Up tlio liill , past tlio Intryilig
grounds , nud na tlio roads fuik I look
for signs of tliu crnter. Thurc are tliu
nigus. Away to tliu left niiil high in
the nir are tlio bustmis sailing in Mow
ciicles. 1 found tlu-in nt .SlmrpMmrg ,
nt Wincliuatur , at Mulvorii llill , at
Ccilar Creek -1 saw tlidn hovering
over n smro of different baUlu-liolilH.

of them llutteiing uvur the livid where
the coijisi-R hiK'i lain tluckiat. At
Cedar Creek 1 could have killed them
: IA they sat on the breustuotka mid
uttered their horrible notes. At
Clmncullonmllo T drove one nil' tliu
ntono erected to the inninciry of Stone-
wnll ilncknon , and ever in the field
wheru n blackened chimney , rotting
cannon w hcela and cillocks of e.irtli
mark the spot where Hooker massed
Ilia guns , half n hundred of tlio ci ( ink
ing birds diHputed the ground with
inc.
Till : UltATKK.
And HO , turning to the left , 1 ride
down a foot-path tunning between u
cotton mid a peanut field und find myself -
self at length in front of a hill covered
with tjino'und peach trees. This hill
is the crater. When once you have
climbed its uido it is no longer a hill.
You loiik down into an irregular hol
low a hundred and fifty feet long by
from twenty to forty hruad , iitici that
hollow will live forevcrin our war his
tory na the crnter. Weeds , grass and
the young poach and pine trees hidu
much of the horror of the spot , but
ono who has time to tarry can place
uvcrything im it vrna on ( hat morning
of July 110 , .18(51 ( , when it wu a hole
twunty-livj feet deu ] > and full of dead
and wounded Federaln.
TUB MINK.
The mine can ou traced from the
crater to the npot where Iho federals
turned the first nod. The long gal
lery is innikcd by n raving in of tlio
earth , and the shaft linn raved in and
filled up until one would not know
what it was. Hight at this point , and
what first H.ug eated the idea of the
mine , the lines nro so close together
that ono can ktand nt the crater and
hurl n pencil-stone into the thicket
uhere the federal pickets wonMil -
Uoncd. At no other point on the
linen around Petersburg were federal
and eonfedcrnto able to look into oich
otherB1 oytB. It is hardly twenty
feet ncrois the cotton-field to the
odtro , of the thicket , and hero for
months not n hand could bu shown
that a dozen bullets did not whiz for
it. When there was no tiring , the
confederates ! } ! the fort nnd tliu foil- ,
cral pickets in the thicket could cW *
Averse in ordinary tones of voice.
When Grant swung mound ho
pushed on until Lee chocked him , and
then flopped riuht there und began
intrenching. This made n very
irregular lino. At the crater thn federals -
orals hold the thicket along the creek ,
the railroad behind it nnd the forest
Htill further back , Hardly eighty
rods above , the confederates held the
name thicket , creek nnd railroad track.
, THK OUIQINATOll.
It is said that the idea of tunneling
under the six-gun confederate fort ul
this point originated with a Pennsyl
vania miner who was serving in ono ol
the regiments in IJiirnsido's corps. A
lieutenant in u Now York infnntrj
regiment is also mentioned ,
und had the inino been i !
aucccHS probably a tloKon men woult
have stopped forward to claim tin
honor. No matter who carried tlu
idea to Hurnsido , ho grasped at it
War meunu horrible wounds and sickening
oning siglita nnd death in n dozen terrible
riblo tonne , but in a war between civ
ilized nations men do not look upoi
such weapons as minea with muol
favor. A direct attack upon this six
gun fort would have resulted in re
pulse. If it could be blown out of tlu
way there would bu n gap in the Con
federate lines through which wlioli
brigade could p-jur. Ono brigiuh
through that cap and LOO'H lines wen
gone.
Tin : WOUK.
The work was done by old eon
miner ! ) working in regular gnnuii , um
the ehuft WUB sunk about 500 fee
from the fort , und went down twunt ;
foot before the gallery branched oil
This gallery was wide enough for twi
men to work abreast , and ever fou
foot high. One of 'the greatea
troubles was in aurvoying the rout
and strikiiig the proper distance , nm
even when the gallery was under th
fort no one felt exactly sure withii
six or eight feet. A little science niv
a great deal of guessing , however
struck the right apot , nnd gallerie
were then dug to the right und lef
for n distance of thirty feet.
UNHUHrKOTlNU VICTIM1 * .
The confedorntcH within the foi
vrero totally unsuspicious of what \vu
going on beneath then ; . Once , who
ono of the wiiiL1 galioriea waa being excavated
cavated , u aoluier who was lying o
the ground suddenly called out thn
ho could hear the sounds of diguhu ;
but those to whom ho appealed H !
that it must bo rats burrowing tliei
vray in to get at the provision. Again
a negro who had been within lluri
aido'H lines reported Hooiim the aliafl
but the inea nupnosed the federal
wore digging u woll.
J'/AOINO THU VOWIiKU.
When the mine hud been iiniahu
Grant suddenly discovered that it wi <
a grand thing and certain to vrnrl
though during its progrcsu ' 'JJurnsii'o '
Tunnel" WUH tu much jowod at as Hit
ler'a Dutch Gap Canal. Powder wi
brought upor it and carefully carrie
through the long , dark hole until oigl
tons were heaped under the fort. The

