nt overtook him. On the following morning he marched on to Greysville, on the East Chickamauga, where he found Palmer and his command, who, on the previous evening, had struck a rear-guard under General Gist, and captured three of his guns and some prisoners. There Sherman halted, and sent Howard to destroy a large section of the railway which connected Dalton with Cleveland, and thus severed the communication between Bragg and Burnside.

He also made stereotype-plates from the same substance, the mold being obtained in the above manner, and the plate formed under pressure while heated. Stereotype-mold drying-press (paper process). Iron electrotypes were made by Klein, a Russian, and the process patented in the United States, September 29, 1868. See also Scientific American, November 18 and November 27, 1868. In Joyce's process for obtaining plates in relief from intaglio molds, patented July 14, 1874, a smooth plate of iron, such as is used in the clay process of stereotyping, is covered with a thin layer of suitable composition, ordinary thin clay and pulverized plaster. When dry, the design or writing is cut into the composition by means of pointed or sharp-edged graving-tools, so as to expose the face of the plate at those parts which are to show black in the print.
