on his parlor wall , "and that is the

"Tho horses at 0 , John , " and then
again to the writer , "it will bo ple.\s-
ant driving at that time , and it will
quito repay you to see the old 'crater , '
or such paits of it as are left stand
ing. "
It was the cool of a delightful sum
mer evening. The roads were free
from dust and the rain which had
fallen the night before had given the
gr.iss and shrubbery a brighter hue ,
as we whirled by them , behind two
dashing blacks , driveit by , the Vir
ginia senator's livoricd coachman. ; '
"Tho final battles of Leo's army and
the last and most stubborn resistance
which they made , and which proving
f utile resulted in the fall of Richmond
and the surrender at Appomattcx , was
around this city , you remember , " said
the General , "and of them the fight
at the crater was the most terrific.
For ton mohths the two great armies
of Leo and Grant lay intrenched be
fore this town. The entire country is
a battle-around. Petersburg , Five
Forks and Appomattox are all within'
a comparatively short distance of each
other , and all are rich in historic lore.
The first assault upon the defensive
works which surrounded Petersburg
was made on the opening of the 15th
-of Juno. The Second corps , the ad
vance of the army of the Potomac ,
had crossed the James river two nights
before , and at midnight of the 15th ,
a pontoon bridge had boon construct
ed , and the" Ninth , Fifth and
Sixth soon followed. The last corps
that landed was pushed forward to
Petersburg , and on the night of the
15th our line had been broken and
held. The fighting continued for
three nights , and the Union forces at
times reached and mounted our very
parapets , and were only repulsed after
-a desperate struggle and a heavy loss.
After this the two great armies re
mained quiet , recuperating their
afcrmigth. During thu latter part of
Juno and the whole of July the armies
wcro engaged in rectifying and
strengthening their respective lines.
The Union lines then extended from
Appomattox to City Point , and in
order to meet them the Confederate
\ lines were naturally very thin. Earth
works were thrown up and much time
was consumed in this work. These
r lines at some points were not over
two hundred yards apart , while the
picket lines in front wcro not over
that many foot from each other. The
sharpshooters of each side kept up a
continual firing , aid ) a fellow who
placed his hat on a ramrod and
pushed it above the earthwork was
sure to find a bullet through it when
it came down. A fellow lying stretch
ed out along the limb of a tree , con
cealed by the folia'/o , would wait hour
after hour , through rain and shine ,
for the pleasure of picking off his
man across the way. While the men
were engaged in this amusement a
very important work was going on ,
however. The federals had among
thorn a regiment under command of
Lieutenant Colonel Pleasants , the
forty-eighth Pennsylvania. I think
it was composed largely of coal minors
who , under the direction of a skillful
engineer , executed the idea of mining
and blowing up a battery of the ene
my. The work was certainly well ox-
ocuted. The gallery was begun at
noon on the 25th of Juno. The utensils -
sils were of the rudest kind , but
many hands soon made great progress.
The gallery was well timbered and
perfect in every respect. The main
gallery was completed on July 17 , and
was 510.8 feet in length. General
Lee had obtained information of the
mine and sot his men to work on a
counter-mine to find it , They did
not strike deep enough and went
above the federals , who could hear
the confederates above them. AVe
could not hear the federals though.
Hearing the confederates above them
the federals excavated a little beyond
but in the roar of their works , thus
.giving their gallery a curved direction.
A loft and right lateral galery were
then made , and eight magazines were
'
placed in position' The order to
charge the mine was given on the 27th
of July , and the work was done between
twoen 4 and 10 p. m. on that day. "
"How much powder was , placed in
in '
it ?
"Well , you see tho'federals desired
not only to blow up the fort abo"o
them and thus break our linen , but
they hoped to create a turrlblo amount
of confusion , during which they could
push through and carry the heights
beyond. They , therefore , filled the
place with 320 kegs of powder , each
containing 25 pounds , or 8,000 pounds
in all. The tamping was finished by
the evening of the 28th , at daybreak :
on the 3f th of July , 1804 , it was
fired. The federal troops had been
drawn up in battle , and the oxplo-
.sion was to be thd signal to charge
The hour fixed for the signal came ,
but the signal came not. It would
not do to wait long. The fuse had
been lit , but twenty minutes had
passed and there was no uxplosion , II
might have gone out , jet at any in-
utant it might c\i > ludu. It would
taku an hour \ < > toll certainly what was
the matter. By tlmt tune the aim
would bo up and it would bo too Into.
