vance at o'clock, and precisely at that
hour the signal gun was heard from
our center. Instantly the troops moved
forward at Quick-step and In admir-
able order. The front line had bayo-
volley and then use the bayOnet. The
fire Of the enemy's artillery on both
sides of the river commenced as soon
as the troops entered the open ground.
When less than half the distance across
the field a force was discovered extend
ing considerably beyond our right. ]
Immediately ordered Maj. Graves to
move q battery to our right and open
on them. He at once advanced Wright's
Battery and effectually checked their
movement. Before our line reached the
enemy's position his artillery fire had
become heavy. accurate and destruc-
tive. Many officers and men fell before
we closed with their infantry, yet our
brave fellows rushed forward with the
utmost determination, and after a brief
but bloody conflict routed both the op-
posing lines, took 400 prisoners and
several flags and drove their artillery
and the great body of their infantry
across the river. Many were killed at
the waters edge. Their artillery took
time by the forelock in crossing the
stream. A few of our men in their ar
dor actually crossed over before they
could be prevented, most Of whom, mov-
ing up under the west bank, recrossed
at a ford three-ruarters of q mile above.
The second line had halted when the
first engaged the enemy's infantry, and
laid down under orders; but very soon

that the artillery on the opposite bank
was more fatal to the second line than
the first, and the eagerness Of the troops
impelled them forward, and at the de-
cisive moment, when the opposing in
fantry was routed, the two lines had
mingled into one. A strong force Of
the enemy beyond our extreme right
yet remained on the east side Of the
river. Presently a new line Of battle

applied is uneven and all the time much
stronger than that which comes from
the use Of steam in the more modern
distilleries. The fermentation OF the
mash Is not conducted upon scientific
principles. but according to methods
and practices handed down through
generations of distillers and which are
largely on the rule OF thumb" method.
These are. as q rule. quite wasteful,
since they do not get all the possible
alcohol to be furnished by the scientific
fermentation Of the starch In the grain.
Most OF them do not carry their fer
mentation far enough. and consequently
much OF the starch passes of into the

far and allow q portion Of the alcohol
to change into acetic acid. In the fer

In the oldfashioned way the 'low
wines" first brought over had to be re-
distilled to get rid of much water and
great many impurities. This was cost
ly and therefore wasteful. SO that the
modern stills and the process by which
they are used have been skillfully con-
structed and carried on to avoid it, The
alcohol produced from corn in the West
by this means is the best in the world
and Is conspicuously superior to that
produced in Europe from potatoes and
from apparatus which has not reached
the perfection that American distillers
nave. European alcohol is always more
or less contaminated with non-alcoholic
substances and nauseating odors.
