- 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, Henry D. McDaniel, . * Governor. By the Governor: *Wm. A. Wright, Comptroller General. TENNESSEE ELECTIONS. A Democratic Majority of Thirty Five Thousand Votes. 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*. Tiie book is sold by subscription only. Nashville, Aug. 6.—Yesterday’s election in Tennessee was for five Judges of the Supreme Court and a full list of county officers, Judges and clerks of every court in the State 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: Peter; Turney, of Franklin county^ W. C. Caldwell, of Gibson; W. H. Lur- ton, of Montgomery ;B. L. Snodgrass, of Hamilton; W. C.
