ustworthy and gallant officer. I ordered my line forward, and passed to the left oblique entirely down the northern or northeastern side of Round Top without encountering any opposition whatever. After I had reached the level ground in rear of Vincent's Spur, in plain view of the Federal wagon trains, and within two hundred yards of an extensive park of Federal ordnance wagons, which satisfied me that I was then in the Federal rear, advancing rapidly, without any skirmishers in front, I saw nemy from Round Top, was had with the two Alabama regiments alone. There were no other Confederate soldiers on Round Top during that afternoon. The other three regiments of Law's brigade were, doubtless, heavily engaged, but that occurred about Vincent's Spur, between Round Top and Little Round Top. The left of the Forty-seventh Alabama became widely separated from the right of the Fourth Alabama about the time we reached the summit of Round Top; there certainly was a wide gap between those re

the result would have been disastrous, no doubt. Hampton's and Robertson's brigades were moved to the front to a position previously chosen, of great strength against a force of ordinary size, or against cavalry alone; but although the enemy's advance was held in check gallantly and decidedly for a long time, it soon became evident that the enemy, utterly foiled for days in his attempt to force our lines, had, as usual, brought a heavy infantry force — part of the Fifth corps, under General Vincent--to his support, and its advance was already engaged in conjunction with the cavalry. I, therefore, directed General Hampton to withdraw to the next height whenever his position was hard pressed, and sent orders at once to Colonel Chambliss and General Jones--the former having informed me that the enemy was advancing in heavy force in his front — to afford all the resistance possible, and General Jones to join his left, and retiring apace with the main body, to effect a junction with i

It differs from lixiviation in the latter respect. To recover saccharine matter from animal charcoal, the latter may be lixiviated, water being passed through the mass to carry off the sugar. To remove saccharine and coloring matters from starch in the process of manufacture, the material is elutriated, and the granules of starch settle in the bottom of the vat; the substances remaining in solution are removed by decantation.

ollowed by many arts, such as the glazing of tiles and pottery, the manufacture of sonorous bronze, gunpowder, etc. When Mahmoud of Ghazni invaded India, several arts were scattered abroad and found their way still farther to the westward; the immediate introducers into the countries bordering on the Mediterranean being the Arabs, whom many have credited with the invention of arts which they derived from the farther East. The Arabic designations of Zoron and Aphron (south and north), which Vincent of Beauvais gives to the two ends of the magnetic needle, indicate the source whence the compass was directly obtained; and the influences of this people in the science of astronomy is also indicated in the Arabic names of many stars which are still retained. The dwellers in the West received, through the Macedonian settlements, accurate accounts of Indian productions of nature and of art, of which little more than the names were previously known by reports derived either through more an

tisfied, that they have good officers, who are qualified to command, and who regard with zealous care the comfort and health of the men. All I regret is, that I could not stop longer with them, for I had a hearty greeting and pressing invitations to stay longer in each of their camps. The evening I passed in my room, and quite a number of our officers and other friends called upon me. Oct. 25.—I passed several hours at the War Department transacting business with Colonel Breck and Colonel Vincent, who have lately been promoted to that rank. It is a pleasure to do business now at the War Department, every thing is so well arranged and systematized. Having completed my business, and obtained a pass from Major Polonzie, Assistant Adjutant-General, I called upon Colonel Tufts, and arranged with him to send blank muster-rolls for pay to the companies garrisoning the forts in that part of the defences of Washington which I had not time to visit. I had previously arranged with thos

calamity that had befallen his young master. I asked him the young man's name. He said it was Vincent, from Louisiana. Looking at the young man, I recognized him as formerly a student in Union Uniangers and hardships in his escape through the Yankee lines. This preacher called to see young Vincent, who begged the former to pray for him. Upon this the minister retired from the room in haste, ook! This incident caused no little amusement among the chaplains and others present. Young Vincent was sent to Atlanta, and thence to other hospitals, and, under the faithful nursing of dear Unchese horses are fed. Come in, gentlemen. Will you please tell me your name, sir? said I. Vincent, sir, was the reply. I once knew a young man in Union University, Tennessee, by that name. s wounded, and I ascribed his recovery to the excellent nursing of the faithful old servant.
