nocomnte ft. ' " '1' . - .

But when he was informed that he had to tun tbo; gauntlet twice through his company, after hav ing been previously degraded, he trembled for the first time tn bis life." He knew of many a soldier who had run the gauntlet thrice through a; whole battalion, and not been1 the worse for( jt after all; he knew of some that bad eten' married afterwards, and brought np families of children; he was fully a ware that the issue of this terrible torture depended entirely upon the dispositions of Hie men.

An expression of 'scorn and disdain was deeply set on his face, as pale as death. When he had reached at last the left-wing of the. com pany," his lacerated back presented a : frightful appearance. Even his most exasperated enemies might well have been satisfied; now; if it had bat been possible, the commanding officer himself would have inter ceded in his behalf; but this was not even to bo tliought of; the law must have its course.

Then he ras seen staggering like a dcuuken man towards the commanding officer. His eyes, swollen with blood, beamed with an uniiatoral brightness, his respiiation was short ai)d painful; touching his head with his right band, in token of the military salute, he said in a jvoice! that came out of llis throat with a rat tling sound, but that was neverthelefs distinct ly; audible all over the place: "I have to thnnk your honor for this exquisite punishment' and ! leu down dead. . . ; I Death of Ex-Gov.
