[From tho Christian Weekly.] Thc BB li ml General ot' Bohe mia. BY PROP. JOHN AV. MEARS, D. D. Zisoa, supposed by somo to mean "ono eyed," was tho nomo given to n Bohemian nobleman; John do Trocznow, because he had lost an oyo in corly life. With only ono oyo ho was among tho greatest and most successful generals of his agc; but by nud-hy, in ono of his military undertakings, he lost tho other; and cvon then ho contin ued tobo a terror to thc enemies and a sup port to tho friends of his country iu tho conflict for Christian liberty, a oontury beforo tho timo of Luther. Il uss and Jerome, thc idols of tho people of Bohemia, tho great forerunners of Luthor had been basoly burnt at thc stake. All Bohomia was in a ferment of indignation. It was nccossary for tho followers of IIuss throughout tho kingdom to toko tneasures for their owu safety. Thc king commanded thom to appear iu his presence unarmed. Zjsca came with a body of mon ? fully eqtiippod for battle! "Hero wo aro all armed, sire," said he, "according to your orders, to shod tho last drop of our blood against your enemies, if wo may but know who they are." Tho king dared not con front such boldness, and whatever hostile intentions bo bad cherished against tho Hus sites wore abandoned. After tho death of this king, io 1410, his brother Sigismund claimed tho throne of Bohemia. But it was this very Sigis mund who had broken his faith with Huso, and, oontrary to his promise, had delivered him up to bo burnod. Hence his very name was an object of loathing to tho pcoplo, and they called upon Zisca to load thom in armed resistanoo to his claims. Immense numbers flecked to Zisca's stand ards. His thorough drill, and tho intenso religious and patriotic enthusiasm of tho volunteers, soon turned them into a power ful and formidable army. They rcsombled tho famous "Ironsides," disciplined and lcd to victory by Cromwell. Nothing could stand beforo thom. Not weii sup plied with arms, they carried largo numbers of iron flails which they used with terrible effect upon their enemies, thrashing them down like oh a ff. Tho Emporor Sigismund, unable to moko anj headway against this host oppealcd to tho Popo. Martin V., in response, pro claimed a crusade against tho Bohemians, promising full pardon of sin and eternal salvation to all who should join tho crusade An army of 150,000 strong was thus gathered under Sigismund, who now marched confidently against Zisoa and tho Hussites. Tho latter under tho direction of Zisoa, had established a fortified camp on an omincnoo of immenso natural strength, which thoy called Tabor. Whilo a largo part of tho foroo was with Zisoa at Prague, thc enemy modo a vain assault upon Tabor. Although twenty times as numerous os tho Hussites, thoy wcro utterly routed and fled, leaving immenso booty, gold and silvor vessels, costly garments, arms, engines of war, and stores of ovory description. Tho pious Hussites mingled songs of thanksgiv ing with their shouts of victory, and re - turned to their camp laden with tho spoils of tho enemies of their faith. As tho omperor advanced towards Prague, ho marked hts progress by aots of oruolty. Twenty-four Hussitos woro drowned in tho .Elbe. Although fighting in tho causo of tho monasteries, ho plundered thom to pay his ti oops. On tho other hand, it is calcu lated that OVOr five huudrod monasteries woro destroyed by Zisoa and bis partisans. "Thus, botwoon friend and foo, they woro ground to powder." At last, on tho 80th of June, tho imporiai army reaohod tho vicinity of Prague. Almost ovory tribo and nation in Europe was represented in tho motley host. Thorn was a Babe) of nations and of tongues-a heterogeneous mass of plunderers and robbers. Tho empe ror laid his plans to seize a height eallod Witkow, which commanded thc approaches by river to tho city. But Zisoa was too quiok for him, and seized and thoroughly fortified tbe position. On tho 14th of July aa assault was mado by eight thous and of tito emperor's cavalry upon tho hill. Homo of tho advanced works wcro taken. Zisoa was io great personal danger. At ,,nfrttm??i'aMtr j.JimJll-JL'iiJi-jUULJ-^-'l-^J., -i'.ili.L J.Li-ILEHi-'j I ono timo ho lost his footing and fell, whoa hi* frior.ds, with thoir terrihln fla?u, rushed to tho rcsouo aod saved him from capture. Tho olly wus full of alarm. Tho voice of prayer waa heard amid tho clash of aram. A fiery' Hussito