Letter From the 18th Regiment


A reliable correspondent in the 18th Wis.
Reg't writes us long letter bearing date
Near Big Shanty, Ga, June Goth, 1864,
)giving an account of the part taken in the
battle before Kenesaw Mountain, by the
18th, and particularly the conduct Of
Company G, and its officers. He speaks
very highly of Capt. MAxoN, of Company
A, who volunteered to lead, and led with
distinguished ability, detail of twenty-five
men from each Company against the rebel
lintrenchments, driving them from their
position and holding the intrenchments for
twenty minutes against a whole rebel
brigade. They however suffered heavily in
the charge, three men were wounded and
one missing Of Company G. Two Of the
wounded We're recruits from the north part
of the State and are. consequently strangers
to u.s.. LEWIS PAUL. was badly wounded
in the right leg, breaking the bone, but it is
confidently hoped that he will get well and
save his leg. ERIcK PAUL. is missing
probably a prisoner. ) Our correspondent
also speaks in high terms of the bravery
and soldierly conduct of Lieut. JONES of
Company G., who it was regretted was not
able to take part in the fight having been
sent by the Captain to look after other
matters. But Capt. WILSON, of Company
G, is, if his statements be true, and we have
no reason to doubt them, highly disgraced,
having imbibed SO freely of the intoxicating
cup as to be wholly unfit to perform the
duties required Of him, and while his Com
pany was engaged in the fight, he was lay
ing under tree, not aware that they had
been called out Our correspondent also
charges him with being coward and i'll
treating his men. We have heard like com
plants Of this officer before and think such
matters should be looked into, and if thew
are found to be true, it would be kindness
to the Company and doing our country SER
vice, to transfer his company to another and
more worthy officer. s ass1 otj3 Is

National Union Nominations.
To our Patrons.

1t is with reluctance that we yield to the
pressure Of the times, and announce to our
readers that We are no longer able to pub
lish the CHRoSIcLE for the former price of
ole dollar year. But being one of the
last to make an advance, nearly every paper
in the country having yielded to the neees-
sity some time ago, we feel proud that we
have been able 20 withstand the pressure so
long. Our terms for the future will be
$3.50 per year. if paid in advance, s1,75 if
not paid within three months, and $500 if
not paid within six months; which terms
will be strictly adhered to. We had hoped
to weather it out and get through the ''hard
times, without making an advance in price,
but the extraordinary rise in paper, ink,
&c, has placed before US two alternatives
carrying our business on at loss, or az
ysncing in price. Our friends would not
wish us to do the former, so we are com
PEELED TO avail ourselves of the latter
Every one is SO well advised as to the pres
entinhation of prices, thatit is not necessary
to Introduce facts to show that at our present
advance we shall not realize as much as we
did formerely at the old prices, when other
things were to be had at a reasonable figure.
We would remark, however, that the ad-
vance in paper is over one hundred and
thirty per cent, in ink one hundred and
twenty-five per cent, in type fifty per cent,
while other materials have advanced in
about the same proportion.
If any of our subscribers should wish
their paper discontinued on account of the
present advance, they will please notify US
of the fact before another issue, and by
paying up Il arrearages their paper viii be
discontinued, but it must be remembered
that no paper will be stopped until all back
claims are settled.

The Rebel Raid.

The raid Of the rebels into Maryland,
which at first was thought to be only the
operations of a few rebel guerillas, has been
exaggerated by some to be an army of 49,
600 invaders, with the intention of captur
ing Baltimore, Washington and probably
Philadelphia. The reports are SO conflict.
ing that it is difficult to form any definite
idea of what is going on. It appears, how
ever to be larger force than was at first
anticipated. A Philadelphia dispatch states
that the corps of Ewell, Breckenridge and
Rhodes are north of the Potomac. Balti-
more dispatches state that our forces have
evacuated Frederick City, which is now in
the possession of the rebels. Gen. Wallace
met the enemy at Monocacy, some 40 miles
west of Baltimore, and after holding them
in check for some time, was finally flanked
losing about one thousand men. There is
considerable exciteinentin Baltimore, where
preparations are making for possible emer-
gencies. The rebels levy contributions and
Elunder the places through which they
pass After leaving Monocacy the raiders
struck for the line of railroad between
Washington and Baltimore, and got pos
session of the wires at Magnolia, about IA
miles from Baltimore and intercepted a
large number of dispatches, among them
was one from Secretary Stanton, to Gen
Cadwallder. Also interceptlng two passen-
ger trains, taking the soldiers and officers
found on them prisoners, and robbing the
pockets of the passengers of their valua-
6les, after which they set fire to the cars
Among the officers captured on one of the
trains is said to be Maj Gen. Franklin, but
subsequent report contradicts the state
ment. They are plundering the inhabit-
ants of whatever they can take with them,
and burning bridges, depots, &C. Their
career will doubtless be short as the troops
from New York and Pennsylvania are pour
ing into Washington and Baltimore at
rapid rate. We sincerely hope that they

