EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Some
weeks ago one Of the comrades, writing
to The National Tribune. tells of his reg
iment running from the enemy, and
claims TO he the cnly one who has ever
owned up to running.
Just after the war Gen. Fitzpatrick lee
tured in Monmouth, III. He told Of one
night he was awakened from his sleep to
find the camp full of JoEnnies. He
jumped from his bed and from the house
without taking time tc don his regimen
tals, and as he ran across n field he was
pursued by a rebel, who yelled, Run;
run; you dent half rum" And added
the General, 81 knew it, but | was do
ing the best | could"
On July 20, 1864. we fought the battle
of Peach TrSe Greek, Hoods first "maniy
blow" for Atlanta.
On the 22d tie left of the army fought,
Hoods second manly blow"
On that morning the Seth III. was put
on the skirmish line. As the line ran
along the foot of a steep hill, ana the
enemy were in ravine on the other side
CT the hill, they were not far from us; but
we could not reach them without bending
gun-barrels

you see something to shoot at" We dis

another period of privation and danger
was before us, and on July Ii the order
was given TO march the following morn

We are separated from the Confcder-
atcs by the Chattahoochec River along the
greater portion of our front. Their line
leaves the river at the mouth of Peach
Tree Creek and follows that stream nearly
due east directly north of Atlanta and
about six miles distant from the city. Con
tinuing down the river the line runs
southwest.
While our infantry has been idle in
camp, our pioneers have been busy pre-
pairing bridges to cross the river, at va
rious points. and now they are ready for
our advance.

To Abolish Properly Tax.

The state tax commission OF West
Virginia has made its report and it is
thought that the legislature viii pass
laws ia accordance with its recon-
m%endations. The suggestions Of the
commission are somewhat radical 10
their nature, but not more so that the
changes already made in Oregon and
those contemplated 10 Washington
aud Colorado. The impressive fact
about it all is that whenever a com
mission begins to investigate existing
tax systems they find them so OBJ
jectionable that they invariably
recommend radical departures from
the methods now In use.
The West Virginia commission adj
vises the total abolition Of property
tax as being too expensive to collect,
as falling upon productive and nom
productive property alike, as afford
ing a premium for dishonesty, as be-
ing unnecessarily bard upon the old
and upon the large, unfortunate class
who cannot make profit out Of
property. Some Of these objections
to The proptrty tx are valid and some
OF Them are only dcbatabls. It IS
recommended Instead that license
tcSes take the p ace, for the most
part Of the Old property tax. ~ IS
also suggested that taxes be laid upon

would be the Ease OF the sugar trust
aud the steel trust. But some Of
them would be scarcely affected by
any sort of hostile tariff legislation,
as in the case Of the Standard Oil
Company, the great railroad combines
and the anthracite coal trust.
Take, for instance, the Standard
Oil Company. II derives but little
benefit from tariff-mostlY upon by
products, yaseline, paint, oils, &c.
But then it needs no protection, it
is a natural monopoly. There are no
oil fields nearer than Russia in Asia
sufficient to supply local demand.
The Standard Oil Company owns more
railroads than any other concern or
any man in the world. The inde-
pendent well owners soon discover
that they cannot ship and sell theif
oil at a profit. BY and by they all
sell their wells to the Standard Oil
Company. OF course this is not done
in a day. 1t would provoke too much
indignation and might lead TO de-
structive legislation. Besides it is
economy to let others do the pros
poctlngs But independent wells can
not last long. Unless the Texas fields
quickly show signs OF playing ont the

those who make no use OF it, but

objection could be overcome by ap-
