his grove the distance nearly due south to the base of Little Round Top is a mile and a half. A well-defined ridge known as Cemetery Ridge follows this line from Ziegler's for 900 yards to another small grove, or clump of trees, where it turns sharply to the east for 200 yards, then turns south again, and continues in a direct linmitsburg road runs diagonally across the interval between Cemetery and Seminary ridges, crossing the latter two miles from Ziegler's Grove. From Peach Orchard to Ziegler's is nearly a mile and a half. For half a mile the road runs along a ridge at right angles to that of Devil's Den, which slopes back to Plum Run. The angle at t S.

This ridge had been occupied by the Third Corps, which was now directed to prolong C
hort range of the enemy's works, and ordered to keep up a measured but steady fire on his artillery. The practice of the batteries was uncommonly fine. The ranges were accurately obtained, the elevations correctly given, and the ammunition being unusually good, the fire was consequently most effective. It was really entertaining to witness it. The enemy replied spiritedly with musketry and artillery, and his practice with both was good. In the progress of the duel he disabled two gunsin Ziegler's battery. After the disposition above recounted had been made, the commanding General joined me near our most advanced position, on the Franklin pike, examined the posting of the troops, approved the same, and ordered that the enemy should be vigorously pressed and unceasingly harassed by our fire. He further directed that I should be constantly on the alert for any opening for a more decisive effort, but, for the time, to abide events. The general plan of the battle for the preceding d

Cape Sabine just in time to save the survivors, who had to be carried on board. Schley made a report published in House Documents of the 49th Congress and wrote, with J. R. Soley, The rescue of Greely (1885). Evelyn B. Baldwin led the first Ziegler expedition and tells the story in The search for the North Pole (1896), and Anthony Fiala headed the second Ziegler expedition, recorded in his Fighting the Polar ice (1906).

Not only was the outer approach towards the Pole hazardous and difficult, but the mathematical point lay in the midst of a wide frozen ocean with hundreds of miles of barrier ice constantly on the move and frequently splitting into broad leads of open water, interposing forbidding obstacles to progress or to return. One American had set his heart on reaching this inaccessible spot, and after twenty-three years of amazing perseverance, Robert Edwin Peary succeeded, 6 April, 1909, in placing the flag of the United States at the point where all meridians meet u

M. --The steamer Empire City has just arrived from Guyandotte The rebel portion of the inhabitants, it appears, were looking for the attack, and had a supper prepared for the rebel cavalry, who were headed by the notorious Jenkins, and numbered eight hundred. Eight of our men were killed an a considerable number wounded and taken prisoners. The rebel loss is not known. Col. Ziegler's Fifth Virginia regiment, on its arrival fired the town, and the principal part is now in ashes. The rebels left about an hour before the arrival of Col. Ziegier. Brilliant skirmish near Kansas city. Kansas City, Nov. 11. --This morning, at ten o'clock, Col. Anthony, with one hundred and fifty men, was attacked on an open prairie, about ten miles from this place, by six hundred rebels, under the command of. Upton Hayes, and after a desperate struggle the rebels retreated, s
, between Gravier and Natchez sts. Messrs. Folger & Co., occupied three stores fronting on Tehoupitonias and New Levee, through which the fire was soon raging with relentless fury. The firemen were soon on the ground, but could not prevent the fire from extending to the adjoining liquor store of Jonas Pickles, on New Levee st., and to the magnificent store of Messrs. Grieff, Byrnes & Co., on Tehoupitonias st. From thence it extended to the magnificent, unoccupied store of Messrs. Schmidt & Ziegler, in the rear of Grieff, Byrnes & Co. The houses on the opposite side of Natchez were at various times on fire, but the flames there were checked by the exertions of the firemen. Messrs. Folger & Co., had a large stack of goods on hand, as also Messrs. Grieff, Byrnes & Co. We understand that the latter saved part of their books, but lost some $8,000 in greenbacks.--The total less of buildings and other property will fully foot up $500,000. But more tearful than the loss of property wa
