that same dreaded roar of falling water
came through the darkness, falling with
annalliur effect upon their ears. The
boat was immediately headed to the shore.
Beaching the bank they found that the
ivy and briars were so thick, that it was
almost impossible to land. Atter more
than an hour of hard work, they succeed-
ed in getting a place to lie down, wnere
he water was not more than inch in depth,
the rain still pouring in torrents. At
daylight the weary travellers again em
barked, with scarcely a hope of ever
reaching their goal ; but they must not
relax their efforts when so near home.
The undergrow.th is so high and thick that
it is like a vast, green curtain spread on
either side, for miles along the banks of
this now historic stream. The bushwhack
ers were not looking for Yankees in ca
noes, so they did not watch the river very
closely. There were guards at the fords
along the river, but their attention seem
ed to be directed from the water, to the
approaching roads, so, very fortunately
for our refugees, they were permitted to
quietly slip down unnoticed and unharm
ed. As the boat came around a bend in the
river they saw one part of the "Bosswell
Bridge," AH began to cheer and clap
their hands for joy. Moving beyond, a
rouud the bend, they saw the whole
bridge enveloped in a vast sheet of flames.
Colonel Capron says that no language can
ever tell the bitter anguish of that mo
ment. The first and only natural conclu
sion was that our whole army had been
forced back across the river and in their
retreat had burned the bridge. Having
landed, they cautiously approached some
citizens, who said our army was all cut up
and was beyond Marietta. Eor the first
time since their journey began they were
discouraged. All were unarmed, and
as they supposed, in the advance of the
rebeiarray. However tney made up
When the Colouel left llillsboro he thinks
he had about eirht hundred men. It is
evident that since the surprise no organ

are now aboutjtwo hundred and fifty who
have come into camp in squads of two or
three, scarcely more than four at a time.
They say they are hunted with blood
hounds, and if found, shot like wolves or
any beast's of prey. The men from Col.
Adams 'brigade are also continually coin-

it i a privilege rarely "-ranted, and never
except under the most thorough surveil-
lance. No lady not employed upon the
work is ever permitted, under any circum-
stances, to enter that part of the Depart-
ment. If for no other reason, the crow-

THE MACHINE SHOP
is the first room wo cuter. It is supplied
with forges, lathes, planes and drills capa
ble of doing all the repairing necessary
to be done to the machinery of the build
ing, and to facilitate the setting up and
working of such new machines as are de
manded by our extensive paper circula
tion. Compactness and utility has been
studied throughout this branch of the
Treasury Department.
THE PAPER MILL
though not as extensive as one for gener
al manufacturing, is sufficient for all the
labor required in making the note print
ing paper. The engine used in this room
is a great beauty, glittering with brass,
as highly polished and clean as the work
of a watch, and running almost as quietly
and smoothly.
The manufacture of a paper combining
the qualities of wear, and being splitless
and unphotographic, was a much desired
desideratum. Accordingly it was resolv
ed to make some experiments, which were
entrusted to Dr. Gyun. He has produced
a paper firm as parchment, smooth as sat
in, and of a combination of materials
known only to himself, and secured to the
I exclusive use of the government. He

