cago Times is pretty good, especially when
its copperhead source is considered.
The representative pugilist of the Uuited
States. John G. Heenan, always struck from
| the left shoulder. The Representatives. of the
military genius of the same country has
also constantly employed a movement by
the left hand instead Of one by the right
England event to grass twenty con-
secutive times before Heenans left, and was
not whipped after all; the confederacy, under
Grants left, ''has kissed the rod almost as
many times and is not yet completely con-
quered. These facts speak volumes, not on
| ly Of the value OF these left movements, but
also of the astonishing endurance of England
and the confederacy.
The contemplation Of Grants long con
tinued and innumerabe movements by the
left is of great interest 1t shows how a
thing may be always left, and yet just as
increasingly right. 1t further shows the as
tonishing fact that the more Grant was left
the further he was in advance and the
equally puzzling circumstance that there is
just as much left ahead as a left behind.
Grants left has become famous 1t is a new
term in strategy and a new equivalent in
war, whose symbol is success. 1t is great
thing, this left In the beginning the rebels
wanted to be left alone, and Grant has left
them alone severely" He has left them
without a confederacy or capital; they have
no money left, no credit left no niggers left,
nothing left, in fact, save the privilege of
inscribing upon their strongholds, "left for
parts unknown" .sl.
