iron hail, which assailed him. souadrons th,s oVlcer came rapidly into action, the

ment was most critical ; Captain O'Brien
with two pieces had sustained this heavy
charge to the last, and was obliged to
leave his guns in the field his infantry
support being entirely routed. Captain
Bragg, who had just arrived from the left,
was ordered at once into the battery.
Without any infantry to support him, and
ting tho will, assured that in this, as in all oth
er cases, where there Is a will there is, or soon
will be found, a way to- do every thing. Time
and public anxiety will soon workout the plan.
But, as Mr. Howard wisely remarks, to prevent
miscarriage we should; be careful on that point.
In regard, then, to tlje plan and course of in
struction, it may be of; some use to give from
the English " Agricultural Magazinee" an out
line of a course of instruction adopted in a dis
tinguished agricultural training school, at which
