Gift says: Dave MacRyerson for his familiarity with the country, Mackenzie for his personal devotion to General Johnston, and for the possession of every quality to fit him for such an enterprise. Gift says: Dave Mackenzie was one of the best scouts in America, and one of the coolest and bravest men in the world.

Their loss was: enlisted men killed, twelve; wounded, fifteen; missing, forty; making a total of ninety-seven enlisted men. I also regret to record the death of Col. I. M. Tucker, and probably Major Ryerson, both of whom were left upon the field; also Captain Danforth, mortally wounded, and Lieuts. Plewitt, Root and Bogert, severely wounded, and Lieut. Callan missing. They, however, sustained themselves most gallantly, and proved their courage against superior numbers. The fate of the Fourth regiment, Col. Simpson, one of my most efficient regiments, as regards officers and men, was most painful. At the moment when victory seemed wavering in the balance, an aid of Gen. McClellan took t

The apparatus may be similar to the Bessemer. Ryerson, August 14, 1866. The ores are heated in a muffle in the presence of a current of air; behind each muffle is a passage in which binoxide of nitrogen is generated, which mixes with the air and sulphurous acid passing from the muffles; the mixture is driven by fans into receivers in company with a steam-jet. The receivers are charged with ore previously desulphurized in the muffles. The sulphurous acid is converted into sulphuric acid, and combines with the base metals in the receiver; the
