ily-armed vessels of war with wretched river steamers manned by Texan cavalrymen. His principal reason for visiting Brownsville was to settle about the cotton trade. He had issued an edict that half the value of cotton exported must be imported in goods for the benefit of the country (government stores). The President had condemned this order as illegal and despotic. The officers on Magruder's Staff are a very goodlooking, gentlemanlike set of men. Their names are-Major Pendleton, Major Wray, Captain De Ponte, Captain Alston, Captain Turner, Lieutenant-Colonel McNeil, Captain Dwyer, Dr. Benien, Lieutenant Stanard, Lieutenant Yancy, and Major Magruder. The latter is nephew to the General, and is a particularly good-looking young fellow. They all live with their chief on an extremely agreeable footing, and form a very pleasant society. At dinner I was put in the post of honor, which is always fought for with much acrimony-viz., the right of Mrs. After dinner we had numero

d their position on the night before. Several hundred prisoners, twenty-five hundred sick and wounded in the hospitals, a large amount of stores, and a considerable number of wounded on the field, fell into our hands. Here, also, some of our own prisoners were retaken, among whom was the gallant Colonel Lamar, of Anderson's brigade, captured by the enemy in the battle of Goulding's Farm. I sent the prisoners to Richmond, in charge of Captain G. P. Turner, of the Marine corps, and placed Major Wray, of my staff, who had been of great service to me during the action, in charge of the enemy's wounded, the hospital and public property. Our loss was some four hundred, killed and wounded, whilst I estimate that of the enemy to be not less than three thousand, killed and wounded--General Semmes reporting not less than four hundred dead in front of his brigade alone. In this engagement, which was very obstinate and well contested, that brilliant and gallant soldier, General Kershaw, and

The cut shows the bag overboard, and about to be sunk to the bottom by means of the pole. Ba-gasse′ Dry′er. Bagasse is crushed cane as it comes from the mill, deprived, to a great extent, of its juice and saccharine matter; also of the leaves, which are stripped from it previous to grinding. According to Wray, good mills only extract from 70 to 75 per cent of the saccharine matter which analysis shows to be present in the cane, and the remainder, after the water is evaporated, joins with the fiber and other carbonaceous matters to form a fuel, coal and wood being very expensive in sugar-cane regions.

s Fair in 1851. This machine had a sickle-edged sectional knife, reciprocated by crank and pitman by gear connection to the drive-wheel, on which the frame rested. Spear-shaped fingers gathered the grain, which was laid over to the cutter by a revolving-reel. A divider was used on each end of the platform. The driver and raker had seats on the machine. The gearing and crank were placed forward of the driving-wheel. 1835. Randall had a pair of knife-bars reciprocating past each other. Wray, 1852, had the same. 1836 Briggs and Carpenter combined the reaper and thrasher. Moore and Haskell, the same year. Ridley, in Australia, seven years afterward, did the same, and supposed himself to be the first inventor. Hazard Knowles, the machinist of the Washington Patent Office, invented in 1837 a reaping machine having a scalloped reciprocating cutter; the cutting apparatus jointed to a double arm, the opposite end of which was in turn jointed to the main frame, coincident with t

or the rim of the wheel on which it shrinks in cooling. In Fig. 6476, the tires are laid horizontally in an annular fire-space, and a cover containing escape-flues may be let down upon it to preserve the workmen from the heat and carry off the smoke. In Fig. 6477, the tires are placed upon edge in the annular case, which is turned upon rollers above the fire. Tire-meas′ur-er. An instrument for measuring the circumference of wheels and the length of the developed tires, invented by Wray of Springfield, Ohio, are shown in Fig. 6478. It differs from the ordinary tire-circle in having a supplementary hand b attached to the pointer a, which is fixed, while the hand b may be set so as to allow for the desired lap in welding.

Murder Disclosed. --We published in a paragraph, a week or two ago, stating that the body of an unknown man had been found in the Ogeechee river, near Millen, on the Augusta and Savannah railroad, and that, from shot wounds on his person, it was reasonably supposed that the unfortunate man had been murdered. On investigating the circumstances, it has been discovered that the body was that of a man named Wray, a tobacco dealer, who was known to some of our citizens. It is supposed that he had gone on a fishing excursion with a man from this place, and that the latter murdered him at that time. The accused has been arrested and placed in the Richmond county jail, suspicion having fastened upon him, in consequence of several articles belonging to the deceased having been found in his possession. The arrest took place on Thursday night, in this city, and subsequently a party went down to Millen, for the purpose of having the body disinterred, in order that it might be identif
