aunties to thomberultuvw—letter from
Col. A: K. IficClaiit.
Csre7oBBEIBBIAG, August 4,1884.
To the Editor of-The Press:
Sin: Your no more generous thin just words at
the public meeting in - Philadelphia yesterday, vine'.
eating our people from the malignant aspersions
they have received in so many quartere, made us
feel that there are still a few who will not add
calumny to our desolation and want, - That a paper
controlled by Horace Ortieley—a name 'hitherto as
sociated with good and generous deeds—should per
eistentlyahut out the truth, and 11,Wd'systematio de•
famation to our misfortunes,•"has ,astounded its
many old patrons In this section of the State. That
the Satanic Herald should defame and f d
oz y,un er.
any circumstances, surprised no one. lam at a loss
to discriminate between the fiendish spirit of the
Tribune and Herald, in their notices of our calamity;
and that of General McCausland, who applied the
torch, and invited his command io arson and
robbery.
I believe that the Bulletin of your city does not
mean to falsify respecting the people of Chambers
burg; but it does so Ina manner that Is utterly in
excusable when it alleges that Captain Huncock'S
"summons for - voluntary old was anklrered,by less
than one htindred'ef the thousands-of able : bodied
men who that night remained within the district
he commanded." , It declares what is wholly- false.
Every man who eould get a blouse entered. com
pany organizations that night, went out on duty, and
remained on duty until ordered book; atilt more
than two-thirds of the other oakum .had thelearme
and ammunition ready, and waited. in Needs to join
In the defence of the town until after. midnight,-,
when it was ascertained that the enemy had not ad
vanced, and could not reach here that night. They
were then notified of the fast and the'y retired, --
Equally unjust is the statement of the Bulletin
that from Chambersburg to Harrisburg is were ob
served evidences .of fright, if not of cowardice,
which were"disgracefel to the people and human
ating to the' loyal stranger who witnessed the ex
citing scenes." The people referted to were farmers
who were ordered away with their stock, as in no
Manner could the rebel cause be so well served as to
allow there to capture oar horses and cattle. That
farmers ordered North with stock, without knoWing
where or in what numbers the foe was appearing,
ehould be anxious for tkeir safety, is roost natural,
and the writer who censures them reflects but little,
or does not care to be truthful or just.
We have had three Invasions In Franklin. county, I
and each has given us - about the same amount of
theoretical valor from city editors. It seems to be
the ambition of many to ridicule the long-Buffering
and plundered people of the border, because they
do not keep their stock to -be 'stolen by rebels, and
fight rebel armies which have driven our armies in
confusion before they reached us. I ten horses
In 1862, and I don't see that it would have been a
valiant or profitable act, had it been in my pbarer, to
save them. Last week I lost my residence,
barn, office, and all their contents, and I doubt
whether it would have benefited any one had I
joined other citizens of Chanibersburg to fight, cer
tainlyfour. to one, an organized and merciless foe,
and been murdered, as we all pretty certainty must
have been.
In 1862, Stuart made his raid through the town,
while McClellan lay on the river, and with a strong
force, within twenty miles of us. Although an
army 0f.100,000 men could not guard the Potomac,
citizens were expected to be-ready, in Wee; just at
the particular point and time the rebels should at
tack. Had all the able-bodled. men' of -Franklin
county been under arms in Chamber.sburg, when Me-
Causland approached, they might have been . equal
in numbers, and saved it; but who was to defend

Averill did not seem able to do it and is it reason

deemed a very easy matter by a city editor; who is

shill be glad to hear the particulars. '

