...Gordon gave a complete indication of the conduct of Gen. Fitz John Porter. When Pope advanced westward in pursuit of what he thought was the retreating enemy, he suddenly found himself confronted by Jackson's force. Pope was utterly ignorant of the fact that Longstreet had united with Jackson and now the right wing of the Confederate army. Pope's order to Porter to advance and attack the flank of the enemy, "who are now in the woods before us," was given in utter ignorance of Longstreet's position. To obey Pope's order, Porter would have been obliged, with...
...midst of their education are too much taken up by other things to give any attention to public affairs, and thus, at the very time when their attention and their interest would be of most service, both to themselves and to the nation, they acquire a distaste or an utter indifference for all matters of this nature. Nowhere is this tendency more seen than at Harvard. Here, beyond some courses in the abstract principles of public policy and or two debates in the Union on political subjects, the university affords no opportunity for activity in thought or action on public...

...young persons are a little forward; a little embarrassing it is to be alone here, especially as I have forgotten a good deal of my Arabic. Don't you think, my dear fellow, you and I could manage to give them the slip? Run away from them, eh?" He uttered a timid little chuckle, and at that moment an innumerable host of hours began a ballet d'action illustrative of a series of events in the career of the Prophet. It was obvious that my poor uncomplaining old friend was really very miserable. The "thornless loto trees" were all thorny...
...need but little comment from us. The fact is simply this: that the Spirit of the Times, has made a most unprovoked attack upon both Harvard and Yale, for reasons best known to itself. It must be evident, even to the Spirit of the Times, that it would be utter folly for Harvard to be in readiness to pull against any "inferior or country college" that wishes to issue a challenge, and how that can be construed into "putting on airs" "frequently, persistently, and with malice aforethought," it is difficult to see. However, the Spirit of the Times sees...
