Brigade to come up and relieve the First, and
ON accommodating the position Of the enemy it
was discovered that two batteries and a large
force of infantry were in line of battle in tho
edge of the woods, about three fourths OF a
mile in front, and that considerable bodies of
infantry were moving down the road leading to
the right and rear of the Union forces.
About 8 p m. Gen. Banks and staff arrived
upon the field, and disposition of the troops
made in accordance with Gen. Baukss di-
rections.
About p. m. the enemy commenced to adj
vance his lines across the open field in 'front.'
and Col. Landram, on the right of the Union
front, advanced his line and opened fire on the
enemy, who was in good range and advancing
in two lines His first line was driven back in
confusion upon his second, but recovering he
again advanced, but unable to endure the heavy
fire. halted about 200 yards from the front of the
Union lines. In the meantime the enemy had
succeeded in turning the left flank of the Union
forces had taken Minis battery, and were
pouring destructive fire into the batteries Of
the Fourth Division. Gen. Ransom gave orders
to his Assistant Adiutant General, Capt
Dickey. to order COL Landram to withdraw
his division TO the edge of the timber in the
rear but while in the performance Of this duty
Capt. Dckey was mortaly wounded, and some
Of the regiments not receiving the orders were
surrounded and their retreat cut off while they
were CALAMITY fighting the superior force of
the enemy in front.
While Gen. Ransom was engaged with Col.
Landram in reforming the line in the edge of
the woods he was severely wounded in the
knee, and carried to the rear, Gen. Cameron
then succeeding to bis command.
The Union forces fought with great gall
lantry, but were unable to overcome the
largely-superior force of the enemy.

for the mouth of q cannon. A land attacking
army would meet with quick and decisive fate
from these arrays Of guns, and could inflict
little harm in return. Here the gunners could
work almost entirely concealed from danger.
They would be at hight of several hundred
feet and the openings are very small. Besides,
there would be perfectly safe storages for any
amount OF ammunition. Were an army TO
attack from this side the ground could be swept
by such a storm of leaden hail that it would
not be possible to stand for any length of time.
A part of these galleries are shown 10 no
one. What is being done or what has boon
done is only matter Of conjecture. Pos
sibly some lew experiment is being tried or
some new engines of destruction being put in.
Al the summit there are two peaks-on one
is battery and on the other signal station.
The battery consists OF only one gun, and yet
il is considered more effective than a common
battery of score. 1t is of the latest pattern,
and has just been put up. With it, at its high
elevation of 400 feet, the officials claim they
could sweep the whole of the straits, and even
reach the coast Of Africa, Is miles away. OF
course this claim has never been verified. The
gun is rapid firing one 1t is also SO placed
that it is claimed TO be an impossibility TO dis
mount it by a shot from below. No curve
could be fred that could possibly reach it.
On the other summit is the signal station.
This is furnished with the best instruments,
and every vessel as soon as sighted is tele-
graphed to headquarters below. No feet could
approach by day without being seen a long
distance away, and at night strong electric
search-lights could be thrown out for an i'm
mense distance. One battery is now being
mounted below so that it could be fired from
this signal station by means of electric wires,

The old guns are now being replaced by new

Former So or l00-ton guns are now represented
by guns OF less weight but more service. Even

many of the groups of guns now seen are

This possession of England has proven a

a million dollars from the treasury in improve

and the rest are artillery, with very few

Without further Introduction TO the

had the effect Of attaching greater inter-
est to its coming.
"Mc" and ME" excuse their advent

torial and the chief news item OF the

NOT FAIR.

The extension OF the time tor the
Gardiner Electric Light company to
comply with it's contract to furnish light
for the city is hardly fair to those al
ready in the business and amply able to
furnish light--providing the city really
wants the light. In the beginning this
company was given long time in
which to complete its plant, and fur
ther extension Of sixty days is unrea-
sonable. That it will ever be able to
to compete with the Phoenix Light and
Power Company is not within the range
OF possibility, and that it is now or ever
will act in good faith with the city 10
susceptible OF doubt.
The mem bers OF the city council, in
order to encourage the company, agreed
to wait until October ], for it to begin
furnishing light and now, in the kind
ness Of their hearts, the time is ex-
tended for sixty days longer.
The proper thing to have done under
the circumstances, the history Of the
Gardiner company considered, would
have been to declare the contract for
feited and have placed the order with
the Phoenix Light and Power company,
responsible concern.
The winter season is approaching
when the city should be we'll lighted,
and the people are paying heavy tax
in various ways ungrudgingly for lights
and other service.
1t is matter OF business that the
lights be furnished at the earliest posi-
BILE moment. The council should
waste no time with irresponsible con-
Germs that may never be able to carry
out their contracts.
The service performed by the Phoenix
Light and Power company has on the
contrary been satisfactory and it is en-
titled to the business.