Terrible Disaster on Grand Trunk
3 sIroM sa Rail Road. Eq 31G 9a#

An emigrant train, consisting Of eleven
cars, went over Bclord Bridge, at St. Hi
liare, Canada, about nineteen miles from
Montreal, on the Goth ult., with 354 emi-
grants on board. The cars are in pile of
ruins, resting on a barge which was pass
ing through the draw at the time. If the
cars had fallen into the water many more
persons would have been drowned. as it
was great many are killed and number
MANNED for life. Eighty-seyen bodies have
been recovered from the ruins, and the num-
Der of wounded ascertained to be 81. The
conductor and fireman were killed. The
engineer went down with his engine, but
escaped with slight injury. A dreadful re-
sponsibility seems to rest on this man for
violating the standing order to stop before
going over the bridge, and the coroner has
had him arrested and sent to the Montreal
Jail. 1t is impossible to identify the dead
or to obtain correct list of their names.
They are of. various countries, and know
little of each othe's affairs They came by
the ship Vicar from Bremen, and appear to
be Poles, Danes, Sweeds, Prussians, Austri-
ans, Bohemians and some Italians. They
were coming to Wisconsin-most of them
to meet friends settled in this State.

fifteen thousand Federal soldiers con-

the heat is so great that they have to
burrow in the ground. They are dying
at the rate of three hundred per day
The editor of the Ne,os, malignant rebel

sufferings of these men? If they are
our enemies, they are human beings.
The same can hardly be said of the men

OVER THE RIVER.

Over the river they beekon TO me-
Loved ones who've Gfossed TO the further side.
The glcam of their snowy robes / see,
But their voices are lost in the flowing tide.
There's one, with the ringlcts of sunRy gold,
And eyes the reflection of Heavens own blue;
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold.
And the pale mist hid him from mortal viewi
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates of the city we could not see.
Over the river, over the river,
Ny brother stands waiting to welcome Inc,
Over the river the boatman pale,
Carried another, the household pet,
Her brown curls wave in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie see her yet
She crossed on her bosom her dmpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark,
We felt il glide from the silver sand
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all ;he ransomed and angels be,
Over the river, the mystic river,
Ny childhoods idol is waiting for me
For none return from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale,
We hear the dip of the golden oars
And catch Il gleam of the snowy sail.
And 10 They have passed from our yearnmg
hearts,
They cross the stream and are gone-for aye!
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates OF day.
We only know that their barks no mCrr
May sail with us DER lifo's stormy sea;
Yet somehow know. OH the unseen shore,
They watch and beckou, and wait for NE
And sit ind think, when the sunsets gold
Isflushng river, and hill, nnd shore,
l shall one day stand by the water cold,
Aud list for the sound of the bOa;mans oar;
shall watch for CLEAN nf the Tapping sail,
] shall hear the boat as it gains the strand,
shall pass from sight. with the b0atnan pale,
To the better shore Of the spirit land;
shall know the loved who have gone before
And joyfuIly sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
Teh Angel of Death shall carry me.

Among the appliances which have null
tiplied thousand fold the power of man
in moulding the substances of nature into
forms adapted to the qualification OF his
wants, there are few that rank higher Ill
importance than the humble little instru-
ment which is named at the head of this
article. In numbers, nails far surpaSs any
other thing which is employed in any OF
the arts, and the part that they play in
the construction of our dwellings, ships,
furniture and other fabrics is so great that,
if they were annihilatcd, the whole order
and movement of life would be changed.
In the old plan of making nails by hand,
the end of the nail rod was headed, ham,
mered down on an anvil into the required
shape and form, pointed, cut off and
headed. In the neighborhood Of Man.
chester alone, sixty thousand persons
were employed in this occupation, and
great numbers in all other parts Of the
civilized world. BY the present plan OF
cutting the nails, one steam engine drives
several machines, and each machine
making hundred nails per minutei the
workmen having nothing to do but to lay
on the plates, and to put the finished nails
into the kegs.
The saving of labor is also very great to
those who use the nails. With the wrought
nail it was necessary to bore hole in most
kinds of wood before the nail was driven 4;
but the cut nail is so formed that it can
be driven into the solid wood without
danger of splitting. Probably five or ten
cut nails are driven in the same time as
one wrought nail. The cut nail, too.
from two of its sides being parallel, and
from the roughness of its edge, retains its
hold more firmly in the wood.
The machinery for making cut nails is
wholly of American invention, and IS the
result of series of efforts by several diff
fcrent inventors. About the time of the
close of the Revolution, two brothers OF
the name of Wilkinson, who had IRON
works in Cumberland, L. l., cut lot Of
nails from some old barrel hoops" Span
ish hoops" as they were called; and these
are supposed to have been the first cut
nails ever made. The first patent for a
nail-cutting machine was granted on the
23d of March, 1894, to Josiah G. Person,
of New York, and from that time to 1917,
more than one hundred patents were
issued. In 1910, Albert Gallatin, Sccre-
tary of the Treasury, made an elaborate
report on this subject, an dhc estimated
that million of dollars had then been eX-
pended in bringing nail-makins ma
chinery to perfection. The machines are
now models of simplicity and effective
ness, and they release vast number OF
hands to be employed i'll the production
of wealth in other forms.
