of small-arms, and the charging shout of the victors, sufficed to complete the disaster. No part of our army seems to have stopped to breathe until safe under the walls of the fort. Six excellent guns, with their entire equipage, and many small-arms, were among the trophies secured by the victors. The losses of men were about equal--60 killed and 140 wounded on either side. But among the Confederate dead or severely wounded in the decisive charge, were Lt.-Col. Sutton, Maj. Lockridge, Capts. Lang and Heurel, and several lieutenants. Col. W. L. Robards and Maj. Raguet were also wounded, though not mortally. The celerity of the flight precluded the taking of more than half-a-dozen prisoners, among them Capt. Rossel, of the regulars, captured while crossing the river. Fort Craig was still invulnerable; though a flag of truce, dispatched by Canby as he reached its gates, was fondly mistaken for a time by the Texans as bearing a proposition to surrender. It covered an invitation

From Lacy's house to Falmouth, the river was picketed by the 3d Georgia Regiment, under Colonel Walker, and the 8th Florida, under Captain Lang, the latter being on the right, and under the command of General Barksdale. At 2 A.

Next came the Seventeenth Mississippi under Lieutenant-Colonel Fizer, with his right wing commanded by Captain Govan, and reinforced by three companies of th their positions, and had driven the bridge builders from their work in nine separate efforts made to complete it. Most important among the losses, was that of Captain Lang, commanding the 8th Florida, who fell about 11 A. M., severely wounded in the head, after having done gallant and efficient service with his regiment. No one

ply punctured, were reinforced by cloth patches by an English maker. In 1863, Gray of Boston rolled a garrote collar from a single piece of paper, so as to make the standing lappel flare from the neck. He also turned a Byron collar upon a defined curved line, so that the outer portion would have the larger curve, and to avoid puckering the material, and also to provide for the neck-tie. Evan, in the same year, improved the paper for collars by constructing it of long-fibered stock. Lang, in 1866, made paper collars and cuffs in imitation of lace. In the same year, Alden made them of the proper flaring form direct from pulp. Lockwood, in 1869, embossed coarse cotton sized cloth by means of linen cloth under pressure. Paper collars are made in several ways: — 1. They are cut out of piles of sheets, in the same manner as envelopes, by means of a properly shaped knife in a platen press; the resulting blanks are embossed, button-holed, folded, and curved for the neck

t Maine volunteers testified before the Committee on the Conduct of the War, in January, 1865, that it was a very common thing among the lumbermen of Maine to build such dams, and that he had one hundred and fifty men in his regiment who could build just such a dam, a statement which we presume must be taken cum grano salis. The construction of the Red River dam was almost exclusively the work of the army. But little aid or encouragement was rendered by the navy, except by Volunteer Lieutenant Lang-thorne, commanding the Mound City,who assisted in setting the heavy cribs and coal barges. The soldiers labored zealously night and day, in and out of the water, from the thirtieth of April to the twelfth of May inclusive, when the passage of the boats below the upper falls was completed. The dam still remains intact as we left it, and bids fair, if undisturbed, to stand a hundred years — an imperishable monument of American energy, ingenuity, and skill. The opening made by the flood