ON THE TOWN - se44 4 lskv:ms.
CHANBNRBBIIR6I August 4, 1864
Elstery repeats itself wonderfully in the Cumber
land Valley, at least ao far. as ,-rebel ',cavalry ad
vances and citizen cavalry retreats are concerned.
For the last few. weeks a vague fear took possession
of the citizens that "our mutual friends," the
rebels, would again pay their respects to the town
and the denizens thereof. No reason was assigned
for their apprehensions but they persisted in their
belief of the approach Of the enemy. A few of the
merchants removed their goods weeks' since to
places of safety, and subsequent eventshave proved,
If not their forealght,at least their prudence and
Wisdom. On last • Friday, afternoon the first
definite report of the rebel - advanie was re
ceived. Scouts coming in reported .the ene
my advancing, Via Mercersbirrg, and hasten
ing onward. At this Intelligence the 'usual stam
pede of farmers, contrabands, and stock- ensued.
Horses, (with riders, it must be confessed,) wagons,
contrabands filled - the road in confusion indescrit
bable. During the afternoon the citizens were busily "
engaged .in packing their valuables, and etorlag .
them away In the ill-fated houses. --The 'Cumber
land Valley Railroad, running extra trains, carried
down goods for many of the merchants. Friday
.night the excitement was at its height v.Averill's
baggage.traln passed through att a rate of speed
that betokened no little danger. It was now evident
that.the town was given up. . GeneralGottett , pened_ .
restlessly up and down in front of hiseliotists 'ittid In
answer to" the appeals Of the .citizens, stated `that
he was unable to do anything. "I hive not a man I
at my dlaposal." _At three o'clock A. N. the train
which had been fired up all "night left Chambers
burg, having on board the General, 'his stair, Co -
gather with these citizens who were fortunate
enough to know of its departure at five o'clock.
The rebel advance appeared on New England
Hill, to the west of Cha,mbersburg. Their advance
guard was met here by . Lieutenant Underhill, with
a squad of thirty-five 'men and one gun. The effect
produced upon the- rebels by this little band shows
what indomitable bravery and "pluck" will do.
The rebels advanced in perfect abandon style,
yelling, joking, and laughing.: At the first " bliz
zard" from the Lieutenant it was ludicrous to see
their fright and discomfiture. They fled pell-mell
back to the Mein body, and when these again ad
'vaneed Lieut. Underhill (all honor to him !) again
opened on, there, and actually iota his handful' of
men held the whole rebel colamn (two thousand
strong) at bay for one hour, killing and'•wounding
several. The Lieutenant only withdrew his_ mew
when a messenger arrived from General Averill
ordering him to , dekso. The rebelanow unlimbered
apiece and threw several shells over the town. To
many of the citizens the peculiar whizzing of these
shells was the first intimation of the proximity of the,
rebels. The first shell struck a house in the western ,
part of the town on an eminence, and a fine target for
the rebel eannoniers. A sick lad in this house hearing
the firing had arisen from his bed and raised the
window. Just at this time the shot took out the.
sash two feet above his head. The shell penetrated
into the next bed-roots and there exploded. That
this was an intentional shot is attested bye rebel
cannortier, who, afterwarda entering the, town,
seemed greatly surprised that the window was
- struck. "I did'nt shoot for thar,".he said, "I
aimed lower down, and it's queer, too, as I can
handle that old long-tom jes like a The ad
vance into the town was one of the most systereatized
movements Imaginable. A body took pessession of
each attest and alley, and regularly advanced. The
command was sent along the line to advance a cer
tain distance and then halt: The elear4inging
"forward" eehoed from one end of the town to the
""forward" ma along the line. Si
other. Twenty paces at a-time was their distance,
and then again
ago, on a wild charge,
maltaneously they came out on the principal street.

geon, Dr, Budd, formerly "a friend - of Dr. Richards'
in_Baltimore. Gilmer coming up, demanded;" onw'
hundred 'thousand dollars in gold, or its equivalent
five hundred' thousand in greenbacks,"to be de'-
livered to tam - instanter. To "cothpy with this
demand was, of course, actually impossible. Dr,
Richards hifermed Gilmor that such -was the case,
- that the money had been removed from the banks,
and that the citizens could'not furnish the amount
asked for. The rebel then told the gentlemen to con
sider themselves under arrest, called- a guard, and
cried out, "We , ll burn your .d—ti town anyhow,
and send you to Libby.'+ When the guard ap
proached, Dr. Richardsinformed the-rebel brigand
'that at one time he thought he (Gilmor) was a
gentleman, but now his' opinion aas somewhat
changed. This evidently hurt.the rebel, as ho apolo
gized for putting them under , guard, by, saying,
"that it was their Custom with all citizens." - The
rebel surgeon now interfered for them and addressed
Gilmer:' _
Major, Pil take care of these gentlemen.

