The Nayy's Workmanship

"The criterion Of target practice is
the actual number of hits per minute"
said Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte.
MANY ships now average between rs
and 80 hits per minute with all their
main battery guns, whereas in former
days the percentage was rarely over 40,
even though firing slowly at a target
more than seven times as large as the
present one. Then the target was 100
feet long and Is feet high; today it is
21 feet long and IL feet high. This in
crease in hitting ability is due to the
assiduous training in shs target prac-
tices which have been carried out under
the new system adopted and also to i'm
provement in ordnance. Going back to
1898, when the navy was using black
powder and when sights and other parts
of the equipment were poorly develop
ed, our firing was both slow and inac-
curate. At that time it was considered
satisfactory, if 12-inch gun fired one
shot in five minutes. But with each
subsequent improvement in ordnance
the rapidity was somewhat increased,
and by carrying out systematic target
practice the present striking efficiency
has been attained. For example, the
the heavy turret guns that were but a
few years ago allowed FIVE minutes in
which to IRE shut, havee ha7e recently recently fred
three shots and made three hits in one
minute. "-Greenville News. !; -,

little taken from the stapnant nooIs
along the road, and seeing the enemy
again preparing to receive us. we
halted our men ard gave them several
hours rest. Everything being ready,
a sf )rt march brought us within sivht
of Richmond, where the enemy made a
third stand, when we moved on and
attacked them the third time. After
hard fighting we routed them, and
drove them through the place a little
before sundown, in utter confusion.
In this last fight we did not lose many
men, but we captured from 1.200 to
1850 prisoners, besides their killed and
wounded. After we had whipped them
IN front and started them running,
Colonel --, with his command, who
had been sent around on the Lexington
road to catch them, keeping his com
mand in ambush until the retreating
army came up, attacked them and sue
ceeded in capturing and killing nearly
the whole army, taking all their guns
and some ten pieces Of artillery, with
all their wagons, stores, etc. 1t is
estimated that their killed, wounded
and missing will reach some 10000,
while ours will not reach more than
from 300 to 500 killed and wounded.
Their loss in killed and wounded Off
GERS is very heavy. The troops were
from Ohio. Indiana, and Kentucky, and
commanded by Gen. Bull Nelson-Col-
onel Cassius N. Clay commanded a
brigade. General Smith commanded
our troops, and by hard fighting and
the blessing of Cod, we destroyed their
fine army. 1t was grand sight to
see our ill-clad, and sometimes bare
footed troops, with no food and but
little water, marching with steady
front On their splendidly equipped foe.
1t was one of the grandest battles
ever saw.
ut filled our hearts with pride to
see our men move ownward and never
give away. Glory be to God on high
for the splendid result.
General Smith and staff escaped
unhurt.

Colonel requested him to call the cor

which was promptly done.
The next morning after the old
guard was relieved, the Colonel's or

a War Reminiscsn:e.

1t was during the winter of 18s4S65,
which will long be remembered by the
soldiers who took part in the campaign
in the Valley Of Virginia, as one which
tried mems souls and their heels also,
that the thrilling scene occurred which
l am about to describe.
The old Fourth Cavalry was on a
forced march down the Valley to meet
column of the enemy which was ad-
vancing; and after days ride went
intol bivouac just at nightfall on the
. roadside. "..'E T.. J., : :
