RInckMood,s Magazine.

The October number of this excellent
monthly is on our table, The most in
teresting article in it to American readers,
IS that in regard to Sir Banastre Tarleton,
AN unvarnished sketch of the most bril-
liant and, we must add, ruthless cavalry
soldier, who fought for the King liz the
Revolutionary War In order to show
that the barbarities of warfare have not
been lessened in the nineteenth century,
the writer quotes the words of the French
statesman and historian Theirs, who said
mo passage of military anguish reveals
more pitiless excuses than Generals But
Ter, Turchin, Mcneil, Milroy, Hunter,
Payne, Sheridan, and Sherman, perpe-
trated upon the Federal side" Black
wood continues: "On the other side, the
the Colnte de Paris, in his two recently
published volumes upon La Guerre Civile
en- Amerique, filings many hard accusa-
tions at the COnfederates, and is eSpeci-
ally severe upon General Forrest. This
yeritable captain of military bandits. says
the royal historical, "personihed the most
brutal passions, unredeemed by a single
brilliant quality. Under the guise of a
General, Forrest was nothing else than an
old slave merchant, who never ceased to
dishonor the cause for which he fought, by
welding his sword as though he were still
plying the bloody scourge employed by
traffickers in human flesh Inasmuch as
General Forrest was, to say the least, no.
toriousiy brave, and enjoyed the reputa-
ton of having thirty horses KILLED under
him during the war, it is to be hoped that
the writer of these unmeasured words Will
never come within reach OF a man whom
all his friends admit, like Hamlet, to be
'splentive and rash Be this as it may,

CONFUSION which 80 nearly rent the