priest rushed through tho gates towards tho onotuy bearing the pooso oratod clements. Fifty bowmen and a crowd nf peasants armed with iroo flails I followed bim. A general alarm was sounded, tho oity bells rang, tho shouts of tho people echoed far boyond tho walls. It was like tho attack of Gideon and his three hundred upon tho Midianitea or of Jonathan and his armor-bearer upon the Philistines. A panic seizod tho imperial cavalry, /isca and his soldiers seized tho critical moment, rushed forth, and drove baok tho enemy from tho entrenchments, aod burlod horso aud rider down tho stoop and rooky ascent. Hundreds wcro slain ia a single hour. Tho routo was complote. It oocurred under the oyes of tho emperor, who was filled with shamo aud grief at this disap pointment of,his hopes. Tho Hussites, exulting over thoir extraordinary victory, ohanged tho namo of tho hill from Witkow to Zisoaborg. In two weeks tho dofoatod army of .tho emperor withdrow from Proguo, whilo Zis ca's soldiers had earned tho namo of "in vinoiblo." Thoy would not yield boforo tho lase,mon was slain. Zisoa followed up tho omporor's with drawal by suppressing any movomont in his favor throughout Bohemia. M can whilo tho emperor gathered a now army, and in tho fall of 1420, made a second attempt to capturo tho eapital. Bujt his forces were beaten like ob nil' by tho peasa n try armed with thoir favorito weapons, thc iroo flails. Completely routed, Sigismund once moro was compelled to retiro from tho walls of Prague. Again he rallied his army, but now tho mero sight of thc Hussito forces threw them into a panic, and instead, of a battle thero was a routo and a retreat. Sigismund himself bad to fly from tho country. Again and ogaiu tho persevering cmpo ror renewed his attempt, but each timo ho was driven back by tho indomitable Hus sitos. But in March, 1-121, their loadir, Zisoa, lost his ouly remaining eye. Ho was engaged in tho siego of Baby and had el i mbed a trco to inspect tho entrenchments pf tho enemy. While in that position his oyo was struck by an arrow from tho walls. Possibly, by tho exercise of caro and pru denoo tho sight could have been preserved. But Zisoa impatient of doloy, would not remain quiet loop: enough to tcEt tho ques tion, and so became incurably and hope lessly blind. Ho hastened back to tho army which would march under no other loader. With masterly skill ho continued to wago war, carry on sieges, and conduct retreats. Oooo, completely surrouudod by tho emperor's army, tho blind general led his forces out by night through tho enemy's camp, with scarcely striking a blow, or losing a man. Unco ho ordered his sol diers to moko a night marah upou K?nig gratz; they hesitated, aud almost broko out in rebellion. "Zisca," they said, "is blind, but wo oro not. Wo cannot fight Uko him ia tho dark." When ho thus unexpectedly escaped ?from thc toil of tho emperor, Sigismund attempted to withdraw from Bohemia. Bul tho blind general pursued him, and al Deutchbrod, Junuary 9, 1422, after a fieroc baltic, oooo more defeated tho great enemy of tho religious lilorty of Bohemia, The losses of the emperor's army on tho retreal woro almost beyond belief. Fifteen thous and oaval.y attempted tu oross tho rivci Sazauna on tho ioc; but tho weight was too great; tho iee gavo wny, and nearly all (or somo say two thousand) wcro drowned. Soven standards, live hundrcn baggage wagons, and immense booty, fell into thc hands of Zisoa and his army. Tho next year dissensions among thc Hussites themselves had reached such n point that tho gates of Prague wcro shut against Zisoa. ile lcd his anny up to thc walls and prepared to take tho city by storm. But tho soldiers who had so often fought to defend thoso walls began to heal tnto and murmur ot tho idea of assaulting them. Zisca, nothing disooncerted. took his stand upon a cask and skilfully har angued the reluctant troops. "Comrades!" ho oallcd out in bis powerful voice, "why do you murmur? I am not your enemy but your general. It is by mo that yoi havo gained so many victories-by mo tba you havo woo famo and wealth. And yet for you 1 havo lost my sight; I nm con demned to ceaseless darkness. For oil tn] labors what is my rcwardi" Nothing but i name, It is for you, then, that I hnv< conquered. Let us take Prague. Let u crush tho sedition boforo Sigismund i informed of it. Will you havo peace Tako oaro