which Lieut. Dubois handled his guns, and of the valuable services he rendered throughout the entire conflict. The following named officers came under my personal observation during the day, and deserve especial mention for the zeal and courage they displayed, although it would prolong this report to too great a length if I should particularize in each individual case: Lieut. Conrad, Second Infantry, A. C. S. to Gen. Lyon, (wounded;) Major Wherry, volunteer aide-de-camp to Gen. Lyon; Major Shepard, volunteer aide-de-camp to Gen. Lyon; Mr. E. Cozzens, volunteer aide-de-camp to myself. Gen. Sweeny, Inspector-General.--This gallant officer was especially distinguished by his zeal in rallying broken fragments of various regiments, and leading them into the hottest of the fight. Assistant-Surgeon Sprague, Medical Department, attended the wounded with as much self-possession as though no battle was raging around him, not only took charge of the wounded as they were brought to him, b

Colonel Shepard, of the Third Missouri, followed him, supported by the Thirty-first Iowa, under Col. Smyth. Next to the left, and i anticipated, and was compelled to divert his whole regiment from its original course to repel this assault, leaving Colonel Shepard in the advance on the original line. The Seventy-sixth Ohio, under Colonel Woods, moved off on the double-quick in on our flank, early attracted my attention. Here I ordered a charge on the enemy's works by the Third Missouri, under Col. Shepard, supported by the Thirty-first Iowa, commanded by Colonel Smyth. They moved forward vigorously, and for a time I confted, and therefore not guarded by Colonel Hassendeubel's sharp-shooters, checked the charge, and at length compelled Colonels Shepard and Smyth to resume their original line of battle. Colonel Hassendeubel, with his regiment of sharp-shooters, con

near the centre of the brigade, within about twenty-five paces of the stone wall. This gallant officer was too well known to need further mention. Captain Linthicum, A. A. G., Lieutenant Jones, A. D. C., and Lieutenant Harrison, acting A. D. C., did their whole duty and won the admiration of the entire command by their gallant bearing on the field while carrying orders from one portion of the line to the other where it seemed almost impossible for any one to escape. The conduct of Captain Shepard, of the Twenty-eighth Virginia, was particularly conspicuous. His son fell mortally wounded at his side. He stopped but for a moment to look on his dying son, gave him his canteen of water, and pressed on with his company to the wall, which he climbed and fought the enemy with his sword in their own trenches, until his sword was wrenched from his hands by two Yankees. He finally made his escape in safety. In making the above report, I have endeavered to be as accurate as possible,

for coating metal plates. Junot, 1852, alloyed silicum, titanium, tungsten, etc., with nickel for electro deposition. Thomas, 1854, used ferro-cyanide of potassium and nitromuriatic acid to obtain a nickel solution for the battery. In 1855 he used the same, with carbonate of ammonia and oxide of alumina. Cheatley, 1855, deposited alloys of nickel by a battery (British patent 1543, of 1855). An alloy of nickel was applied to iron plates by friction and heat by Barron in 1856 Shepard, 1858, deposited an alloy of silver and nickel. The solution is made by adding carbonate of ammonia to a solution of nitrate of silver, then a similar solution of carbonate of nickel in carbonate of ammonia. An anode of one part silver and two parts nickel is used Cyanide of potassium may be used in the battery. Adams, United States patent No. 57, 271, 1866, coats gastips with nickel. Same, 1869, uses solution of sulphate of nickel in solution of sulphite or bisulphite of ammonia. Sa

e human race. To a friend, referring to his religion, he once said, I take religion differently from other people; nor have I much to boast of, any way. Just before leaving Boston for the last time, he made an address at the Church of the Disciples, in which, says one then present, with profound and even tearful emotion, he spoke of the love of Christ as no man could speak who had not long and intimately known that love. Mr. Sumner's works, published in elegant style by Messrs. Lee and Shepard, received his critical revision, and will constitute his most enduring monument. Well could he say of them,-- Exegi monumentum aere perennius. His last book, now in press, is entitled Prophetic Voices concerning America, and displays to great advantage the extent of his historical researches, and his anticipations of a glorious future for this continent. The style of Mr. Sumner is clear as sunlight. As the course of some majestic river it flows on, smooth, full, free, and harmon

ed among his acquaintances S. J. Sylvester, a leading seller of lottery tickets, and Dr. H. D. Shepard, a medical student, who had about $1,500 in cash at command. Through Sylvester, Story counted on being able to secure the printing of the weekly Bank-Note Reporter, and for Shepard he had in view the printing of a one-cent daily newspaper, which Shepard had decided to establish. With this buShepard had decided to establish. With this business in sight, Story proposed to Greeley that they open a printing-office of their own, and, not without misgivings, Greeley finally consented. Between them they could count up less than $200; butStreet, and invested all their cash in the necessary equipment. Thence, on January 31, 1833, Dr. Shepard's Morning Post was issued. Finding no encouragement for his one-cent scheme, he had fixed thme nine months later, and came to stay. The firm of Greeley & Story lost about $50 through Dr. Shepard, but this did not bankrupt them. A purchaser was found for some of the Morning Post's equip
