revailed in all quarters. Danville, now the temporary seat of Government, would have been guarded with the utmost care, in order to tranquillize Mr. Davis, had not the enemy's movements, since the fall of Richmond, required the presence of all our available forces with General Johnston. This was explained to the President by a despatch from General Beauregard, dated Greensboroa, April 5th, 1865. The greatest energy was now used to hurry on the returned troops of Hood's army coming from Chester. Fifteen hundred of them had left that place on the 6th, on their way to Smithfield. And there being, in appearance, no further immediate danger threatening Greensboroa, General Beauregard, upon inquiring whether he should remain there and await other developments, received the following answer: near Smithfield, April 6th, 1865. General G. T. Beauregard: It is not necessary to remain longer. No news from General Lee. J. E. Johnston. General Beauregard consequently returned

ch these and the circuit-wheels make a revolution are automatically adjusted, so that equal intervals shall elapse between the striking of each tap of the signal, which denotes the units, tens, or hundreds, as the case may be; the gearing then ensures a complete revolution of the circuit-wheel; the remaining part of the signal, if it consists of more than one place of figures, is struck in a similar way, and the operation is continuously repeated until the regulator-wheel is displaced. Chester's fire-alarm repeater. Re-peat′ing–cir′cle. A reflecting-instrument, on the principle of the sextant, for measuring angular distances. The image of one of the observed objects, after being reflected from a mirror on a pivoted arm and again from a fixed mirror, is brought into coincidence with the other seen by direct vision; the apparent angular distance is thus doubled, and the graduations of the circle, which are continued all the way around its limb, thus embrace 720° of are.

it was nearly the end of October before the troops were ready to move. About the twenty-sixth, the army commenced to cross at Harper's Ferry, and by the sixth of November the advance upon the enemy was begun. On the night of the seventh, therefore, when the order came relieving him from the command, McClellan's advance guard was actually engaged with the enemy. I had already learned that Longstreet was immediately in our front, near Culpepper, while Jackson and Hill's forces were near Chester's and Thornton's Gap, west of the Blue Ridge. McClellan had formed the plan of attempting to divide the enemy, with the hope of forcing him to battle, when it was believed, an easy victory would be achieved. At this juncture, however, and when the army was in an excellent condition to fight a great battle, when officers and men were enthusiastic in their hopes of being able soon to strike an effective blow, McClellan was removed, and Stanton had, at last, accomplished his revenge, Not o

m Strasburg in pursuance of orders from the War Department on the sixteenth of May, to protect the town of Front Royal and the railroads and bridges between there and Strasburg. By the road, the distance between these towns is about fourteen miles. The picturesque town of Front Royal nestles at the foot of high hills, which tower abruptly above it on almost every side. To the east runs the Blue Ridge, over whose summits, by winding and steep pathways, roads lead through the gaps known as Chester and Manassas into the valleys of eastern Virginia. About one mile and a half north of Front Royal, in a direct line with Winchester, the two branches of the Shenandoah unite into the single stream that pours its waters into the Potomac at Harper's Ferry. The pike road from Front Royal to Winchester crosses both Forks of the river,--the South Fork at a distance of one mile and a quarter from the town, the North Fork about one mile further on. At the two Forks there were two bridges standi
