William H. Seward (search for this): article 1
ies a more prominent position in the antipathies of the Confederate people than any other individual. But it is only as such that he is entitled to that distinction. Personally, he has no such claims to the abhorrence of Southern minds as William H. Seward, who, more than any other individual in the North, is responsible for the state of public sentiment which brought on the war; for the political organization of abolitionism; for the adoption of coercion, and, we doubt not, for every importastration, down to the conclusion of the peace commission at Fortress Monroe. It is unjust, and, it seems to us, impolitic, to aim the batteries of the Confederate press at Mr. Lincoln as the real President of the United States. The archenemy of our country, and of peace and liberty, is William H. Seward, who has become, virtually, the monarch of the United States, and makes all the other departments of the Government,--executive, legislative and judicial,--the mere registers of his decrees.

in deadly conflict with innumerable foes. Everybody in the United States, for that reason, and that alone, rejoiced when the war was terminated. It is hard to believe, and yet we fear it is true, that the Government of that same country looks with aversion and apprehension at the termination of a war in America, which, in its accumulated and long-continued horrors, has had few parallels in history. There seems to be really a dread among the commercial and manufacturing classes of Great Britain that the Confederacy is on the point of succumbing; not because they care a groat for the Confederacy, but for certain injurious effects that Peace may bring to their own interests. The Government of England shares, beyond question, the same ideas, and holds itself aloof from the conflict to allow both belligerents to exhaust themselves, and furnish corner-stones of the ruins for British aggrandizement. Out of the blood and agony of America, England expects to coin her fortune and revi

When England was engaged in the effort to put down the rebellion in India, she had no more hearty sympathizers with her sufferings than the people of America. This sympathy was not elicited by the justice of her cause, for no one in the United States pretended to believe that she had any lawful claim to the allegiance of a single native of India. It was simply compassion for those miseries of humanity which followed in the train of the Sepoy revolt, and admiration of the courage and constancy of a hand-full of English soldiers in deadly conflict with innumerable foes. Everybody in the United States, for that reason, and that alone, rejoiced when the war was terminated. It is hard to believe, and yet we fear it is true, that the Government of that same country looks with aversion and apprehension at the termination of a war in America, which, in its accumulated and long-continued horrors, has had few parallels in history.

Napoleon (search for this): article 3

To show what disregard of "winter quarters," in the practice of Napoleon, meant, we have only to go back to the operations which preceded the peace of Tilsit. He had previously shown, in Italy(in a climate where there can be said to be no winter) compose themselves and their armies for a six months hibernation, Napoleon left Berlin, and on the 28th his vanguard entered Warsaw, the Russians recrossing the Vistula as he advanced. The troophem — in the field — and summer brought forth the harvest which they had planted under the snows. On the 27th of July, Napoleon reaped the fruits of his indomitable energy in the peace of Tilsit. We dare say that Grant, a respectable soldier,

olitary movement, we should like to know what single move that miracle of human energy has made during this whole winter which entitles him to be looked upon as an American Napoleon. With a tremendous army at his command, with ports open for unlimited supplies of men, provisions, and all the appliances of war, with his enemy within musket shot, he has once put his head partially out of his shell, and then, having received a good thump on it, subsides into quiescence. But this is enough for Yankee-Doodle, Doo. Hurrah for the General that has broken up the old system of "Winter Quarters"! A Napoleon of the New World. We need not inform our readers that the first man; in modern warfare, who, on a grand scale, broke up this old system of winter quarters was Napoleon the Great, though Pichegru, during the campaign in Holland, is said to have been the first to set the example of disregarding the calendar. Other Generals had been in the habit of making their appearance, like the birds

the great winter battle of Preuss-Eylau, over a country glittering with snow and frozen lakes, and during a violent storm, which drove with piercing cold the snow-drifts through the air. Through that trying winter, in a region terrible for the rigor of its climate, the French were marching and fighting as if no such season as winter existed. Spring found them where winter had left them — in the field — and summer brought forth the harvest which they had planted under the snows. On the 27th of July, Napoleon reaped the fruits of his indomitable energy in the peace of Tilsit. We dare say that Grant, a respectable soldier, and familiar with military history, indulges no particular gratitude towards those flunkeys of the Northern press who, because, in this so- called winter, in a genial climate, he has made one little fight, are making a grand fuss over him as the General who knows no "winter quarters." If he knows anything else he has been very chary in communicating his knowled

were to the intense cold of northern latitudes and to the most miserable fare, were reduced to such a state of frenzy that, unable to endure the agonies of the campaign, they vehemently demanded that their General would lead them to battle or turn their march homewards. The General accepted the former demand, and having retreated with great loss, closely pursued by the French, arrived on the 6th of February at a position where he resolved to try the fortune of a general engagement. On the 7th occurred the great winter battle of Preuss-Eylau, over a country glittering with snow and frozen lakes, and during a violent storm, which drove with piercing cold the snow-drifts through the air. Through that trying winter, in a region terrible for the rigor of its climate, the French were marching and fighting as if no such season as winter existed.
