BATTLE OF BULL RUN,
BY
CEN. JOHN a. LOGAN.
70 BEGIN APRIL 4.

Gen. John A. Logan, as is well known, took
part in the first battle Of Bull Run as a
citizen, fighting in citizens clothes, in the
ranks Of Michigan regiment.
He has written sketch Of the battle which
for yiyidness OF description and historical
accuracy surpasses By far any account of
that IA nous engagement ever written. 1t is
awenderful bit of picture-writing, and will
be welcomed by all of our readers, not only
on the distinguished authors account, but
because Of its own unusual merits. 1t will
begin in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for April
/, and probably run through four numbers

THE WIDOWS, PENSION BILL.

The bill to increase the pensions of wild,
ows and dependent relatives is now law.
All those who are benefited by it are
specially notified not to pay cent to any
body on account of securing the increase for
them.
They need not even write letter to any
one on the subject, as the increase will be
paid them by the Pension Agent, when they
receive their next quarterly instalment,
without any action at all on their part. The
work for them is all done by the Pension
Bureau, and this work will mainly consist
in paying them $50 piece each quarter
where they have heretofore been receiving
$24. Again let us say to all this class of
pensioners; Do not pay a cent to any one,
under any pretext, On account of the in
crease.

A MATTER OF PERCENTAGE.

Col. Theodore Lyman, of Massachusetts, is
being quoted by the Boston Herald and ether
anti-soldier papers in opposition to pensions.
He is represented to have said:
In France there is paid in pensions about % per
cent. Of the national income, in England less than
80 per cent, and in Germany a small fraction
4per cent, while in the United States 90 per cent.
and over of the total income is spent for pensions
OF this II per cent Is for regular pensions and the
remainder for arrears. The percentage for regular
pensions is thus to exceed the combined pay
ments of the three great warmaling Nations Of the
old world.
Col. Lyman-if he is correctly reported,
which we are reluctant to believes as dis
ingenious as the gentlemen who are using
the taxation bugbear to brighten people from
granting pensions. lie only states fraction
of the truth, and studiously conceals the most
important facts.
For example, when he says that England
only pays out 81 per cent of the national in
come for pensions, he gives no hint that,
taking everything into consideration, 81 per
cent. is a larger proportion than the IL per
cent. of the United States. The army and
and navy Of England together does not
average over 1 per cent. of the popula-
ton of the country, whereas our army
and navy averaged during the war nearly
10 per cent. Of the population, or more
than six times as great as that of England
Furthermore, we fought more battles during
our war, and lost more men killed and
wounded on the field than England has
fought and lost since the days of William
the Conqueror. This is weighty fact that
has, it seems, not struck Col Lyman with
the force it should. We invite his attention
to it,
We also call his attention to the fact that
as the United States did more fighting in
four years than France, England and Ger
many have since the Napoleonic era, it is to
be expected that our pension expenditures
shall be greater than the combined amounts
of the three Nations named.
Perhaps after Col. Lyman ponders over
these facts until he understands them, he
will curb his bad practice of rushing into
print with interviews on percentages,
propositions" etc.

Now has begun the most important time
for the soldier of the whole session of Con-
gress. That body is settling down to real
work, and whatever it will DO is now being
outlined and determined upon.
No soldier or friend of soldiers should be
without THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE now, all

ceasing vigilance everything that is sug-
gested or done for the soldier, and keeping
him correctly informed from week to week

him. No other paper does this, or can do it
so well as THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.

WAR PICTURES.

