It was during this brief period of less than one half hour — from five to half-past 5 o'clock--that the greater portion of the casualties occured. The Eighth Michigan made the most heroic exertions, and suffered the most terrible losses. Captains Pratt, Church, Guild, and Lieut. Cattrell, commanding companies, were killed, and Capts. Doyle and Lewis and Lieut. Bates, commanding companies, were wounded on or near the parapet of the work. My Aid-de-Camp, Lieut. Lyons, who led the storming pa, the Commanding General of the division has not words to express his and your grief at the sacrifices that have been made. Our best and truest men now sleep the sleep that knows no waking. Their dead bodies lay on the enemy's parapet. Church, Pratt, Cottrel, Guild, Morrow, Horton, Hitchcock, and many other gallant and noble men we shall see no more. Honor therefore, all honor to you, men of the Second division. You have shown what you will do when you shall have the proper opportunity.

calling your attention to the eminent services and brave actions of this modest and efficient officer in this engagement. By his courage and skill the enemy's centre, a strong position, was broken and the rebels thrown into confusion. Col. Gooding did his whole duty as the commander of one of the very best brigades in the service of the Government, and Indiana may feel proud of his conduct in the bloody conflict. I cannot refrain from expressing my gratitude to my staff, including Lieut. Pratt, A. A.A. G., Lieut. Lines, A. D.C., Lieut. Rankin, of the Second Kansas regiment; Lieut. Andrews, of the Forty-second Illinois volunteers, and Lieutenant Wood, of the Signal Corps, for the able, gallant, and heroic manner in which they discharged their respective duties during the engagement, always ready and willing to take any risk or make any sacrifice for the good of their country's cause.

wn to be nearly unanimously true to the South. Under these circumstances, all that could be done was to apply to the governor to convene the legislature in extra session, which was done in the latter part of November. On the 3d of December, 1860, he replied with the first of those remarkable specimens of subterfuge, which he subsequently followed up with such masterpieces as have embalmed his reputation as a trickster among the most distinguished that history records. In a letter to Governor Pratt, he declined at that time to convene the legislature, because he was in correspondence with the governors of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina, as to the best means of preserving the rights of the South, and at the same time most solemnly asseverated his entire devotion to the South, calling God to witness that he would be first to shoulder his musket to protect the South from invasion. A large body of the people believed his professions, and indeed it was difficult to

m; then they would run down the front of the line and jump over and were met with the bayonet and clubbed with the musket. Generally they were repelled, occasionally they succeeded and captured some men. Private Hoke, of Company A, was thus cut off, and refused to surrender, and struck down several of the enemy before he was bayonetted. Few battles could show more bayonet wounds than this. After a severe hand to hand fight, disputing every inch, and losing the gallant Lieutenants Lowry, Pratt, McCorwell, and Captain Dunovant, whose arm was shot off, and many brave men, we were driven down the the hill to Ransom's brigade, which at this time was pouring in an enfilading fire. The fourth division, in front of the lines of Elliott's brigade, must have numbered 16,000. Besides this, General Turner with 4,000 men charged Ransom's brigade on our left, and was driven back. At 10 o'clock I was ordered to the brigade Headquarters to see General Bushrod Johnson, our division command

He adopted Richmond as his objective, instead of Lee's army. The latter was within a day's march of him, and its wings were separated by two days march. Here was an opportunity for a skilful commander, but Burnside decided to make Fredericksburg a base, and to move thence upon Richmond. On Nov. 15, he turned his back upon Lee and marched

he beverage and mingling it with the flavoring syrups, etc. See soda-fountain. Warker's bottle for aerated liquids. In the bottle for aerated liquids, patented by Warker, March 18, 1862, the spout of the metallic fountain-head is lined with glass to keep the liquid from contact with the metal. The shoulder on the top edge of the neck, the alternate grooves, and the ridges on the neck are used to strengthen the attach- ment of the metallic cap to which the fountain-head is screwed. Pratt's aerator. In Pratt's apparatus for aerating liquids, September 10, 1867, the plunger has a concavity which carries down the air; the latter is expelled as the plunger reaches the convex bottom, and is driven through the holes in the tube and disseminated through the liquid in the outer vessel. Meglone, August 14, 1866. The tube is introduced through the cork; the liquid enters holes at its lower end, and is discharged at the goose-neck, when the stopcock is opened. The bottle may b
