How TO PRE,PARE LINT : --As every person.
dois notknew, how toprepare lint, we are .re
. . .
quested..to say that the Surgeons state 'that
e s
much of the Anent is not properly prepared,
end; in most csies," ,
cannot be used: Most per
sons vilp'prepare,linj \ goro.the tioubleolserap
inr it, which is not , only .
,unnecessary ,labor, ,
but the lint thas,prepard can be used only in
eitceptional.ceses. . The proper way tO'prepare
it is to . take old stir ets,
.or any other articles Of
pure linen, old being rather preferable . to new
,end , Cut.it piecee from three .sii and
twelve inches iii length: These should
then be simply unravelled, thread by thread,
and laid together skeinses bundles; and tied:
or rolled up in paper, dl . flerent lengths in sep
eratepackages. The Surgeons can then roll it
up or, put ifin any shape ,wanted ih.a. moment.
When scraped- Zia* is used in most wounds, it
closes up the .wounds, rand the blood or pus,
uniting with.it forms e herd e rs's, which _ not
not only irritates, but is ; difficult to remove;
,while the unravelled lint keeps the wound cool
,
and in, a healthy condition. The reader will
see also that it ii mpch more easily prepared
than the scraped lint.-LPar. and &aims..

Taylor, procecded,in accorda'nce.with . their or
ders, to ...the bridge' . called the. Long 'Bridge,
where a.skirmish ensued :with the.eneth's .

eter stationed on the opposite side.. As. a inat

the purpose 'of leading our .forces into new,an -

position•therwere ordered to occupy.• • •
A rrivingivithie sight of the. extensive plain,

that' others were in readiness to be opened at

They Ipid not proe,eeded litany rods before a

the. COnfederaticwite that ta k en from us at
Bristow's, and 'the missiles discharged .were

This third murderous , and destrective fire
from the batteries of the rebels shOwed the
otter folly 'of any further , attempt to hold the
plains of Manassas, so the brigade fell back
by an about face movement, • having inflicted,
little or no loss to ' the enemy, save, 'perhaps,
in the skirniish at the brkdge.
The brigade retired in good orde'r under the
the inecrly'ii fire . until.they reached Bull Run.
