The number actually employed is about 425, about 300 less than were employed say twelve months since. Defection from service in the local forces and losses on the battle-field have thus greatly reduced our force of workmen. By General Order No. 82, <

farm to another were never reliable. Fair to the eye at first, with the rain and the travel of heavy trains, the crust, like rotten ice, gave way, and then horses, mules, and wagons dropped through into sticky mud or quicksands. Magruder had his Confederates on the north shore of the Warwick, and McClellan, with at least 50,000 men of all arms, was working his way toward the obstructions, hoping to reach Yorktown on one highway and pass far beyond it on the other to the Williamsburg Halfway House. My brigade in Richardson's division, Sumner's corps, at last turned back from Warrenton Junction toward Alexandria, Va. We had been four weeks during the stormy March weather in the field without our tents. The men's shoes were spoiled by tramping long distances in slippery, cloggy mud with the constant wetting and drying, and their clothing was much soiled and rent, so we were hoping to halt somewhere long enough to refit. At Bristow Station, a place subsequently renowned, welcome

ten dispatch if it were true that General Brooks' (commanding division in Eighteenth corps) right was turned and a 20-pounder battery lost. General Butler answered, No truth in report. Very soon after this, Butler dispatched Gilmore: Brooks is falling back to second line; Weitzel is also falling back. In a little while, at 9:30 a. m., General Gilmore states that he received a dispatch from Butler informing him that the enemy is pressing around our right; Smith has fallen back to near Halfway house; the enemy is near Dr. Howlett's. You must fall back, press to the right, and get in rear of Smith's corps. He will try to hold his ground until you get in his rear, and clear the road to the intrenchments so that we may get back behind the defenses. Push vigorously. General Butler's heroic soul was in a flame of zeal severe. At 10 a. m. he again dispatched Gilmore to get there at once; the troops at General Ames' old position are forced back. We will lose the turnpike unless you hu

duced an iron of ample strength for the purpose, and the even grain and toughness could be attained by careful rerolling. Besides the larger armories at Richmond and Fayetteville, smaller establishments grew up at Asheville, N. C., and at Tallassee, Ala. The former was the development of a private enterprise undertaken to repair and fit up old arms, by a citizen (Mr. Pullem) resident there, and afterwards as a matter of necessity assumed by the Confederate Government. Most of the machinery was moved before the close of the war to Columbia, S. C., whither, as a place of safety, other arms manufacturing machinery was moved from other points. Tallassee was selected as a good manufacturing point, a large building having been offered to us by the proprietors of the cotton mills there, and some machinery for making pistols moved thither from Columbus, Georgia. A great part of the work of our armories consisted in repairing arms brought in from the battle-field or sent in from the a
