The revenue tax muddle which the
chairman of our Opera House got into
by settling with Collector Chairs
over the DIR. w. H. Long medicine
show matter, is rather unfortunate.
We would like to have seen the mat
ter tested, even if the Town of Smyr-
ma would have had to stand the ex-
pense of a Court trial. There was
no more reason why Smyrna should
not have refused to pay the tax than
Dover, which we understand it did
recently. Smyrna is an incorporated
town and operates its own charter
as granted by the Legislature. If
the Town has to pay tax on its play
houses we would like to know why.
We fully appreciate the peculiar
circumstances under which Cha irman
Wright was placed after he had rented
the House "free of all taxes, light
and fuel, - but contend that since
he was acting for the town, he should
have refused to pay Collector Chairs
and brought the matter in a regular
manner before the Town Council.
In taking the matter in his own
hands, and being bluffed into paying
$10O.50 Town Council is deprived
Of the opportunity of making a test
case Of it. Had it come before the
Council there is no doubt it would
have been held up pending more au
thority than Mr.. Chairs mere state
ment in the matter.

Mr.. L. NJ. Price is to be congrat-
ulated upon his endeavors to bring
a change about in the methods of
instruction at the Smyrna Public
Schools. While we are not willing
TO accept his plan as being the most
feasih5e without going into the matter
more closely we do give him credit
for wanting advanced ideas introducde
into our schools. Milford, we under
stand is much farther advanced than
Smyrna, and its graduates are able
to enter colleges and Universities
without much etxra, if any, prepara-
tiOn. Smyrna should keep pace with
the times and if it is necessary to en-
large our school building to meet
the needs of such a change, we say
do it. The bonded indebtedness on
our schools, we understand, is all paid
and it would seem to us that there
was no better time to make some
Improvements than now. 1t does not
speak well for our schools that our
boys have to be sent to Conference
Academy and other preparatory
schools to fit them for the entrance
examinations now required by the
higher institutions of learning. Mr..
Price has the right spirit and should
be commended by all public spirited
citizens as well as the friends of ed
ucatiOn.

ping from The National Tribune of Jan.

tells the story of the defense of the
blockhouse between Nashville and Chat

OF the 4th Mich. Cav, armed with
Spencer carbines and commanded by
Corp1 Chaucla Bickford. Gen. Wheeler
sent in a flag of truce. threatening to
turn his Texans loose if the Corporal did
not surrender Bickford answered: Go
.on, and turn them loose and We viii
take care of them" Wheeler shelied
the blockhouse for five hours and a
half. bringing his guns sometimes with.
in 10 rods of the works, but the little
band compelled the Confederate gum
ners to change the position of their
guns seven times. and finally forced
them to retreat with loss of eight
men killed and so wounded. Gen. Minty

Editor National Tribune: In the first
place, want to thank you for the ex-
treme pleasure that / have enjoyed in
hearing read the history of the Atlanta
campaign. Your description Is so vivid
and lifelike that to one who took part
in that campaign 1t really seems that
he is living it over again. l am sorry
that I am afflicted with blindness, but
am sure that you will not allow so val
uable a contribution to the history of
the war to lie dormant in your pages.

II not too late. would like you to pub
lish my name with the Captains as the
Captain of the 51st III. in the battle of
Kenesaw Mountain, June 27,~1S64. On
the night of June 26 / was on picket
duty, and Gen. Harker, commanding
our brigade, sent an Orderly ordering
me to come with my regiment tu lis
headquarters. 1t was the first time L
had ever seen him, and / was little
surprised to have him tell me that he
had watched me with great interest
during this campaign, and he was much
pleased with my Soldierly bearing and
the handling OF my men. This, Of
course, was pleasant thing for me to
hear. He then intimated what we were
to do the next day, and told me that,
tho L was the youngest man command
ing a regiment, he had selected me to
the post of honor in leading the men
into action. He then detailed the posi-
ton in which he wanted the men FORM
ed, and told me I was to move so many
yards directly east and then to move
directly south. At that point / was to
give in a clear. tho not loud voice, the
order: battalion, right wheel!' This
movement made brought McCook's Bri-
gade into immediate action and Wag-
Iner's Brigade also engaged, and / saw
at once the danger / was in. imme-
diately ordered my men to double-quick
down the hill. This brought US within
deploy my regiment and commence
firing / tried my best to do this, but
found it an impossibility and while SO
engaged 7 received a gunshot wound
which effectually left me out of the
action. 1 Immediately called my Ad-
jutant. Henry Hail, of Boston. and gave
him my orders. l then started to re-
tire, and had gone about 10 feet from
the firing line when / heard of my Adj
jutant's death. A few feet farther 1
met Gen. Harker on horseback. He
stopped me, and asked me how things
were in the front / told him it was
impossible to carry out his orders. I
had tried my very best to do as he
wanted me to. He then drew his sword
and cried: Who will follow me?" Sew
enteen men jumped up to follow him,
and in less time than it takes to tell it
Harker was corpse. Nearly every
one who got up was shot down. I am
writing longer letter than 1 intended
to, but / feel that my regiment is en-
titled to the honor, and history ought
to record it. For my standing and rep

greatest secrecy. In an hour all the
houses around We're illuminated with
