The Daily Dispatch: February 25, 1862., [Electronic resource], Death of an aged Negress. (search)
Americans were more humans, generous, civilized, as well as purer, than other men; but all such narrow and bigoted conceits have been driven out of us by this war. There was a time when we thought that the interests of American civilization would be endangered by contact with the effete systems of Europe. We now think there is no such thing as American civilization. There was a time, in extreme youth, when we supposed the people of the United States capable of self-government, but the delusion vanished with the lapse of years, and the election of Lincoln gave it is quietus. We are, there fore in no way grieved to behold the chivalric ensign of France, the war-worn banner of noble Spain, and the matter flag of England, heralding the march of Monterey in Mexico. Republicanism in that country (and elsewhere) has risen like an exhalation of the Right, and is disappearing like for before the Monarchy is white with the frost of ages, but as vigorous now as in its athletic youth.

make out an entirely accurate statement, for the losses of the enemy in none of the battiest have been ascertained.--Several engagements have never received any notice at the hands of the Northern Government or press, it being their policy to conceal as much as possible, their disasters and to magnify their victories. From the best date at our command, we have summed up the aggregates of killed, wounded, and prisoners on both sides, and they stand thus; Confederate loss, 22,557; Federal loss, 23,200; and in this estimate, we include on our side, the 800 men taken by Lyon at St. Louis. They were State troops, and were in the suburbs of the city undergoing military instruction. They had not assumed a position of hostility, to Lincoln, nor had they been tendered to the Southern Confederacy to aid its cause. This estimate, though it may not be accurate, we have not a doubt, shows the truth, viz: that the enemy has lost more men in the battles of the present war than we have.

The celebration of the twenty-second on February in Washington — no illumination — the death of old Abe's son Casts a Gloom over things. The death of President Lincoln's son "Willieͅ seems to have materially interfered with the manner in which the 22d of February was to have been celebrated at the Federal Capital. We copy on the Presidential mansion, and all who were personally acquainted with the family of the President share in the deep tried occasioned by the death of little Willie Lincoln. He was a boy of such promise that all who became acquainted with him had predicted for him a career of no ordinary character. Young as he was, he impressed every, one who came in contact with him as a youth who was destined to become a man of rank. The body of Willie Lincoln was embalmed to-day by Drs. Brown and Alexander, assisted by Dr. Wood, in the presence of the attending physicians, Doctors Stone and Hall, Senator Brownig and Isaac Newton. The method of Sagnet, of Paris,
