THE RECENT BATTLES AROUND
CHATTANOOGA,
Truthful Account Given by -a Staff' Officer
Who took Part iu Them:
We give below an impartial account of the details
Of the recent battles around Chattanooga, which
will find interest in the public minds, after the many
conflicting narrations published. It is given us by a
staff officer Who has just reached the city :
Bragg was overwhelmingly defeated,and driven into
the heart of Georgia, by a continuous aeries of
Hart battles, commencing with the storming of
Lookout Mountain, November 24th, and ending
with the battle of "Ringgold," or "Taylor's Ridge,"
November 27th. In this grand move, the army ope
rated in three divisions t the right wing under
Hooker, the left under bherman, and the centre
under Granger and Palmer.
Sherman's adenoma had reached Lookout Valley
(where Booker's command lay) on the 19th. fits
troops crossed the river at Brown'. Ferry without
delay, passed the rear of Chattanooga, and took
position opposite the mouth of Chickamauga, thug
forming a left wing to our army. Here they were
successively massed during three days, as they
arrived. •
On the 22d, one of Sherman's divisions under OS
terhaus, had not come up
The 11th Corps was detached from Hooker and
sent to Sherman ; and .osterhaus, who arrived on
the 233, was assigned to Hooker. During these
changes of position, Geary's division of the 12th
Corps occupied the entire front line of Hooker's com
mand in Lookout Valley.
Towering 3,000 feet aboveithe valley rises Lookout
Mountatc, the highest, by far, in this mountain re
gion. On its side, Among the rooks, 2,000 feet above
us, were encamped Walthall's and •Churohill's
bri
gades of Walker's division, Hardee'. corps. Two
more brigades lay on the summit a mile from the
rocky precipice which crowns the point of Lookout.
Around the brow of the mountain, high upon its
side, overlooking Chattanooga, lay another rebel
division. The position occupied by Walker's troops—
so strong a mountain fastness as to be generally
deemed imoregnable—nad been further improved by
timber slashinge, earthworks and artillery, while
upon the highest 'peak were time king-reap pail,
whose musical shells had long been our daily visi
tors. There, too, was their signal station, from
which they could detect our slightest move
ment, and almost count our men. Not 'a camp,
a bridge, or a road in our lines but could be
closely scanned with the naked eye from Lookout
summit. For many weeks had our army gazed wig
fully upon that cloud-capped summit, and coveted its
possession ; but "to storm Lookout" was an idea
only uttered to be laughed at. But Hooker, who
had driven Longstreet out of Lookout valley, and
saved Chattanooga to our brave army, told General
Thomas ho could take the mountain, as well as the
valley, with Geary's division, and to him the
tract was given. .
At 3 A. AI., Nov. 24th, Gen. Geary received orders
to take his division at daylight, cross Lookout creek
two and a half miles above its mouth, and storm the
mountain. Whitaker'. Brigade, of Ist Division,
14th Army Corps, reported. by order, to Qen. Geary,
to support the storming column. A brigade from
the 4th Corps, under 001. Gross, was placed near the
mouth of the creek, to divert the attention of the
enemy by a feint of crossing. If necessary Gross
was to cross at that point, and support Gen. Geary , a
storming column. Osterbaus' Division was held in
reserve near the mouth of the creek, to be brought
up also as a support at the critical moment, Filially
six pieties of artillery, under Major BeseidlG,
Geary's chief 'of artillery, were brought to bear
upon the rebel position.
General Geary moved at daylight, and threw a
narrow foot-bridge across the *reek. On this his
troops crossed on the double-quick—the 2cl brigade
(Cobham's) leading ;. Greene's old brigade, the 3d,
commanded by Colonel Ireland, followed ; next
came Whitaker's, and then Can d y ' s. Straight up
the mountain side the troops climbed, where the
ascent was so steep that hand, as well as feet must
be used to make their way. Above their heads, on
the rook-bound summit fluttered the red signal flag
of the enemy, apparently in violent agitation. But
few shots were exchanged until the rebel plakets
were captured, and Cobham, having reached the
precipice of rook at the summit, changed direction
and advanced in line on the flank of the rebel camp.
Ireland, on his left, did the same—the two brigades
forming a line of bayonets from the precipice to the
valley, and sweeping through the roads, over rocks,
down ravines, and up again on the other side, right
onward, without a moment's pause, into the rebel
camp.
The 1024 New :York was in advance as skirmish-
ere, and the first who fell was its brave, high-souled
young major, Gilbert M. Elliott. The lieutenant
colonel, Robert Avery, lost a leg, and the line press
ed on to avenge the lose ' and came suddenly into a
rebel camp. .. Put down those guns," our boys shout
ed, and tile rebels,/Ike disciplined soldiers, obeyed
the order and wen t to the rear, guided by three or
four blue coats. By , this time the two brigades
were up with their skirmishers, and all pressed for
ward together, the mountain slides echoing with
their cheer's, which were taken up by Whitaker's
and Candy's men, who, forming the second line,
were trying hard to come up with those in advance.
The main body of the two rebel brigades, secure,
as they thought, in their stronghold, awaited our
troops. Onward our two brigades pressed, poured
in a deadly volley, and followed it up with glittering
steel. The rebel line broke, and never rallied, for
no time was given them. Down in the valley the
reserve troopelsiew the glorious charge, and sent up
cheer after cheer, answered by the boys on the,
mountain heights an they pressed on after the flying •
foe. In vain the enemy brought' hp thele4eserveff,
1
and tried to check the charge. Prisoners were'
quickly "gobbled up," hundreds at a time, and sent
to the rear. On aim through the rebel earthworks,
and around the brow of the mountain, the lines
swept on in the clear sunlight, the clouds beneath
them. Turning the sharp ridge at the mountain
brow, they come in sight of the thousands of troops
1 in Chattanooga, who, collected on every hill in that
place ingreat crowds, sent up a tremendous 'cheer
that echoed from mountain to mountain and back
again, as they ;saw that resistless charge above the
cloud. Never was such a relight in war before of
troops, two thousand feet from the valley they left,
sweeping forward in the battle charge like dark,
blue, angry storm-clouds themselves.
Here, on the face Of the mountain overlooking
Chattanooga, were strong earthwork'', and the
