Toulon (Illinois, United States) (search for this): article 5
Pikes and Lances. Alison, the historian of the great French wars, tells us that in all the charges made, in all the battles between the French and English, from 1793 to 1815, from Toulon to Waterloo inclusive, the bayonets never crossed but on one occasion, viz., at the combat of Fuentes d'onoro, in the Peninsula. One side or the other, he says, invariably gives way before the weapons come in contact. A report of the British Adjutant General was published a few years ago, from which we learn that the British army, 50,000 strong, fired at the battle of Vittoria 1,600,000 musket and rifle shot. They had a large body of cavalry, and 150 pieces of artillery. The cavalry, the artillery, and the bayonet, were all in active requisition. The whole number of French killed, wounded, and prisoners, fell short of 8,000. These are significant facts, in connection with the pike. They show that there is not half the danger from musket firing that raw soldiers are apt to imagine.

led, wounded, and prisoners, fell short of 8,000. These are significant facts, in connection with the pike. They show that there is not half the danger from musket firing that raw soldiers are apt to imagine. They show, also, that it is in the power of pikemen, brave and well disciplined, to break the ranks of the infantry nine times out of ten, by a resolute charge from a proper distance, and that they will suffer comparatively very little from the shot of the infantry in making it. Cromwell's men used to cut the pike in half when they mounted a parapet or stormed a breach, and they were never known to fail. The lance is nothing more than the pike used by horsemen. It is one the most formidable weapons in the world, when thus used, and is superior to all others in breaking squares of infantry. We wonder, in Virginia, where there are so many fine horses, and where everybody is a good rider, it has not been brought into general use. It would render great service, we have n
