family. At the time of the Baltimore outbreak he commanded a cavalry company, which he immediately put under arms until, like so many others, he found Hicks had betrayed the State, and he came to Virginia. No braver, or more gallant gentlemen than these have died for Southern Independance. With them fell six or eight more dead, Color-Sergeant Doyle was shot down, Color-Corporal Taylor caught the colors, but soon went down, the next Corporal to him caught them, but instantly falling, Corporal Shanks, Company H, seized them, lifting them arms length above his head, carried them safely through the fight. Colonel Johnson had been that afternoon to see General Jackson, and was in full uniform, rather an unusual sight in that army where few officers wore any sign of rank. As the regiment charged, his horse was shot in the shoulder; then directly received in his forehead a ball, intended for his rider, and as he fell, another in the pommel of the saddle. His uniform doubtless procur

ure of the tool is placed a little below the center of the lathe, to give the angle of separation or penetration. After the tool has been ground away, in the act of being sharpened, it is raised up until its points touch a straight edge applied on the line m m of the stock. This denotes the proper hight of center, and also the angle to which the tool is intended to be hooked, namely, 10°. Each ring makes four or five cutters, and one stock may be used for several diameters of thread. In Shanks's arrangement for cutting screws in a lathe, a front and a back chaser are employed, so that one may cut while the slide traverses in one direction, and the other during the return-movement, p represents the front and t the back tool, which are mounted on one slide e e, and all three are moved as one piece by the handle x.

Cogswell or Evans, both having been old friends in the old army, was the more overcome at the meeting. Evans had invited his unwilling guest to join him in a convivial draught of peach brandy, and Cogswell was saying to his conqueror, I tell ye, Shanks, sha'n't take my parole on any such terms; I'll see you damned first, Shanks. General Evans had offered to release Colonel Cogswell if he would sign a parole not to fight again during the war, and this the. Colonel was refusing to do. Owing to tShanks. General Evans had offered to release Colonel Cogswell if he would sign a parole not to fight again during the war, and this the. Colonel was refusing to do. Owing to the peach brandy, the refusal was given in strong terms. Colonel Lee also, but more politely, rejected Evans's proffer. So our prisoners went to Richmond, to be afterwards exchanged. If Colonel Lee could have found anything to float on, or if the raft which he and his officers tried to buckle together with their belts would have floated, they might have escaped without trouble. The loss in killed in this fight has never been accurately ascertained; a large number were shot in the river while

the battles of Second Manassas and Sharpsburg. In the latter fight he commanded his division. Thereafter his service was mainly rendered in South Carolina. In 1863 he moved to the support of Johnston against Grant. After the fall of Richmond he accompanied President Davis as far as Cokesbury, S. C. A year later he engaged in business at Charleston, but was mainly occupied as a teacher at Midway, Ala., until his death at that place, November 30, 1868. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has written of him: Shanks Evans, as he was called, was a graduate of the military academy, a native South Carolinian, served in the celebrated old Second Dragoons, and was a good type of the rip-roaring, scornall-care element, which so largely abounded in that regiment. Evans had the honor of opening the fight (First Manassas), we might say fired the first gun of the war. Brigadier-General Samuel W. Ferguson Brigadier-General Samuel W.

irmish with a small party of the rebels, killed two and captured six, and also several muskets and small arms, abandoned by the rebels in their flight. Arrested as a spy. Lieutenant L. Wise, a nephew of Governor Wise, was arrested by Col. Shanks, in his camp, near Calhoun, Ky., some days since. He had come into camp under the pretext of wishing to sell a horse. Letters from rebels, conclusively proving him a spy, were found upon his person. While in prison at Owensboro' Colonel ShaColonel Shanks, by keeping an eye upon him, succeeded in securing a letter in cypher, written to him by Governor Wise, and addressed to the care of Selby Lee, Wheeling. He was sent to Louisville in irons, and will be treated as a spy.-- Washington Star. Capt. M. F. Maury. An entertainment was given in New York last week to Gen. McClellan.
