ched Blackville that day, with Geary's division of the Twentieth Corps, and reported the Fourteenth Corps (General Jeff. C. Davis's) to be following by way of Barnwell. On the 10th I rode up to Blackville, where I conferred with Generals Slocum and Kilpatrick, became satisfied that the whole army would be ready within a day, and accordingly made orders for the next movement north to Columbia, the right wing to strike Orangeburg en route. Kilpatrick was ordered to demonstrate strongly toward Aiken, to keep up the delusion that we might turn to Augusta; but he was notified that Columbia was the next objective, and that he should cover the left flank against Wheeler, who hung around it. I wanted to reach Columbia before any part of Hood's army could possibly get there. Some of them were reported as having reached Augusta, under the command of General Dick Taylor. Having sufficiently damaged the railroad, and effected the junction of the entire army, the general march.was resumed on

The scene was much the same when this was a point of eneighboring farmers to land their corn, which they brought to be ground.

loop, which is cast off, as shown at needle 3. Presently the needle commences to rise again, as its turn of work recurs, and, as it does so, as shown at needle 4, the loop lying in the hook slips down the shank, capsizes the latch t, and falls over it into the depression in the shank, as shown at needle 1. This is one round of work for a needle. Knitting by machinery is a rapid repetition of these motions. Knitting-machine needles are made in machines by which the wire is reduced. In Aiken's machine the blanks are clamped in the arbors and brought singly between the grooved rest and rotating cutter, and are reduced by the cutter, which turns in a longitudinal plane, the arbors rotating meanwhile. After the blank has been reduced, it is drawn back from between the rest and cutter, the arbor-wheel is unlocked from the spring detent-pin, and another blank brought into position. In another machine, for making the tongues of knitting-needles, the machine first farms the bowl an