men to headquarters l"
“ I will, 111 have to bring them on my back. All
right, Doetor.” •
The phivalrio Major then rode off. Dr. Budd
went direetly to the court-house to have the gentle
men released from arrest, and - returned soon to tell
them they -were free " buy , said he, "their will
burn iourlorirri, ,, and, bending down his head, he
wept tike a child.
The order for:the burningof the town was given
by General 'McCausland at nine o'clock, and fifteen
minutes afterwards flames were leaping from the
windows • hi' tle houses in: the Diamond.. The
rebelii, breaking into the drugstores, procured tur
pentine, and making fireballs, threw them Into the
houses indiscriminately. The men , were sent around
in squads, plundering and
_burning every house they
saw fit to enter. Very often these" men obtained
considerable sums of moneyfrom the wealthier citi
zens to proteet deft property. Their promises were
amide until the Money. was in their hands, but after
it was received they entirely disregarded them.
One of these squads, entering a house, gave the
inmates five minutes to remove their effects before
deluging the floor with turpentine and igniting it.
The Beetle at 10 o'clock was indescribable. Nearly
the Whole town was one roaring mass of fire. So
intense was the heat, it was impossible even to walk
through the Diamond—a large open space in the
centre of the town: The flames from either side of
the streets met each other, forming an arch of fire,
above which the black smoke rolled in thick and
heavy volumes, obscuring the leavens. Houseiess
and homeless women and children fleeing, and the
oaths of the maddened rebels, completes this picture
of horrors, a scene that will never be forgotten by
the citizens oUChambersburg. Nothing, compara
tively, was saved—an old painting, the family-Bible,
a change of clothing, Ihat was all. No time was
allowed for the removal of the 'furniture, or even
trunks of clothing. Seventy pianos in the different
houses, in one street,, were. burned. The terror of
the scene appalled even the rebels. Although the
greater pert went into the work with fiendish. de
light, some were greatly affected, .and, many a
strong man shed tears.. When the fire commenced
a rebel colonel, riding up to a burning building,
threw into the fire a paper, saying: "There goes my
commisSiOn; it may cost me •my life, but I can't
stand this."
HOW TrIS SOUTITEWR PORTION OT THE TOWN, WAS.
SAVED:
Amidst - the general - apathy of the citizens,
it is refreshing to point out instances of indivi
dual bravery.. Through the exertions of one, gen.
Uvular. the ' whole Southern portion of the
town, was saved. , After the. flames had attained
sufficient headivar in nther parts, the executive
officers or. General McCausland rode- to the eouth
of the town to see to the work of destruction there!
Dismounting at a crossing, they courteously
met by Dr: DI, Rush Senseney, and invited into his
residenee to take a glass of wine. They gladly ac
cepted. his invitation, and, entering the house, im
bibed freely. Whether the wine in question was
specially adapted for the occasion or not, I am un
able to say, but certain-it Is that it - ad a remarka
ble effect upon the rebel officers. They became re
markably communicative, and disclosed to the-
DOCtOr . theii entire plans, &c., of their raid. Having •
left, by request, their autographs on a sheet of
paper, they departed. No sooner had the door
closed behind them than the Doctor wrote above
the names of . the communicative gentlemen an
order from Gen. McCausland to spare the southern
portion of the town. Armed with the " Special
Order. No. 14," the Doctor started out in time to see

It IS rather inappropriate to head this letter with
Chambersburg. The town proper is numbered
among the have-beens. No one can realize the de
struction Until he hes seen it: 'The newspapers sta
ted that two hundred and seventy houses had been
burned in Oherabersburg. Thti gives an incorrect
idea of the whole affair. I need only say that, sit-
tang, as I now do, in a house overlooking the scene,
the whole town, with the exception of the houses in
the south, is one mass of mine. Charred, blackened,
dreary walls are all that now remain of the ence
beautiful Chambersburg. The fire is yet smoulder
ing in the cellars, and when night shrouds therulns
the lurid light, glistening over the dark walls, gives
an 'enect wierd and ghostly. Chambersbnrg now

