No tharo ol it belongs to rno. Mach hits rocently baon said ol military combinatioos and organizing victory. I hear such phrases with apprehension. Tbev commencvd in infidel ÏYanci; with the Italian campaign, and rosulted in Watorloo. Who can organizo victory ? Who can combine tho elerncnU of succoss on tho battlefield ? We owe our reeont viotories to te Spirit of the Lord, that moved our ■ildfero to rush into battle, ,and fil!od tho hearts of our eneiny with terror ar,d dismav. The inspiration (hat conquorcd in buttle was in tho hearts ot tho 8oldiors and fiom on high; and berever thore is the same inspiratiun there will bo the samo results. Patrtotic spirit, with resolute courage in effiuera and man, is a military combination that oever failod. i.-J VVo rnay well rejoico at tho reeent victories, tor they teaeh ns that battled oro to be 'won now and by us in the same and only manner that thcy ero ever won by any peoplu. or in aay ae, 8Ínce the days of Joshua, by boldly purauing and striking the fee.
