The nsiault on Vick burg look place
on May 10 and Z'2 , ISO ! ! , mul on the night
of thc2llh the dioROODonitiona bognn In
larnuht. The union olllc.ora and ontr >
tccrs failed to grnsp .tho situation at
first. Wo proceeded to build works to
wllhstiuid heavy ordinance , wrltos ft
prlvuto in the Now York Timed , forget-
ling that wo had captured almost all of
Gonoriil 'Pemberton'd fluid artillery in
tlio battles bolero ho took position be
hind the worlcs puiTOunding VkUsbm'g ,
nlthough the two assaults proved it to
oven the "mulo whacUors , " who ciuno
closoonongh to view the troops cngnged ,
There were only one or two pieces of
urtlllory used against us in those duys.
Although the night of May ilo was
hardly dark enough to suit , with a
heavy line of pickets In advuncu to lire
in the direction of a powder II tsh coin
ing toward usvo marched beyond our
line of artillery , nrmed only with picks
tuid shovels.Vo wcro the same ollicers
nnd men who had lain around carelessly
one year before utShlloh , with no works
nnd tin onctny in our frorU Wo now
roali'/eu fully how "pleasant" it was
just to liavo u little "mud' ' to pot be
hind. We wore formed in perfect line
and eacli detail wns allotted just so
much to do , the order being jjlvon in a
very low tone as the eaemy's line of
works could bo dimly seen. "Thoro was
no hesitating or hurry to boo who would
throw up the llrst shovelful , but all be
gan together , every shovelful going
between the man and thai completed
range of mountains. One shovel fol
lowed each pick , and , as wo wcro un
molested , wo soon felt quite easy , even
becoming jocular.
Suddenly tt cloud that had hidden the
moon passed away , and "popl pop ! "
" 1ml ! hist ! " came the rlllo bullets
among us. There was no order given ,
no running , but everybody dropped , and
each vied with the other to see who
could hug the ground the closest. The
change was sudden and complete , and
ns the firing ceased in a short time wo
BOOH rolled over on our backs and
watched for another cloud to cover up
the moon. In the meantime we kept up
a whispered conversation , n , kind of tel
egraph , and learned that none of our
detull had been hit by n bullet , though
two or throe had nearly pinioned thorn-
( solves on the point or handle of a pick.
Wo lay so close to the giouna and
everything was so quiet that b.v tlio time
the next cloud covered the moon the
confederates must have retired , for wo
wore at work again and not molested tc
any extent by their throwing lead at us.
It scorns strange , but it is nevertheless
true , that in the short tlmo the moon
was shining brightly on us and the low
conversation in progress there wore
men who actually wont to sleep and
unorcd , though not worn out by hard
work , and only a few minutes before all
hud been excitement. This gave r
chance for amusement , for soon a hall
do/oti sliovols were placed so as to fall
easily , but togolher , at a signal , com
bined with twenty handsful of dirt , on
the plccpor. Imagine that bundle ol
blue cursing until the nip was blue , anil
the laughter and pretended sympathy.
"Are you hurt , Term ? " "How did you
got hit ? " "Therevas no gun 11 rod. "
Wo dug our trench three feet wide
and two foot deep , connecting with tlu
next detail , and so on , until at dayligh' '
as far as wo could see the right and lefl
was u line of fresh earth. Tlio ploncoi
corps during the day foiled trees , cu
them to proper lengths , and brought
thorn to convenient points , so that tin
following niglit wo rolled them to tin
trench , stood them on onu in the excavation
vation , braced them up and then juinnci
over the pile of dirt and shoveled i
against thoin from the confederate side
at the same time digging a ditch am
throwing that earth on top. On tin
inside of this line of works , which wa
built principally on ridges , the grouni
wns leveled oil' , the works lined up will
cane lirought from near-by canebrakes
to prevent the mud sifting through , am
a slop built and braced up. A log orn
foot-in diameter was then placed on toi
of the works and the ground leveled s <
that it hiy snus ; .
