-Hawthorrip, ot tho Allanlir. Munthly, thus describes MjC'elhui, as hu appearad at a review ot' a división of the anny: " The General was dressed in a simplo, Clark bluu uniform, without epaulettos, booted to tho knee, and with a c'oth cap u pon bis hearl ; and at first sight yo'.i migbt havo taken hitn tot a Corporal of dragoons, oí parlicularly lieat and soldier-üko aspect, and in the primo of hi- ngo and streogüi. lio is ónly of middling stature, hut liis build i.-i very compact and sturdy, with bfoad shoulders, and a look of great pbysioal vigor, whioh, n fact, he is said to possess - ho and Beuuregard bavipg been livnls in ttiat particular, and both disliiiguisbod above other men. Ilis ci:nilcjxion is dark and sanguine, with dark huir.
