nvasion. The enemy having advantage in the concentration of his army, the superiority of numbers, and the choice of positions to attack, must be met at the most important points by the heaviest artillery of large armies and the best concerted movements. We cannot defend every point and pass of our extensive border; for, by making such divisions for resistance to overwhelming numbers, we have already caused defeat and been forced by the heavy columns of the enemy to retreat. The secret of Napoleon a success was found in a well trained and concentrated army. I must say that the President's late message meets with much favor with our soldiers; but we cannot see why the old volunteer system, which has brought our powerful army into the field, must be abolished. I am certain that men, from principle, fight better than from force. The volunteer system consults the interest of men who can best leave home; conscription has no regard for this fact, but places all upon an equality, oft

What is the spirit of the South? The London Times, in one of the most intelligent articles which, has yet appeared on American articles, sate forth the impossibility of conquering the South, If the South is really in earnth. Everything, in its view, depends upon the simple point, in the South in earnest? It refer to the vast extent of Southern territory and the courage of its defender, and says the North is imitating the folly of Napoleon in his Russian campaign and of George the Third in the American Revolution. The same cause which referred the British monarch, says the Times, will defeat the North, but all depends upon whether the South is in earnest. There never was more truth expressed in the earns number of words. Certainly, if we are not in earnest, we have become a most degenerate race since the days of 76. The men of those days were terribly in earnest, and yet we doubt whether they had the same personal animosity to their British enemies, and we know they had

zed, they allow the enemy to go where he pleases, and do as he things proper. We know not whence this system is derived, but we suspect from Jomim. He tells us that, in the campaign of 1805, after the capture of the first Austrian army at Vem, Napoleon ought to have set himself down in Bavaria, and cast up entrenchments. In commenting on this passage at St. Helena Napoleon says "yes; that the Austrians and Russians might unite; that Prussia might declare war; that all Germany might rise, and rst Austrian army at Vem, Napoleon ought to have set himself down in Bavaria, and cast up entrenchments. In commenting on this passage at St. Helena Napoleon says "yes; that the Austrians and Russians might unite; that Prussia might declare war; that all Germany might rise, and come down upon him in a body." That was the very thing we did after Manassas. We sat down entrenched, and waited for the Yankees to raise an army of 700,000 men, and now they are coming down upon us with a vengeance.
The Daily Dispatch: April 4, 1862., [Electronic resource], Before Hughes as Napoleon's preference for the Papacy (search)
Before Hughes as Napoleon's preference for the Papacy --From the paris correspondence of the London Herald, we extract the following: Of all the projects said to the agitating the Imperial brain, that of nominating Archbishop Hughes to be the successor of his spiritual advisor, is the newest, and to some the most astonishing while to others it is only a Further proof of the resource and penetration of the Third Napoleon. The project has not been widely circulated as one fully decided by the Emperor. But is in sufficiently talked of in some circles to be worthy or attention, however, under all the reserves which must be made in respect to the on dits of Paris. The different interview which the Irish American prelate has had with Iris Imperial Majesty, would, in themselves, have been sufficient to give rise to an extraordinary amount of gossip; but when it is generally understood that he was asked several times to lunch at the Tulleries and positively blessed the Prince Im
