then run off at intervals into splendid file-firing. No language could describe its awful grandeur. Ten thousand muskets fired in volleys mingled in a great roar of a mighty cataract, and it seemed almost as if the earth were being destroyed by violence. The shells howled like demons as they sailed over the heads of the troops lying close to their improvised The day after the explosion that reached Grant's quarters: danger ever present with millions of pounds of powder On the 9th of August, 1864, the quiet of noon at City Point was shattered by a deafening roar. Shot and shell were hurled high in the air. Fragments fell around the headquarters of General Grant. Only one member of his staff was wounded, however--Colonel Babcock. The lieutenantgeneral himself, wrote Major-General Rufus Ingalls in his official report, seems proof against the accidents of flood and field. A barge laden with ordnance stores had blown up, killing and wounding some 250 employees and soldiers, thro

Well, let us keep up our spirits, have brave hearts, trust in God's mercy and goodness, and believe that so long as we try to do our duty all will be well in time. Headquarters army of the Potomac, August 8, 1864. Grant has not yet returned from Washington. It is reported he has gone to Harper's Ferry to see for himself how matters stand. This, and his not telegraphing for me, I think settle the question about my being transferred. August 9, 1864. I am delighted to see your letter is written in such good spirits, and am truly rejoiced to hear I have so many and such warm friends. The attempt to implicate me in the recent fiasco was truly ridiculous; still, the public must in time be influenced by these repeated and constant attacks, however untrue and unjustifiable they may be. Have you ever thought that since the first week after Gettysburg, now more than a year, I have never been alluded to in public journals except to abus

s a lack of adjustment somewhere, it may be supposed, but the end is not yet. In Washburn's Air-Heater and Steam-Generator, United States Patent, September 5, 1865, the air is also introduced under pressure into the furnace, and then passed through a cleansing-tank before being added to the steam evolved in the coil of pipe which constitutes the steam-generator. In this apparatus full saturation is obtained. See illustration in air engine. Stillman's Hot Air and Steam Generator, August 9, 1864, has also the combination of air and steam. Bickford's Patent, June 6, 1865, may also be examined in this connection. In Tanger's Steam Generator, December 4, 1866, the air is injected into the pipes E and I by means of a force-pump, and after being heated while passing through the convolutions of the pipes F and J, is forced into the boiler by nipples, as shown at K. In Tarr's Aero-Steam Engine, 1867, the air is heated within the furnace, and is thence forced through the pipe i