rebels seemed for a moment to think of holding
them, but it was only for a moment, for our troops
were above them, and into them, and through them,
and had captured their men and their works and
their cannon without giving them notice.
Osterhaus' division and Gross' brigade had
crossed Lookout creek, and were now seen climbing
up the mountain side. Ireland and Cobhem pushed
right on, around the face of the mountain,
keeping
their right close up to the rocky Clink, and followed
by Whitaker and Candy.
The 60th New York volunteers first reached the
cannon in the works, and placed their flags upon
them. Their major, Thomas, was severely wounded
in this part of the charge. From the summit of the
cliffs, fifty feet Overhead, thundered, in alum- spite,
rebel cannon, but the depression was too great, they
could not strike our men. Hundreds of their sharp
shooters on those Mille kept up a galling fire on our
troops. Our sharpshooters quickly got to work, and
returned them as good as they sent. This musketry '
lire, from the cliffs, among our lines, was kept up
until late in the night, by the bright moonlight. On
this brow of the mountain, Whitaker's and Candy's
brigades were halted, and placed in position, while
Ireland and Cobham pushed on past the " White'
House," (Longstreet's former headquarters.) Here
they were ordered to halt form a strong line, and
strengthen their position with stones and logs.
GMT'S' first troops had crossed Lookout Ureek at
Bee A. M. They reached the White House at 1234
.They had captured on their way two thousand pri
soners, thousands of small arms, two brass cannon,
and the enemy's fortifications, and had opened the
Old stage road and railroad to Chattanooga. Enough
for one day. Osterhaus soon came up, and forfaed
On Geary's left, connecting directly with Thomas'
main airiny. Gross' brigade came up from below,
and Carline's, from Chattanooga, reported to Gen.
Geary, and with troops from Candy's and Whitta
ker's brlgades,L relieved Ireland's and Cobham's
wearied men. Several attacks by the enemy were
made on our lines on the mountain during the after
noon, but were quickly repulsed. Prildnell and fie-
I serters continued to come in all the day. Still close
I overhead, with fifty feet of inaccessible precipice be
tween us and them, were rebel cannon and rebel
sharpshooters. Gen. Hooker directed Gen. Geary
to " - strengthen his position, and hold it against
everything ;"madding, " the enemy will probably eva
cuate the summit during the night."
As night came on the air became excessively cold.
.Our troops, without blankets or overcoats, built
large fire,, and spent a sleepless night around them.
''Gen. Hooker, Gen. Geary, and their officers of staff,
were busy through the whole night. Troops must
be arranged„-the position strengthened, and large
supplier of ammunition brought up, and issued to
the men before dawn. Neither horse nor mule
could climb the mountain
to do without burdens. All was done however.
The ammunition was brought to the foot or the
mountain in wagons, and carried in the peakets of
the men up those 2,000 feet of weary ascent, And
issued in full supply to the Loo'' before break of
day.
Daylight came, and all war quiet on the moun
tain. The enemy bad not fired a shot since mid
night. They must have gone was the conjecture,
and Gen. Geary directed men to scale the cliffs, and
solve the problem. The stars and stripetof the Bth
Kentucky were taken by one man, and the "white
star" flag of Geary's Division by another. By the
help of ladders (planed there by the enemy), roots,-
twigs, they reached the summit, the stars and stripes
A few moments ahead. The enemy had gone, and
as the old flag of one country, one army, and
one navy, Mated triumphantly from that
rook the Whole , army on the mountain and
in the valley seemed to catch the sight for
which they were gazing into the clouds, and
such cheers as rose were never heard before. From
major generals to drummer-boys, all were wild with
excitement. A moment more, and the "bonnie
blue flag with the single star," not of the rebel host,
but of that veteran division who had stormed and
carried Lookout, stood side by side with the stars
and stripes, and Geary's brave boys, who had fol
lowed that flag on the Potomac, the Shenandoah,
the Rappahannock, the Rapidan, in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, and now in Tennessee, were prouder
than ever before, when, as they thought of Wau
hatehie, they stood around their general on Lookout.
There, too, among them on that mountain, was
Hooker, his straight, soldierly form swaying with
the excitement as he cheered with the rest, and his
keen, gray eye, beaming with exultation and con
gratulation to his troops, as they gave three limes
three for "'Uncle Ale."
A garrison was placed on top of the mountain,
and a signal station established,and a reconnoitering
party sent out along the mountain. Your coerce.
pondent accompanied the party. Some two hundred
atragglers from the rebel army were picked up,and it
was ascertained that their main force had evaluated
during the night in utmost haste, leaving their
campy, supplies, and most of baggage and stores.
At Sum mertown, one mile from the point of Look
out, we found' twenty thousand rations of excellent
hard bread, and quite a quantity of meal and flour.
A
snort distance beyond were the °BMW of three
brigades. The haste with which they had been
abandoned was proved by the tents left standing, and
the quantity thes clothing, and baggage left
there. From co mfortable appearance of the
camps, and the quantity of supplies and clothing, I
judged that the enemy had expected to remata in
that position a consideraole time, and probably to
winter there.
Such is the history of the capture of Lookout
Mountain, an achievement which, in its nature, has
no parallel in the history of war.
When before did troops, in plain sight of the ens
my, cross a deep creek, guarded by the foe, and
storm successfully a mountain 3,000 feet high, up
whose aides man could barely climb, driving every
thing before them, and this without a single repulse,
or even pause in the ethereal .
Hooker's plans, with Gamy as the executive,
have proved 'brilliant successes throughout. Never
Were two generals better suited to each other, or to
the troops they command.
BATTLE OF MISSION RIDGE.
Nov. 25th—Just as our banner waved over Look
out, on the morning of this day, Sherman, having
crossed near the mouth of South Chickamauga,
opened the attack on the rebel right, fulleight miles
distant from Hooker'. position. The fighting .on
that flank was bard, and lasted ..the entire day.
About 10 A. M. Hooker received order, to march
his force from -Lookout Mountain, seeress Chatta

