The members of the Tennessee Legisla-
ture who grow FESTIVE and uncork their
wrath upon the press of Nashville when
they feel aggrieved at the criticisms made
upon their course, may learn something by
reading the first amended article of the Con-
stitution of the United States guaranteeing
freedom of the press, and section 10th of the
bill of rights prefxed 10 the Constitution of
Tennessee, which latter is in the following
words: That the printing presses shall be
free to every person who undertakes to ex-
anime the proceedings Of the Legislature, or
of any branch or officer Of Government; and
no law shall ever be made 10 restrain the
right thereof The free communication of
thoughts and opinions, is one of the inval-
liable rights of man, and every citizen may
freely speak, write and print on any subject,
being responsible for the abuse of that lib
erty. But in prosecutions for the publica-
ton Of papers investigating the official
conduct Of officers or men in public capacity,
the truth thereof may be given in evidence
and in all indictments for hbels, the jury
shall have right to determine the law and
the facts under the direction of the court,
as in other criminal cases"

STONEWALL JACKSON: A Military Biogra
ply. with Portrait and Maps. By JoHY Es
TEN Cooke, formerly of General Stuarts STAFF
New York: ID. Appleton q Company, AS ant
40 broadway. 1856. ,. ,. 40.
This is the last published, of several BIZ
ographies Of Gen. T. j. Jackson which have
been issued since the close of the war, either
as original on reprints. Less than fifty
pages are devoted to an early history of the
subject including his education at West
Point, and his participation in the Mexican
war. The remainder is given to rapid,
succinct, clear and exciting narrative of the
scenes in which Gen. Jackson was the prin-
cipal actor-and which filled the world with
his fame. Mr.. Cooke il smooth in his
style and forcible in diction, and throws
sufficient Of the dramatic over his subject to
make his work not only interesting, but en-
thusiastic and exciting. He has set down
no fictions in this book-and altogether, we
regard it as the most authentic and enter
tanning than has yet been given to the pub
lie concerning the most remarkable of all
the men Of his time.
THE ORIGIN OF THE LATE WAR: Traced
from the beginning Of the Constitution 10 the
Revolt Of the Southern States BY GEORGE
List New York: ID. Appleton 4 Company.
1866, p. ?. 49l.
To the philosophic student of the causes
which led to the amazing and terrible scenes
in American history, of the five years just
past, Nh. Lunt has performed a service which
cannot but be both acceptable and useful.
With great care, discrimination and ability,
he has collected large store of facts, which
have heretofore existed in wide range of
documents and authorities, wholly inaccessi-
bic to the large body of the people, but in
dispensable to full and clear comprehen-
sion of the subject His own discussions
and reflections arising upon the facts of the
history, are clear and forcible, rise above
the sphere Of the mere partisan, and pro-
coed upon che plane Of craftsmanship in
search of the permanent principles of gov
eminent which are at the same time so diff
cult to apply, and so deeply important to
mankind. Whilst we could hardly concur
in all his conclusions upon all the subjects
which he incidentally treats, we hive no
hesitation in saying that Mr.. Lunt has
produced a very able and very valuable
work. 1t ought to be also a most popular
work for at this time the entire body of a
self-governing people, circumstance as we
are, should have a truthful knowledge of
the steps which have led us to this condi-
ton, as afiording the best basis for our
future action.
