Of nil the struggles of the war this
[ at the Blood } ' Anglo ) was porhnps the
licrcost and most deadly. The ground
was literally covered with piles of
dead , and the woods in front of the
salient were- ono hideous Golj > otha. 1
sim ixwuro that this langunio ; may re-
soinblo exaggeration , but I speak of
what 1 personally saw. In the vicious
phraseology commonly employed by
those who never witnessed n bxttlo- ;
field , "piles of dead" figures much
moro frequently than they o.vist in
the reality. They phrase is hero no
figure of speech , as c.in bo attested by
thousands \\liowitnessodtlio ghastly
scene [ Swinton's Army of the Pete
mac.
mac.As
As seen by the stranger this historic
hamlet is n place uf interest even
aaido from its connection with the
battle-field. It consists of n group of
si half-dozen buildings , continl nmoiii ;
which is the court-house , n sinnll , old-
fashioned brick structure , in the midst
of n delightful grove and u lawn car
peted with grass. In the summer
cedars and sycamores give good shade
to the people who came hero to settle
their disputes , while in the winter
warmth of both kinds from lire-place
and demijohn is always on hand ut
the big tavern across the way. Were
it not for the iron-bound windows and
the defiant faces occasionally seen
peering therefrom the jail would look
like a plain dwelling liouso , and so ,
similarly , the only sign to indicate
that another building is n store is n
number of empty dry goods boxes
piled in front. The public pump at
the point in front of the tavern where
the Frcdcricksburg road joins the
Brock road is visited now and then
by little darkeys who balance buckets
upon their heads and in the evenings
a few children play hall , ummbloty-
peg and scratch-my-back around the
gate of the court-houso yard. It is a
piece of the country with the barest
hint of town life.
SIGNS or THI : sTuunou : .
No ono is apt to think as ho rests
on the broad bench of the tavern
porch , , sees the sheep in the field a
dozen steps away , hears the jingle of
the cow bolls just down the road , and
catches the fragrance blown up from
the meadow , that hero Grant and Lee ,
joining in bloody combat , wrestled
for twelve days. Nevertheless , it
needs but a glance in any direction to
see evidences of the struggle. The
court liouso still carries its scars , the
heavy columns of the hotel porch
show a number of shell marks , and
all around arc remains of earth-works
that stretch for miles to the north
and south. Grant's place of head
quarters , below the Fredericksburg
road , has little of interest about it ,
the Nye is an ordinary streamthe Po ,
on the other side of the battlo-fiold ,
is like the commonest of Virginia
crooks , and Laurel Hill , where the
action of the Oth occurred , is thickly
timbered as of yore. Mounds and
rifle-pits are seen at various points ,
and the place near the Po where some
of Hancock's men found themselves
with a fierce fee in front and a raging
wood fire behind yet shows remnants
of burnt timber , indicative of the
fray. I sought unsuccessfully for the
spot where lion-hearted Sedgwick fell.
That glorious old warrior's lines are
plainly traceable on the Alsop farm ,
and Sir. Alspp thinks that ho knows
the fatal point now marked by a
dead oak but there is no certainty
as to the placo.
AT THE EDOK OP TH1J AND Mi.
The deputy sheriff , inn-keeper and
leading citizen of the settlement , Mr.
Ashby , who is a kinsman of the brill
iant cavalryman of that name , kindly
oll'ercd to show mo what was to bo
seen , and after breakfast wo started
for what ho called the "Hornehoe , "
or as it is moro generally known the
"Bloody Anglo. " Driving northward
on the level Brock road for less than
half a milo , wo wheeled abruptly into
a by-way to the right , and began to
pass through a thicket of small pines.
