Napoleon (search for this): article 1
es almost every nation of Europe fell under the dominion of Napoleon; but several causes, which cannot exist in our Confederacy, contributed to this result. These were the French revolutionary spirit, almost as powerful a weapon in the hands of Napoleon as his armies, and the division of Europe into many independent States, of which fact Napoleon so skillfully availed himself as to cause it to produce its legitimate fruit, the destruction of all unity or concert of action for the common defenceNapoleon so skillfully availed himself as to cause it to produce its legitimate fruit, the destruction of all unity or concert of action for the common defence. His plan was to conquer the nations in detail. When he had selected his victim, he would ally as many powers against it as possible by means of seductive promises, and by the adroit stirring up of old fends and jealousness others he would awe into neutrality. Thus, by an able prosecution of this plan, nearly all the various countries of Europe were, successively, subjected to his acquire. But such a plan could not operate among us.

Thus, by an able prosecution of this plan, nearly all the various countries of Europe were, successively, subjected to his acquire. But such a plan could not operate among us. Unity of sentiment, of institutions, and of interests, are our chief characteristics. But even the great Corsican found the end of his tother, in the vast domains of Russia, where he fought against a united and determined people. History is full of instances where attempts at conquest have failed, solely on account of the vast territory to be subjugated. Edward, the Blank Prince, and Henry the Fifth, overran France, but never subdued H, on account of its great extent of territory. And yet it is only one fourth the size of our Confederate. Our success in the establishment of our Independence of England, is mainly attributable to the number of square miles, wh

nd the seaboard; still we would be unconquered. Even if the enemy were to capture thousands of our men and arms, and almost all our artillery, still our success would be sure. Our policy would be to keep our armies in large masses, concentrated; and our militia organized everywhere in guerrilla bands would play havoc in the ranks of the foe.--The terrible effectiveness of this latter weapon can be well appreciated when we reflect upon the injury it has inflicted upon the enemy in Northern Missouri--a small territory, isolated and separated from the rest of the Confederacy. And yet, with troops in every county, martial law everywhere, and by the exercise of every cruelty and outrage, the enemy has not subdued the country. Organized bodies of troops and regular warfare are of no more avail against these bands of determined citizens than against Indians or Arabs. Thus the power and authority of the Federalists could only extend over the territory comprised within the circuit of

In fact the South is possessed of no place of vital importance; no place, whose possession by the enemy would deprive us of the power of resistance. Were the enemy to advance to Richmond; were he to capture Charleston, Wilmington, and Savannah; should he succeed in driving us out of Kentucky and Tennessee; and if he were able to execute his plan of effecting a junction of his armies from the west and the seaboard; still we would be unconquered. Even if the enemy were to capture thousands of our men and arms, and almost all our artillery, still our success would be sure. Our policy would be to keep our armies in large masses, concentrated; and our militia organized everywhere in guerrilla bands would play havoc in the ranks of the foe.--The terrible effectiveness of this latter weapon

while the valor, real, and determination of our men will undergo no diminution, the ability of the Northern armies to cope with them may be greatly increased by the careful instruction which their officers have been bestowing upon them; and a future Manassas may cost us more trouble and be a bloodier battle that the first. And in the second place the supposition, entertained by the class to which we have alluded, that the fortunes of the Confederacy are staked upon Richmond, Columbus, or Knoxville, is erroneous, and were it generally received, might be injurious in its effects, should be uncertain chances of war deprive us of any of these places. In fact the South is possessed of no place of vital importance; no place, whose possession by the enemy would deprive us of the power of resistance.

Edward, the Blank Prince, and Henry the Fifth, overran France, but never subdued H, on account of its great extent of territory. And yet it is only one fourth the size of our Confederate. Our success in the establishment of our Independence of England, is mainly attributable to the number of square miles, which we inhabited. And the same cause deprives Spain of Mexico and her colonies in South America. The arms of nations, as of individuals, only extend to a certain scope. Even in exceedingly small and feeble countries, the mode of warfare which we have been considering, has been formidable to the most powerful nations. The fact is incontrovertible that La Vendee was subjugated solely because its limited extent of territory enabled the French general to establish a strong military cordon its entire length, which, gradually advancing, finally crushed out all its enemies.

Alexander's conquests extended over all the then known world, but the great Macedonian warred on sovereigns, not on peoples, and the latter received without repugnance the change of masters. No nation ever withstood the arms of CŒear, but the Romans were far superior to all their antagonists in warlike spirit and in civilization. In modern times almost every nation of Europe fell under the dominion of Napoleon; but several causes, which cannot exist in our Confederacy, contributed to this result. These were the French revolutionary spirit, almost as powerful a weapon in the hands of Napoleon as his armies, and the division of Europe into many independent States, of which fact Napoleon so skillfully availed himself as to cause it to produce its legitimate fruit, the destruction of all unity or concert of action for the common defence.

ng meanwhile paused and shaken him by the arm, but proceeded on; leaving him in the same situation, without any manifestation of surprise. The attention of sundry gentlemen was soon after called to the circumstance, and they approached, to remove what they deemed a sleeping man. The discovery was then first made that the vital spark had fled, and that the deceased was James W. Goff. The body was removed across the street, to Messrs. Murray & Roper's, by those two gentlemen, assisted by Messrs. Mercer & Hill. Dr. Conway, who saw the body, was under the impression that death was caused by disease of the heart. The body was soon after conveyed, on a bier, to the late home of the deceased, on Broad, near the corner of 20th st. Mr. Goff was salesman and foreman for Samuel S. Cottrell & Co., and was formerly of the firm of Otey & Goff. He leaves a widow and two children. Prior to his sudden dissolution, he gave no evidence of sickness; on the contrary, he is said, yesterday morning to
