ICOMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDITOR: We see from your last
issue two tickets presented for our mu-
nicpal government. We do not know
upon what principal either claim our
suffrage. But we the tax payers of
said city do not desire and are unwilling
to support any ticket that taxes as a
greater amount for salaries than we paid
before the war. We are poor, our
property has vastly deprecated in value
and there is no just reason whatever
that the salaries Of our municipal officers
should be increased, except it be to
keep pace with the wastcful prodigalitv
and extravaganza set by the Legisla-
ture and Executive authorities Of The
State We have learned that the pres
ent munich pal authorities have increased
their salaries enormousy Y, drawn as
much as 100 pr cent at one, leap, without
any knowledge whatever or the consent
of the tax payers, their constituents
If this is so we wish retrenchment and
reform at once before this breach gets
any wider. And we are willing TO sup
port any ticket of good men having the
interest of our little city in view, who
can afford to serve us for the salaries
we paid before the war and none others.
We trust such ticket will be in the
field.
If it takes almost the entire direct
taxes to meet the salaries, we submit
would it not be better to repeal the act
making Marietta city, at once, and
thereby secure to the city the amount
now unnecessarily paid for salaries with
out adequate service to the improvement
of the streets and alleys of said city,
about the only duty or service legiti-
mately belonging to a city of Marletta's
size any way.
As to the city of Marietta being taxed
to raise money to pay interest on Bonds
and for the ultimate redemption Of the
Bonds themselves for stupendous Rail
road purposes, is certainly Of very ques-
tionable propriety any way. Ought not
this matter 10 be County question, if
at ALL and not to the little city alone, al
ready overburdened with taxes in addi-
ton to her County aud State tax. In
what market is it probable that in either
event such bonds, if the people willed it,
would bring anything at all, when the
amount of State Bonds, for State aid /
to be thrown upon the markets
evidently would be much better, and as
all suppose will have to be used at great
Iy deprecated discount rates.

to battle when one of the most frusly
corps commanders was dissgtis6eG.-
The next morning, when, had expect
ed TO commence tie decisive battle of
the campaign, found the enemy's posi-
ton vacant.
Twenty years ago, when lieutenant
of artillery, | passed on horseback
through Altoona Gap, / knew the place
and it's advantages for defencer and,esl
surely thought johnson woul$ make a
stand there. | was. mot little surpris-
ed that he did not, and we had no choice
bu. to push on, for we would be satisfied
only with victory. Below Altoona we
met Johnston at New Hope Church
that "hell-hole," rightly named. The
trees there yet bear the marks of that
conflict, torn and sundered as if by
lightning. The hardest fighting # the
mpaign was during the few day. We
confronted Johnston at that point
There was no clear ground; It was all
all dense thicket, and none of US will
soon forget the fearful boom and crack
of those bloody days. We pressed on
and at length reached the railroad
Then the heavy rains came on, and the
roads were well nigh impossible, the
wagon trains were left behind, and at
length, with the soldiers almost stripped
and so dirty that ono could scarce tell
what color they were, we arrived at
Kennesaw. The war became more in
teresting. We all remember that as
sault and deplore tho loss, but such is
war.
But one day saw in the early morn
ing, with my telescope, the blue coats
clam bering up the side of the mountain
Eagerly | watched them, and at length
saw man creep to the summit, peep
over for an instant, an then wave his
hand to his comrades, as if saying,
"Come on, boysw could almost hear
his voice, although was four miles
away, and knew. the enemy had gone.
The General went on to narrate the
pressing of the rebel army across the
Chattahoochee, on the banks of which
they spent the Fourth of July. The
rebels supposed he.would stop there, but
he did not-he was bound to go. He
detailed briefly the crossing or the Chat
tahoocheo the flank movement ofScho-
field to Stone mountain; the battle of
Peach Tree Creek which Hooker would
always remember; the closing in of the
lines around the eated city of Atlanta
the fierce attacks of Hood, whose army
was hurried back, with frightful slaught-
or; the grand flank movement, after
five weeks siege below Atlanta, result
ing in its evacuation, and gave sum
ming mp of the result of the campaign,
which was, in fact, continuous battle
for 1l9 days.

development of their resources by the
lack of means of transportation, hence,

tent of their capacity, their orchards

to be derived therefrom, while the min

sHERMANs CAMPAIGN IN NORTH
ERIN GEoRGIA-HIS PLANS AGAINST

We extract as follows from the
speech of General w. 7. Sherman al
the recent anniversary gathering of the
army of the Cumberland at Cleveland,
Ohio, as published in the Herald of that
place !:
81 well remember that morning in
May, when over the telegraph was flash
ed to me the order for the army to move.
We advanced in three armies, bearing
directly down upon Joe Jonston, at Dal-
ton. We all remember when we first
saw upon those hills the first blue putls
of smoke from the rifles of the skirmish-
ers, followed by the boom of the cannon,
which told that tie battle had begun
From that time till the last gun of the
campaign was fired; one hundred and
nineteen days, it was one unceasing bat
tie. Not only was the crack Of the rifle
our revcille, but the sound Of the cannon
in the distance soothed us to sleep at
night, and when The sound was hushed
we awoke from sleep. So long as the
firing OF the picketS told US that they
were awake we were secure, but when
all was quiet We felt disturbed and anx-
ious. wish had time, and it were APP
propriate for me, to follow in detail the
of those armies throughout
the whole of that devious campaign,
over mountains, across streams. and
through those dense woods and thickets.

1t was my hope and desire TO crush

not, that a brave and we'll appointed
army was moving to the right upon far

ofthe guns of Mcpherson, who had NOV

on Resaca. When the wei

Joe Johnston was my victim. but my
plan was not entirely successful. Then
all the armies passed down through

PROCEEDINGS in THE U S. SENATE.


PROCEEDINGS IN THE U S. SENATE.
Quite an animated discussion occur
red in the Senate on the .l3th on. the
resolution of McCreery of Kentucky Ito
restore to The Lee family the Airing
ton property. McCreery eulogized the
character Of Lee as that of hero, a
christian and a gentleman. The Senate
was almost unanimous on the other hand,
in denouncing Lee as traitor and in
refusing to consider the resolution
Morton summed up the general senti-
mcnt as follows:
ale protested against considera-
ton of the resolution. He had heard
what he never expected to hear--a en-
logv upon the character of General Lee
in the Senate of the United States, and
that, too, within sight of the graves
of the victims of his rebellion. Hamp-
den and Sydney died not for human
slavery, but for liberty. This man
General Lee was, OF all otnersi Tue SISdl
sinner. He had sinnod against light and
knowledge. His revolutionary anccs-
try, his oath of fealty as an officer of the
United States, his finished education and
high abilities, all forbade him thus to
sin, and the enormity of his crime could
not be concealed by decorating his grave
with flowers of rhetoric. In word, it
was now proposed that the Senate should
grayely consider a proposition to de-
grade the memories of the patriotic dead
of Arlington by removing their bones to
less hallowed ground in tender consider
ton of the rights Of the widow of tue
arch-Rebel of the most wicked rebellion