that it docs not cover som ambush Will you have war? Hero I oin.' These and similar words stilled the rebellion Preparations for tho assault went forward Tho city was alarmed into submission. Zia ca was received within tho walls with th ^reatost honors, and was recognized as it rightful ruler. Content to bo a successful goncral, Ziso had never claimed civil office But no' tho Emperor Sigismund, seeing that neithe foreign foes nor internal discords coul overthrow tho Hussito power or brin Bohemia to submit to his authority so lon ns Zisoa was in his way, began to mnk proposals to tho blind old chieftain. "Pt himself," ho said, "it was aullioicnt thnt 1 ho should mcroly be prooloimod King < Bohemia. To Zisoa should bo left tl govcramont of tho kingJom." Bcsidi theso honors, immense wealth was promise to Zisoa. This was au unspeakable humiliation Sigismund. As a lloman Catholic historic of that period says: "That u mao whom n ChrUtondom venerated and of whom heath* notions stood in awo-tho son of an omp< ror and an emperor himself-should 1 roduood to troat upon euoh terms with mon hardly noblo by birth, old, blin hcrotical, sacrilegious, with audacity f any enormity, that ho should offer him t government of tho kingdom, tho oommoi of its armies, and an immense yearly rov nuo, in order to secure hts nllianoo and ai all this was deeply disgraceful. But thc was no help for it. Papal bulls, orusadt armies of a quartor of a million of soldu had attempted again and again to crush t blind goneral in vain, and nothing was I but offers of mediation to tho unoonquorai foo. An old blind man had tho Km poi of Germany, tho representativo of tho Po of Homo, nt his foct. ! Hui Zisoa'sj days wcro near their ole Before lt could bo koowa how be regarded these proposait! he was attackod by tho plagdo aqd diod Ootober ll, 1424. The warrior fierceness of bis soul appears in his dying directions to havo l)?8 skin ni ado into a drum, tho sound of which should remind bis enemies of his torriblo prowess. But these directions wore not followed. His body was interred with honors in tho catho* dral church of Czaslau; and his iron maco, or battle axo, wan suspoudod over tho tomb. His spirit, however, still ooitaatod tho Hus &ito forces. Generals and o (li o ors traiood under Zisoa continued to load thom to victory. Again and again they routed tho groat armies which Homish bigotry had gathored against thom, and onriohod them selves With tho spoils of panic struck and flying foes. They pushod thoir conquests into surrounding* countries and carried ovorything boforo thom. Churches, mo nasteries, and towns, wero roducod to ashes, and over tho smoking ruins tho conquerers shouted, "Behold tho funeral obsequies of John HUSH!" AH Germany was alarmed, and, as armed resistance was of no avail, tho invaders wero in several instances bought od by largo sums of money. Tho final overthrow of tho Hussites was tho result of thoir own divisions which lod to open war. Exhausted by bloody confliots among themselves, they beoamo on easy prey to their onemios, thus fulfilling tho prophecy of Sigismund. ''Tho Bohemians will only bo conquered by themselves." Tho lato Dr. Gillott, in his ?Lifo and Times of John H uss," thus sums up tho character of Zisoa: "Blind though ho was, tho Tuborito goncral could not content him self with merely acting ou tho defensive. Tho loss of sight forced him lo employ tho oyc3 of others, and from their observations he formed his plans of attack and defenuo. His memory of localities was wonderful. His frequent campaigns had mndo him familiar with almost every part of Bohemia. Tho wholo region was spread out before his mind's oyo liko a map, and his measures woro taken with tho utmost wisdom and procaution. In battlo ho took his stand upon ? baggage-wagon near tho standard, and, by tho eyes of others, closely watched cadi stage of tho conflict and tho necessities of his position. Nothing escaped him. Ho discerned, as if by instinct, and by a military genius for which tho ago in which he lived could not furnish a parallel or a rival, tho strong and tho weak points of each army, and tho measures by which they might bo turned to his advantage. Many of hts most signal and successful battles wero fought after ho had bcoomo entirely blind; and novor, till tho breath loft his body, did tho torror of his ?amo ocaso to mako his foes tremble."
