Montorsoli, Even IN his day some
doubt was expressed as 20 the &C.

to chance upon a fragment which un-
doubtedly formed part OF a ~reproduc-

BATTLE LITERATURE.
A Feature Of Military Description
Which Has Been Hitherto Ne
elected by Historians.

One OF the publishing houses Is said
to have under way a project for a
joint history OF the civil wal to be
writtea in combination by a major
general of the Union army Howard)
and a lieutenant general Of the conted.
crate army tLee).
The field of war literature has been
fairly well covered, but there remains
one feature Of military description
which. however unsatisfactory it might
be to soldiers and TO those having tech
nical knowledge OF the art OF war,
would be a refreshing novelty to lay
men II il were introduced into the new
history. That is a comprehensive ac-
count of a battle-comprshensiye and
comprehensive.
The ordinary style Of battle descrIp-
ton as written by soldiers goes TO the
extreme Of technical detail about as fol-
lows:
our line extended for about six
miles irregularly from the fork OF
the plank road 10 the bank Of the Sus-
Queegee. n mile south by west from
the Tobin farmhouse. On the left was
JohnsOn's corps CONNECTING with Ma
jor's detachment OF sharpshooters, be-
hind which Though a little to the
front OF the Williams brigadel was the
Jones cavalry.
Along the center were the corps OF
Thompson. RodericK and Henderson.
On the right were Irregular masses OF
cavalry. the heavy artillery OF Smiths
brigade. detachedfrom the S~1nderson le-
gion. There were in ali $4,000 troops,
and euyone standing on an emineuce
could from the above description see
exactly how they were placed.
Opposite. nine divisions OF the en-
envy. vsriousiy estimated az from $500
10 $1,000 men, awaited the signal 10
attack. Az the FIRST shot Johnson's
brigade moved diagonally IN front OF
Thompson's division. supported by
Smith's brigade. which cut on the ad-
vance Of sanderson's legion.
"The forces Of Roderlck feil back
and those Of Major advanced north
westerly, throwing 1000 men into the
entertainments between the lines or
Henderson's force and Smiths detach-
ment. So placed, our forces were ready
to withstand. either on the right. left
or center. any attack Of the enemy.
AS may be seen at a glance from
this changed position, the enemy cross
ing the plank road near Thomas barn
could by a flank movement Oyerpower
the portion of RodeHck's detachment
which, Notwithstanding an enhlading
are. had crossed 10 the position va
Gated by Sanderson's troops IN their
concentric movement toward the Rob
erts farm. For t~hree-quarters OF an
hour the battle ragged within these
lines. when a sudden shout going up
from the extreme left wing showed
that the Jones forces had crossed ir-
regularly % a position in front OF
Aliens division Of Johnson's brigade.
This skillful tactical movement
turned the enemy's right IN confusion.
and Il fell back on Warren's HnI.
around which the battle now RACED.
Al noon the enemy retired. leaving
1900 prisoners. 500 stand OF arms, 8
guns and enormous stores. Our loss
was 1 wounded and II missing"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order TO get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also ahects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De
faaee Starch. as II can be applied
much more thinly because OF It's great
er strength than other makes.