As a soloier blood behind the work
they were higher than hia head , an
when on the stop the log protected hi
head. Now , by taking u piece of can
and running it under the log a fo' '
times you could put your gun throng'
and bight M long as necessary wit
comparatively little danger , as the cor
fcdoi ate ball "must como through tha
small hole to injure anybody. Almos
every man hit during the siege wn
mortally wounded , as it wns above th
chest.
The confederates could notplaco a lo
on their works , as our artillery woul
knock It oT ! , so they resorted to dlffoi
ont devices , one of which was to bore
hole through their works , use ti
Hpouting lo support the earth , and ( It
through It. Hvory morning our fin
duty w.is to look for some now tricl
and when n ball came too clobo It wt
followed until it hit , and its court
studied until it was pretty well settle
about whore "ho" was. Thou thot
were soon 11 fly union men after that or
confederate. We let him alone , watchc
for the smoke of his gun , and llnall
located him. By shifting around froi
place to place wo finally got BO wo coul
BCO through that hole , when nobod
was behind it' , but when it darkcnc
the next tlmo tbcro were fifty hullo
put into that hole. That casemate wi
plugged , nnd prolcibly the man.
There were ti few instances whore v
failed to do the work , nnd when wo di
pivo it up and pointed out theobjeotlo
able sharpshooter to the artillery tl
liolu was unceremoniously dosed , ai
the gunner would able If wo had at
moi'o.
One morning , as it bognn to got ligb
the onomy'a works in our Immodlal
front looked so much higher than usti
that soon everybody was up and out
BOO , and ingenious opinions were ofl'oic
its to what the confodonttoi had do :
during the night. OHIi-ora were du
notified. It soon developed that son
admirer of New Orleans Jackson hi
conceived the brilliant idea of Unit
the top of their woi'lts with cotton bale
AVe infantrymen were "not in it" tli
time , but the artillery had it all the
- own way ono percussion bholl to eai
bale , up in the nir it wont , and tin
there was a f ill of cotton that loeUi
lilco snow. It was fun for us , ns tl
whole tinny was out. The nrtlilo
from the adjoining divisions bent a ft
Hanking shells ovo" , and every am
storm brought a cheer from us to tl
men who hud worked all night for o
odillcntion. Uncle Stm : and the fatay- ;
homo taxpayer "paid the freight. "
This main line of works was built f
both artillery nnd Infantry. At regu
lar and the best poMtlons were situated
the Imltorics , of which ottr division had
three , ono ol them being n tltlrty-nonnd
rilled 1'arrott , and they" could bo fired
almost as accurately as our musket ? .
Major Taylor , chief of artillery on Gen
eral Shot man ' * staff , used to como
around every few days , morning or
evening , thus escaping the mid-day
boat , and have a little artillery practice.
Vo always turned out in force to look
on , to sco whcro the shell tilt , nnd when
the order u-ns given to "lire" generally
looked over the log , The confederates
adopted for ft short tlmo a style of mass
ing about fifty men nnd pouring a volley
Into the embrasure , the object being to
lilt somebody by chance.
In order for them lode this they had
to expose themselves. Tosaylho lonst ,
it was irritating , nnd wo felt that it
must bo stopped. Tlio batteries gener
ally took turns in this practice ; there
fore there wcro two rosling. Thcta were
loaded with "fuso" ' shell , perhaps L'OO
rillos were pushed under the log , and as
"lire" to the
the order to was given
practice battery wo took the same order
anil bent over a wagon load of load to
lhat massed troop. It in variably silenced
that little band.
