ical spring has coils of decreasing diameter as they approach the center, like the mainspring of a watch. (See movement, Fig. 3246.) The spiral spring is used in Salter's balance and in dynamometers; also in bedstead-springs, as in Fig. 623, page 261. Fig. 5418 shows a double helical bedstead-spring, the coils increasing upwar. Spring-bal′ance. A balance in which the weight of an object is determined from the tension or compression of a spring provided with an index and scale. Salter's spring-balance. In Salter's spring-balance, the spring is spiral and inclosed in a cylindrical box, at whose upper end is a suspending ring. The hook from Salter's spring-balance, the spring is spiral and inclosed in a cylindrical box, at whose upper end is a suspending ring. The hook from which the object to be weighed is suspended is connected by a rod to a piston above the spring, so that the weight has the effect of condensing the spring, a finger on the rod projecting through a long slot in the case and indicating the weight upon a graduated and numbered scale. In Martin's modification, the interior rod is f

nity. In this a technical vocabulary and the ethically neutral symbols of mathematics are a great aid. The period covered by the greater portion of this chapter is too near us to make a just appreciation of its achievement likely at this time. In the main it has been dominated by two interests, the theologic and the psychologic. The history of philosophy has occupied a large portion of American philosophic instruction and writing. But apart from the books of Albee, Husik, Riley, and Salter (mentioned in the bibliography to this chapter) and articles by Lovejoy on Kant, and on the history of evolution, American philosophy has no noteworthy achievement to its credit—certainly nothing comparable to the historical works of Caird, Bosanquet, Benn, or Whittaker, not to mention the great German and French achievements in this field. The development during this period has been to weaken the former and to deepen but narrow the latter and make it more and more technical. For this reaso

but two exceptions, to-wit: Private Childress, of company E, and Private Brooks, company K, each and every man of the regiment proved himself a hero. Hundreds might be mentioned, each of whom, with reason and propriety, might point to his gallant acts and daring deeds, and the Lieutenant-Colonel commanding feels that he cannot call attention to the bearing of a few only of these without doing some share of injustice to those not mentioned, and though he is urged to mention the names of Privates Salter, company I, Kirksey and Barfield, company B, and Barbee, company L, for great and striking gallantry, and does mention them; he feels that he is neglecting others of equal merit. Private Barbee, though a mounted courier acting for MajorGen-eral Hood, entered the ranks of his company (L) and fought through the engagement. At one time he mounted a rock upon the highest pinnacle of the hill, and there, exposed to a deadly raking fire from artillery and musketry, stood until he had fire

ley, Esq., who urged the claims of the school upon the citizens, and gave the pupils some wholesome advice to guide them in future life.--He then introduced Mr. Salter, senior teacher of the school. Under his direction sundry of the scholars declaimed and recited, a declamation on the necessity of resistance, a poem "The Southlantraits, punctuality, decorum in school, and actual progress in learning. The presentation was accompanied with some remarks to the school, &c. After this, Mr. Salter announced the names of such of the boys as had specially distinguished themselves in any study, and quite a lengthy list it was; and then delivered an admirablee ceremony, but one of the larger pupils came upon the platform, opened a box, and took out a large and finely bound copy of the Holy Bible, and presented it to Mr. Salter as a token of esteem and respect for their teacher. The present was a very fine one, and totally unexpected by the recipient, whose feelings well night forbid

He expressed great affection for his wife and children, for whom only he cared to live. In the evening his wife and children visited him, and afterwards Rev. Mr. Salter, Chaplain of the Thirteenth Connecticut regiment, called with the hope of administering some consolation. Mumford received him pleasantly and conversed freelsix or seven years of age. The interview was, of course, extremely affecting, and the prisoner, for the first and only time, broke down and groaned piteously, Chaplain Salter came in, and at the request of Mrs. Mumford engaged in an earnest prayer for the soul of him who would so soon be beyond the knowledge of man. Mumford preservssessed. At a little before ten o'clock, an army ambulance was before the prison door, and, attended by a guard, Mumford was placed in it, accompanied by Chaplain Salter. The procession was then formed, with Captain Magee's company of cavalry in advance, Capt. Stafford and his Deputy Provost Marshals following; then seven com

s: "I glory in pending my batteries from my old fortifications, beginning with this hell-born and hell-bound rebellion, where the traitors forced me to leave off my work of faith, labor, and love. The Federal Court, under Judge Trigg, will convene shortly, and the arbitrary arrests complained of by the traitors will be tender mereles compared with the indictments before that Court." In a lengthy article he says "slavery cannot longer exist in the temperate zone." Charles McChee, Columbus Powell, and Mr. Salter, of Kentucky, have been sent to that State upon a requisition of Gov. Bramlette. Heavy firing reported in the direction of Bull's Gap on Monday. [second Dispatch.] Abingdon, Nov. 19. --The firing reported at Bull's Gap was not at that point, but at Knoxville. There are plenty of rumors afloat of the reoccupation of that city by our forces, but no official confirmation.--Burnside has two regiments of cavalry at Lick Creek, 12 miles below Greenville.

From Tennessee. --A correspondent, willing from Little Tennessee river on the 13th, says: Mr. Salter, who kept the Lamar House, was started for Camp Chase. He escaped near Clinton, and is here at Gen. Wheeler's headquarters. He reports the enemy's entire force at 14,000 men — that they are so much frightened that the mere approach of our troops will stampede them. Twenty thousand hogs are en route from Kentucky for, Knoxville. Five thousand have been collected in East Tennessee and are at Knoxville. One thousand wagons are coming over the mountains, loaded with clothing, &c., for Wheeler's boys. Burnside's Assistant Adjutant-General wrote a letter to his quartermaster in Kentucky, stating that they had only ten days rations on hand, and God only knew where the next would come from. This letter is in the hands of Gen. Wheeler. Gen. Vaughn is with Gen. Wheeler. Troops in fine spirits. Southern people hail our return with delight. Be of good cheer —