nooga Valley had been withdrawn during the night
to Mission Ridge, and there his whole army, by this
morning, was in position tn nearly a straight line,
his right resting On the Tennessee river t and his left
reaching six miles beyond on the ridge. Sher.
man, an I have said, attacked Bragg's right
early in the morning. About noon, Granger and
Palmer attacked the centre. By 3P. M. Hooker,
With Geary's, Osterhaus ', and Cruft's divisions, had
crossed the 'Valley, and attacked their left. This
attack was made by Geary's, Cruft's, and Oster
haus' divisions. Cruft gained the top of the ridge
to the left of the rebel lines, and attacked them on
their Sank, while Geary charged up the aide of the
ridge in their front. This simultaneous attack of
the two divisions broke the rebel left, and they fled
in great confusion into the Chickamauga valley be
yond, leaving an entire brigade prisoners in Hooker's
hands. General J. C. Breokinridge barely escaped
capture. His son, a lieutenant of his stall, was
among the prisoners taken..
The attack of Granger and Palmer on the enemy's
centre had proved equally anceennil, While Sher
man, after a day of hard fighting, had UMW their
right. By sunset' of the 25th Miseion Ridge, with
thousands of prisoners and a large quantity of can
non and small arms, was in our possession, and the
enemy was in rapid retreat, with shattered columns,
across the Chickamauga.
Of the fighting this day.of the corps under Sher
man, Granger, and Palmer, I cannot speak in detail,
as my observations were confined throughout to the
right wing, under Hooker. I must not be supposed,
therefore, to detract from the gallant deeds of those
troops who carried the enemy's right and centre. I
simply leave them to be told by correspondents Who
know what occurred there.
BATTLE OF RINGGOLD, OR "TAYLOR'S
RIDGE," NOY, 27r0.
Early on the morning of the 26th Hooker was
ordered to march -in the direction of Ringgold, by
Way of Renville, while the other 'corps followed the
route taken by the main army of Bragg in retreat.
At Chickamauga Station, Bragg's ddpdt of supplies,
the enemy had burned their stores and trains. At
numerous other points their camps and trains could
else be seen burning. Hooker moved according to
Order, a - entrant's division of Palmer's corps having
reWbroed his column. All along the route Benin
Chfcluniauga and Pea Vine valleys were•evidenoes
of. tint mite at which Bragg was retreating, in the
shepentif abandoned caissons and wagons. A host
of rebel stragglers were pinked up and sent to.the
rear. The enemy, of course, had destroyed every
bridge, and to rebuild these the pursuing column
had to maker some delay. The troops had been
without rations for twelve- hours, and had passed
two nights on the battle-fields they had won with
out overcoats or blankets, for the most part; but
there were no laggards in the chase. Bridges for
the infantry were thrown anon the West Chicks•
mangik and Pea Vine creeks, as we came to them,
and the horses crossed by swimming.
The only artillery with Hooker was two sections
of Knapp's Penncylgania Battery (10.. pounder Par
rots.) The troops crossed Pea Vine creek during
the afternoon of the nth, but the stream was too
deep to ford, and a bridge for the artillery to cross
was not completed until eight next morning. This
delay, unavoidable, it seem; coat us some valuable
lives at Ringgold.
At dusk on the nth, Hooker's column neared
Greyville. A brigade of Breckiorid,geM command
was close ahead, and not far beyond a large portion
of Bragg's army lay resting near Ringgold. Suddenly
the skirmishers of Johnson's division (which was in
advance) came upon Ferguson's battery, one gun of
Which we had captured the day before. With a vol.
ley and a rousing cheer the skirmishers, who were a
detachment of the 15th United States Infantry,
rushed upon the battery, and without a shot from
the enemy, captured it and eighty prisoners. The
noise gave the alarm to the rebel rear guard, as we
afterwards learned, and they hastily moved on and
joined the main body near Ringgold. The night was
very dark, the country much broken, with narrow
ravines, and before us was the deep stream of East
Chickamauga, and the column bivouacked for the
night within four miles of Ringgold, Johnson'. di
vision taking position at Greyville, and the rest of
the command on the main road from Renville to
Ringgold. At daylight en the 27th, the column
f^ r47; d • Cstc gpll I@ 'g. Geary following,
and 10141 bringing up the reii. .1^
gold our advance came upon the - bly - o - u - ac tines
of Breokinridge's Weeps the night before, and
captured a number of streggiers still lingering
there. Olon the other side of Ringgold - the
railroad passes through a narrow gap in
Taylor's Ridge, which is a continuous range
rather higher and steeper than Mission Ridge,
