- The Life 4 Gen. Lee.
Messrs. J. M. Stoddart & Co., pub
lishers, of Washington and New York
announce the appearance of a new
work which must attract great atten
tion from all persons who are inter
ested in the events pertaining to tire
history of the great war.
“The Memoirs of Robert E. Lee
have been in preparation a long time,
but not until this fall have they taken
such definite shape as to be ready for
announcement. The book is «- com
plete and full history of the military
career and campaigns of Gen. Lee,
written by Gen. A. L. Long, a graduate
of West Point, who was for four years
in intimate association with Gen. Lee,
a member of his staff, and for some
time his confidential military secre
tary. Gen Long took very full notes
during all the operations and cam
paign?, from which he has written a
clear, authentic, accurate military his
tory The work has received the full
consent and approval of the surviving
members of Gen. Lee s family, Gen.
Custis Lee, in a personal letter, testi
fying to the fitness of Gen. Long for
the work, and the other members of
Gen. Lee’s family have conveyed im
portant information, private letters,
etc., which add greatly to its value.
A part of the book will be devoted to
1 domestic and social his-
tlie personal, .
torv of Gen. Lee, and will include a
large and highly’ valuable store of in
formation never before published.
This portion of the book will be chief
ly 7 tlie work of Gen. Marcus J. W^right
a distinguished officer of the Confed
erate service, and now the agent of
the Government for the collection of
Confederate records. Gen. Wright’s
wide acquaintance with the civil and
military liistorv of tho uonfedor&cy
will be of great* service. Many most
interesting sketches, anecilcNtes and
incidents have been placed iff the pos
session of the authors by intimate
personal friends, distinguished officers
public men, who were associated with
Gen. Lee during almost every year of
his life. There will be appended a
copious index, also an accurate copy
of the most important military reports
of Gen. Lee on his great campaigns,
together with a very complete state
ment of the forces comprising the
Confederate armies at the most impor
tant epochs.
The illustrations will comprise por
traits never before published, a repro
duction of the recumbent statue erect
ed over the tomb of Gen Lee at Lex
ington, and the necessary diagrams,
maps, etc., describing battles and
movements of troops. At the sug>-
gestion of the authors, tne publishers
have decided to make a donation for
the benefit of the Confederate Sold
iers’ Home at Richmond. In this
they follow the lead of Gen. Grant,
whose sincere interest in the welfare
of this institution was shown in con
tributing to it his cordial, hearty
sympathy and substantial pecuniary
donation. Thejiome has been assist
ed to the extent? oi thousands of dol
lars by the Grand Army of the Repub
lic of the North, and it was an emi
nently proper thing that these two
Confederate officers should themselves
testify their interest and sympathy
bv contributing a share of the pro
ceeds of the sales of the book. This
idea has been received with favor by
the gentlemen in charge of the insti
tution. and Filzkugh Lee, Governor
of Virginia, has formally accepted and
approved the suggestion. The plan of
the book has been submitted for the
inspection of a great number*of lead
ing Southern gentlemen, all of whom
have cordially 7 indorsed and testified
under their signatures to the value of
the work at the present time. The
Governors of a number of Southern
States have given their approval* and
have recommended it to the people of
their respective States. The book
will be published in one volume, about
seven hundred pages, printed and
bound in the best style, and will be
ready for delivery in the early fall.
Mesrrs. Stoddart & Co. have also
made arrangements for its publica
tion in England, Germany and
France. Such a work as this at the
present time, written by men who
nave full authority and experience to
speak, will have great weight in de
ciding many disputed questions which
are subjects cf controversy, and will
be an invaluable addition to tlie liter
ature of the great struggle, concern
ing the events of which every Ameri
can citizen, both North and South,
Levying State Taxes For 1886.
Governor McDaniel, has signed the
following order providing for the a?
sessment and collection of State taxes
for the fiscal year of 1886. The order
is practically the same as last year
and the rate remains unchanged :
Executive Department, [
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 10.)
Pursuantto section I of the Tax act
approved December 23, 1884, which re
quires the Governor, with the assist
ance of the Comptroller General, to
levy a percentage on the taxable prop
erty of this State,»sufficient to meet
the financial requirement thereof, not
to exceed a certain per cent, therein
named, and after approximating as
nearly as practicable the amount in
value of all taxable property in the
State, as exhibited in tlie digest; it is
ordered:
That three-tenths (3-10) of one per
cent, be assessed and collected upon
the amount of the value of the tax
able property returned by or assessed
against each taxpayer, and upon the
value of all property 7 in the State sub
ject to taxation, advalorem. It is fur
ther ordered:
That in addition to the three-tenths
above ordered an extra' per cent, of
one half of one tenth of one per cent,
be assessed and collected in conformity 7
with an act approved September
23, 1885, Hipon the amount of the
value of taxable property returned by
or assessed against each tax payer
and upon the value of all property’ in
this State subject to the taxation ad
valorem for the purpose of building c
State capital, making three and one
half (3£) tenths of one per cent, for
all purposes for the fiscal year 1886.
The special tax of one half of one
per cent, to be separately 7 assessed and
collected for the purpose mentioned,

is and should be thoroughly’ interest
ed. .. .,
Just at the present time there are
many points concerning the Civil War
which are under discussion bv emi
nent men both North and South.
Each party insists on telling his story
•from his own point of view.^ The
controversy over the battle.of Gettys
burg, especially’ the position taken
by’ one of the corps of the Federal
army*, is an instance in point where
the testimony of Gen. Lomg, who
himself was an eye-witness and carri
ed the order from the commander of
the Confederate forces directing the
movements of the troops, will .be of
great weight and service in arriving
at the truth of the whole question*.

Returns come in too slow to enable
the figures to be given. But Demo
cratic gains are everywhere reported,
and the best idea that, now can# be
formed is that the Democratic State
ticket is elected by 35,000, a Democratic
gain of about 28,000 over two years
ago. The majority may reach 40,000,
as every county, as far as heard from,
without exception, has shown a Demo
cratic gain. The successful candidates
for the State Supreme bench are:
