he wagons were crossing the river, which was already fordable, notwithstanding the recent heavy rainfalls. The rear-guard was still out, having an occasional bout with the enemy. [See map of the field, p. 430.] The Columbia Pike bisected the works, which at that point were built just in front of the Carter house, a one-story brick dwelling west of the pike, and a large gin-house on the east side. Between the gin-house and the river the works were partly protected in front by a hedge of Osage orange, and on the knoll, near the railroad cut close to the bank, were two batteries belonging to the Fourth Corps. Near the Carter house was a considerable thicket of locust trees. Except these obstructions, the whole ground in front was entirely unobstructed and fenceless, and, from the works, every part of it was in plain sight. General Cox's division of three brigades, commanded that day, in order from left to right, by Colonels Stiles and Casement and General Reilly, occupied the gr

tes on the 3d of July, with a little army numbering about twenty-seven hundred men, with four pieces of artillery and a long baggage-train. The day was intensely hot. The commander was mounted on an iron-gray horse, accompanied by his body-guard, composed of ten German butchers of St. Louis, who were noted for their size, strength, and horsemanship, and were all well mounted and heavily armed with pistols and sabers. He reached an important ferry on the Grand River, a branch of the Osage, in Henry County, on the 7th, July. where he was joined by three thousand troops from Kansas, under Major Sturgis. The whole force crossed the river, by means of a single scow, by ten o'clock on the 8th. In the mean time, two companies of cavalry, who crossed on the evening of the 7th, had pushed forward to gain the ferry on the Osage, twenty-two miles ahead. Near that point, in the midst of a dense forest, the main army reached the river in the afternoon of the 9th, when they were stirred by int

oat Island, Newport Harbor, for the purpose of instruction in their use and management on board vessels specially constructed for this object. See torpedo-boat. No less than 18 United States vessels were destroyed through the agency of torpedoes during the late war. One was blown up, but not destroyed. Of these were the monitors Patapsco and Tecumseh, at Charleston and Mobile Bay respectively; the iron clads Cairo and Baron de Kalb, in the Yazoo River; the iron-clads Milwaukee and Osage, in the Blakely River. In the case of stationary submarine torpedoes, the operator must know the position of each, and be provided with means for determining when a vessel approaches within its range. For this purpose instruments for measuring angles are employed, or the torpedo itself is provided with devices for indicating the proximity of a ship. Experiments are now being made at Portsmouth, England, on torpedoes of the latter class. A network of these is connected by insulated wi
