Demarest, Twenty-fifth Michigan infantry, manned by infantry, were placed in positions commanding Bacon Creek and Greensburgh roads and the two siege-guns being in the fortifications near the bridge, under special charge of Captain Stacey, Inspector-General of the Fifteenth division, whose perseverance in overcoming the difficulties of mounting the guns, without the proper equipment, deserves the highest praise. The officers and men of my command, during these movements, boreur notice Lieut. Hales, sixth section battery Fifth Michigan, and Capt. Hall, commanding battery Thirty-third Kentucky. I was materially assisted in my duties of the disposition and movements of my command by J. S. Butler, A. A. A. G., and Captain Stacey, of (Gen.

to the cathead, and to the projecting levers or prongs on the respective halves of the clutch. A single motion, the slackening of the fall, operates the tripper; the clutch is opened when the chains are made taut by the descent of the block. Stacey, December 27, 1864. The anchor is suspended by its ring from the hook of the fallblock, which depends from the cat-head. The tripping-rope is attached to an eye on the fall-block hook, and is belayed to a pin on the cat-head. When the fall is cast loose, and as soon as the slack of the tripping-rope is exhausted, the said rope upsets the hook, and casts loose the anchor. Stacey's anchor-tripper. Holmes, April 28, 1857. A short chain is attached to the ring of the anchor, and the link on its upper end is transfixed by a pin which has its bearings in a block. By turning the handle half a revolution in one direction, the screw upon the shaft will cause the pin to recede, and disengage itself from the link of the chain. The t

Among the number was Dr. Childs, adjutant of our regiment, killed in the battle of Missionary Ridge, November 25. The Army of Tennessee remained encamped on the south and east of Chattanooga, from Lookout Mountain to the base and crest of Missionary Ridge near two months, or until the 25th of November, 1863. Rev. Mr. Stacey, of Newnan, Georgia, a Presbyterian minister, preached for us here, and I preached for the Kentucky Brigade, exchanging places occasionally with Professor Pickett, of Bethany College, Christian Church, who was with the Kentucky Brigade. He was a gentleman of culture and Christian charity. He was defective in hearing. Early in October I returned to the rear to look after our wounded. At Spring Place I found Captain Wilson and others improving; those at Dalton convalescing. But at

asion much more congenial with his character and office. In the year 1743 a dreadful fire at Crediton deprived no fewer than four hundred and fifty families of their homes. This awful event awakened all the benevolent sympathies of Mr. Towgood, who exerted himself to the utmost to lessen the affliction. His house and his purse were alike open for the relief of the sufferers. It was one of those occasions on which mankind were made to agree; and he accordingly co-operated zealously with Mr. Stacey, the clergyman of the parish, in the various measures which they undertook for soliciting subscriptions, and procuring other relief from a distance. A sermon, which he preached on the Sunday after this terrible visitation, was published, and was of great service in attracting the attention and sympathy of the public in general to the deplorable state of his suffering neighbours. About this time he published a valuable tract on the sentiments suitable to a season of recovery from sickn
