AN HONORABLE RECoRD.-We receiv-
ed few weeks since letter from the
Shenandoah valley, written by the Chap
lain ofthe Sd West Virgins Vol. Cavalry,
which was accidentally mislaid. The
length of time which has since elapsed
deprives it of the interestit possessed when
written, and hence we omit all except the
following extract, in reference to the mill
tary career of gallant young man, now
resident of our township. It is certain
ly record of which any soldier might
feel proud:
Lieut. w. w. Barrett, of Morrow
County, Ohio, whose parents reside near
Delaware, Ohio, enlisted as private,
Sept. 10Th, 1861, was promoted to End
Lieut.. Dec. 23d of the same year, and was
subsequently promoted to 1st Lieuten-
entcy. He has long been staff officer of
great aceeptability. The following are
but part of the engagements in which
this young officer has participated: Cross
Keys, June 8th, '62; Cedar Mountain,
Aug. 9th, '62; Second Bull Run, Aug.
May End and 23d, '63; Beverly Ford,
y AAO OLA3 OO ehAO d45O 1CApdbC0 III
engagements at Aldie. Middlebury and
Upperville during the month of June, '63;
Gettysburg, Pa, July 1st, I'd and Sd, '63;;
Boonsboro, Md, July 9Th, '63 Brady
Station, Va, Aug. 1st, SO; Morton's Ford,
Va, Oct. 11th, SO; Cave Mountain Gap,
near Wythville, Va, May 10th, 1874; Car
ter's Hill, near Winchester, Va, July
10th, '64; Fishers Hill, Sept. 22d, '64;;
battle ofNinever, near Front Royal, Nov.
18th, "a. At this latter battle he ex-
changed four shots at short range with
the rebel Lieut.. Colonel Ferguson, when
the latter surrendered. Besides these are
numerous minor engagements too tedious
to detail, yet each attended with the dan
gers of the battle field. This record will
compare favorably with that of the many
brave sons of Ohio, who have gone forth
to do battle in defence of their courtry's
flag. They have bright future. The
country will honor and God will bless
them.

Messrs A. THOMSON & Son:
Gents:-In your paper of the Both ult. you
published list Of persons who pay war tax
of five per cent. their incon1e-which is all
right and proper. Now inasmuch as you have
done that, would it not be proper and right
also, to publish a list of those who have paid
reUenue tax Tor five per cent. on sales.)
There are quite number Of manufacturers
and others in the county, who pay not only
license but per cent. on all sales, and by
publishing a list OF such, with the amounts
they pay, it would show that they also are do
ing their proportion towards sustaining the
general Government Very respectfully
yours. ---
To comply with the request of our
friend would involve considerable trouble,
as it would be necessary to give monthly
lists, the report of manufactures etc. be-
ing different for each month, and those
for the entire year would be required to
show the amount paid annually. We will
examine the returns in the Office of the
Collector, and if found practicable, will
publish monthly list. We presume it is
we'll understood that the non-appearance
of mans name on the list of income
tax payers is not to be regarded as evil
denee that he pays nothing towards sus-
tanning the Government in It's present
struggle-but it does show that those
whoes names do not appear had no in
come beyond the sum of 5000 during
the year 1863, of which fact it was
necessary to make oath. Our correspon-
dent is mistaken on one point. There is,
strictly speaking, no tax on sales. What
he referes to is doubtless the sale of man
ufactured articles.

A surprise party went down the river las:

hearing Of it, one hundred of them (cav
departed during the night TO pay them visit.
They captured twenty-one of them, and secur-
ed their turkey and pie as also their horses,
bringing away the captives ard booty and
leaving the girls to find their way home by
themselves as best they could. The captured
rebels were home on furlough and belonged
to Hoods army. They think the yankees are
bard lot of fellows. Deserters are coming
in every day, some of them are barefooted and
all are very poorly clad. The South is about
played out. and think my time will see the
close of the war. / would say to one and all
be of good cheer, the South must come to the
old flag or perish. For myself am in good
spirits, looking to the time when the war shall
end, peace return to us again, and the soldiers
return home
We are doing provost duty, and l think il
likely we will stay here this winter. We have
excellent quarters, and must say we have
very good times all have to do is read ard
write, sing and pray, stand guard, eat hard
tack and drink coffee.
