The Daily Dispatch: October 10, 1861., [Electronic resource], Defensive campaigns. (search)
In the campaign of Waterloo, before the battle, and during it, he acted on the defensive; but it was only because he could not act otherwise. His force, and that of Blucher, were the advanced guard of one million of men. --They could not move on France until the main body came into line. They were placed near the enemy's frontier, to repel him if he should make an outbreak before they came up. He did make an outbreak, and he was repelled. Nothing could have been more vigorous than the offensirontier, to repel him if he should make an outbreak before they came up. He did make an outbreak, and he was repelled. Nothing could have been more vigorous than the offensive operations which immediately followed. The most extraordinary defensive campaign ever made — according to the Duke of Wellington — was that of France by Napoleon, in 1814; and during that campaign, which lasted only a few weeks, at least a dozen pitched battles, and three or four times as many combats, were fough

oods and the bottom, to refuse clearance, and unless she should be taken in the act of attempting to pass the blockading squadron--of which there could be no evidence here — there can be no remedy. Other like cases will be treated in the same way. The French steam sloop-of-war Le Voissier, Commander Brunette, left for Ship Island on the 19th inst., with dispatches for the French Consul at New Orleans — not proposing to enter the river — taking a good coast and river pilot, a born citizen of France, who was sworn in on the 18th by the French Consul General and put on the petty official list of the ship. It is Tumored since sailing that Commander Brunette expected to pass the Delta squadron without observation, deliver his letter at the fort on Ship Island, and return. That will be attempted, and, if accomplished, the facts will be used to the prejudice of the United States. All that could be done if the Consul General was at his post has been energetically attended to by his tempora<

Singular suicide. --At seven o'clock yesterday, the corpse of Louis Aron, who had been missing all night, was found in an out-house attached to the Second District Draining Machine, in which he was employed. The deceased was a native of France, 53 years of age. About eighteen months ago he lost his son, his only relative, and in whom the old man's affections were completely wrapped up. From that time forth he used to tell his friends, with solemn earnestness, that he would die in October, 1861. Some of them supposed him insans, although he was sensible enough on all other subjects. As the present month approached he became more and more dejected and morose, and perhaps determined that he would assist the decree of destiny with his own hands. It is supposed that he went out into the out-house about 12 o'clock, and just as the last stroke of midnight announced the inauguration of his fatal month, he severed the thread of life. He had loaded one barrel of a shot-gun with ball,
