ger part of ours, that no assistance was received from it. Battle should have been latter. General Early writes so carefully and accurately, that we are particularly annoyed when mistakes creep into his articles, even when (as in this case) the fault is in the copyist. Captain Polk writes us in reference to his article on Chickamauga, published in our January-February number: On page 5, in the paragraph relating to the operations of Generals Hill and Hindman against Generals Negley and Baird in McLemore's Cove (September 11th, 1863), I am made to say, By daylight of the 11th September Cleburne had forced his way through the felled timber of Dug's Gap, and was ready to respond to Hindman's attack, but being uncertain of his position did not attack. * * * It should read, Cleburne had forced his way through the felled timber of Dug's Gap, and was ready to respond, but Hindman, uncertain of his position, did not attack.

The form in which General Thomas communicated this order to his own troops, is shown by a paragraph from the report of General Baird who commanded his left division: I had just completed the establishment of my line, and was upon the left of it, when a staff officer from Major-General Thomas brought me verbal orders to move forward to the edge of the open ground which bordered the toot of Mission Ridge, within striking distance of the rebel rifle pits at its base, so as to be ready at a signal, which would be the firing of six guns from Orchard Knob, to dash forward and take those pits.

The first-named generals belonged to the left wing and Hazen to the right. As to the arrival of the left wing in force General Slocum says: On the morning of the 21st the right wing came up and connected with General Hazen. The battle began about ten o'clock on the 19th.

Dr. Stocker is caterer, and I have a young man from one of the regiments acting as my adjutant general, till the arrival of Captain Baird. Captain Ringwalt, a Chester County farmer, has been assigned to me as quartermaster. He is said to be a most respectable and wealthy farmer of Chester County. Tenallytown, September 26, 1861. Yesterday, Baldy Smith Brigadier-Gene costs so much I must try to get along with my old hacks. I am very well satisfied with all my staff, and believe I have as nice a set of gentlemen as any brigadier in the field. Both Kuhn and Watmough are particularly clever fellows, and Captain Baird is a very nice fellow, too. We all get along most harmoniously and only want a little more to do. You have of course rejoiced over the glorious achievement of our navy at Port Royal. To Mrs. George G. Meade: camp Pierpont, Va., November

below. The illustration shows two of the peripheral knives, each preceded by a set of slitters, which are arranged in a V-form, on the face of the cylinder, so as to come in action in turn. The knives of the root-slicer c are attached to the arms of a fly-wheel and act upon roots presented at a side opening at the lower part of the hopper. By having two sets of knives, one to cut into the root to a certain depth, and the next to cut off a slice, the roots are reduced to strips, as in Baird's machine (d). The cutter-wheel of this machine is thickened toward the edge, to give it the effect of a fly-wheel. The knives are set to a distance from the face of the disk according to the thickness of the slices required. Each knife is preceded by three or more lancet-pointed studs, which slit the roots in passing and prepare the slices for falling into pieces as soon as they are detached from the root by the radial knives, which are parallel with the disk-wheel.