Gen. ". T. Clark, formerly Chief of Gen. Nc.
Pherson'S staff and AdIt-Gen. of the Army OF
the Tennessee, has connected himself with an
enterprise conducted by Mat Morgan, the noted
artist, which has FOR an object the painting of
number of large and finely-executed pictures
of battles i'll the war of the rebellion. So far
10 are under way, and will be completed in
September. These are exact representations of
the battles of Belmont, DonelSOn, Shiloh, Cor
NTH. the siege and surrender of FickSburg,
Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, At
lanta, SpOttsylvania, The Wilderness and
AppOmattox. The paintings will be exhibited
in every city of the United States, with aC-
companying historic lectures of explanation
The actual fields OF battle with all the tactical
and strategic situations are faithfully portrayed
from the official reports and eyewitness of
each engagement. Their size will be about
35X5O, so that they will be substantially the
same as the great cyclOramas of Gettysburg
Shiloh, Manassas, etc, now attracting much
attention in various cities, but Will be of higher
character as works of art.
Gen. Clark makes this request of those who
participated IN the battles mentioned IL is
important, in this enterprise, in order to give
the representations character of personal in
tereSt 20 our surviving comrades, and those who
fOndly cherish the memories of fallen heroes,
that there should be as many rs possible OF the
faces and forms of the gallant soldiers engaged
III the several conflicts who can be readily
recognized. Accordingly, the artist has made
this a feature in all these scenes, and have
the honor now to request all my old comrades
to send to me, at Mat Norgan's Art Rooms Gin
cinnati, o., their photograph, and stating the
regiment to which they belonged. or the posi-
ton in which they served in any of the battles
herein mentioned, that their portraits may ap-
pear in the painting.
4 photograph taken at date of enlistment or
appointment, or resignation or discharge, would
be preferred. because we want you to look as
you did in the days that tried mens souls.
The photograph will be returned as soon as
transferred to the canvas. The pictures are
especially designed to interest veterans, and ala
members of the Grand Army of the Republic.

MIR. TONNNSHESD'S POSITION

There has been a general call for the re-
publication Of the striking remarks made by
Hon. Il. W. Townshend, Of Illinois, during
the debate in the House on Thursday, Jan.
q. Ever since he has been in Congress Mr..
Townshend has been distinguished by his
intelligent, capable and jealous advocacy of
the interests of soldiers, and no one man has
done more for them. Here are the remarks :
Mr.. Townshend / desire to offer what send to
the desk a substitute for the amendment of the
gentleman from Ohio

And that if any invalid pensioner pensoned for

REAL PRAISE.
crease,

The Literary WOrld is very careful and
discriminating in its Judgment of literary
work, and therefore the following high
praise of Mrs. Sherwood's book, which ap-
pears in the issue of Feb. 6, is more than
ordinarily valuable:
Mrs. Kate Brownlee Sherwood's Campfire Poems
have martial sweep of rhythm and the glow of
true patriotism, and are tempered with fraternal
feeling that leaves room for sectional hate.
Their emotional fervor and simplicity of diction
gives them power that loses little with the lapse
of time.

A GREAT sensation has been caused in
the literary world during the past week by
the distinct charge by New York paper
that Gen. John A. Logan is the author of
Uncle Daniels Story which appeared in
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE last year, and is
now published in book form by A. Il. Hart
& Co., New York. The New York Star
publishes II columns of ex-
tracts from the book, with key to the
characters in it, It's object is to create a
prejudice against Gen. Logan Oh account of
"its revival of the bitterness of the war"
The other papers have taken the matter up,
and the dispute over it threatens to obscure
the interest in TIM Pan-Electric investiga-
ton and the struggN between the President
and the Senate.

THE newspaper world will feel keen
sense of loss in the retirement from business
of S. M. Pettengill, of Boston, who, for more
than 81 years, has stood in the very front
rank of the advertising agents of the coun-
try. No one has had higher reputation for
business ability, fairness and integrity and
reliability, and none had more real friends.
He transfers his business to J. III. Bates, of
New York, who for many years has stood
side by side with him in the estimation of
the newspaper fraternity. The consolidation
will take place on the LIST of April. Mr.
Pettengill has made excellent choice of a
successor. There is no man in the country
to whom his numerous friends and patrons
will be more willing to transfer their allegi-
ance than to Mr.. Bates.