not be photographed without discoloring
the paper to which impressions may be
transferred, giviug it the appearance of a
coarse, black spider web. Being mould
ed in the body of the paper it is impossi
ble to erase it, and it, must be a great
preventative of counterfeiting by the pho
tographic process, which has latterly been
the most successful.
THE INK MILLS
are six in number, for making as many
different colors. Each one is called a four
horse power mill, though the whole six
are driven at the same time by an en
gine which one could pick up with one
hand. It not only turns these mills, but
at the same time runs three of Hoe's cyl
inder presses. It was made in the ma
chine shop of the Department, and de
rives its force from its great boiler capaci
ty. Of the manufacture of the ink but
little is to be said, for any one having
seen a common paint shop, has the pro
cess at once, and perhaps the only differ
ence is that here none but first quality
material is used.
THE ENGRAVING ROOM-
is of more interest than auy we have yet
been in. Here soience aud art are both
displayed to perfection. There is per
haps no engraving so fine and requiring
so much time to execute as that on the
plates now being prepared for national
note printing. (pe, the size of a bill, on
which the workman has been employed
almost a year, is a copy of oue of the
paintings in the rotunda of the Capitol.
The figures were of exquisite proportions,
and the water lines, though plain, ex
tremely delicate in their tracery.
With the single plate, as it comes from
the hauds of the engraver, it would be
impossible to do the printing required,
aud as it is equally impossible to have a
number of plates engraved, it becomes ne
cessary to repeat them in another way,
this is done in the following manner.
The engraving is done on a plate of steel
just the size of the bill or bond, and the
cuttings arc indentations. When finish
ed, the plate is hardened and taken to a
'transfer press where a roller of soft
steel, iust of a circumferance to take in
f the size of the flat plate, is rolled over it,
under heavy pressure, leaving tlie impres
sion on the roller in a raised form. This
roller is in turn hardened, and then any
number of flat plates similar to the origi
nal are prepared, and receive in like man
ner the impressions from this roller, and
become fac similes of the plate engraved;
and we have reproduced in a few minutes
what it has taken months with chisels
and eye glasses to make.
THE PRINTING
is now done on the old fashioned engra
ver's press, being nothing more than a
simple iron roller covered with cloth and
paper to press the printing paper into the
indentures, placed in a strong frame and
turned back and forth by hand by spokes
placed in the end of the roller. Two per
sons work at each press, a man and wo

THE TRIMMING AND CUTTING
Was formerly done by hand, and of course
very imperfectly and laboriously. There
were two things to be overcome in cut -
ting by machinery the inequality of the
registry and the shrinkage. It was desi-
rable that the edges should be trimmed
so they would wear well. If cut with ;
straight knife, they would be beveled one
way. As tliey are now cut, witn circular
knives running pinchingly, they have an
edged beveled both ways. The sheets are
registered in the centre, and the shrink
age divided between the two edges.
The greenbacks are printed four on a
sheet. ' Oue machine trims the margins
and another separates them This latter
is an ingenious contrivance. It slits them
very fast, and lays them with regularity
in a box, each series of numbers separate
ly. The notes are lettered A, B, C and
D, and the numbers on each are the same;
therefore it is essential they should be
kept carefully apart. Each of the boxes
that receive them has a movable bottom
When the cutting for the first day com
mences this bottom is near the top of the
box, but as the cutting progresses and
the number of the bills increase, a ratch
et lets the bottom drop the thickness of
a bill, so the box is kept just so full all
the time, to make the bills slide in with
out doubling. It is intended that the
cutting should be a criterion by which to !
judge of the genuineness of the bills, for
every one must be the same width aud
length. If the end of a bill be placed on
the centre of another, there will be found
no difference in the width, an exactness
which cannot be given by the hand.
The currency-cutting machine is more
complicated, as it cuts both ways, aud
files them in bundles of five dollars each
and I am not sure but it binds aud seals
them.
THE CHECKS AND SAFEGUARDS
upon every one employed in this depart
ment, from the chief down to the lowest
laborer, operate at every turn. Not even
a blank sheet, much loss a printed paper,
is passed from one hand to another with
out being counted and receipted for, and
unless there is collusion from one to au
other through every process through
which the paper has to pass before it is
money, through the entire rauge, there
cannot be an over-issue. The paper is
issued from oue room, and is reissued
from that room sixteen or eighteen times
before it is put into circulation, being

formed him that they interprised sympa

claimed to sympathize with them, and.
they intended to avail themselves of his

released with thanks for the sympathy he
had manifested.

"On last Sabbath, while church was
being held about six miles north of Al
bany, Gentry count-, a party of the mili

came forward and placed her horse at the
service of the, boys, and also pointed out
to them anpilicr fine steed, which she re
marked was the property of a secessionist
lady friend of hers. A Union trooper
was soon astride of the 'contraband and',
was about to leave with him, when the
lady owner made her appearance and pro
tested against giving him up. ,
"The Uuion girl urged the soldier to
go along; she had voluntarily contributed
her horse, aud insisted that the secesh
horse should also do duty. At this the,
rebel girl applied all sorts of opprobrious,
epithets to the Union girl, who iu turn
became angry and knocked her opponent,
flat on the ground and then jumped up
on her and pounded away at a terrible
rate. Dr. ills, ot that vicinity, hnally.