and running in the same general direction north and
south. Here in the Gap and on the summit of the
ridge, on each side, Ciebureds division was posted
to resist our advance, and enable the main rebel at._
.=my to get well on their way to Dalton, with their
trains and artillery. At A, M., Oaterliaus en
tered the town, and immediately formed his lines
under heavy fire, at the foot or the ridge, and pushed
forward heavy skirmishers. Geary following
dm
medfately, sent his let Brigade, under Col. Creigh
tbn, of the 7th Ohio, some distance to the left of
Osterhaus, with orders to charge up the steep ridge
at a point on the rebel flank, where their line seemed
weak. When he gained the crest, Creighton was to
charge impetuously along the ridge, sweeping every
! thing before him. Creighton executed the move
! me ri t with great rapidity, but the enemy divining
his objectly quickly,' massed a heavy force above
I him and poured a sweeping fire down the slope.
Still the lit Brigade steadily advanced, the 7th Ohio
and 28th Pennsylvania in' front, and the dashing
Creighton foremost of ail.
Their Skirmishers had reached the crest, and
the 7th Ohio, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
Crane, wax within twenty yards of the summit,
when they received a terrible volley from three
sides. Every officer of the 7th, excepting two, fell
there. Creighton and Crane fell dead within a few
_feet of each other. They are the bravest of the
brave—Ruch officers as you cannot replace, and their
loss causes unmated mourning, for all loved and ad- •
mired them. ' The historic 7th fell slowly back,
carrying their wounded and some or their dead
with them. Still the brigade held its posi
tion on the_ slope - of the hill, until withdrawn
by General Geary. After the battle less than one
hundred men, and but two officers, could answer
to the roll-call in the rank of the 7th. The regiment
had tong been the pride of the division. In drill,
discipline, and courage, it was a model, and its
proud flag was inscribed with twenty•five battle.
Yields. Of all its battles, that of. Taylor's Ridge
struck the heaviest blow to the 7th.
While Creighton's brigade, for two hours, was
fighting on the extreme left, Osterhan was not idle.
His entire division was warmly engaged, and handled
with great skill, but they could not force back the
strongly-posted lines of the enemy, who, also, had
a section of artillery in the gap, which poured grape
and schrapaell into our troops. About iiWolook the
enemy, by a combined musketry and artillery fire,
forced back the right of (Methane' division from in
front of the Gap. Quick as a Sash, Hooker detected
the movement, and Ireland's and Cobham's brigades,
from Geary's division, were double. quicked to the
right, and sent the rebels back again, capturing two
battlhfiags, and sustaining the battle on the right
until the close, at one o'clock.
For hours the generals had watched for the ar
rival of Major Reynolds, with his artillery. The
bridge building over Peavine had kept him back, but
now,
at noon, his guns came thundering up, wheeled
into position, and opened on the enemy's artillery.
Two shots silenced their troublesome guns, and they
rumbled hastily away, and were afterwards cap
tured. Then the muzzles of the iliaj or's Perrone were
turned to the crest of the ridge, and beautifully the
shell burst just where they were wanted. The enemy
was evidently withdrawing across the bridge the
other side of the Gap, and, under cover of our artil
lery fire, several regiments of Osterhaus' advanced
and reached the erect, and the battle was over. The
enemy had withdrawn and fired the bridge. Our •
skirmishers went through the clap on the dourde
quick, captured a few prisoners, and extinguished
the fire. During the fight (3ruft's division and
Palmer's corps came up, but were not brought into
action.
Towards the close, General Grant arrived, and
suspended further pursuit. Our army was without
artillery,- and most of Hooker'. men had been
twentrfour hours without rations. The country
between Ringgold and Dalton is broken, and often
miry, and a pursuing army would be at great diead
vantage, pausing beyond Taylor's ridge.
Such is a faithful history of General Hooker's
share in the brilliant battles of the 24th, 2.6 th, and
27th November.
The record is a brilliant one, and fully justifies the
Wisdom OI the selection made by President Lincoln,
When he designated Hooker as tie man to come
from the East to the West, to the relief of our noble
army of the Cumberland.
INCIDENTS.
Before crossing Lookixtt creek, to jtorm the
mountain, General Geary called his star and bri.
gade commanders around him, and after assigning to
each his part, said : "Gentlemen, we must not fail.
I Wend carrying this mountain in true Stonewall

