th regiment. All alike acted nobly and fought bravely, adding new laurels to those already won in Western Virginia. Lest I should be thought to prefer one above another, I forbear making any personal mention, as they, all, both officers and men, fought with a coolness and desperation that proved them not inferior to our brave Hoosiers who are battling in other localities for our holy cause. The medical staff, and more particularly of our own Assistant Surgeon, require of me a mention. Dr. Gall, principal, having been detailed during the early part of the action to take charge of the wounded, who were being sent to Winchester, left Dr. W. C. Foster alone on the field, and he was in the thickest and hottest of the fight, with the members of the Thirteenth's band, carrying off the killed and wounded as they fell on the field, and but for him our list of dead would have been greater than it is. We captured a number of commissioned officers, some of whom are wounded. Among them ar

f a subordidinate officer, were British subjects. I do not think such a case can be brought within the application of the principle, perfectly well settled, and which in a war like the present our Government ought never to yield, that the citizen of a belligerent State, with or without a commission, may capture enemies' property at sea. That doctrine (as may be seen in the elaborate discussion of the opinions of British and foreign jurists by Judge Story, in the case of the Ship Emulous, 1 Gall. Rep., 563, 55; 8 Cranch, 110--a discussion which Mr. Phillimore pronounces perfectly exhaustive) is founded upon the hostile relations which the mere declaration of war creates between citizens of the contending States. A commission would appear to me indispensable to enable a belligerent to claim for itself the benefit of captures made in its behalf by citizens of a neutral State. Parr's position may be, and in all probability is, very different from that of his associates; but it does n

ilent contempt, sat still. A long time Burgoyne waited for further fidings from Clinton. On Oct. 4, he called a council of officers. It was decided to fight their way through the American lines, and, on the morning of oct. 7, 1777, the whole army moved. Towards the American left wing Burgoyne pressed with 1,500 picked men, eight brass cannon, and two howitzers, leaving the main army on the heights in command of Brigadiers Specht and Hamilton, and the redoubts near the river with Brigadier-General Gall. Phillips, Fraser, and Riedesel were with Burgoyne. Canadian rangers, loyalists, and Indians were sent to hang on the American rear, while Burgoyne should attack their front. This movement was discerned before the British were ready for battle. The drums of the American advanced guard beat to arms. The alarm ran all along the lines. Gates had 10,000 troops — enough to have crushed the weakened fee if properly handled. he inquired the cause of the disturbance, and then permitte

The Bible was printed in Glasgow by Alston, 1848, in raised Roman characters, upper case. It was comprised in nineteen volumes. GalGall's alphabet, Edinburgh, 1826, was a modified Roman, but in the process of simplification attained a certain resemblance to some old characters, among which may be cited the Punic, Oscan, and Greek. He published a book in this character in 1826, and the Gospel of St. John in 1829-34. Gall is regarded as the principal promoter ofGall is regarded as the principal promoter of the art in Britain. He afterward modified the character of his type, and published a number of other books of the New Testament.

delivered, the paper-frame is moved along one space, so that the next selected letter is impressed in proper succession. When the end of the line is reached, the paper-frame is fed upward, at right angles to its former motion, so as to open up a new space for another line of characters. The frame is also moved back in its former path so as to bring the initial point of the new line opposite to the opening at which the letters are presented. See printing for the blind, pages 1794, 1795. Gall's apparatus, for enabling the blind to write, consisted of a frame on which the paper was placed, a cover with bars to guide the lines, which are written from the bottom upward, and of small stamps with the letters formed of common pins, which are pricked through the paper and read on the opposite side.

Here he devoted himself to the study of medicine, and became the pupil, and subsequently the associate of Dr. Gall, then established as a physician at Vienna, and whose attention had long before this been deeply engaged in the investigation of what was afterwards commonly kno improvements of Spurzheim was to entitle it Phrenology, or the doctrine of the mind. It was at Vienna, in 1800, that he first attended a private course which Dr. Gall had repeated during the four preceding years, in order to explain to I. select audience his new theory. The dissection of the brain itself still remained imperfk especially the anatomical department. From that time, in their public as well as private demonstrations of the brain, Spurzheim always made the dissections, and Gall explained them to the audience. The great interest excited by these lectures roused the fears of the government of Austria; and an imperial decree, which prohib