The Ontonagon Copper Nines.
(Correspondence of The Press.)
ONTONAGON, Mich., July 29, 1864.
Having seen in your paper of the -20th an account
of the Iron mines at Marquette, Mlohigan, I thought
that a short description of the copper mines In this
vicinity might not prove uninteresting to some of
your readers. •
On leaving Marquette we steam westward some
seventy miles to Portage Lake, and here we find.
the town of Houghton, the countyseat of Houghton
county, Michigan, fourteen miles from Lake - Su
perior. The settlement of this place was com
menced in 1854, but it was incorporated as a village
in 1861. The population in 1880 was estimated at
8;000. Houghton is built upon a hilt rising some
three hundred feet from the lake, and here areeitu
ated the Isle Royale, Huron, and Grand Portage
minim
On the other-side of the lake, Ind directly oppo
site Houghton; is the town of Hancock, connected
with the former by a steam ferry. This plane was
first laid out tn 1858, and now contains about 4,000
inhabitanto, dto rise and prosperity keeping pace
With the developments ofcopper, with which the
country abounds. It is Situated on a hill rising
some six hundred feet from Portage Lake, and on
top of this are the Quincy, Powabie, Franklin, 'and
Hancock mines, now inactive operation, and giving
employment to several thousand men.
•11,. few weeks ago, while IWas at Hancock, a mass
of native copper was taken from the Pe stable mine
weighing eight tons, aod'valued at $7,500. Here,
also, are situated the "Portage Lake" Smelting
Works, where, the' metal .is run into bars suitable
for transportation, and thence, during the season
of navigation, shipped to the Eastern markets. The
shipment of copper from the Portage Lake district
for the year 1862 was 4,288 tons.
Leaving Portage, on the way to Ontonagon,, our
next stopping; place is Copper Harbor—population
about 250. Here are the Clarke, Star, Mandan, and
• Michigan mines.
Leaving this plum we pass Eagle Harbor and
Eagle river. These settlements number- about:800
people each and-;near them are situated the Cep
:per Falls, Pittsburg and Boston, Amygdalold, and
Pennsylvania mines. Steaming along some sixty
miles further we arrive at the town of Ontonagon.
b his place is situated at the mouth of the Ontonagon
river, and on the southern shore of Lake Superior,
one hundred and sixty miles from the head of the
same. Here is a fine hotel—the "Bigelow House,"
some twelve or thirteen stores, and twelve hundred
inhabitants.
In the country, fifteen miles back from Ontonagon,
are situated the copper mines of this district. The
most noted are. the "Minnesota," "National,"
"Rockland," and "Caledonia."
The copper is found in a ridge of hills some ninety
- miles in length, running along Keweenaw Point,
from northeast to southwest.
It Is generally reached by shafts, and some of - these
are of great depth, the bottom of the_ Minnesota
mine being 1,800 feet from the surface. •
Tho mineral is found either in masses, or in what
Is called "stamp work." This term is applied to
copper scattered throughout the rook in - fine grains,
so that to prooure the metal, this rook, atter being
blasted, is passed under heavy iron stamps, weigh
ing 900 pounds, by which it is reduced to a powder.
Atter this it falls, into troughs, through which
streams of water are runniag ; these carry off the •
powdered rock, while the copper being of a greater
epecitio gravity, remains at the bottom of the trough
ILI grains of the size of a pear and smaller, and is
then packed in barrels for transportation. The mass -
copper is taken to a smelting furnace and cast into
bars or pigs.
The first mine opebed on Lake Superior was the
Minnesota mine. Operations were commenced in
1845 and 1840, and It is said that the first large mass
of native copper was discovered in a pit dug by the
Indians ; it weighed six and a half tons.
The St. Mary Canal, around the rapids of the
Sane name, at the eastern extremity of this lake,
was opened in 1650, and at once changed this whole
regittis, by giving a great impetus to trade in this
direction ; for, until that time, no large vessels
could be passed around these rapids to the lake. In
MI the number of vessels that passed the locks was
838, and the aggregate-tonnage was 349,612 tons.
The tolls or this °soot are eta conic per ton.
The product of copper mined in-this region,
although rather small when compared with that of
some other countries, has, since the minas were first
Worked, nineteen years -ago, grown into a trade of
large proportions, the aggregate value of the pro
ductions from 1846 to 1862 inclualve being estimated
at *T2,000.000.
Until 1860 NO copper was smelted this side of De
troit. Since then tee "Portage Lake Company"
have erected a large smelting works at Hancock,
Houghton county, Michigan.
• There are very few Copper mines in this vicinity
but what contain rich beds of , the metal, and no
company has ever assessed its stookholders to the
full value 01 their stock. The par value is 826, and
generally the subscription price is one dollar and a
half or two dopers, and then an assessment of one
or twa dollars la made; until copper enough is mined
to pay expeneea.
The weather - here is delightful, seldom warm ,
and
in the evening we always have a tine breeze from
the lake. The fishing is excellent—troutypiekerel,
and white fish abound, while the woods furnish great
numbers Of-pigeons for the sportsman; altogether;
this is amoatdelightfulplace in which to peas away
the summer. We have two or three Philadelphians
here,,en route for St. Paul via Superior City . ; but,
as a general thing few persona come here from your
.
plane. • •

