culated the effects of his policy. General Johnston arrived in Nashville September 14th, and on the same day determined to seize Bowling Green. He placed General S. B. Buckner in charge of the column of advance, telegraphing to Richmond for his appointment as brigadier-general, which was made next day, September 15th. The grounds of his intended movement were given by General Johnston to the President, the day before it was made, in the following letter: Nashville, Tennessee, September 16, 1861. Mr. President: Your dispatch of the 13th instant was received at Chattanooga. After full conference with Governor Harris, and after learning the facts, political and military, I am satisfied that the political bearing of the question presented for my decision has been decided by the Legislature of Kentucky. The Legislature of Kentucky has required the prompt removal of all Confederate forces from her soil, and the Governor of Kentucky has issued his proclamation to that effect.

o told me he could see the top of our house distinctly from Munson's Hill. Oh, that I could know what is going on within those walls, all encompassed by armies as it is. With my mind's eye I look into first one room and then another, with all the associations of the past; the old family Bible, the family pictures, the library, containing the collection of forty years, and so many things which seemed a part of ourselves. What will become of them? Who are now using or abusing them? Sept. 16th, 1861. Just returned from Annfield, where we have spent a charming day, with most delightful society. The papers brought us news of success in the West, General Floyd having overcome Rosecranz on Gauley River. This gave us great satisfaction, as we are peculiarly anxious about that part of Virginia. We passed the time in talking over the feats of our heroes, as well as in enjoying the elegancies by which we were surrounded. Sept. 18th, 1861. I have been greatly interested in a let

e inventions of Ericsson and Coles was a proposition of Mr. T. R. Timby, of Massachusetts, who sent drawings of his proposed turret ships and batteries to the United States Patent Office in 1843. His right to the invention was afterward recognized by the United States, and a royalty paid to him. The evidence tends to show that neither one of these engineers was aware of the invention of the others prior to the completion of his own. The contract for building the Monitor was awarded September 16, 1861. Captain Ericsson says: In order not to lose time, the Secretary ordered me to go ahead at once. Consequently, while the clerks of the department were engaged in drawing up the contract, the iron for the keel-plate of the Monitor was drawn through the rollingmill. The contract for Captain Ericsson's battery specified that she was to be 172 feet long, 41 feet beam, 11 1/2 feet hold, 1, 255 tons displacement. She was to be completed in 100 days.