These evergreens , which have grown
on the margin of the 'McCool farm
since the battle , threaten to choke
the narrow road. What wo wore goIng -
Ing through was moro like a bridle
path than a place for wheels , but ,
heedless of the ends of limbs that
whipped him in the eyes mid brushed
against the sides of the buggy , our
horse dashed along , fetching us finally
. to a fallow field , wherein stands the
McCool house. This place is ono of
grim fame and lasting history , for in
the woods hereabouts death's maw
was gorged in the longest , fiercest ,
ghastliest hand-to-hand coin bat known
to man. Tull oaks surround the
house , which is a weather-beaten ,
rickotry fstructuro that clearly has
boon through the mills. At the time
of the battle the dwelling was occu
pied by Farmer McCool , bachelor ,
with his two maiden sisters. When
it grow hot and deafening all around
the family wont into the collar , and
there , Miss Millie , sitting by the side
of her sick sister , wrote the following
note :
Grant , General ;
Sin I desire that you stop this
nasty fighting. . Tlioro is a sick lady
in the house.
Mii.niiEi )
A trembling courier in the person
of a black boy succeeded in delivering
the note within the Union lines , but
oddly enough the battle was allowed
to continue.
"And would you believe it ! " Miss
Millie was wont to exclaim in chats
with her neighbors many a year there
after , "and would you really believe
it ! the Yankee gentleman wasn't gen
tleman enough to grant a lady's re
quest. "
"Shamo ! shame ! " would como in
chorus , ami Miss Millie's ancient rock
ing-chair would stand still from the
very amazement of the good woman
between its arms. And to this day
Grant is held up by Miss Millie's
as a person who is "no gentleman. "
One morning , two days afterwards , it
was so quiet that the occupants of the
cellar concluded that the storm had
swept over , and Farmer McCool cau
tiously thrust Ins head up from below
A Union soldier who saw the head
grabbed it , and the old man ducked
down , leaving his wig in possession of
the laughing sharpshooter.

Such incidents were pleasant to
hear as wo left the house , went out at
a farm ga'o at the foot of the hillside
lawn and drove through a belt of
ancient and towering oaks to the
Bloody Anglo. Wo struck the apex
at a point where the earthworks stnud
knee high. The line runs to the right
as far as the eye can sco along the
edge of a thick woods , and to the loft
directly into the depth of a mass of
scrub oaks and pines. In front of us
ten yards away , was a little , yellowish ,
clay-plastered house , recently built.
Beyond was a field of corn and down
the V-shaped clearing , at the point of
which wo wore , could be seen the
Landrum house a quarter of a milo
away. Walking along the line of
earthworks to the left wo found little
except ix continuous low mound , top
ped by trees of recent growth , and wo
were soon tired of the sameness of the
thing. Then we icturued by the
same earthworks , being on thu line of
an obtuse angle , and againre.ichod the
apex near Jolt's log cabin. The other
side of the angle is much more inter
esting. Thu p.irapct is high. It is
uasy to see that the breastworks , up
to my chin in many places , wcro
turned , for there are ditches on each
side of the long line. The yellow
mouldering trunks of trees , rotting
stumps , logs full of bullet-holes that
look as though that wcro worm-holes ,
hundreds upon hundreds of rusty can
teens , pieces of shoe leather , rem
nants of rubber blankets , bits of cart
ridge-boxes , and hero and there small
bones are scattered every whore along
the lino. Corn grows in a part of thu
space over which Hancock charged up
to the works , but on the other side ,
whence came Leo's assaults , is what
is left of the old growth of oak , to
gether with a dense thicket of young
dogwood sprung up within the last
fifteen years.
TIIC OAK FJ3LLBI > UV I1ULI.ETS.
These sights made nmdo mo feel
moro forcibly than over before that I
was indeed at the heart of a battlo-
fiold. I wanted to stop at every stump
to pick for bullets , forgetting that
such a precious thing as lead must
havu been berne away long ago , 1 was
of the mind to kick the dead leaves
from every ritlo-pit , of which there
worn scores. I oven searched for the
spot whence had been drawn the
stump of the rod oak that was hacked
down by minie-balls. And no doubt in
the eagerness of the hour I made
myself an object of siiprcssed merri
ment to Mr. AshbyH in whom familiar
ity with the place had bred contempt.
If such were the humor of my genial
guide ho concealed it with the grace
of his family and lead mo pleasantly
along the crest of the works , which
curve to the south and come to an end
at hist moro than a quarter ot n mile
from the cabin at the apex. Half
way around the horseshoe wo saw an
old man sitting on a log picking black-
bueries , which grow thickly at his
right hand.
