It failed not because of any integral defect in the plans or combination of its leaders, or of any want of prowess in the men who sustained it, but because of the combined action against it of England and the then United States. The actors in that expedition have been termed "filibusters." It the charge be just, it may be stated in honorable extenuation, that it is shared by many of the first military characters of our age, among whom may be mentioned Gen. Jos. E. Johnston, Gen. G. W. Smith, and Gen. Mansfield Lovel, who were all eminently associated with the expedition be organised against Cuba, under the immortal Quitman, in 1854. The defence and destruction of Granada form the most brilliant episode of the war in Nicaragua, and furnish the most splendid proof on record of the invincible prowess and terrible audacity of the American volunteer in battle, when properly led.
