of progressively smaller size to the lower end of the series, and are heated by steamjackets. The pans are connected by pipes furnished with stop-cocks. A connected history of the process of manufacturing sugar is given under sugar-manufacturing, and some things are omitted in this to avoid duplication. See also condenser, Degrand, which acts as an evaporator of the sirup poured over it, while it condenses the vapor from the vacuum-pan with which it is charged. See vacuum-pan. The Wetzel pan is heated by steam. It is a long tank with a semi-cylindrical lower portion in which revolves a hollow wheel heated by a constant flow of steam. Drums on the shaft are also full of steam, and are connected by pipes, steam-heated. Revolving slowly, it exposes a considerable surface to and agitates the sirup, which constantly drips off that portion exposed to the air. The Bour pan is somewhat similar, but the revolving, heating surface is made up of steam-heated drums on a shaft, rev

New River at the railroad bridge. We again drove the enemy from the field, burned the bridge, and also the bridge at Central Station. We destroyed a large amount of quartermaster and ordnance stores. The battle, which is called the battle of Cloyd's Net, was fought on the ninth of May. I escaped without a scratch, though under the heaviest fire. Captain Hunter, Lieutenant Seaman, of the Twenty-third Ohio, Captain Channel, of the Twelfth Ohio, Captain Clark, of the Ninety-first Ohio, Captain Wetzel and Lieutenant Jenkins, of the Ninth Virginia, and Colonel Wolworth, of the Fourth Pennsylvania, are among the killed. Captain Williams, of the Twelfth Ohio, was severely wounded, and I fear will not recover. We captured three hundred prisoners. General Jenkins, Lieutenant-Colonels Smith (son of Extra Billy) and Lynches are among the number. After burning the New River bridge, we crossed the river to Blacksburg, and marching through the counties of Pulaski, Montgomery, Monroe, an

M., and at 8:15 (in pursuance of instructions from Lieutenant-General Ewell given me just before daylight), I burned the bridge with my own hands, assisted by an engineer officer, who had placed barrels of tar along it at intervals from shore to shore for that purpose, I never knew his name, having simply found him there to await my orders. This was in the face of the cavalry of General Wetzel's army, who had poured down Fourteenth street in pursuit of Garey. I then marched on and overtook my division on the road to Amelia Courthouse about 2 P. M., that day. Coincidence of Promotion..