the Snit ambulance, we piloted them , to the spot,
and then a most thrilling scene took place that I
shall neyer forget. Looking down the woods from
the ambulance, ruse , the rebel skirmishers steadily
advancing,ind thinking the staff officers were not

intentionally refrained from describing the danger

as best I could to assist in carrying his body to the

A JURY DOUBTING 4 Parsowiat's
v f)o..„itinifOrr.
—At the. De_wes Assizes, Ilogland,,on tt*
July, avoid woman named Whiteovaa Indicted for ,
betting'iare to a dwelling-hoiise, at Pal
borough, on the ltith'of May: The theory fOr the
prosecetion was, that the act aroseiout'of revenge: -
There was some circumstantial evidence and , a litre
•
_
boy tpoke of seeing the on the ntgkt in gins-
tion going towards they a Alert time before
the fire broke ont. , But the main piece or evidence
was an alleged confession , by the prisoner: In the
gaol, to the, proSecutor, in,_thepresence of the Su
perintendent 'Police, who took it down at the
time, and both of whom swore to it. The,confession
was, that she hoped he would 'do all he could for
her, and that he would forgive her—that she'did it
with a thonght. Mr. Ribton for the defence,
ascribed this confession to' the Influence of terror
and apprehension operating upon the mind of the
prisoner, and leading her to availherself of any
means of escape. Toe jury, .during the progress of
the learned counsel's address, Intimated that they
hadniade up their minds. The learned Judge said
it would be better for them_ to , hear the case out.
The jury still hesitated, and then said that they
were all of opinion in favor of the prisoner. The
learned Sudge.observed that he thought, tint, ,upon
the whole, was the safer verdict, as the only evi
-dence against her consisted upon the supposed con
fession, which' was evidently made while she was in
such a " pucker" of anxiety and alarm that it7ould
probably be unsafe to rely upon' it se fat as to con
vict her upon it. The verdict of not guilty was
then taken, and the prisoner was discharged. .
LADIES' DRESSES AND WET PAINT.—The OMB
"Levy vs. Bartlett," heard In the Sheriff's Court,
London, on July 16th, was an action to recover .f. 2,
the value of a dress, alleged to have been daniagod
by some paint in defendant's shop. It appeared
that the plaintiff went to the shop of the detendant,
a cheesemonger, and on entering her dress sweet
against the newly-painted door-poet. A shopman
called, "Mind the paint." Thereupon she caused
herself to be painted upon the other side. There
was no written notice up that the paint was wet.
His , Honor censured the defendant, who was bound
to keep his shop so that no harm could come to hie
customers entering for a lawful purpose. The plea
that the plaintiff's crinoline wait exceedingly large
was a bad plea. She might. reply she was entitled
to follow the prevailing fashion. If a tradesman
wishes to protect himself particularly, he oughtle
put up a notice, " No ladies with large crinolines
served - fa this shop." Verdict for plaintiff, with
costs. • '

young friend. The Victor Hugoe have always a

THE REPORTED SEA FIGHT IN THE CHANNEL.—
A Southampton correspondent says: "The origin
of the reported sea fight off Jersey has noir been
ascertained. A party of friends was trade up at st.
Heifers Jersey, for- a land excursion around the
island. One ot the number, however, ultimatelyde
chned to go. When the excursionists reached Gorey,
they jocosely sent him a telegram stating that he
-had lost a great treat by remaining behind, as they
bad 'witnessed a- magnificent fight between the
Kearsarge and Florida. They added that the Kear
sarize was beaten, and had sought shelter in Gorey,
and . that the Florida was off the lanquies, waiting
to renew-the contest. This telegram was shown to
two or three persons, and the engineer of the steamer
• Wohdeidiested one of_them speak:about it,inet se