Thu urinios would bo astir. Thure
ivus but one thing to do.Voul.l any
man volunteer to enter the gallery. A
man did so. He cranlod on his hands
and knees along the ground tracing
the burnt fuse until he cuino to the
iiirvo in the gallery , and there ho
round that it had nona out. Ho relit
It at that point and then tied for his
life. Ho had scarcely reached tha en
trance when the earth shookasthouuh
its very depths had been stirred. Tim
[ ort which had boon undermined was
it the time garrisoned by I'cgram's
buttery from Petersburg , and con
sisted of four guns and forty men. It
overlooked a alight ravine , and behind
it was a level field running to the base
of Cemetery hill , which the federals
liad hoped to carry. The fort was
blown to atoms , while a deep
liolo , many yards in length , and
shaped like an cast , the sides of
which had been thrown up by the ex
plosion , was filled with dying men and
'
'lorses , all enveloped in the gray
imoko which pourcil out of the crov-
cos of earth in all directions When
[ arrived on the field , which wns soon
if tcr , my command consisting of three
Diigades , the Federal troops had com
mand of the remnant of the foititica-
tion , while the road to Petersburg was
unguarded , Why they did not pour
.hrough sooner and carry the town is
me of the things I never could com
prehend , for thuy could have done it
is easily as not. My men formed in
hie at once with fixed bayonets , nud
fccling that this was our last day's
work on earth , wo charged. ThoFod-
crab charged at the same time over
liu high wall and down upon us like
wtchers. They fired , and the volley
vent over our heads. Ours was more
citccMvo , and they were stunned. It
vasthcna hnnd-tO'hand conllict , the
nest terrible I over saw ; butwo drove
hem back behind the smoking walls
if the cr.itor , among the dead and
lying already there. "
A private soldier in General Ma-
lono's brigade , who was wounded that
day , but is now the clerk of the Jar-
ott house , in Petersburg , says that
his was the most terrible lighting ho
saw in the war.
"I had no more idea when I was
ordered out that morning that I would
ivo until now , than I have now of
dropping dead. I saw that the Union
men nad command of the place where
ho old fort had been , and I was only
surprised that they had not taken the
own. They came down over the
crater wall like madmen. We thought
our time had surely come. I rcmem-
> or their battlc'cry , "Fort Pillow ,
and no quarter , " and I determined tenet
net on the same principle. It was the
nest satisfactory fighting I over did.
You see when wo used to shoot our
juns wo never know much whether wo
md killed anybody or not and the
chances were in favor of the latter. I
inly fired my gun once in that fight ,
jut when I knocked a man down with
; he butt of my trim , and pinioned him
; o the ground with a bayonet , I know
10 was dead. I undo it a principle
; o make no nigger prisoner. I killed
every one I mot until I w.xs shot down
UK ! carried off the field. Wo fought
iko demons , and we wcro demons.
tt was every man for himself that
day , and I hope I will never live to
see another like it. "
Finally Mahono's brigade drove the
Union forces buck into the crater ,
jjoneral Mahono says the ground
ibout him was so thick with the slain
that it was impossible to keep his
liorse's feet off of them. The rebels
who were killed in the explosion wcro
of course terribly mangled and many
wcro fastened in the earth only to bo
trampled down by the soldiers after
wards. The crater was now a mass of
dead and dying. One poor fellow
iftor another would crawl up the bank
only to be shot down , and final y ,
when the rebels could do no more ,
they tossed bombshells into the crater ,
causing untold agony
There were hundreds of dead taken
out of the terrible hole afterwards
and many still lie buried there. There
is a little shanty near by filled with
relics of the battle. Shoes that were
found on the field , with the bones of
the feet still in them , guns which had
been shot to pieces , and one with
three bullets buried in its stock and
barrel. I picked up a canteen within
the crater walls , with nothing loft but
the rim and its shattered edges , show
ing that a shell had gone clear through
it and the wearer too no doubt. The
crater ia covered with 11 growth of
peach trees , which have grown up
since the war , and probably had their
growth from the seeds which the sol
diers had thrown away there during
the long sioge.
As a result of that day's fighting the
union forces had mude a slight ad
vance but had lost 0,000 men , and
gained but little real advantage.
"Those were the dark days of the
country , " said General Mahono at
supper that evening , and standing on
the walls of xthc crater it is not easy to
foci that seventeen years have passed
around since that terrible tragedy w
enacted. W. S. L.
THE POPE.
Some Personal Points' ' About HU
Holiness.
Geneva ( Swltz. ) Time * .
Leo XIII , is a crownocl scholar.
From a child ho took kindly to his
book , and the Jesuits turned him into
ono of the finest latinistn of the ago.
The ono result was pretty certain to
follow from the other , as the key to
the educational success of the Jes
uits is to bo found in their principle
of first ascertaining a pupil's apitudes
and than cultivating them to the best
of their power. Joachim Pocc's ! youth
was a series of academical triumphs ,
each of which signalized the addition
of n fresh province of learning to hit
intellectual dominion. Classics were
first mastered , then mathematics , next
physics , and afterwards moral philos
ophy , iu which ho gave instruction at
the ago of 10. Perhaps ho might
have remained a scholar and nothing
more , but in the third decade of his
life ho fell under the influence one
would rather say rose to the influence
of the famous Cardinal Odcschal-
chi , a man who in another age , might
have replayed the great part of Igna
tius Loyola. Odeschalchi it was who
renounced the purple to outer the or
der of Jesus and gave innumerable
other proofs of Christian humility
and devotion to his master's causo.
