SUNSHINE IN THOUGHT By CHARLBs GODFREY LIZ
LAND. nmo. PIP, l97 Charles 7. Evans
An earnest protest against the whining, lackadai-
sica longfaced gentry who aspire after the admira-
ton of the pensivs pubic by affecting Byronio senti
mentality, and disgust with life and the world in
general, is bravsly set forth by Mr.. Leland in this
characteristics volume. II shows wide extent Of
reading in strange, out-of-the-wsy paths Of hters-
TUE, love of quaint and fsncifal illustration and
genial frankness Of expression, although not re-
strained by an over-scrupulOus adherence 10 the
usual canons Of rhetorical art. The author cloquenty
insists on dwelling on the bright side OF human
affairs, turns insinctvely 10 the elements OF cheer
fulness and joy in the experience Of life dsnounees
the indulgence Of lachrymOse downheartedness as
weakness If not q crime, and feels the most in
tense and cordial disgust for the man "who can
travel from Dan 10 Beersheba, and exclaim that
all is barren" He would exercise the world Of au'
thorshp Of the foul spirit Of discomfort, cause it to
ring with the merry tones Of hope and joyousnsss,
and color its productions with the purple light Of
love. His aim maybe briefly described as the intro
dsction Of the new faith Of muscular Christianity"
into the realms of literature.

cry and a snare from the beginning but
we owe it to the candor of the rebels that it
is now better understood. They have al
ways declared they will never consent to re-
union but at no time with greater empha-
sis than since the election successes of the
opponents of the Administration. They
hailed those successes simply as the harbin-
gers of the acknowledgment of their indie
pendence. Not public journal, nor pub
.lic man in the Confederacy gave them any
other construction Not one of them, so
far as is known here, with whatever ante.
cedents, has ventured to admit either the
desrableness or the possibility of taking new
guarantees tor slavery, and coming back in
to the Union. They have all Unanimously
secuted it-and not only in the most posi-
tive, but in the most contelnptuous manner.
They no longer know the word compro-
mise, and it is high time it was dropped out
of our own political vocabulary. Even if
We were abject enough to entertain the
question, Var or Compromise the chance is
denied us. Our only choice is between war
and disruption. Our political contests from
this time on to the end must be fought on
that ground only. The South, precisely be-
cause it made slavery its Spreme considera-
ton, sacrificed the Union. Those in the
North, who also make slavery the first con-
Sideration, consistently join in the same par
icidal work. 1t has had to come to that
There is no middle ground.
Here, then, is the real issue. Al true
pubic men should mark it, and stand un-
linchingly up to it. There should be no
dissensions among them, no invidious re.
erences to the past. Agreeing upon th,
vital matter of sustaining the war, and with
it the present anti slavery war policy. as now
the sole means of saving the unity of the
nation, they should be united as one man
and hold firm to the end against traitors and
the abettors of traitors They will triumph

Perhaps these worthy opponents of the
blessings of Secession rule would like to try
the pleasures of a life in Dixie themselves ::
but, before they do, let us commend to them
the following picture of its beauties in Ten
nessee, from the Nashville Union of last
week:
"The doughty Forrest in his recent visit
to Franklin, the county of Williamson, had
a lively time i'll enforcing the ConscriptiOn
Law. On arriving there with his cavalry,
he selected spot, placed guard around it,
and ordered all the male citizens in the
town to repair thither without a moments
delay. The order was promulgated by dirty
rutfians, who galloped up and down the
streets with menacing sabres. The citizens
obeyed, and hurried to the rendezvous indi-
Gated with great trepdation, not knowing
what dreadful event was about to happen.
Pell-mell they rushed along, singly and in
squads, nntil they arrived at the place,
where the terrible ogre Forrest, the "raw-
head and bloody bones" Of guerrilla war
fare. vas standing with his brigands. lie
ordered all who were within the limits ofthe
Conscription I.aw-except those who owned
twenty negroes-to come along with him
as soldiers i'll the Confederate army, and
threatened TO blow every traitor to the devil
who hesitated one moment. One Of the
unfortunate gentlemen thus summarilv mus
tered into service, the Clerk of the Court,
nancy Robinson, approached Forrest and
| asked to be allowed to make some necessary
arrangements for this unexpected }campai On.
Forrest replied by drawing his pistol and
clubbing it, beat the poor fellow several
times over the head, gaShing it frightfully
after this exhibition Of chivalry, the crowd
walked off after Forrest as meekly as the
negro gangs which he used to lead to auc.