known in the army, and all who knew him loved
him, and mourned as fora brother lost, yet onlygone

ideutenant Colonel Avery, of the same regiment,
lost a leg. At the battle of Chancelloriville, he was,
as supposed, mortally wounded through the mouth
and neck, but, after suffering by his wounds from
May ad until the middle of October, he rejoined his
regiment just before Hooker crossed the Tennessee.

at the storming of Lookout, and fell early in the
action, the bone of his leg shattered by a rifle ball
into twenty pieces. Honor to the brave I For all
such a nation , ' gratitude should provide a full
reward.
When Osterkutus and Geary made their brilliant
charge together on the enemy's lines on Mission
Ridge, Stewart's rebel brigade, penned up between
the two, was captured entire, together with Major
Wilson and Lieutenant Breckinridge, both of Break
inridge's staff. The brigade of prisoners, without
arms, were drawn up in line, and General Hooker,
mounted on a dashing white hone, in company with
Generals Geary and Oaterhaus, end, staffs, rode
down the line, as if on review, while Our own men,
also drawn up in line, cheered vociferously. Some
of the prisoners, especially among the officers of
higher rank, looked proud and chagrined, but there
were many WhO seemed rather better pleased to be
reviewed by a Yankee general than by one of the
Southern nobility.
When Colonel Oreighton, With Ids brother.in-arms,
Lieutenant Colonel Orane, was leading the heroic
7th Ohio in their deadly charge on Taylor's Ridge,
the rebels triumphantly waved the stars and bars in
their face, and but a few paces from them : Boys,

