mot less ingenious was the device
almost instinctively resorted to by the
artillerists for the safety of the gun
ners when, after the siege batteries
opened, the Confederate sharpshooters
began picking off every head that came
In sight. The first day saw number
OF gunnerS stricken in the act of taking
aim, an incident not conducive to de-
liberation or accuracy ON the part of
their successors at the guns. The next
sunrise saw every exposed battery, from
right to left, protected by a hinged
shutter made Of fiat iron chiefly taken
from the sugar troughs, covered with
strips of rawhide from the Commits
cotton, and a hole made through all,
big enough for the gunners eye, but
too small for the sharpshooters bullet.
Such was substantially the plan stimuli
taneously adopted at three or four diff
ferent points and afterwards followed
everywhere. The remedy was perfect"

Close Work.

Col. Twins History continues:
las the saps in front of Bainbridge's
and Duryea's batteries drew every day
nearer to the bastion and the priest
cap, the working parties were harassed
and began TO be greatly delayed by the
unceasing fire Of the Confederate sharp
shooters. Moreover, In spite Of the vigil
lance OF the sharpshooters In the
trenches, their adversaries had so much
the advantage of ground that they were
able TO render the passage Of certain
exposed points Of the approaches slow
and hazardous. At first, cotton bales
were used to protect the head of the
sap, but these the adventurous enemy
set alight with blazing arrows or by
sallies OF small parties under cover of
darkness. In the short night 1t was
impossible to raise a pile Of sand-bags
high enough to overlook the breast
works. Toward the end OF June this
was changed in a single night by the
skill and ingenuity of Col. Edward
Prince. Of the 7th III. Cav.

First. In accordance with your in

appeared before the Republican cen
tral committee of this county last Sat
urday afternoon to present to that
body your unanimous request that it
would join with yon in requiring the
registration at the approaching pri-
maries, both in the city and the coun-
ty, with the proposition that you bear
one-half the expense Of copying the
male registration, and that the com
mittee sustain the other half of the ex-
pense. Although I asked the commit
tee for an opportunity to present the
matter / was denied the privilege of
addressing them, and was unceremoni-
ously and inSultingly dismissed by a
motion to adjourn.
Second. recommend to you that
you make registration a qualification
for the approaching city primary cleo
ton, and in order that this recon-
mendation may bear with no hardship
upon the candidates before our pri-
maries, I agree, with the advice and
aid Of my fellow members of this com
mittee, to raise, by outside and volun-
tary subscription, the money to defray
the cost of such copy OF the registra-
ton as viii be necessary
Third. I recommend that at this
meeting you authorize your executive
committee to prescribe such other
qualifications as may be proper. and to
fix the date of holding the approach
ing city primary election"