Amoni ; the services he rendered to
the Church of Jlomo not the least was
the conversion of Pecci , as ono may
call it , in the true sense of the word.
Ho turned his mind to a serious
thoujjh not austere view of religion ,
and had the happiness of admitting
hiin to holy orders. Pecci was then
twenty-seven , and already a lay pre
late in the household of Gregory XVI
Leo XIII. has now reigned more
than three years , and the broad lines
of his policy are now sufficiently de
fined. His attitude toward the gov
ernment is the wisi'it , if it bo not the
only pussiblo ono ho could have
adopted , He stan Is on the.defensive
and bides hU time. Two points in
Iho purely spiritual policy of Leo
Xlll. deserve notice. The second of
the popes officially recognized as inFallible -
Fallible , ho has nut , any more than
the first , made the slightest use of the
extraordinary power vested by the
last general council in the holy see.
Ho has defined no disputed doctrine
In truth the council which proclaimed
the pope infallible where speaking ox
cathedra has necessarily made the
pope extremely cautious of giving ex
pression to ex cathedra utterances.
Absolute power has often been re
marked to exorcise a sobering in
fluence on 5t. possessor. Even BO ,
authority to decide the most solemn
questions without iippe.il is ono which
a man who in at once an Italian and
a priest , a scholar and a diplomatist ,
will not bo likely to abuse. This is
the negative result of Leo's reign ;
the positive is the now impulse ho iiai
jivon to the study of Iho works of
St. Thomas Aquinas. When oilo ic >
members that the Angelic Doctor was
the favorite of Maurice unquestion
ably thu largest-minded of Protestant
theologians ono cannot help deriving
a better liopo lor the future of the
universal church from this circum
stance. And , whatever opinion we
may have of the .schoolmen , it is
surely an excellent sign of the times
when the chief pastor of Christendom
seeks to combat unbelief , not , ns of
old , with the temporal sword , but
simply by the study of what ho holds
: o be the soundest philosophy. The
ircsont pcnoration may or may not
icccpt thu conclusions of St. Thomas ;
t will certainly pain by studying , if
nljr with a view to refute him.
Like every Pope since the lieforma-
; ion , Leo XIII. is a thoroughly good
nan. Still , if ono may venture tc
compare his moral standard with that
of his immediate predecessor , one
would bo inclined to state the differ
ence between them as consisting in thu
fact that Leo has more of the wisdom
) f the serpent , while Pius had mure
; ho innocence of the dove. Pius kept
i child-like heart and faith to the
ast , and the Bishop of Perugia , who
enow the world had showed it , rose
nit slowly into his sovereign's confi
dence. He received the rod hat in
185U , but was not appointed Gamer-
longo till twenty-four years later.
The days of Pius were already num
bered , and ho must have known tha1
In thus singling out Pecci for distinc
tion ho was almost designating him as
a desirable successor. The courtly
md accomplished cardinal had at
ongth won his way to the pontiff's
cordial esteem. Pins , too , may have
suspected that ho had sot too little
store by the wisdom of this world , and
that , humanly speaking , no small
share would to necessary to the man
who wns next to steer the bark of St.
Peter through the troubled waters.
Vanilorbilt's Now Mansion'
Now York Letter.
It will be a good many months yet
before Mr. W. Ji. Vundorbilt's. mag
nificent mansion on Fifth avenue is
ready to 'occupy. All the work is so
elaborate that oven the least part of
It takes a great deal of time. The ex
terior is neither as imposing nor at
tractive as ono might expect to find it
after rending any of the descriptions
written up from thu aichitect's plans.
The fiat surface of the wall gives the
whole a rather dull look , which , at a
short distance , is hardly relieved by
the line carving and scroll work on
various parts of the ctone. As the
atone itself is the ordinary brown
stone common to all parts of New
York there is nothing particularly
Ktriking in the outsino effect. Thu
building is , in fact , rather plain
much more so than they are on the
adjoining block , which will bo occu
pied by Mr. Vanderbilt's oldest son
and looks more substantial than
ornate. In this respect it may be re
garded as reflecting the owner's char
acter , for Vanderbilt is not a showy
man by any means. The moat nobby
thing about him is those stringy side-
whiskers which the comio artists make
the most of in their cartoons. Wheth
er Mr. Vanderbilt is particularly well
fitted up inside or not , this deponent
is not prepared to say , but the inside
of this now house certainly will be.
No expense is to bo spared In the fit
ting up and decoration , at all events ,
The smallest thing , as well as tha
largest , must bo the very best. An
order was given the other day for sil
ver-plated bath-tubs. A nickel-plated
bath-tub is generally considered good
enough for the ordinary millionaire ,
but when a man has a hundred mil
lions to his name the wonder is , not
that ho must have a silver-plated tub
to bathe in , but that ho is satisfied
with anything less than a gold one.