There was a V-shnpod fort In our Im
mediate front , nnd Major Taylor do-
cidcd ono morning lo see what was in
side. The Parrot t battery opjnoil on it
and literally lore the point out , i o that
the iiiHldo could bo seen. It w.is simply
a higher pile of mud nothing in It
and would hnvo boon a splendid place
to sweep our lines with artillery had
they had any to usa One sergonnltluit
morning showed his Yankee ingenuity
in sighting his piece by making a
wooden wedjjo and di Iving It under the
brooch with'a wagon hammer , as the
screw that was nvulo for the purpose
had been broken by the recoil of the
gun early in the practice. During the
forty days slogo onch battery along the
entire line was required to throw asholl
every half hour Into the confederate
lines night and day.
Ono morning at 1 o'clock thcro was a
terrlllcartillery pr.ietico , and we ceased
work and sleep'to le.irn why. We soon
discovered all abnit It , as we were or
dered lo get , ready for an assiiUlt if this
artillery tiring had any olTcco on the
confederate troops , our lookouts to bo
Ilio judges. From all they could sco it
din not disturb anybody behind that big
pile of earth. To us tha display was
iiiauiiilicent as long as it was dark , par
ticularly the fuse shell , as wo were behind -
hind it and could see the fuse burning
as it sind forward on its errand of de
struction. When il burst there was no
harmless lot of stars la fall , as in fire
works , but every piece mj.uit maim
ing or 'death to whomsoever it
hit. A shell lired into the confederate
works was waited , as it only made
a hole to bo filled up again from the in-
aide , but if il burst about on a level with
the enemy's works the pieces scattered
and might hit somebody , the pieces con
tinuing forward.or in the direction the
shell was fired , never coing backward.
Another beautiful display wo had
were the mortar shells firoil from the
Mississippi river boats Thc&o were
immense in sixo , and at night wo
watched them as they rose highoc and
higher in tlio air , every revolution
showing the tiny fuse burning , and
finally bursting away up ever so high ,
and there was a cloud of lire spreading
out and finally disappearing. After it
had disappeared wo could hear the noise
of the explosion , nnd some minutes
after wo could hear the second explo
sion , which came from the morlar from
which the shell was lired. A confeder
ate told the writer afterwards that if the
shell did not explode , but fell , it mink
into the ground deep enough to form a
well. Those shells were lirod intention
ally with such heavy force aa to pass en
tirely over the city of Vicksburg and
burst between the city and the confeder
ate line of works inOur fiontx Many
burst prematurely and wrecked bouses.
Tlio confederate camps were dives' close
to their lines of works , und compara
tively few wcro hurt in proportion tc
the amount of lead and iron thrown at
thorn.
Tlio main line of works being com
pleted our engineers next laid out
innumerable lines of "saps , " and they
were dug so as lo communiculo wjltli
each other and were as intiicatc as | the
btrcels of Ooston. An o dorly could
carry uispatehos from the division on
the right to the one on thn. loft without
belli ; : exposed and any man who was
surprised by the close call of a bullet
wns required to report the same and it
was remedied. These saps led direcll.v
to pur little picket forts which were ir
hailing distance of the confederate
lines , and many talus wo had wilh llu
latter until stopped by positive orders.
Many men would have shaken handi
could they lutvo reached across th <
works. There were regiments 01
opposing sides recruited in the EUIIH
neighborhood.
On:1 : picket duty was very severe as i
was for twenty-four hours and wo weiv
required lo keep up an incessant fubil
lade in the direction of tlio confederate
works day and night. Our shoulder
would ache from the "kicking" of tin
muskets , and besides wo could not boi
the use of lirin ? at nothing. But mill
tary orders tire military orders am
iniibt bo obeyed.
Those little forts were open at the
back so that wo could plainly bo seen 1 > ,
our line and if driven out could not b
held by the enemy. The duty in thosi
picket forts became monotonous to suel
a degree that it was unusual to BOO i
commissioned olllcor in them. A sergeant
goant was considered bulllciont and h
simply called on the different corporal
to bring his detail to the front and the
tlio noncommissioned olllcer knew ful
well ho had got to lire or his dotal
woultl not. That western army was
peculiar ono and an olllcor had to bo on
of the boys or resign.