The next moment a ride , ball pierced his brain, and
he fell dead without a quiver. Oreighton sank on
the ground, exclaiming: " My God, there goes

storm of bullets, he wept like a child ; then with
auticlen impulse he sprang up, and threw himself
again into the thickest of the fight on loot with his
men. In less than live Minutes he too fell, a ball
piercing near his heart. As they carried him off, in

The Standard also has the following article •
oWe are now reaping the bitter fruits of 'peace.

peaceful homes into the army all from eighteen to
tortptive years of age,.to be driven to the slaughter
like oxento the shambles. And to 1111 up the thinned

monstrous proposition to conscript all from sixteen

denounces as nothing leas than an attempt to make
Mr. Davis Dictator.
iLet us examine and See What kind of a body it
that is imposing such burdens on the people of
North Carolina.
"We have a Congress, the iwislation of which is

the people of England themselves. No conscript

They may put us under dmilitarg despotism, and place

which are insupp ortable, and there is no redress, unless
North Carolina will protect her children.
"Is it not an outrage on every principle of free

arouse himself before it is too late, and denounce
these attempts to betray our liberties and place us
under a military despotism. Let every man that
can speak or write denounce these outrages on civil
liberty until their denunciations are heard and
heeded in Congress.
".But if Congress, in a spirit of desperation, should
act the tyrant and impose such crushing burdens on
the people of North Carolina as are insupportable,
then they should demand of the Governor that he forth.

The Woodcutter General.
[St. Louis Correspondence of the Milwaukee. Wisconsin.]
I have been profoundly interested in studying the
history of General Grant while a resident of this
city and county. All of our readers know that the
Daily Wiscoitain has had few favorites in this war.
One of these is General Grant, whom it has never
deserted, and whom it sustained with an unfalter
ing trust when so many others condemned him.
This man has rendered such inestimable services to
his country, that I have been tracing his early and
modest history here, with an interest I have rarely
felt in any subject.
Six years ago General Grant occupied a little
farm to the southwest of St. Louis, whence he was
in the habit of cutting the wood, and drawing it to
Oarondelet, and selling it in the market there.iMany
of his wood purchasers are now cailingto mind that
they had a cord of wood delivered in
.person by the
great General Grant. When he came into the wood
market be was usually' dressed in an Old felt ha;
with a blouse coat, and his pants tusked in the tops
of his boots. In truth, he bore the appearance of a
sturdy and honest woodman. This was his winter's
work. In the summer he turned a collector of debts,
but for this he was not qualified. Ile had a noble
and truthful soul; so when be was told that the
debtor had no money he believed him, and would not
trouble the debtor again. One of the leading mer
chants of St. Louis mentioned this circumstance to
me. From all I can learn of his history here he was
"honest, truthful, indefatigable—always at work at
something, but did not possess the knack of making
money. Ide was honorable, for he always repaid
borrowed money. Ilia habit's of life were hardy,
inexpensive, and simple.. About his being an ine
briate I find nothing to confirm it. On a cold day,
when he brought a load of wood to the Oarondelet
market, he would take something to keep himself
warm. This, so far as I can trace, is the foundation
of many reports of his inebriety.

