France (France) (search for this): article 2
me, the largest of the two frigates kept sailing round us the whole action, and raking us fore and aft, by which means she killed or wounded almost every man on the quarter and gun decks." This large frigate, which distributed her favors with such handsome equality between the two combatants, was none other than the Alliance, commanded by the worthy Frenchman, Captain Landais, whose object seems to have been, by allowing the two vessels, in their close encounter, so to disable each other that, keeping the Alliance uninjured, in the event of the Richard's striking her colors, Captain Landais might make prizes of both ships, and return to France with great glory. The "rigid neutrality" of the British Government is of a piece with the naval tactics of Captain Landais. First it assists one belligerent, then the other; pours a broadside into the Confederates, and then rakes the Federal; the object being the same: to disable both, and to build up its own fortunes on their common ruin.
United States (United States) (search for this): article 3
In the eloquent speeches at the great meeting at the African Church, the distinguished gentlemen present spoke with emphasis of the wonderful revival of patriotic spirit which had followed the humiliating demands of the Federal Government at Fortress Monroe. Evidences of this change are multiplying every day. Men who had begun to talk in no under-tone of reconstruction now frankly acknowledge their folly. If the President of the United States really desired the consolidation of the Confederacy, and the indefinite prolongation of the war, he could not have adopted more effectual means than his answer to the peace commission. It looks as if he was raised up for no other purpose than to render impossible the restoration of the Union.

Robert E. Lee (search for this): article 4
s, the army is, after all, a very good school for Confederate boys. They can learn there what will be more useful to them hereafter, and to mankind, than all they can acquire at the best classical schools. There is no teacher of grammar in England who can convey to them, for example, the meaning of a verb — to be, to do, to suffer,--as they will learn it in the Confederate army. If they want Greek, they will find a living Greece in the Thermopylæ of the Confederacy; or Latin, there is Robert E. Lee, the best Roman of the day, at the head of the Southside University, with a good many thousand promising boys under his charge, who do the Latin exercises in a style that the world has never seen since the days of Cæsar. At any rate, the parents of these returning youths should not expect from them the discretion and self-command of the grown-up Confederate men, who, having remained in their country, and given her the benefit of their counsel and advice till her affairs became unfor

cumstances, their parents ought not to punish them with too much severity, nor send them back to England by the next packet. Youth is the season of rash, generous and disinterested impulses. A boy always has his head full of fighting and fair play, and it is more than you can expect of juvenile human nature to keep its eyes on a book and be amusing itself with dead languages when it sees its own house set on fire and the red blood of its own brothers and sisters staining the threshold. Sidney Smith once declared that boys ought to be put under a barrel and kept there from fourteen to twenty-one, as the only mode of keeping them out of mischief. We certainly cannot expect boys to act like men. Besides, the army is, after all, a very good school for Confederate boys. They can learn there what will be more useful to them hereafter, and to mankind, than all they can acquire at the best classical schools.

I maun cross the main, my dear, For I maun cross the main." The boys having gone to England against their will, and the men of their own free choice, it is obvious that no such obligation could exist to remain abroad in the first case as in the last. --Besides, all that the boys could pick up in England would be intellectual cultivation, whereas their seniors have the solid advantage of saving their bacon and solacing their inner man with better cheer than is to be found at Eton and Harrow. The spectacle of these exiled patriots discussing huge surloins of beef and quaffing vast goblets of ale, while their countrymen are hungering and bleeding at home, must satisfy the world that the South is not altogether that race of impulsive and hot-headed abstractionists which it is often represented. We dare say that these well-fed exiles have their trials too — just the trials which maddened the more sensitive youngsters and drove them back to their country. --No doubt the sturdy Bri

Remarkable detection of a murderer — his likeness photographed from the dead Victim's eye. Scientific circles in Europe are just now much interested in a remarkable murder and detection of the murderer in Florence, Italy: The Florence correspondent of the Morning Post reports the details of most remarkable photographic experiments on the eye of a murdered person. It appears that, on the 13th of April, 2d of June and 22d of August, last year, three murders were committed in Florence, in almost precisely similar circumstances, the victims in each case being lodging-house keepers. In each case the "corpse was discovered lying on the floor, with the throat cut from ear to ear, a pool of blood below her head, but only there — no marks of blood in any other parts of the room — and a pocket-handkerchief, the property of some one unknown, close to her person. The trinkets and money which she was supposed to have about her had disappeared, as well as other articles in the house. <

he whole thing is a mere freak of nature, to which no importance whatever should be attached. I am happy to say that Signor Marabotti, with whom, from his official position, the prosecution of these inquiries rests, has evidently brought to his task a spirit worthy, in all respects, of a countryman of Galilee. The photographs, with all the accompanying and illustrative details, have been transmitted not only to the medical college of Florence, but also to the medical colleges of Naples and Milan; and, by the authority of the Perfect of Florence, Count Cantelli; a series of photographic experiments will be instituted on the eyes of the patients in the hospital immediately after their decease. The same correspondent, writing at a later date, says: As the phenomenon revealed by the enlarged photographic view of Alinari in the eye of the murdered woman, Emilia Spagnoli, if worthy of being examined at all, ought to be investigated thoroughly. I have made it the object of a se
