The Daily Dispatch: January 30, 1864., [Electronic resource], Cost of the "Armed Peace" of Europe. (search)
men, which costs 677,000,000 francs; and Russia an army of 1,000,000 of men, which costs 529,000,000 francs. That is, out of the total budget of each of those States, an expenditure of 37 per cent, in Austria, or more than a third; 33 per cent, in France; 30 in Prussia; 39 in England; and 42 in Russia. Let us also mention Italy, where 320,000,000 francs are expended in keeping up a force of 314,000 men; Turkey, weighed down by an army of 44,000 men; Denmark and Sweden, the first with 50,000 and the second with 67,000 men, by which their budgets are increased to 37 and 40 per cent, respectively. The other secondary States follow in an analogous proportion. Switzerland is the only European State that neither increases her army nor her budget. M Legoyt, adding together the effective of all the European armies, according to estimates which he considers rather below than superior to the reality, arrives at the fearful number of 3,815,847 men, and an outlay of 3,500,000,000 francs.

The Daily Dispatch: July 27, 1864., [Electronic resource], The late peace movement. (search)
I rely on the Constitution for protection in expressing freely my views. The Government thus refuses the only possible means to peace. I cannot understand a policy that forever excludes negotiations. Not only is it the desire of the South to treat for an honorable peace, but all Europe urge it. How just and noble the position of the South to negotiate independently of a condition for independence or jurisdiction over slavery, submitting disputed points to a fair tribunal — to Switzerland, or to an international Congress or otherwise. I see only a determination of the Administration, in pursuing the present war policy, to revolutionize the North, with the entire destruction of republican liberty. Wm. Cornell Jewett. A Semi-official intimation. [Dispatch from Washington to Northern Press.] Washington, July 21. --The Administration have never had before them for their consideration any proposition from rebel authorities relating to purification, nor is
The Daily Dispatch: September 19, 1864., [Electronic resource], Jomini and his career. (search)
Napoleon, the most thoroughly military record of the career of the Emperor ever written. General Anthony Henry Jomini was born in the small village of Pavano, Switzerland, on the 6th of March, 1779, and died during the last year at the advanced age of eighty-four years. His family was of Italian origin, but had for several centuries resided in the Canton of Vand. He received such an education as the schools of Switzerland could afford, and, having an ambition for a military career, he entered at an early age the school of the Prince of Wertemburg at Montheliard. He afterwards went to Paris, where he was for a time engaged in commercial pursuits, still deached the Rhine, advised against the invasion of France. When the Allied Powers entered France, Jomini, on his urgent solicitations, was permitted to return to Switzerland, and, through the influence of Russia, aided in saving it from the intended conquest and subjugation by Austria. When the Allies again entered Paris, in 18

United States victory in Switzerland. --Henry's breech-loading rifle, presented by Mr. Winchester, of the New Haven Arms Company, has carried off the prize offered by the Swiss Federal Government for the best breech-loading fire-arms. "The Americans (says the Swiss paper) are now the first in war, and the first in peace, because they are determined to be a free people."
