At O'Clock yesterday, the 9th, our city

the ground like an earthquake. Three BOIL

The heavy machinery and timbers were
thrown hundreds Of feet into the air. por

pounds were forced through the roof and
carried entirely over two story house some
rods distant and landed in the street A
heavy piece Of iron crashed through the roof
of dwelling and fell within a few feet of
where lady was sitting. The boilers
were situated between the distiIery and mill
One side of the latter very strong building
was forced in, and the entire structure. four
stories high and filled with heavy machin-
cry was moved bodily from it's tounda-
tons
TIE immense smoke stack was blown
down, and the scene presented a mass of
ruins seldom equalled Two persons were
killed outright, two have since died a fourth
and probably a fifth cannot survive while
several others were more or less injured
One man was blown a distance of fifty feet,
landing under portion of the boilerfrom
which he was taken alive, his flesh burnedto
a crisp, his clothing stripped of, and his
limbs broken.
The cause Of the accident is known to he

neer,a faithful person who has been IL the
employ OF the Messrs, Fhayer for fifteen year

Moving Machines.
f. S. SIMoNDs.

Mr.. EDITOR M w n g machines
have become necessity on every farm
where one can be used, yet many farm
ers for various reasons do not avail
themselves of the advantages TO be de-
rived from their use. A good mower
will cut an acre that will yield ton and
a half or two tons Of hay per acre in an
hour, on an average, with good team,
or it will cut in lodged clover as much in
an hour as three or four men with their
scylhes can cut in half day, and cut it
better than the men can cut it. With a
mower a farmer can cut most of bis
grass after the dew is of'--consequently
his hay will make quicker and is of bet.
ter quality and be will not feel under
the necessity of moving in dull weather,
as he can cut as much in the forenoon
as he can handle iu the afternoon his
help, having an easy forenoon's work,
will pitch third more hay in the after
noon than they could if they had been
sweating over their scythes from sary
darn therefore would give it as my
opinion that farmer who cuts 40 acres
Of grass will save the cost of his mower
in two years, while il will last with good
care a great many years. | have a
Woods mower which | have used for
the last four seasons, aud | think it is
not worth four dollars less than a new
one, and l have moved so acres a year
with it. 1t is light, of easy draft, easy
for the operator, does its work perfectly,
simple, durable, and never sweats my
team.
One word with my brother farmers
about preparing the fields for the mower.
Now is just the time to take out those
stones you have moved over so long
Get a peg of some stiff timber, nail an
old horse shoe on the lower end-take
a man or boy with you, each having a
bar and spade-and you will be surpris-
ed at the amount of land you will clear
of stones in a given time.
A WORKING FARMER.
Hardwick, Oct. ID, 1864.
Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1864-10-21

the first of September the army was in
moving condition and it was plain to be
seen that desperate struggle must en-
sue. Gen. Hood was determined we
should gain no more, and that be would
retake what was lost. Gen. Sherman
was as determined to take Jonesboro and
every man that dared to wait in its de-
fence. Accordingly the whole army was
in readiness ut three in the afternoon ;
the first division Of our corps was order
ed to assault the enemy's works, and were
repulsed with considerable loss; then the
third division with the same result. The
second then being called out, there were
many sad looking countenances, and while
getting into position each was giving bis
companion some message for his friend
10 case he fell on the field. Still there
was frmness and look of determination
as every man took bis place for the fight,
though it was done under CALLING fire of
shot, shell and small arms of the enemy.
Being formed our brigade stood as fol-
lows: the 10th and 14th Michigan, and
the 18th New York in front. In our
rear for support in case of need were the
10th and Goth Illinois. We were now
ordered to lie down until the other two
brigades were in position, when the order
was given to f oRwARD, which was done
with all possible promptness, and when
within one hundred yards of the rebel
works we were ordered to fix bayonets
and forward double quick. This was
done with ayell. For ten or fifteen min
utes after we mounted their works it was
hard to tell which was to be victorious.
But the brave old 18th carried the day,
Capturing eight twelve Founders, two
stands of colors, $50 prisoners and 1900
stand of small arms. Among the prs-
oners were one brigadier general and
staff, three colonies, two majors, and 20
line officers. Our regiment lost so killed
and wounded-only four killed. The
following night our men burned 80 car
loads of ammunition, which the rebels
had loaded and failed to get away. On
the I'd inst. Atlanta fell into our hands.
The number of prisoners, losses, &C., /
am not able to state, but the battle Of the
first is said TO be the most desperate Of
the campaign. Every corps in our army
was brought into action. Through all
this it has been Gods good pleasure to
bring me unharmed.

WHITEHALL, GA, Sept. ID.
The late grand victories can but ele-
vate the mind and spirit of every loya
citizen and soldier. Atlanta is ours aftel
four long months of hard and tiresomt
compaign. The last and final struggl,
was made on the first and second of Sep
TENDER. On the 26;h Of August The
whole army of the west was under march
ing orders, and on that night commenced
the grand movement which made Allan
ia, with good portion of Hoods army
ours. Oar whole army, save one corps
the 20th--with twenty days rations
made a move to the right and front with
the intention of severiug their two line:
of railroad communication. The twenti
eth corps was to fall back to the Chatta-
hoochie and guard the railroad bridge
which we had built since crossing. This
move cut our army loose from all com,
munication. On the night of the goth
we struck the railroad from Atlanta to
Montgomery and Mobile, tearing and
burning it without moIestalion. While
we did this the rebels, thinking we had
given up the siege, started out to follow
the rear guard of our army, but were
convinced of their mistake after being
badly punished by loss Of 5000 men.
1t was not until the night of the 30th that
they fully understood the nature of our
movement. when every available engine
and car was brought into use to convey
troops over the only remaining road left
for them-Ihat running from Atlanta to
Macon. We struck the road at Jones'
boro according to Gen. Sherman's inten-
ton, distance of twenty-five miles from
Atlanta, on the night of the 3lst Aug,
taking possession of it and capturing a
train of retreating soldiers, 1900 in num-
Der. Thus far all was success. We had
gained the road and cut The Confederate
army in two pstls. On the morning Of
