The heights of Arlon were defended by 16 , 000 Austrian soldiers under Beaulieu . This general ' s vanguard was forced to retire at the bridge in Aubange by Lefebvre who , ignoring his orders and pursuing the enemy as far as the heights of Bubange , suddenly found himself in front of Beaulieu ' s forces that stopped his advance . Jourdan was forced to demote Lefebvre so as not to leave him exposed to a bombardment that would be as murderous as it would be useless , and the affair was postponed until the following day . On 18 April Lefebvre , Morlot and Hatry made a frontal assault on the Austrian redoubt s , but at the moment they had formed up for a bayonet charge , the division under Championnet , which had turned the enemy left in taking the heights of Toernich , threw the Austrian ranks into such disorder that they fled on the road to Luxembourg . Many were killed by the light artillery under general Debelle , whose batteries had followed Championnet ' s movement . On this occasion Championnet was made chef de brigade ( colonel ) . The left of the Army of the Moselle set up base in Arlon , but Beaulieu returned in force on 29 April and surprised Hatry and Championnet who , at their turn , had to retreat in disorder to Aubange and Longwy .

On the 22nd of February they entered Inverness where they expelled the garrison of Inverness Castle and afterwards demolished the walls and fortifications .

Beardslee Telegraph The Beardslee Telegraph was a portable military telegraph developed by George Beardslee and adopted by Albert Myer to provide a mobile field telegraph system . The instrument was operated by hand - turned magnetos and did not require the heavy batteries needed in the civilian telegraphs . It included an alphabet dial and pointer instead of the usual key for transmission . Limitations of the instrument were its short range of about ten miles due to insufficient power , slow transmission , and frequent lack of synchronization between sending and receiving sets . It was first used 24 May 1862 in the Peninsular campaign . Its first major triumph was during the Battle of Fredricksburg when it provided Burnside with communications across the river when fog and smoke had rendered the usual visual signal communication impossible . Its popularity declined after this battle because it was often competing with the faster and more powerful commercial telegraph facilities . In November 1863 , most of the equipment was discarded . Only the insulated field wire remained in military use . Operation . The Beardslee telegraph operated using a magneto . The magnetos generated power to send electricity over the telegraph wire . The operator needed only to move the lever to a point on the dial representing the letter that he wished to send as part of his message . On the receiving end , the dial would move to the corresponding position on the dial . Results . Slow Rate of Transmission . The Beardslee was considered to be capable of only a slow rate of transmission . The dial consisted of thirty positions around the circumference . In the worst case of a double letter , all thirty positions must be traversed to send the second iteration . The advancing mechanism is an escapement very similar as would be found in a pendulum driven clock . Each advance would require two movements of the escapement . Each movement would advance the dial six degrees with twelve degrees per step being 360 / 30 . Therefore 60 movements would be required . Because of these factors , nothing over 5 words per minute would have been achieved .
