The Daily Dispatch: March 28, 1865., [Electronic resource], article 6 (search)
gro school, we cannot say. It is probable enough, however. It is exactly such a piece of small malice as a Yankee would be guilty of. It would be exceedingly base, and, therefore, we think it probable it has been done. It would be of a piece with all they have ever done wherever they had the opportunity.--They desecrate everything they cannot steal and carry off in their pockets. What church, what chapel, what building, devoted in any shape to the worship of-God, have they failed to treat after the same fashion? The fruits of John Brown's exploits are to be seen all around us. It was he that first lit up the torch of this war, which is consuming the country, and has already cost the lives of half a million of men, the flower of the youth of the country. Nobody but a Yankee would think him worthy of canonization on this score, at least. Saints, we should suppose, were hardly made of such materials, and have not been since the days of Cromwell and the Commonwealth in England.

The progress of Great Britain since she emerged from the middle period exposed her to the taunt of Napoleon that she was a nation of shop-keepers; but she was, and is, equally a nation of mechanics; and it was the wealth which trade and manufactures produced that proved too strong in the end for even the genius of Napoleon. It has been said, and we dare say with truth, that Arkw

All military men abhor anarchy, and, by consequence, adore order. In the most turbulent and tumultuous revolution, as soon as a military man obtains the ascendancy, he brings order out of chaos. This has been exemplified hundreds of times in the history of the world. The old and often cited examples, CÆsar in Rome, Cromwell in England, Napoleon in France, are cases directly in point. The military man's profession necessarily renders him prone to enforce order. Without it, he cannot beat the enemy. Without it, he cannot keep his army together. Without it, he is pretty sure to be defeated himself. He is taught this from the moment he enters the military school or the army. The love of order is forced upon him, whether he be prone to it by nature or not. The enforcement of it becomes a habit, and habit is second nature, stronger than nature itself.
