Lieutenant Simpson, in position, and my two regiments of infantry and a squadron of cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant Beecher, in line to support them. I then ordered the troops to bivouac for the night. At daylight on the morning of the eighteenth, formed the line and continued the march without interruption until we arrived at Swift Creek road, at ten o'clock A. M. Learning that the road to Swift Creek was blockaded for a number of miles, I continued on the direct road to Blunt's Creek Mills. At twelve M., the main column being some distance in the rear, I halted to rest and allow the column to close up. After a halt of about two hours I was joined by General Naglee and staff, when we immediately pushed forward, and reached Blunt's Creek about half-past 3 P. M. Found the bridge over the creek destroyed; but with very little labor the pioneers constructed a passage through the mill. Received orders from General Naglee to halt the column when it arrived, bivouac, and move fo

prisoners should shortly be moved. All work was thereupon suspended, though the prisoners were not moved, and the greatest suffering occurred after this time. An organization and a tributary territory sufficient for two thousand prisoners failed utterly when ten thousand were confined. The food supply became scanty in spite of the energetic commissary. With the necessity of providing thirteen thousand rations every day, the commissary very often did not have one day's rations on hand. Mills were impressed and forced to grind wheat and corn, and agents to secure provisions were also sent. Rain or shine, hot or cold, Major Myers might have been seen seeking for supplies, but in spite of all his efforts, days upon which no meat could be procured became more frequent. The hospital was badly placed and poorly supplied. It was too small, and hundreds of prisoners died in their quarters. Sometimes, where one lived alone in a burrow, his body might not be discovered for several day

revious to its completion, he will, as now directed, cover the front and exterior lines well out. The commands must be prepared for a movement, and, in the event of the enemy attacking us on the ground indicated herein, to follow up any repulse. The chief signal officer will examine the line thoroughly and at once. Upon the commencement of this movement, extend telegraphic communications from each of the following points to general headquarters, near Frizelburg, viz: Manchester, Union Mills, Middleburg, and the Taneytown road. All true Union people should be advised to harass and annoy the enemy in every way; to send in information, and taught how to do it— giving regiments by number of colors, number of guns, generals' names, &c.; all their supplies brought to us will be paid for, and not fall into the enemy's hands. Roads and ways to move to the right and left of general line should be studied and thoroughly understood. All movements of troops should be concealed, and

dye except at the mordanted parts. See calico-printing. De-cor′ti-cator. A process or a machine for removing the hull from grain. In the hominy-mill the fibrous envelope is taken from the corn, which may be left nearly intact otherwise, if desired. The process is sometimes performed by a preliminary steaming, followed by rubbing or rasping. Decorticating was practiced by the Romans, the whole grain being pounded in mortars with some abradant which rasped off the cuticle or bran. Mills for decorticating are known in England as barley-mills, that grain being principally used as human food in the condition known as pearl barley. The barley-mill has a roughened exterior, and revolves in a wooden casing. The middle portion of the latter is lined with sheetiron pierced like a grater with holes, the sharp edges of which turn upward. In Germany grain is decorticated between stones set at such a distance apart as to rasp the bran off the grain without mashing the latter. Cor

thickness upon fabric, by rolls of even motion; and the rubber fabric is then cut into pieces according to pattern, for boot or shoe soles, etc. In′dia-rub′ber spring. The first known use of india-rubber for springs is in Lacy's English patent of 1825. He employed blocks of rubber with interposed plates of iron. Melville, 1844, obtained a patent for hollow spheres of rubber, enclosing air and separated by disks of wood or metal, the whole enclosed in iron cases. In 1845, Walker and Mills patented rubber bags filled with air and enclosed in a case for use as springs. Fuller, 1845, cylindrical rings of rubber having perforated disks between them, and a guide-rod passing through the whole. These had a tendency to swell out at the center under pressure, breaking or injuring the material. To remedy this defect, Spencer, 1852, 1853, formed the rubber rings of the shape which they would assume under pressure, and surrounded them with an annulus of iron. These have been used as

A furnace where the puddled metal is reheated, preparatory to again passing through the rolls. Mill-gang. In warping; that part of the warp which is made by a descending and ascending course of the threads round the warping-mill. Mill-hop′per a-larm′. An attachment to grinding-mills to indicate that the grist has about run out of the hopper. Mills have been burnt by the heat and sparks generated by the stones when running empty, and several devices have been patented to turn off the power and stop the machinery when the grist is expended. Other patents have been granted for arrangements by which timely notice is given of the fact that the hopper is nearly empty. In the example, a plate hinged to the side of the hopper is held down by the grist until the latter is about expended. The plate then rises, and its attached cord allo

er in the way above described, and a continuous flow of water allowed to circulate through the hollow spaces within the beds; by this means the particles of paint may be ground to an extreme degree of fineness without material evolution of heat. Mills constructed on this principle may also be used for grinding other substances. Paint-mill. Pair-horse Har′ness. The general name given to double harness in England. Paix′han gun. A large chambered shell-gun, so called from Colonel an Atmospheric Railway as ordinarily understood. See air-engine; air-engine, compressed. See also pneumatic tube. Pneu-mat′ic spring. Air confined in bags and used as a spring in carriages is specified in the English patent of Walker and Mills, July 3, 1845. It has been used to receive the recoil of a gun in firing, to arrest the blow of a reciprocating bed in a printing-press, and in many other positions. Pneumatic car-spring.

vessels of the same material at his shops in Millwall. He was one of the very first to plan and construct buildings of iron. He was chosen to assist Stephenson in the construction of the great tubular iron bridge over the Menai Strait, for the Chester and Holyhead Railway. He was chiefly instrumental in the introduction into general use of wrought-iron plate girders in building operations, as well as in railway engineering. His principal works are on The history and manufacture of iron, Mills and mill-work, and Iron shipbuilding. He died August 18, 1874. Riveting-machine. Riveting-machine.