"Yes , sir , " ho said , in reply to a
question , "they tuck mo right heah at
this heah spot. I was with Johnson's
Brigade , Swell's Co'a , and on the
mo'nin" of the twolf of May , sixty-
fonh , I had my ole gun stickin1 under
this heah very log dts un right heah
I b'long up in Orange , and boin's
I was at Fredericksburg thought I'd '
como over and look at her. Vamnio
if 'tain't the same ole log she's right
heah. "
"Then you wore captured along
with the 4,000 other Johnnies ? "
"SVcll , now , I want you to , hush.
Wish I may drap dead if I wan't
bangin' "way "bout daybread in the
mo'nin' when I see some Yanks a
comin1 'cross from the house there
away. I picks out a fat Dutchman
and eays to Jerry Mulroy , of Cul-
peper , says 1 : " .lorry , my dear , jes
see mo pepper that d n Dutch Yank. '
I pulls and the Dutchman drops , and
I starts to bite a ca'triduo againwhen
1 hears sdmo 'un kind o'cold-like say :
'Drap Unit gun ! ' I looks over my
ifhouldcr , and damme , gentlemen , if
thar wan't ii'Yank with his svord
drawn standin' over mo right at my
back. Mo' 'an that ; wish I way die
if the woods wan't full of 'em chuck
full of Yanks , and how they got be
hind us I do'an know. But 1 drappcd
her quick and walked oft" to Wash
ington. "
11KLICR AND IIUHIKI ) CANNON.
This further end of the salient is
now covered with young pines and
persimomns. The ditches , dug in such
haste , with spade and bayonet , seven
teen years ago , are now partly filled
with leaves and shatters , while briars ,
wild vines , the ox-dyo daisy and blup-
flowered nettles now sot traps to trip
the footman in his rambles. Mr.
Ashby tolls mo that the lead picked
up on the McCool projjui ty after the
battle was sold for twice as much as
the property was worth. For months
the darkeys of the county dug among
tlio intronchmciits in search of bul
lets , shells and scraps of brass. It is
iv bit of local tradition that four brass
guns are buried in the corn-field near
the old man Jctt's hut , which is not
moro than two hundred feet from the
place where the famous red oak stood.
These delightful evenings , when the
good people of the country round
about gather upon the tavern porch ,
the story of the cannon comes up and
it is decided that they ought to bo
dug for , but Mr. Jolt hoes his corn
In peace and without 'fear. Ho isn't
afraid of ghosts , and though many
skeletons no doubt lie under their thin
crust within sight of his door ,
ho has yet to hear the midnight sound
that startles him from slumber. Hero
moro men than there are oars of corn
in his clearing or hairs in his bushy ,
gray beard , gave up tieir ] lives , but
this tenant of the bloodiest corner of
a bloody battle-field smokes his pipe
and scratches his head in utter uncon
cern.
cern.THE ULOUY OK TJIU VOLUNTKKIl.
Hero was the most perfect realiza
tion of the glory of the volunteer ,
and ho who walks upon this ground
musfporforco pay a tribute , not to
Grant , not to Hancock , not to Miles ,
but to the man with the knapsack and
the gun. When the Union lines
wavered the day before , officers spoke
of the men as cowards. The truth
was that the officers were at fault and
the men know it. When the attack
upon this salient was made the sol
diers saw that the right thing had
been planned , and then they moved to
the slaughter with faultless step and
incomparable steadiness.
A sunny , sultry day had closed in n.
thunderstorm and the 10,000 men of
Hancock's Second corps found the
night wet and raw. When the first
gray streak of dawn stretches along
the sky of the east they foiin for the
charge , and at half-past 4 they moyo
silently and swiftly up a slope , through
thick woods , across a clearing and
strike the enemy. They bay
onet hundreds of Kwell's
men in the trenches and
capture 4,000 more. They give and
take , and for two hours work with
spade and gun to hold what they have
gained. Then the Sixth Corps , Now
Yorkers Pennsylvanians , Green
Mountain boys , men from Ohio , plant
themselves mound the ang'o ' of cap
tured works , and for twenty hours
light fiercely in the never-ending ro.ir.
