The fifth volume of the Government publica-
ton /" War of the Rebellion, Official Records of
the Union and Confederate Armies" is out this
week. Every soldier should endeavor to sup
ply himself with this publication. Thou
sands Of copies are given away by members of
Congress, and none of their constituents are
SO well entitled to them rs those whose
deeds are commemorated in these volumes.
Commencing with volume l, the contents
of the volumes thus far published are as fol-
lows: Volume 1-Operations in Charleston Har-
Dor, December 90 1860, to April IA, 1861; tho
Secession Of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi,
and Operations in Florida, January to August,
1861; Secession of North Carolina Louisiana,

Utah. and, although nearly score Of years
have passed since he witnessed the stirring
scenes of that brilliant campaign, in which
he bore so prominent part, little change is
apparent in his personal appearance. He
speaks feelingly of the officers and men of
bis old command, of their steady courage in
the most trying emergencies, and of their
exalted devotion to the cause which SO many
of their comrades yielded up their lives in
maintaining.
No general officer in the Union army has a
more enviable record than Nathan Kim
ball. From Cheat Mountain to Nashville,
through four years Of active service, through
all the grades from regimental to division
commander his career was that of brave and
efficient officer. His prominent characteris-
tic was well defined by General Stanley, his
corps commander, who called him a square
fighter who didn't need watching"

1861; Operations in North Carolina and South
eastern Virginia, August, 1861, to January,
1862. Volume 5-Operations in Maryland,
Northern Virginia, and West Virginia August,
1861. to March, 1862. The account of these
operations consists of reports, letters, returns,
and official correspondence Of both Union and
confederate, printed without comment, and
arranged chronolo2ically SO as to furnish the
most perfect data for the historian. The official
reports of every skirmish, engagement or bat
tie on file in the Battle Reports Division or
confederate archives find their appropriate
places in the pages of this valuable work. 1t is
estimated that the publication will continue
through the present generation, and that few
of the participants in the war of the rebellion
will live to see it completed.
Those of our readers who are unable to pro-
cure the volumes already published can obtain
them, by addressing The NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
at the lowest rate at which they can be OBJ
tained at the Government Printing House.
Chaplain Van Horne's Life of Major General
George II. Thomas, published by Scribner's
Sons, is one of the most interesting war publ
cations that have yet appeared. BY far the
best likeness of the great soldier has been en-
gravcd on steel expressly for this work. We
shall take occasion to make an extended re-
view of this valuable contribution to the war
literature of the period.

we had commenced firing I went short dis
! tance to the left, into grove of timber, where
had fair view of the field and the line of
works around in front of the Carter house up
to the old cotton gin. | had been here but
few minutes when saw them capture part
of our light unfinished line of works and
driving our men back, was apprchensive that
all was lost and wondered where was the best
place to cross the Harpeth on the way to Nash
Vile. But had previously noticed that part
of our corps like a long blue line, was lying fat
upon the ground a short distance in the rear.
They suddenly arose to their feet, gave a cheer,
such as Union soldiers only could give, and,
without firing a shot, dashed forward on
hayonet charge, and speedily retooll the works.
Here Gen. Ceburne fell as he attempted to
cross our line, and here young Carter met his
death in the door-yard of his fathers house.
| was well acquainted with the town Of Frank
lin and its surroundings, for in the spring and
early summer of 1863 our brigade was encamp-
ed here as the extreme right of the army,

Bragg that ended at Chickamauga. | knew the
Carter family, having had, on several occasions,

family as we passed their house on our march
through the town, just before the commence
ment of the battle. The locust grove near
the Carter house mentioned by your CORES

full but was sadly dis figured by shot and shell
during the battle. 1 am inclined to believe

slightly in the rear, or, perhaps, nearly on a
line with our intrenchments, and hence the
bullets more likely came from the confederate,
rather than the Federal lines. The battle of

writers upon the war, and | think sadly

The Tariff Commission.