did the exhibition of the steam-plough appear, that
a partial promise was procured from an eminent

exhibition held in the United State. with their

of merinos of Prussia, Saxony; and Silesia, were
fully represented. and the exhibition was the more
interesting from the feet that nearly all of the conti

sively, embracing also the beat stooks front England.
It afibidi me great pleasure to ;state that George

most successful in competing with the preariunt on
merinos. He had three hundred and fiftyy , competi

one second• class premiums. His success was most
gratifying, and the more so from the fact that tee
committee awarding to Mr. Campbell this well•
dammed triumph were unanimous in their opinion,
and each member composing tne committee repre
sented different nationalities.
Mr. Campbell sold his sheep on the ground to
Count Sherrthoso, of Silesia, for five thousand 401-
Already has the fruit of Mr. Campbell's triumph
been realized. Merino sheep have been shipped
from Vermont for Australia and other distant corm
trier. This trade bids fair to be one of great bene
fit, not only to Vermont, but to every sestion of the
Union, as it will necessarily carry with it other ar
ticles and productions from our diversified country.
After a most thorough examination, trial, and
practical test, before a committee of distinguished
and competent gentlemen, representing eleven ney.
tionalities, and amidst a host of competitors, we
maintained our complete ascendancy in reaping ma
chines, the greatest of labor saving machines in cut

The golden medal was awarded to C. H. McCor

reward at the London exhibition. This machine

cultural machine on the groutr, while his working
machine at the trial only more fully demonstrated
and confirmed the superiority which he had so long
maintained in Europe and in America. The second
prize for a reaping machine was awarded to a citizen
of New York.
Twenty-five medals and Aromas were awarded

this international exhibition. Never was there such
an opening for American skill and industry. Here
American manufacturers and mechanics had opened
to them in the house of their friends, the opportunity
of presenting their inventions, skill, and products
direct, and free from those embarrassments so fre
quently attending former exhibitions in other por
tion' of Europe, 'surrounded by those who are bound
to us by so many ties of friendship and consanguini
ty ; those devoted, wherever they go, to agricultural
pursuit.; those who cultivate the immense agri

Danube, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean,
The exhibition of American machinery and Im
plements received a great accession from a most
liberal donation mom several of the leading German
merchants, bankers, and citizens of the city of New
York, including a complete assortment of agricul
turalimplements. These, with the premium reaper
contributed by Mr. McCormick, fn connection with
many articles from - other American contributors,
are to form the nucleus of an Agricultural Mu-scum, to
be established in Hamburg. This I regard as the
most gratifying result attending the international
exhibition to American interests.
The establishment of this museum or dEpot opens,
for all time to come, a place of deposit for American
akin and products. Hamburg is the third city of
trade and commerce in Europe. Hamburg is the
key not only to the great German mind, but the
open doorway to more than one hundred and flay
millions of the people of Northern Europe. With
Hamburg we have rapid and almost daily communi

which will accrue to our mechanical- skill 'and in

Men will follow the fruits of their labor to market.
The case of Worthington Sc. Co., of Jackson,
Michigan, illustrates most forcibly the prospect held
out to American industry at this great assembling
of the men of labor. They sent forward one ease of
'gardening and harvesting tools of the value of twenty .
dollars ; such was their beauty and utility, they were
sold upon being Opened on the ground for more than
thrice their Value. There can be no doubt, if the
small appropriation asked for at the last Congress
bad palmed, so well calculated to call the attention
of our people in time to this exhibition, thereby
arousing a spirit of emblation, hundreds, it not
thousaude, of samples of our diversified mechanical
inventions and manufacturing skill would have been
upon the ground, and the foundation laid for a trade
of hundreds of thousands of dollars. No American
could walk over the ground and witness for himself
the crowd and the articles on exhibition without
wishing for a larger number of our inventions and
productions to exhibit side by side with those around
him. All seemed to regret we had not our subentry