Grant should bu ready.

As the men rushed for the spot
ivheru thu fort had wtood they found
lu ugly hole which bus since been
Mown as thu Cr.iter. The burned
id blackened nnd mangled bodies of
enrly 'JOO Confederates wore dying
i and around the pit , Home halt

iwed thoin into thu air nnd fallen
nick to earth with nn awful thud.
"KOKWAllD'IO DIUTIl ! "
At Frederick flburg , when Hurnsido
bund his assaults upon Mary's Hill
'csulting ' only in horrible daughter ,
0 appeared to grow wild und reck-
BH. At the Ciater , when he found
in colunum of assault checked by
.he pit , ho continued to add to its
lorrora by urging forward other
lolumns. The Bpaco between the fort
ind thu thicket wns then'a plowed
eld , barren of eve v ambush. This
naco wan noon covered by
liu guns of the Confederate * .
The fort had been awept away , und
hero wns the gap , but to pasn through
Loo'a lines the federals must jump
ilown these ragged banks , clamber
ivur that horrible dubris , and Hcrnin-
blo up a height of twenty-live foot nnd
reform. Thuso who had .planned thu
: leatruotion of the fort had nut
planned this horrible death-trap for
'edoral aoldiers , but it wnu to prow
one just the fame.
"FOUWAHH ! KOIIW.MIK ! "
Wild with oxeitemont the oflicore
cried "Forward ! " nnd company nftei
company and regiment after regiment
tumbled into the pit on ono aide and
tried to climb out on the other. All
organization waH at once lost , and tlu
horrible sights in the pit dampened nil
enthusiasm. It waa n mob in tin

nnd when ono got out three fresh met
charged in as the aBsaulting column :

clear down his lines and b.icl
and the Crater was full of fc(1ovnlH
Then the confederutea reali/ed tin
situation and acted quickly. The for

been disturbed. Moving to tin
threatened point from right and lef
they BOOH had force enough to hoh

pit with its mob of disorganized sol
dieia , anil nut n man could HUGO hi

to cover. The brigades which hni
11 linked the Crater had not coinu prepared
pared with nxcn to tear away tin

while ut least a thousand living one

In that narrow space , scarce forty
roils tqunro , the federals lost nearly
1,000 men nnd the con fed orates over
1,000. On Smidnv morning when
Grant sent in n ling of trnco and
aikod permission to bury his dead , ho
found thorn corded up on each side
of the trenches and waiting for him.
Hardly a corpse was handled by the
