e the 15th, exposed to the enemy's artillery and sharpshooters. Gen. Morell had come up on the 16th, and relieved Gen. Richardson on the right of Gen. Sykes. Continually under the vigilant watch of the enemy, this corps guarded a vital point. The position of the batteries under Gen. Pleasonton being one of great exposure, the battalion of the 2d and 10th U. S. Infantry, under Capt. Pollard, 2d Infantry, was sent to his support. Subsequently four battalions of regular infantry, under Capt. Dryer, 4th Infantry, were sent across to assist in driving off the sharpshooters of the enemy. The battalion of the 2d and 10th Infantry, advancing far beyond the batteries, compelled the cannoneers of a battery of the enemy to abandon their guns. Few in numbers, and unsupported, they were unable to bring them off. The heavy loss of this small body of men attests their gallantry. The troops of Gen Burnside held the left of the line opposite bridge No. 3. The attack on the right was to h

urnside's desperate struggle to cross the bridge below to their left. To the left of the bridge where Pleasonton's successful crossing on the morning of the 17th was accomplished stands Newcomers' Mill. On the ridge above, the cavalry and artillery held their positions, keeping open a way for reenforcements. These were much needed when the ammunition of the batteries ran low. More regular troops were sent forward, together with two more batteries from Sykes' division, under command of Captain Dryer. These reenforcements threw themselves splendidly into the fight. The cavalry had scored again. Held by the cavalry at Antietam Newcomers' mill on Antietam creek Farnsworth rose in his stirrups — he looked magnificent in his passion — and cried, Take that back! Kilpatrick returned his defiance, but, soon repenting, said, I did not mean it; forget it. For a moment there was silence, when Farnsworth spoke calmly, General, if you order the charge, I will lead it, but you mu

sulphide of carbon; see Fig. 3378. Also Robbins's patent, No. 75,980, March 24, 1868. Wool-comb′ing. Said to have been invented by Bishop Blaize, who gave the name to St. Blazy, a village of Cornwall. He was bishop of Sebastia, in Armenia, and was decapitated in the Diocletian persecution, in 289. Processions in his honor are still celebrated in some parts of England, on the 3d of February. For early English patents, see Cartwright, 1790; Wright and Hawksley, 1793; Toplis, 1793.

The long fibers are also laid in regular order, so that they can be readily spun into yarn. Lister's apparatus clears the long fibers by drawing them through a series of teeth by means of a nipper. A pair of jaws seizes a mouthful of wool, and conveys it into a carrier, which, in its turn, deposit<
