owledge, of the individual instances of bravery and courage. But few of my regiment, as well as the other three who started together, reached the ravine at this time. You will recollect that two of our companies were detached, on the twenty-ninth, to collect and guard stores, taken from the enemy, and the other eight were so small, and the officers so few, that they were consolidated into four companies, having only four Captains for duty. Three of these reached the ravine, and one, Captain Edmondson, was utterly exhausted, and instantly taken so ill that I advised him to return with the assistance of one of his men. After remaining in this position for about an hour, I despatched the Sergeant-Major to General Armistead, to inform him of our position and condition, and that, in my opinion, we ought to be reinforced. I have not seen the Sergeant-Major since, now being sick, and received no reply. Some time between six and seven o'clock, General Wright brought with him, into the ra

There seemed a prospect of home, sweet home, before me. The chill winds blew fiercely, and I passed a very cold, unpleasant night on deck. Arrived at the Point about 3 o'clock P. M., and was assigned to Ward Fourteen, General Hospital. November 24th Thanksgiving Day for the Lincolnites. Had a good dinner, better than any I have had since I left Winchester. We are anxious for a flag of truce boat to carry us to Dixie, and it is the perpetual theme of conversation. I bunk with Lieutenant Edmondson, of the Thirty-seventh Virginia, in order to keep warm. November 25th This is an intensely cold place. The Point is very bleak in winter, situated between Chesapeake bay and the Potomac river. The privates in the prison pen must suffer terribly, as they are thinly clothed, many in rags, and are poorly supplied with blankets and coal or wood. The fare is much better than at West's Buildings Hospital. November 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th Weather continues freezingly c

See baggage-check, Fig. 524, page 210. Tick′et Print′ing and Num′ber-ing ma-chine′. A machine for printing and consecutively numbering tickets. The first machine of this kind was invented by Edmondson, in England, about 1840, and was designed to remedy the troublesome practice then in use on railways of stamping and tearing each ticket from a book previous to its delivery to the purchaser. This machine imprinted the date and consecutively numbered the tickets, but was imperfect in its inking arrangements, frequently rendering the tickets illegible. Church and Goddard's machine, introduced subsequently, printed, numbered, cut, counted, and packed the tickets. Pasteboard, cut int

Dejarnette and Edmondson, of Virginia, hearing that incendiary documents were being circulated through Virginia, by the Clerks of the Census Bureau, by order of John P. Kennedy, Superintendent, called this morning to ascertain if it was so. Kennedy admitted that they had been sent by his order — such of them as were fit; but the clerks were not employed in that work during ois order — such of them as were fit; but the clerks were not employed in that work during office hours. Messrs. Dejarnette and Edmondson told him if he sent any to their Districts they would hold him personally responsible, and he promised not to send any. The speeches sent by Kennedy were chiefly those of Clemens, of Virginia; Millson, of Virginia, and Etheridge, of Tenn. The National Intelligencer is printing a large extra edition of these speeches for Virginia circulation. Ze

The next destroyed is that over Sleep Creek, 17 miles west of Martinsburg. There will be no trouble in re-building the first two bridges, but there will be some difficulty with the last one, which is one hundred feet wide and ninety feet above the water. General Johnson had ordered the Opequcan bridge to be rebuilt, but the Confederates have not been able to accomplish it. The telegraph instruments have been taken from the office at Martinsburg to prevent their being used. Col. Edmondson commands the secession forces at Martinsburg. He has three companies of the Winchester Rifles, the Winchester Mounted Guerillas and another company. Col. Stewart commands the camp at Hainesville, five miles North of Martinsburg. He has charge of all the forces stationed at the fords and ferries on the Potomac between Falling Springs and Hancock. A large majority of the people of Martinsburg are anxious for the arrival of Federal troops there, and offer to give their beds, rooms,