Graded Schools.
The following, from the able report of the State
Superintendent of Common Schools, deserves the
attention of all interested in our school system

The practice which most injuriously affects this eye.
tem, consists in degrading the high school depart
meht, by crowding pupils into it before they are pre •
pared for the transfer. If in the higheet department,
a number of scholars are admitted who properly be
long to a loWer grade, it will be imposelble for the
teacher of that department to give instruction in
his own grade, and at the same time in that of the
lower, either so well or so thoroughly , as he could if
he had only his proper Work to do, Parents of ad
vanced pupils, finding that their sons and daughters
are deprived of proper Instrliction, by the great mut-
Wilde of classes, in branches which should be taught
in the lower grades and finding them aasoclated
with a throng of undisciplined pupils, conclude to
secure private Instruction.
The manner in which this evil springs up is this
The directors find that the primary school is too
full. They accordingly attempt to relieve it, not by
dividing and establishing another primary school,
but they look about for a feW of the most advanced
pupils and transfer them into the next higher grade,
before they have finished the course in the primary
school. This affords a temporary relief, but has to
be repeated, and hence all attempts at classification
are seriously disturbed. This 'practice causes the
second grade to be too much crowded, and the same
Dian is adopted for affording relief to it. In this
way pupils are pushed along till the high school is
reachea, which very soon comae to partake of the
nature of a Mixed school, and the evils result which
ought to be expected, causing the dissatisfaction to
which we have referred.
The high school, to be successful must be made
select—scholarship alone being the test for admis
stoic. Promotions should not be made oftener than
once or at most twice in the year, and then only af
ter I:thorough examination by a competent commit
tee, Suitable persons for holding these examine-
Bons and recommending the proper transfer, would
be, the prineipal of the high school, the secretary of
the board of directors, and the county superinten
dent, and these are the proper persons to assume the
responsibility.
This plan, if rigidly pursued, would make the
number in the high school in many towns quite
small, especially if the Celine of study is- an ad
vanced one. But this Is no objection, If it is email,
greater opportunity will be afforded for making the
organization complete, forgiving the most thorough
and accurate instruction, and for visiting and super
intending the lower grader. lit is of an elevated
character and really meritorious, it will soon be
sought after, and to get into it wi ll be regarded as a
prize worth drawing. Besides, the teacher in a high
school cannot profitably teach so large a number of
pupils, as in a lower grade. The number of studies
pursued by each pupil in this, is much greater, and
the time required for giving efficient instruction
longer, than in the more elementary classes. In a
proper classification of scholars in a graded system,
the primary department will Of necessity be much
the most numerous. lowly children do not live to
enter the grammar school, and many more have not
the disposition or the attainments to reach it. And
of those who are admitted to the grammar depart.
ment a still smaller portion advance to the high
school.
But while much care should be taken in establish
ing and perfecting the high school, it is no less im
portant that the primary department' be organized
for the most efficient service ; for they are really
the sub-stratum upon which the prosperity and use
fulness of the whole system must rest. tis from
this that the higher departments are to be fed. A
mistake here will be felt throughout the course.
Great pains should theinfore be taken to furnish
well appliance needed for the health and comfort
of his class of pupils ; that the rooms be not too
much crowded for the most thorough teaching, and
for the preservation of proper discipline and quiet ;
that black boards, and maps, and charts, and !simple
apparatus, suited for this grade of instruction, be
plentifully supplied. These appliances are inexpen
sive, compared with those needed for the higher
grades ,• but it IN perhaps even more important that
they be furnished ; for, the pupils not being capable
of reflection or much concentration of thought, need
a species of instruction that addresses itself to the
eye, and to the youthful apprehension.
It is now very generally believed that females can
teach this grade 01 Sehollie MOTS intaallWllllt Mut aq.

further stated that " when the fresh-water canal of

plains, now unproductive, will for the most part be
planted with cotton. The wealth of the counts,
will increase, and this fine prospect excites the
moat sanguine hopes of gain."
