ow, given as usual by Hill, fell first on Miles, who promptly repelled the assailants. In a second attack they were again repulsed, with heavy loss. But Hill was determined to capture the works, and he ordered Heth's division to do so at all hazards. That commander then .concentrated a powerful artillery fire on the Nationals, and this was followed by a storming force, which, by desperate charges, succeeded in breaking Miles's line, and in capturing the batteries of McKnight, Perrin, and Sleeper. Hancock then ordered Gibbon to retake the works and guns; but his efforts to do so failed. Miles rallied a part of his broken column (Sixty-first New York), and by desperate fighting recovered some of the lost ground and McKnight's guns. At the same time Gibbon was assailed by some dismounted cavalry and driven, when the pursuit was checked by a flank fire. The Nationals retreated to a rear line, where the troops had been rallied, and when night fell Hancock withdrew from Reams's Stati

e was nothing like panic or fear. No bad conduct is reported on the part of any corps — on the contrary, every soldier was on his best behavior. The artillery had by this time got in position. Porter's First Massachusetts on the left, with Lieut. Sleeper's section facing the works on the heights, Capt. Platt's battery, (Co. D, Second artillery, regulars,) on the right, and Hexamer's New-Jersey in the centre. Other artillery in the reserve. The batteries were supported by the Twentieth Massahe Jersey men a free entry. Their cheers announced to the artillerists in the field below the success of our troops, and the firing ceased. An hour later a corps of infantry was seen marching by the house near the battery on the left, and Lieut. Sleeper sent two shells after them by way of a parting salute, the last going through the building. The battle was over and the field was ours. But it was not supposed that we were to be left in quiet repose, and therefore the battery horses were i

s (Fig. 6942) is designed for cutting a continuous strip from a circular block of wood or ivory, which is held between two revolving mandrels on a carriage, which has an intermittent upward feed previous to each successive cut of the circular saw, which is hung from a carriage having a longitudinal forward and return movement. The saw is accompanied by a guide which facilitates the action of the saw and conducts away the severed strip. Stedman's veneer-cutting machine. In Parker and Sleeper's machine (Fig 6943), the block d is secured by bolts to a vertically reciprocating carriage e, and is drawn downward to be presented to the action of the knife a, which is preceded by a presser-bar b, bearing firmly against the wood, so as to prevent ripping or tearing. The horizontally reciprocating carries the knife and presser-bar is advanced forward previous to each cut a distance equal to the thickness of the slice to be cut, and after the cut is by a cam movement moved backward suff