In another column Will be found an inter
esting article concerning to the work of the
Tariff Commission so far as it has progressed.
The facts which it contains have been OBJ
tanned from very reliable sources and en-
brace the essential points that have been
brought out in the course of the commits
sion's Investigations. It will be seen that
the prepOnderance of testimony before the
commission has been in favor of allowing
the present tariff law to remain as it is, so
far as its leading features are concerned.
The commission will not recommend any
radical changes, but will confne itself chiefly
to drafting new law which will retain all
the best features Of the old one, and at the
same time do away with the Inconsistencies
and obsolete provisions of the existing law.
AS everyone knows, the tariff law is one of
the most complicated pieces of legislation in
existence and necessarily so because it deals
in detail with nearly every article that en-
ters into manufacture and consumption. 1t
was demonstrated during the session of the
commission at Long Branch that many
clauses in the existing law have no applica-
tion whatever to any dutiable article on the
list. In some cases even the customs officers
themselves were unable to explain their
meaning or purpose, and there was nothing
in the record TO show that any cases had
ever arisen under them.
The commission has made very diligent
inquiry into the practical working of the
law, as we have stated, and is devoting its
efforts principally to the work of eliminating
from it al useless provisions. We believe
the sentiment Of the country is universally
in favor of letting the tariff alone and it
seems probable that the new law as drafted
by the commission will meet all the exigen-
cies Of the case.

THE denomination Of Judge Kelley in
Philadelphia last week was fitting compli
ment to gentleman whose long service in
Congress entities him to the distinction Of
being called the Father Of the House, and
whose great industry and ability have won
for him the honor Of being regarded as the
Father of Protection. Judge Kelley though
well advanced in years, is as hale and Wig
orous, we are glad TO say, as ne was ten years
ago, and he has lost none Of that keen insight
into the practical effect Of legislation which
has made him, above all cthers the friend

The Army of The Cumberland.

The meeting of the Society Of the Army
of the Cumberland, at Milwaukee, last week,
was one of the most pleasant reunions ever
held by the society
The hospitality of the citizens was
boundless and the feeling of fraternity
among the members, strengthening with
advancing years, was never SO manifest. To
Americans, the war of the rebellion was the
great event of the nineteenth century. The
survivors of the Union Army have good
reason to be proud of having participated in
it in even the humblest capacity and as the
trosts of each successive winter leave their
impress upon their brows, it is a natural
impulse that draws them closer together
The country, rich and prosperous, is gradu-
ally awakening to a sense of the debt of
gratitude due to the men whose courage
and determination saved it from destruction.
This feeling is not confined to the people of
the North. The question of free labor in
the cotton fields, solved by the bayonet.
which admitted of but one answer before
the war, and in the South required no
discussion, has been decided even there
against the advocates Of slavery.
The wonderful progress of the Republic
during the seventeen years that have elapsed
since the last rebel surrendered to the
Union arms is Just cause for pride to the
men whose valor gained the victory
Never before in the history of nations wns
an army of such immense strength en-,
from its citizen populace, and never ]
did an army of soldiers so easily IT
peaceful avocations. Looking back
the events of the war at even this dis
it appears like brief holiday or tro
dream, according as one may have
situated.
If it had its days of suffering, it 0a

The clothing he wore, the food he

sphere.
More than all, he missed the com liaa
ship of the women Of the household, ser
wife, sister, daughter. How dea
names became, as month after mont
by with no caresses from their ha
lips. He will never forget the Ions
camp, and the longer days in hospi
one would have bartered q year of
hour in company with the one woman he
loved.
1t is over now, and with a tear for the
boys who never got back to the old hearth
stone, let those who did, in viewing the
goodly proportions of the superstructure
which their heroic efforts saved to their chill
dren, leave record as citizens which will
fifty round up their career in the ranks.
They are scattered all over the earth. The
traveller meets them on Egyptian sands and
along the Russian steppes; in Alpine defiles
and in the salons of the gay capitals of
Europe. But by far the greater number
have resumed their old avocations, and are
among the hardest pioneers of the great and
growing West. To these THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE brings its weekly greeting, full of
news from the great world, and full to over
flowing of kind regard for the boys who wore
the blue.