Leo has lost a point , and with this-
perato purposes , time and again , ho
hurls the pick of his veterans host
s.ivagely down into the woods. On
ono side of the bank of earth floats
the flag , bullet-spotted and in slucds
and tatters , and on the other droops
the torn b.uinor of the South. The
trenches on ono side are filled with
Union dead , and on the other are
heaps of rebel slain. Trees as thick
as a man's body are torn down in the
terrific storm of shot , r.iin falls in
torrents , and thousands of mud cov
ered fellows , with guns that almost
refuse the powder , wrestle hand to
hand , without rest , from sunrise until
long after dark. Such was the struggle
at the Bloody Anglo "Tho Slaughter
Fon" of veteran memory an all-day
combat of unparalleled ferocity and
awful sacrifice. 0. M
The Pniinma Cnnnl.
Uoiitsche.citling of Now Orleans.
The whole of the location of the
canal which stretches through an end
less morass , and for thu most part is
inhabited only by alligators and pois
onous serpents , demonstrates the ex
traordinary unhealthiness of the coun
try. There prevails a certain mala
rious fever , which is oven moro dan-
dorous than yellow-fever. The nick
names of several places , such as "Eu
ropeans' Grave , " "Fever Grotto , "
and "Death's ' Xephyr , " would nlono
suffice to prevent a thinking man
from going there as a laborer. Only
journals that are falsely informed
could think of persuading laborers to
sot out for Panama.
There are about 200 colored men
and sixty Europeans at work on the
canal , and these are occupied with
measurements and with cutting away
the trees and climbing plants in thu
future bed of the canal. These jobs ,
lion-over , advance very slowly. The
murderous climate demands so many
victims that about one-half of the
workmen are continually lying sick.
Already a mass of human skeletons
r.ro bleaching there ; and as in its time
tfio railway between Colon and Panama
and one-half miles
ma , forty-sovcn -
long , required a human victim for
every inch , there will bo no foot of
this new enterprise which will not pay
its tribute to death , It frequently
happens that laborers are found dead
in the woods. Physicians and medi
cines are sc.irce. At least there are
none to be found at the right time
and in the right place. Of hospitals
for the poor victims there are as yet
none that are satitfactory. Wretched
barracks have been stuck up , which
do not oven keep out the rain.
The food that is given to the labor
ers is entirely inadequate. They got
rice three times a day , cofl'co morning
r.nd evening , and at noon a very small
piece of salt meat. Bread is never
given. With all this , the men , who
have to work in a heat of nearly 100
degrees for nearly ten hours a day , re
ceiving the miserable sum of § 17 a
month. Out of this , also , the rainy
days are deducted when it is impos
sible to work.
The devices employed to inako it
difficult for laborers to get away from
Panama can readily bo understood.
It is exceedingly easy to got there ,
and from all parts of the world ships
bring men gratis ; but when they wish
to leave the prices are fabulously
high. The Panama Itailroad demands
for its forty-seven miles the extraor
dinary fare of $20. All the laborers
complain , and every ono who
has got money to got auay
hastens as quickly as possible , seas
as not to leave his bones there forever.
Many go to Panama or Colon to buy
their horses and ride oil' for Mexico
or Costa Rica , where the climate is
more healthy , but the wages are yet
worse than at the canal. That new
comers find themselves in a most sad
situation is easy to understand. Every
man who leaves his homo to subject
himself to all possible fatigue and to
that , murderous climate is to bo pitied.
Even the speculators aro. bitterly dis
appointed in their expectations. Since
thi ) laborers earn as good as nothing ,
it is plain that they can only buy the
most indispensable things.
The first duty of the company
should havu been to provide for the
erection of hospisals , in which the
laborers should bo treated gratis ; and
the tiocond duty should have been to
provide sufficiently good food ; and ,
finally , wages should bo raised and
the time of work shortened. Aslongas
this is not done the company will
liavo to got its workmen from China.
Uico and beans ara abundant in the
country , and the sons of the middle
kingdom require nothing moro.
