"When we return to our houses, pretorians will seize us. We know not where to hide." "Woe to us! Who will protect us?" And thus in that silence of the night complaint after complaint was heard. The old fisherman closed his eyes and shook his white head over that human pain and fear. New silence followed; the watchman merely gave out low whistles beyond the shed.
McClellan satisfies the President After a year! The truth will be throttled Public opinion in Europe begins to abandon us The country marching to its tomb Hooker, Kearney, Heintzelman, Sigel, brave and true men Supremacy of mind over matter Stanton the last Roman Inauguration of the pretorian regime Pope accuses three generals Investigation prevented by McClellan McDowell sacrificed The country inundated with lies The demoralized army declares for McClellan The pretorians will soon finish with liberty Wilkes sent to the West Indian waters Russia Mediation Invasion of Maryland Strange story about Stanton Richmond never invested McClellan in search of the enemy Thirty miles in six days The telegrams Wadsworth Capitulation of Harper's Ferry Five days' fighting Brave Hooker wounded No results No reports from McClellan Tactics of the Maryland campaign Nobody hurt in the staff Charmed lives Wadsworth, Judge Conway, Wade, Boutwell, Andrew This most intelligent people become the laughing-stock of the world!
Cæsar wished to drown all memory of the fire in blood, and make Rome drunk with it; hence never had there been a greater promise of bloodshed. The willing people helped guards and pretorians in hunting Christians. That was no difficult labor for whole groups of them camped with the other population in the midst of the gardens, and confessed their faith openly.
Pollio was handed over to them, and they carried him away." "Pretorians?" said Marcellus. "Do you know the captain?" "Yes; it was Lucullus." "It is well," said Marcellus, and he fell into a deep fit of musing. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." It was evening in the Pretorian camp.
It happened that the mob wrested Christians from pretorians, and tore them to pieces; women were dragged to prison by the hair; children's heads were dashed against stones. Thousands of people rushed, howling, night and day through the streets. Victims were sought in ruins, in chimneys, in cellars. Before the prison bacchanalian feasts and dances were celebrated at fires, around casks of wine.
When summoning his pretorians to his presence, he made to them this declaration: "As I have been so unhappy in my unions, I am resolved to continue in future unmarried; and if I should not, I give you leave to stab me."
From outside came the voices of pretorians, who, after watching their turn out, were playing under the wall at scriptoe duodecim. "O Marcus," said Lygia, "Christ Himself called to the Father, 'Remove this bitter cup from Me'; still He drank it. Christ Himself died on the cross, and thousands are perishing for His sake. Why, then, should He spare me alone? Who am I, Marcus?
In 1831 the Poles used the bayonet more than it was used in any one campaign known in history. O, West Point! It deserves to be noticed that the conspirators against Pope and McDowell, and the pet pretorians of September 6 and 7, distinguished themselves not very much in the battle of Antietam. Hooker commanded McDowell's corps.
You hear the voices of hundreds, drunk with fury, frenzied with delight; the fierce welcome that greeted Pertinax a slave's grandson, who was emperor for a minute the joy of hate assuaged. The delight of the senate was not shared by the pretorians.
"It is because thou art feigning boundless love for Cæsar, thou who a short while since wert threatening him with pretorians, which we all understood as did he!" Tigellinus, who had not thought Petronius sufficiently daring to throw dice such as those on the table, turned pale, lost his head, and was speechless.
