d then spread on the grass to dry and get wet alternately; the showers, sun, and air completing the preparation of the fiber for the mechanical treatment, — the brake and the scutcher. This exposure to weather is termed grassing. The time occupied in retting is from six to twenty days, according to temperature. Dew retting is accomplished by exposing the flax stalks to the weather, without steeping, the sun, showers, and air rotting the woody portion and washing away the mucilage. Schenck's retting apparatus, 1851, consists of circular vats, in which the flax is placed, being kept down by a weight while it is swelled by water maintained at a heat of 90° by the introduction of steam Passing to the acetous fermentation, the mucilage is rendered perfectly soluble and is run off, the flax being then removed and dried. The process takes about sixty hours. The flax is exposed to the air upon frames or dried by steam heat. Bower's retting process (English) consists in alternate

tered out of service; which order was countermanded. On the 30th, were ordered to Baltimore, Md., to report to Major-General Schenck, as there were fears of an attack on that city by the enemy. On July 1, it was assigned to the brigade under coe, to report to General Dix. At the colonel's request, orders were received to proceed to Baltimore, and report to General Schenck. Arriving there, it remained at Camp Bradford until July 7, when it was ordered to report to General Naglee, who, ueck, proposed that the regiments volunteer for service in Pennsylvania; and the Forty-sixth was ordered to report to General Schenck. The regiments reached Baltimore July 1, and were assigned to the brigade of General Tyler, commanding the exterioeral Naglee to offer the service of the regiment for the emergency; and, being accepted, it was ordered to report to General Schenck at Baltimore, who was in command of the Middle Department. Arriving in Baltimore July 1, it was ordered to occupy

just arrived at Sudley Church. Burnside's handsome Rhode Island brigade, Hunter's advance, which had covered his front with skirmishers, was then with the remainder of the division taking a rest. Burnside deployed under the eye of McDowell, and his front swept on, guiding itself by the Sudley and Manassas wagon road down the gentle slopes toward the valley of Young's Branch. Evans, the quick-witted Confederate commander with that demibrigade at the Stone Bridge, began to suspect that Schenck and Sherman, the advance of Tyler, notwithstanding their bustle and noise, were not earnest in their threatened assault; for they rattled away with their musketry, but did no more. Evans first sent a regiment up the Bull Run toward Burnside and then very soon changed his whole front to the left and pushed over toward the Manassas and Sudley Springs road in front of Burnside's skirmishers; he posted his men so as to face north, covering them as well as he could by uneven ground and trees,

eton, was faced northward and pushed forward toward Stonewall Jackson. McDowell with King's and Ricketts's divisions and Porter's corps was also ordered to come up to the left of Sigel. Sigel deployed his troops as early as 5 A. M. and moved carefully and steadily forward. Soon a stubborn resistance came from Jackson's chosen position. It was a hard battle that day, begun differently from the first battle of Bull Run, but not far from that point. Sigel put in the divisions of Schurz, Schenck, Milroy, and Reynolds, and kept on firing and gaining ground till noon, when the ardent Kearny arrived. By two o'clock Hooker and Reno also were on the ground. Pope coming up rearranged the battle front; he placed Kearny's troops on his right, Reynolds's on his left, with Hooker's and Reno's at the center, and then made a reserve. There was irregular fighting till about 4.30, when a desperate attack was made. Kearny and Hooker got nearer and nearer, firing and advancing, till it appe

ven Ewell across the Potomac into Cumberland Valley with a view of scattering the troops, so as to live on the country and bring together and send to him much-coveted and much-needed contributions of food for his large command. But for some reason there was at Washington a want of confidence in General Hooker. Troops which were promised for this purpose were never sent; some which had been ordered and had set out for the rendezvous were stopped by Heintzelman's or Halleck's subordinates. Schenck furnished a few — a single brigade — under Colonel Lockwood; but these were insufficient for the avowed purpose, and what was worse to Hooker than the withholding was the manner in which it was done. Hooker was, at that time, suffered to be overridden by subordinate commanders, whom, to his chagrin, his seniors in authority sustained. On June 24th we were still at Goose Creek. The day before, my brother, the Rev. R. B. Howard, a member of the celebrated Christian Comimission. reached