\Vo were on duty there every day
ono day in the picket forts and the nox
in the works , Kor the purpose of mil
ing our sips : , after passing the pioltc
forts , were very eloso to iho enemy
works , in fact , in plain view , but the
were to closely w.Uohcd thai if a cot
federate looked over his works to so
what wo were doing ho wits lucky if h
lived to try it ngtiln. Sulllcient know !
oilgo had been obtained , howovorsfor th
confederates to make an old-faBliiono
V-shaped ovoairough of two board !
strongly placed together. This the
pushed over tholr works and pointer
toward our open sup. Next tnoy place
a fuse shell at their end of the troaeli
lighted the ( use and lot It roll into ou
hap , whore it exploded ; but wo wor
warned , and no ono was hurt. The
cheered , and wo "tigered. "
\Vo ceased work , retired to our stor
fields , built a gabion ten foul long b
three , carried it to a safe distance , an
at night placed it on end near the poll
of our sap , filled it wilh earth , and the
upset it in front of our excavation. ' ,
looked like a hugo boiler , and it wi1
nonoxplosive , but put a. stop to oxpl
slvcs , as wo only had to roll it alien
and work behind it. They rolloJ a fe
shells at it , wo cheered , and they thre
Iho useless trough into Iho moat.
Quo morning , alter working sim
midnight , and rolling our gabion ahoai
wo found jubt out of roach a po.ich trc
with four ripe roaches. Wo wanU
them , but-liw is sure death to try
got them. Kveu a hand wonlu hui
been shot oil' . A Michigan lieutonati
having charge that night , cumo out
EOO how the work had progressed , I
> r also discovered the fruit and it mm
him hungry. Uo disappeared nnd coon
returned with two cano poles Fitting
the small ono into the larger ho took
olT Ills boot , ( astcnod the strap into the
end of the polo , reached out ttndor a
po.tch and milled It off , the poach drop
ping Into tlio boot. The ponchos were
soon in the lieutenant's possession , nnd
wo all had ti taste of the fruit , but the
bootrwns almost useless.
During all this tlmo our quarters
were not neglected. On the sides cf
the ndgo wo leveled it Into galleries ,
mndo berths of cano poles sewed Into
mats with bark , Mid lilted into forks
driven Inlo the ground. They were ns
comfortable nnd cool as a spring bed.
Four men to a cot , ns two worn always
trvay on duty , loft two rubber blankets
for proleciion from rain or sun ,
while Ilio olhor two were for
actual duty on the line. Food
wns bountiful , more than wo could
cat , and wasted , burned , except colToo ,
which accumulated until wo had bugs of
it. Wo were on duty every other night ,
in fact , two hours on and four olT almoU
all the time , yet with this continuous
artillery and musket llring , day and
night , wo slept and ate well , nti'l Ihero
was hardly such a Ihlng ns a sick call.
Wo didn't have time , and , with the ex
ception of now and then a litllo "growl , "
Ihoro never was a heallhlcr or happier
army In existence.
In Iho hitter part of Juno wo began to
mine under Iho V fort in our front , and
by the fourth day wo discovered by the
sound that Iho confederates had antici
pated our scheme and were mining to
blow up our mine. It was a race. Wo
mined jijst fast enough to keep abend ,
as wo could hear their picks and thus
tell where they were. Wo were told by
the usual "grapovlno telegraph" that
the mine would bo exploded and an as
sault made on July < 5 , nnd on thocvening
of July " wo little thought of any change
until that assault should bo made
On tlio morning of July . ' ! , as soon as
it was llirht enough to discern objects
any distance , wo were greatly surprised
lo see a number ol small white Hags dis
played along the works in our front.
