The Emperor Napoleon, in liis wars against a foreign

Virginia had orectcd this statue to her own son, whom
she gave to tho Revolution which govo birth to tho
Republic. . She hail selected the spot for its ^erection
wheru bur Stajo Military Academy was placed, to the
end that her sons might* draw inspiratiod from liis?
wisdom and patriotism from his virtues. 'J'ho Military

stealing of tho statue, remarks tho N. Y. ATews,waa an
act of vandalism without earthly excuse?it is a thief
that nothing can palliate?disgraceful to the age, and
doubly so to the country that will suffer such a sacrilege
to go unwhipped of justice. It will givo tho
author of the thief a namo, and it wiR, in history, associate
it with that of Washington, but like that of tho
youth who, for the sake of an, infamous immortality
fired the Ephesian Teraplo, it is such a fame thut good
men would shrink from enjoying. In tho world's history
it is without ft parallel, and our hope is that it?
