flank our position, by crossing the swamp, and taking the unoccupied works on the Williamsburg and Nine-Mile roads, down which they would then sweep, I had ordered Field and Hoke to move by the left flank, along the works, leaving only strong lines of skirmishers on the fronts they were leaving, and ordered Gary to the Nine-Mile road, to hold the works at that point. This movement was made rapidly and continued till the left of Field rested just beyond the Williamsburg road. Johnson's and Haskell's battalions of artillery were moved with the infantry, and placed in suitable positions along the line. When the head of the column reached the Williamsburg road, the enemy were already advancing a strong line of skirmishers on the works at that point. They were handsomely repulsed by our advance, by a portion of General Gary's command, and the column took position along the old line of works. Hardly had Field located himself when an attack in very heavy force was attempted on his front

work of a man on a pump is estimated as equivalent to an effort of 17 1/4 pounds exerted through 2 1/2 feet in 1 second; or, 150 feet per minute = 9,000 feet per hour = 157,500 foot pounds or 70 foot tons per hour = 560 foot tons per day of 12 hours. Alarm-pump. The most favorable length of stroke on fire-engines is from 30 to 35 inches. Hydraulic-pressure pump. The power necessary is about 1 man for every 22 cubic inches of pump-barrel; double this power if double-acting. Haskell's alarm-pump for nautical use has three cylinders a a a, the pistons of which are connected to crank-arms arranged at equal angles around the shaft b, and operated, when worked as a pump, by an arm on the fly-wheel c. The three delivery-pipes from the cylinders coalesce at d, so as to form but one: their respective suction-pipes are also united above e, and the pipe formed by their junction is provided with two valves, one of which opens connection with the pipe leading to the hold and the

gear connection to the drive-wheel, on which the frame rested. Spear-shaped fingers gathered the grain, which was laid over to the cutter by a revolving-reel. A divider was used on each end of the platform. The driver and raker had seats on the machine. The gearing and crank were placed forward of the driving-wheel. 1835. Randall had a pair of knife-bars reciprocating past each other. Wray, 1852, had the same. 1836 Briggs and Carpenter combined the reaper and thrasher. Moore and Haskell, the same year. Ridley, in Australia, seven years afterward, did the same, and supposed himself to be the first inventor. Hazard Knowles, the machinist of the Washington Patent Office, invented in 1837 a reaping machine having a scalloped reciprocating cutter; the cutting apparatus jointed to a double arm, the opposite end of which was in turn jointed to the main frame, coincident with the axis of the crank-shaft; both supporting-wheels were drivers for the cutters. It was a front-cut

reefold action. The lubrication is done through a steam-lubricator on the steam-chest, and the waste oil passing down to the bottom of the casing lubricates the lower ends of the connecting-rods as they pass round. Three-cylin-der pump. Haskell's threecyl-inder pump, having one inlet and outlet common to all the cylinders, equalizes the application of its raising and discharging power (causing a continuous stream) by the diverse position of the three-throw crank to which the pistons ardelivery-pipe, but when oblique or horizontal, the flow is into an auxiliary tube, which curves upward and then enters the delivery-pipe.

sachusetts that volunteered to cross to Fredericksburg in boats, under a severe fire, a year and a half ago, which they did so perilously and so bravely. Some of these regiments were captured bodily, viz.: the Nineteenth and Fifteenth Massachusetts, and the Forty-second and Eighty-second New York. The brigade has lost five commanders, and other officers, and rank and file in proportion, during the campaign. Commanding it have been General Alexander Webb, wounded at Spottsylvania, and Colonels Haskell and McKean, killed at Cold Harbor. The division probably, lost a thousand prisoners yesterday, and Mott's and Barlow's together as many. Beside these is the loss of four guns. McKnight stood by them and his colors till a rebel flag flaunted beside his own, and there was but one man with him. To-day, while talking of the disaster, his voice broke and his eyes filled. The presence of an enemy had never caused the one to falter nor abashed the other. Dispositions were instantly made

ominated a strong right flank. Just after this personal reconnoissance, with its results in his mind, Sherman met both Schofield and Hooker near there on the field of battle. At once Sherman showed Hooker's dispatch to Schofield. Sherman said: Schofield was very angry, and pretty sharp words passed between them, i.e., Schofield and Hooker. Schofield insisted that he had not only formed a strong right flank, as ordered, but that in the primary engagement the head of his column, part of Haskell's division, had been in advance of Hooker's corps, and were entitled to that credit. He affirmed, also, that dead men from his army were yet lying up there on the ground to show where his lines had been. Hooker, thus called to account, made answer, apologetically, that he did not know this when he sent the dispatch. But Sherman, considering that the original statement of Hooker had reflected to his hurt upon an army commander without cause, and that Hooker's exaggeration had led Thomas
