hen a council of war was called and it was decided to go down to Pilot Knob for more troops, for it was ascertained that the rebels were in large force. The train was sent back by Colonel Carlin, in command at the Knob, who, instead of forwarding troops, despatched the cars back to Mineral Point, with orders for the whole force there to report at once to him, as he was seriously threatened from the direction of Farmington. The train before going down ran up the road from Mineral Point to Blackwell's station, just at the bridge, in order to pick up the wounded and secure such baggage as the enemy had left. Mr. Kling says he found the bridge entirely destroyed, the timbers burning, the railroad track torn up for a short distance, and three telegraph poles cut down and the wires clipped. There were no persons remaining on the ground but the wounded, four of whom were rebels and six Federals. From .these he gathered the following account of the fight: The enemy were discovered approa

by our artillery, which had been advanced to within four hundred yards of their line, and which was most admirably served by Lieutenants Jacoby, Stauber, and Captain Callahan, excellently supported as they were by the First Nebraska, First Wisconsin, and a battalion of the Thirty-second Iowa as sharp-shooters, held the enemy in check — their officers could plainly be seen urging their men to the onset, but they could not be forced to face the music. Their loss in officers was severe. Major Blackwell, of Lafayette, wounded, and a prisoner in the hospital, informed me that his regiment alone, (Colonel Colton Green's,) lost five field and line-officers alone. The enemy retired at two o'clock and thirty minutes, simultaneously with the arrival of reenforcements, who doubtless were seen by them descending the river. General McNeil having determined to maintain the post to the last extremity, and fearing that the overwhelming force of the rebels might force him to his last resort, th

n of General Hood's in driving back the attack against our right, and a portion of Pickett's did important service near the Marye Hill. I refer you to their reports for particular accounts. Major Garnett held three batteries in reserve, in the valley between the positions of Generals Pickett and Hood, and was much disappointed not to have the opportunity to use them. My staff officers, Major Sorrell, Lieutenant-Colonel Manning, Major Fairfax, Captain Latrobe, Captain Goree, and Lieutenant Blackwell, gave me their usual intelligent, willing aid. Major Haskell, Captain Young, and Captain Rodgers, volunteered their assistance, and rendered important services. My thanks are also due to Surgeon Cullen, chief surgeon; Major Mitchell, chief quartermaster; Major Moses, chief of the subsistence department, and Captain Manning, signal officer, for valuable services in their respective departments. I have the honor to be, General, Most respectfully, Your obedient servant, James

d have arrived they closed with us, forcing the Twelfth and Twentieth North Carolina to retire to the barricades. Colonel D. H. Christie, with five companies of his regiment, had charged that part of the enemy's battery resting on the plank road, captured it by an enfilading fire, and caused the abandonment of their guns, when, finding that he was outflanked from the left, was forced to retire after a desperate fight, losing many men killed, wounded, and prisoners. It is supposed that Major Blackwell, of the Twenty-third North Carolina, was captured here. Lieutenant Colonel Lee, with the Fifth North Carolina, had come up in the mean time, but had not been engaged; he reported his regiment to me in the centre of my brigade, and was ordered to sustain two regiments of Rodes's brigade, in an advanced position, but finding the whole falling back, he also retired to the breastworks. Finding the danger from the forcing of our left flank imminent, and the enemy still pressing on, I was f

men, engaging the enemy, until the last of the army had left the field, and retired beyond the high hills which lay between them and danger. Colonel Bell and Lieutenant-Colonel Johnson, same regiment, with a large number of his officers and over one hundred of his men, were captured by the enemy, in an attempt to enter the fort from the south side. The loss of Colonel Bell is a serious one to us. It affords me pleasure to bear testimony to his distinguished gallantry and daring. Major Blackwell (Bell's regiment) was intrusted by me with an important part on the field, and is entitled to my thanks for the successful manner in which he performed it. Major B. T. Duval, Quartermaster on my staff, is entitled to my thanks for his constant attention to every duty on the march from Little Rock. He was with me on the field, and, by his coolness and good judgment, was enabled to render me important assistance up to the time of the withdrawal of my troops from the field. Captain

es transferred direct to the refinery, thus saving the time and fuel required for remelting the pig-metal. Various fluxes have been patented or proposed for assisting the process. Hampton, 1856, slakes quicklime with a solution of alkali or alkaline salt. Du Motay and Fontaine use scoriae from the pudding-furnace, oxides of iron and alkaline silicates or carbonates; Sanderson, 1855, uses substances containing oxygen or other element, by which silicium, aluminium, etc., are removed. Blackwell proposed remelting in a cupola furnace alone, or with the addition of substances containing nearly pure iron oxides. Nasmyth and others have employed steam passed through or caused to impinge upon the molten metal in a state of ebullition. Bessemer, in 1855, patented a process of this kind.

James Parton, The life of Horace Greeley, Chapter 20: Margaret Fuller. (search)
ol. The spirit in which we work, says Goethe, is the highest matter. What charms and blesses the reader of Margaret Fuller's essays, is not the knowledge they convey, nor the understanding they reveal, but the ineffably sweet, benign, tenderly humane and serenely high spirit which they breathe in every paragraph and phrase. During a part of the time of her connection with the Tribune, Miss Fuller resided at Mr. Greeley's house, on the banks of the East river, opposite the lower end of Blackwell's island. This place, she wrote, is to me entirely charming; it is so completely in the country, and all around is so bold and free. It is two miles or more from the thickly-settled parts of New York, but omnibuses and cars give me constant access to the city, and, while I can readily see what and whom I will, I can command time and retirement. Stopping on the Harlem road, you enter a lane nearly a quarter of a mile long, and going by a small brook and pond that locks in the place, and
