Sherman (search for this): article 1
s has made every fragment of them a sacred and precious thing.--That spirit still survives, and will create a new Thermopylaeæ at every spot where Freedom unfurls its flag and bids defiance to the oppressor. Sumter will live in history and in song, and so, indeed, will a thousand other battle-grounds where the lofty courage and inextinguishable endurance of this great people have wrestled with a gigantic foe. Not Greece, it its noblest exhibitions of heroism and fortitude, surpassed this glorious Southern people. General Sherman might well say that there is no disgrace in being overcome by such odds as have been brought to bear against the feeble means of resistance in his front. Nor could that resistance have been overcome, if the little army which faced his overwhelming numbers had been always guided by a skill equal to its valor. The world will proclaim that the rank and file of the South have, with rare exceptions, done their duty, and found themselves the Romans of the age.
Sebastopol (Pennsylvania, United States) (search for this): article 1
somersets they have executed, we have no opportunity of ascertaining. The hot-bed of the rebellion in their hands, the original nest of vipers crushed, the impregnable Sumter fallen! All these, in staring capitals, we had seen in the mind's eye before they appeared in Federal journals, and are by this time accustomed to the contemplation. We can therefore endure with philosophy the extravagant jubilations of the Northern newspapers. Nor are we without sources of consolation and pride. Sebastopol became immortal by holding out eleven months against the combined powers of England and France. Charleston held out four years, and fell, at last, not by the superior strength of the enemy, but because our own military blunders permitted him to make strategic combinations which rendered the evacuation of Charleston inevitable. The defenders of Charleston have lost all but honor. Sumter, in its grim ruins, is a monument of Southern valor and endurance, which may well challenge the ad

If he reprobated the aggressions of France upon other States, and was ready to draw his sword in defence of his own country against similar wrongs, no one was more sensible of the debt of gratitude which America owed to France for her powerful aid in the Revolution, and not Jefferson himself was less influenced by English prepossessions.--Lord Brougham, in his eloquent eulogium of the character of Washington, says: "Towards England, whom he had only known as a tyrant, he never, even in the worst times of French turbulence at home, and injury to foreign States, would unbend from the attitude of distrust and defiance into which the conduct of her sovereign and his Parliament, not unsupported by her people, had forced him, and in which the war had left him.--Nor was

Her Blessed Majesty, the Queen, states in her speech at the opening of the British Parliament, February 8th, that she "remains steadfastly neutral between the contending parties. " This is, of course, the highest, as it is the latest, exposition of British policy. It is not alone the Queen personally that speaks, but the Government, of which she is the mere mouthpiece. We needed not this new assurance of" steadfast neutrality," nor do we see any motive for its "steadfast" reiteration but profound solicitude to avoid the penalty for her "steadfast" influence in promoting and in keeping alive the war on this continent, which it is possible Great Britain may be called upon one day to pay. Among the many evidences of profound sagacity which Washington, the greatest man that ever lived, gave to the world, was his thorough and abiding distrust of the British Government.

ted by her people, had forced him, and in which the war had left him.--Nor was there ever, among all the complacent self-delusions with which the fond ancients of national vanity are apt to intoxicate us, one more utterly fantastical than the notion wherewith the politicians of George III.'s school were wont to flatter themselves and beguile their followers, that simply because the Great American would not yield either to the bravadoes of the Republican envoy, or to the fierce democracy of Jefferson, he had, therefore, become weary of republics, and a friend to monarchy and to England. In truth, his devotion to liberty, and his intimate persuasion that it can only be enjoyed under the Republican scheme, constantly gained strength to the end of his truly glorious life; and his steady resolution to hold the balance even between contending extremes at home, as well as to repel any advance from abroad incompatible with perfect independence, was not more dictated by the natural justice of

uck, perseverance and physical resources, there is no deficiency on this continent. There have been exhibited in this war, on both sides, military qualities which Europe has never surpassed; and, above all, there is between the two continents an ocean so wide that neither can invade the other with any probability of inflicting serious injury. In the event of a war upon the Monroe Doctrine, the European Powers would be under the necessity of crossing the ocean to maintain their claims. Louis Napoleon discovered in the Crimean war the immense difficulties of transportation at such a distance, and frankly admitted the fact. The combined Powers scarcely made an indentation upon the rough bark of the Russian oak, and would have been still less successful if Russia had possessed naval power and enterprise to harass the fleets of her two enemies. It is only in the success of the Confederate cause that the possessions of foreign Powers on this continent can be made secure. We are fig
