he column. Under these circumstances his ambulance was attacked by a scouting party under a Captain Gurley, of the Confederate cavalry. He refused to surrender; a fight ensued, and General McCook was killed. It was charged and believed among our forces that Gurley was a bushwhacker after the pattern of Champ Ferguson and Gatewood. The old gentleman had heard that the slayer of his son was wity. I advised him not to go, and other officers pointed out to him the fact that he did not know Gurley, and that no one in our command had any personal knowledge of him. At a bright rill of water, whtch, and Henry rifle fell into the hands of the enemy. I should, probably, add here that Captain Gurley was captured with others of Morgan's forces; that he was taken to Nashville, tried by militaling was a legitimate act of war; that the decision was confirmed by President Lincoln, and that Gurley then became an ordinary prisoner of war, and was exchanged with the others. On board the ste

to live and tell their children yet to be born the sad story of Lincoln's death. At ten o'clock in the morning of the second day, as a choir of two-hundred-and-fifty voices sang Peace, troubled soul, the lid of the casket was shut down forever. The remains were borne outside and placed in a hearse, which moved at the head of a procession in charge of General Joseph Hooker to Oak Ridge Cemetery. There Bishop Matthew Simpson delivered an eloquent and impressive funeral oration, and Rev. Dr. Gurley, of Washington, offered up the closing prayer. While the choir chanted Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb, the vault door opened and received to its final rest all that was mortal of Abraham Lincoln. It was soon known that the murder of Lincoln was one result of a conspiracy which had for its victims Secretary Seward and probably Vice-President. Johnson, Secretary Stanton, General Grant, and perhaps others. Booth had left a card for Mr. Johnson the day before, possibly with the in

ty to hold the chips; this was a pod auger. To this a lip was subsequently added for some kinds of boring, and in course of time the depression grew into a spiral, which allows the chips to escape while the boring proceeds, instead of withdrawing the tool as the pod becomes filled. L'hommedieu's auger. Shetter's American auger. The Twisted Auger is an American invention, and was made by Lilley, of Mansfield, Connecticut, about the beginning of the present century, and afterwards by Gurley, of the same place. Augers may be classified as augers; hollow augers; annular augers; taper augers; augers with secondary borers, reamers, or countersinks, or having expansive cutters. Auger-gages, auger-handles, and machines for making augers, will be considered separately. Cook's auger. L'Hommedieu's Auger, 1809 (Fig. 423), has two pods, two cutting-lips, a central screw, and a twisted shank. It is hardly fair to say that it is perfect of its kind, as so many improvements ha

He says he was a surgeon, and had served in the regular army on the Pacific coast for a number of years. His family are Southerners, and he says he concluded to throw up his commission and join our side. Which way is he going? He wants to get to Richmond as soon as he can. He will be back shortly and I'll introduce you to him; perhaps you can give him a helping hand. I'll do what I can, replied Webster, with a mental reservation. What is his name? He gave me his name as Doctor Gurley: he brought a letter from a friend of mine in Washington, and I believe he is carrying some messages to Mr. Benjamin, the Secretary of War, which he is very anxious to deliver as early as possible. Well, we may be fellow-travelers if he turns up in time to go over with me, said Webster, who was already attempting to devise some plan for intercepting the delivery of the dispatches which the titled deserter was carrying. I have made all arrangements, replied the landlord, and will se

The next afternoon, Webster and Doctor Gurley started for their point of debarkation. The medical deserter was exceedingly downcast about the loss of valuable papers, although he had entirely recovered from the physical effects of his attack. He indulged in curses, loud and deep, upon the perpetrator of the theft, and speculated with grave seriousnesers in the boat. Remaining at the house of Mr. Woodward during the night, on the following morning they went to Tappahannock, where they boarded a packet for Fredericksburg. Here they met a Colonel Prickett, who was an old acquaintance of Doctor Gurley, and from the general conversation that ensued, Webster obtained material information of the location of the rebel forces. That evening they proceeded to Richmond, and Webster, parting with his traveling companion, set about delivering some

By direction of General Smith the Ouachita and Little Missouri were made the true line of defense. Colonels McCray and Dobbin were sent into northeast Arkansas. General Magruder, having transferred his headquarters to Washington, Ark., wrote to General Price on the subject of the reorganization of his command, that those regiments best disciplined and officered should be retained as cavalry, and sent to Texas to winter;
