Old Soldiers.

Colonel FoRSo, who was lately killed by an
explosion on the Jackson, Mississippi, rail-
road, had served in the Mexican war, had long
occupied the semi-military position of Chief
of Police of New Orleans, had been more than
once severely wounded in rencontres with
Iawless characters, and in the late war, after
several like misfortunes, was left for dead on
the battlefield of Manassas, in the second
fight of that famous plain. His obituary
was actually published in several papers, and
most of his friends did not know for months
afterwards that he had recovered and was in
the field again. Colonel FoRSo had reached
his sixty-eighth year'at the time of his death,
and his remarkable preservation of physical
yigor brings to mind the interesting incidents
in the career of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, the hero
of the conquest of Scinde who was left terri
bly, wounded on the field of Corunna in 1909,
was reported as Dead and his name struck
from the army list, his vacancy filled, and his
estate administered upon. Forty years after
wards, Sir CHARLES NAPIER, then septu-
agenarian, was the chief of the British
army in India, in the most active, successful,
and glorious campaign. The New Orleans
Picdyu,ae, in recalling the resemblance,
remarks that so numerous and striking
are the examples of the prolonged. life and
yigor of men who have endured severe wounds
in battle, they almost justify the conclusion
that such calamities are compensated by
increased physical vigor and powers of endu-
rance.
Whatever may be the merits of this theory,
we are inclined to think that such cases as
those of NAPIER and FoRSo are exceptional
and that the constitutions of most old men
would have sunk under half the hardships
and injuries that they suffered Some men are
younger at sixty than others at forty, and
those two hardy old gentlemen were old in
nothing but years. The military life is one
which requires an amountef physical enGa-
rance and elasticity of spirit rarely to be found
among the old, From eighteen to twenty-five
is the best fighting age So far as regards eff
cheney in the direction of military affairs,
there is no room for disputation. The great
battles Of the world have been won by young
men. ALEXANDER, CESAR, NAPOLEON, and
hundreds of other prominent names, furnish
the proofs. NAPOLEON was only twenty six
when he commanded the Army of Italy and
achieved his most imperishable laurels. The
old generals Of the Continent were out-ma-
noeuvred and whipped by this stripping as
often as he met them. 1t was only when he
had became older, and encountered soldiers
Ike WELLISGToN-who with his subordinates,
were more nearly the age Of the Emperor and
his Marshals-that his star began to wane.

WEDNESDAY, .......FEBRuARY IA. 1866


The immense flourish of trumpets with
which Mr.. BAScRoFr's Grafton in memory of
Mr. LINCOLN was heralded, had led us to ex-
pect something more than a congressional
speech. We confess that we have been disap-
pointed, Notwithstanding that Mr.. FoRSRy
pronounces 1t TO be a mastery production -
We defy any man to point out in 1t one single
new or striking remark concerning any of the
topics discussed, or even an unusually felici-
tous expression of an old idea. He sets ont
with the declaration that " God rules In the
affairs Of men''--a thought which Is much bet
ter expressed by one Of the prophets, and also
by Dr. WATTS. He next descyibes, in good style,
the growth and extent Of our Republic. Then
he utters few platitudes in regard to slavery,
aristocracy, &C., and quotes from some OF
our earlier Statesmen the remarks which
Mr. SUMNER has so often incorporated into
his speeches. Next, Mr.. BANCROFT gives
the history Of slavery in its connection with
governmental questions, stopping by the
way to initiate THAD. STEVENS In kicking
that dead lion, Chief Justice TAYEY, to
whose celebrated decision, and the conse-
quences resulting from 1t, Mr. BANCROFT
ascribes the rebellion. The rebellion brings
him to Mr.. LINCOLN, whose character and
policy Mr.. BANCROFT portrays In an unobjec-
tionable manner. This policy affecting Great
Britain, Mr.. BANCROFT stops to discuss her
connection with the rebellion, and repeats the
stale story that she aided the South; and
manages also to run parallel between Lord
PALxERsToS and Mr.. LINCOLN. Mr.. BAN
CROFT also discusses the MONROE doctrine and
the French Emperor Mexican policy, declar-
ing that the Republic of Mexico must
be revived. In fact, he lugs in China, Russia,
and the Pope Of Rome, and charges that the
Pope ''alone, among temporal sovereigns,
recognized the chief of the Confederate
estates as President, and his supporters as
"a people," Mr.. BANCROFT winds up with
a most unfortunate allusion to GEORGE WASH
INGToN and WILLIAM OF ORASGE-the one
having for eight years of his life stood branded
as "rebel,'' and the other having been called
to England, by the almost unanimous voice Of
her people, to drive from power the dynasty
which had, twenty eight years before, put an
end to the "Great Rebellion" In that country.
One sound doctrine is enunciated by Mr..
BANCROFT, namely, that the right of suffrage
should be regulated by the States themselves.
The Grafton is clothed in unexceptionable
English there are few or no violations of
good taste in it, either in respect of words or
the manner of treating his topics and it is on
the whole much better one than any Of the
gentlemen previously chosen to perform the
duty would have been likely to deliver. But
we find nothing instructive in it from one end
to the other.

Napoleon and the Workingmen.

The New York Tribune takes the occasion of
the speech of the Emperor Of the French 10
read pretty sharp lecture TO that petty func-
tionary. NAPOLEON tells the French working
men that they shall have meetings and discuss
" their industrial and commercial interests -
"outside Of politics" Whereupon the TTf-
bane is indignant and exclaims, "Who autho:
rized him to decide that their political tnte-
rests are not also worthy of discussion"i To
which, on behalf of NAPOLEON, who is absent
and cannot answer for himself, we would
reply, the {" workingmen" themselves. When
they elected LOUIS NAPOLEON their sovereign,
theygave him all their political business TO
transact, and showed their good sense in so
doing. They wisely consideredi it a favor to
be governed by some one who knew better how
to govern than themselves. The French have
become smart enough to discover their own
ignorance, which is a great point gained in the
progress Of improvement. The French public
looks TO one trade for clothes, to another for
furniture, 10 another for medicine, to another
for philosophy, to another for government.
Louis NAPOLEON keeps the shop where this
last commodity is furnished and the article
thus far is found to be of better quality and
furnished at more moderate prices than was
peddled ont by the Iribune's revolutionary
colleagues of ls4s. Frenchmen have wisely
concluded that 1t is not the whole Of life to be
political, nor the whole of death TO lose a
vote. What better could they, or the mass of
any people, " discuss than their industrial
and commercial interests y? These secured,
the political may be left to the dogs. All
men are not capable of governing themselves !;
very few are, but most men are capable of
appreciating the rewards of industry, and
when these are ample, there is no danger, in
France mt any rate, of revolutions.
