have died of starvation. Now, however, that we have possession of the river, the men are fully supplied, but the poor horses and mules are still suffering. A day or two more will, I trust, enable us to provide well for them also. Two steamboats are plying between this and Chattanooga, and one immense wagon train is also busy. Supplies are coming forward with a reasonable degree of rapidity. The men appear to be in good health and excellent spirits. November, 12 We are encamped on Stringer's ridge, on the north side of the Tennessee, immediately opposite Chattanooga. This morning Colonel Mitchell and I rode to the picket line of the brigade. The line runs along the river, opposite and to the north of the point of Lookout mountain. At the time, a heavy fog rising from the water veiled somewhat the gigantic proportions of Lookout point, or the nose of Lookout, as it is sometimes designated. While standing on the bank, at the water's edge, peering through the mist, to get a

ich the exterior is painted as soon as the timber is perfectly seasoned; the seasoned checks cemented, and other exposed points protected, so as almost completely to secure the timber from the effects of the weather and preserve it from premature decay. Bridges built, as they often are, of inferior timber, with little or no mechanical skill and of light proportions, may eke out from eight to fifteen years, according to circumstances and the care bestowed in repairs. Trestle bridges, costing on an average, and aside from their foundation masonry, about eight dollars a lineal foot for single track, are found to hold out for about six years only. Stringer bridges --large timber girders supported at the ends by masonry and at intermediate points by braces below, resting upon the abutments — cost about five dollars a running foot, and appear to last about eight years. All these estimates are irrespective of the contingency of fire, to which all wooden structures are constantly exposed.

two months. A brief paragraph suffices to dispose of an important case, and it is fortunate, considering that economy of space is desirable in these last times, that all the fashions of old England have not been transmitted to this day and generation. During the time of the "Long Parliament," under Cromwell, it was common among the most fanatical of the fathers of New England Puritanism to adopt scriptural names, some of them consisting of several words of a favorite text. We subjoin the names of a jury said to have been empaneled in Sussex, England, which presents a fair sample of the names of that period, and may serve to amuse the reader: Accepted Trevor, Redeemed Compton, God Reward Smart, Earth Adams, Kill Sin Pimple, Be Faithful Joiner, Fight the Good Fight of Faith White, Hope for Bending, Meek Brewer, Faint Not Hewitt, Make Peace Heaton, Stand Fast on High Stringer, Called Lower, Return Spelman, Fly Debate Roberts, More Fruit Fowler, Weep Not Billing, Graceful Hurding.