passengers at once fancied they -had heard distant

Inosnions .FIGEBERT.—A young and stylishly,
attired Italian woman, named Peretta,hasjuet been
tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for rob
bing several. Paris jewellers in an ingenious man
ner. She had visited different shops under the pre
test of buying, but had never purchased anything, -
and, alter each Inspection, ono or more valuable ar
ticles were missed. At last she.was brought back
to the shop and searched, but nothing was found
upon her ;lint the jeweller; when informed of the
negative result, directed the attention of the search
er in another direction.. The young woman pos
sessed a luxuriant head of black hair. formed into
thick plaited knots, in the folds of which the rings
or. other articles taken were adroitly thrust and con
cealed. The jeweller in question had been put upon
his guard against a female of her description, and
on closely watching her he observed that she ovule
atonally put her bane to her head. Two missing
rings were found in her hair, and she was arrested.
The accused pretended • that she must have placed
them there in a moment of absence of mind, but the
tribunal replied to this defence by condemning her
to a year's imprisonment.
SINGULAR Hoax.—The Journal de Rouen men
tions a singular hoax that has just been played off
in that town. A rumor was put into circulation
that in coining the two-sous pieces of the year 1852,
a quantity of gold had been accidentally mixed
with the copper, and that refiners were buying up
those coins at twenty and thirty centimes each, in
order to extract the precious metal from them. A
generel search for the pieces bearing that date was
in consequence made by the small dealers through
whose hands a quantity of small copper money
passes, and some went so far as to purchase from
their neighbors the 1852 declines' at fifteen and
eighteen centime:Coach, with the intention of ob
taining a profit ()Mae difference between that price
and the rate said to be paid for them by the metal
lurgists. Unfortunately, all the efforts to' find out
the persona who really did give. twenty and thirty
centimes each for those pieces proved fruitless, and
the speculating collectors learned to their coselhat.
the two-sous coins of 1852 do not contain gold any
more than those of other years.
Hewes OP THE ALABAMA.—A Dieppe paper in
forms us that the English-built • yacht, the Pearl,
now belonging to a French gentleman has come
into that port , and is amusing the sea-side visitors
by exhibiting , a number of relics from the Alabama,
picked up after the action, of which the Pearl was
in part also a spectator. Among these objects
saved 18 a curious notebook, belonging to one of
the seamen, and containing,-doubtless for his own
interests in the way of prizemoney, a complete Hat
of all the vessels destroyed or captured by the Ala
bama. The list begins on the sth of September,
1862, and closes on the 27th of April, 1861; and cu
riously enough, enumerates just 65 captures, an
swering to the number of Captain Semmes' chrono
meters. Seven vessels are named as ransomed, 47
'am burnt, and 10 as sold ; and the work of destruc
tion IS estimated at a million sterling.
THE NHAPOLITAIf BOURBONS.—The environs - of
Albano are certainly enchanting, and they are not
rendered the less so by the occasional unexpected
appearance of the young Queen of Naples at some
pictureeque turn in an Ilex avenue, seated grace..
fully on her beautiful gray thoroughbred, and weirs,

spicy porinpie hat, and her glossy hair, in a Spanish.

THE Jesuits' chapel in the Rue de Sevres, Pads,
was on July 19th the Scene of a fatal accident.
Some workmen were engaged in removing a ladder
which they had been using in the repair or the
building, but finding it heavier than they expected,
they let it slip from their hold, and in falling it
struck the head of the Countess de Polignao, who
was attending mass. The blow was so violent that
the lady died shortly after in the reception room of
the establishment, to which she Was conveyed. The
deceaked was 77 years of age.
THE Bordeaux papers speak of a new steam ram

which this gutter was filled several boulders of
quartz were taken, all rich in gold, and one, not 103
pounds in weight, contained 18 ounces of gold, or at
the rate of 360 ounces' per ton. The mountain
abounds In these gutters, and enormous results may
be expected from them. •
Smash Anwort.—ln the official testing of some ar
mor plating in Portchester creek, on July 18th, a
very unexpected success was attained with a steel
plate, manufactured by Messrs. C. Otimmell &
of Sheffield, which is likely to revolutionize the
whole theory of armor for vessels or forts. It was
of 43{ inches, and received on its surface 12 shots
without any damage ; 'the first instance, :1t was
stated, of the successful resistance of steel plates to
shot..
