martial was held in both cases.

terday with two guns and fifteen men, under
instructions from Captain Ludinston. The

saved-at least none is made public for OBJ
vious reasons. 1t is known, however that
the boys made many hits. The battery is pre-
serving great secrecy as to its methods and
appliances for action, and under good gener
alshlp expects to win out. Regular artillery

the boys certainly understand their business.