Firing immediately ceased , except in
General Ostorhaus' front. Ho was on
our right and had given notice that he
would not rocognU'.o a truce Hag from
General Pcmburlon on account , of a
truce violation by the confederates early
in the Vicksburg siego. The men who
were sleeping awoke , and soon Iho en
tire Yankee army was looking over tlio
"
logs instead of utuior them. "Soon the
confederates were doing the same , and
ns time passed both nidcs became more
confident , and in an hour wo were all
either standing or silling on top of our
respective works looking at each other ,
nnd the men in the picket forts were
t liking to the previous night's enemies.
Hundreds of inon left the main line and
went to Iho picKol lines to talk , and by
t ) o'clock some of the confederates from
Missouri had fonnd old friend * in our
ranks , were invited over , accepted , and
wcro soon in our camps gorg
ing themselves with food. On
their return they took all they
could carry. In other words , the Iwo
armies , noncommissioned ollicors and
privates , fratcrni/.cd and were shaking
hands , eating and talking of Iho flieuo
as happily and friendly as if old friends.
13y noon orders were given lo put a stop
to this and it was done to a certain ex
tent , but there was not a confederate
who blept that night on tin empty
stomach.
July 4 was a bright , beautiful morn
ing , and about 0 o'clock the confederate
regiments marched out between the
lines , stacked tholr arms , unbuckled
their cartridge boxes , and hung them
on the bayonets of their guns'about
faced , " and marched away from the
guns that had held us there so long.
One would nalurally Ihink wo were
happy , and wo were , but at Iho same
time'there was not an exultant cheer
given as those bravo men loft the guns
and their regimental colors standing
alone. The only cheer given that day
was when General Grant and staff rode
over the surrendered line of works.
The rest of the story is well known.
Gr.int paroled all the prisoners , and us
fast ns they signed they were at liberty
to go whore they pleased. Tlio after
noon of the 4th of July was devoted to
inspecting the works wo had lirod at for
so many days. We did not wonder much
why wo could not lake them. Uy dark
wo'wore again in our quarters to cook
and rest , as wo were to march immedi
ately against General Johnston , without
oven being allowed to see the city of
Vicksburg.

A stranger about 40 ve.a-s old com-
milled suicide in n boarding house in
Los Angeles , Cal. , a few days ago. lie
left a' remarkable lotlor in which he
said that lie was a member of ono of the
largest and most prominent families ol
this county , whos-j ancestors came irom
Jamestown. After confessing to having
cotninitlcd murder , the writer days :
"During a period of about twenty-one
years I liavo beep married to thirteen
different women. In every case , except
the first , nu- sole motive was to secure
money , not love or nlToctlon. i have
three children by the first and ono bj
all the rest except throe. Ono of the
women to whom I've been married hue
$300,000 in her own right , three others
had from $150,000 to WuO.OOO and nonoo ;
the others was worth loss than $10,000.
"My rule generally was to live will
my wife until I got the money in mj
co'ntrol and then I was olT for now lloldi
lo win another fair brldo.
"I always had plenty of money anil
went in the best of style , and onlj
operated In and among the aristocracy
of the country. In this sphere my vait
and giddy victims were easily captured
nnd it was often a case of 'lovo at first
Bight' with them. 1 have some hesita
tion about leaving a statement , but foi
bcvcrul ro.isoiiH I have decided to do so
"First , these around me , of course
know nothing of my intentions and an
perfectly innocent of what 1 am abou
to do , and this statement will rolievi
them of any suspicion.
"Second. Il may bo a warning to eomi
good women , who are too often icady ti
lecoivennd entertain sltango men o
whom they know nothing moro thin
that , they wear a bilk hat , display a lo
of diamonds and toy with a gold-hoadci
cnno. Beware of this class.
"Third. If these would-be detective
and officers of the law will pay more at
tcntion to Iho clafB of men whom I wan
the women against , I can assure then
that they will succeed in their btislnos
bolter. I have often scon a poor , dirt ,
and ragged tramp dragged to jail , whos
only olletibo was to bog ti quarter or i
dime to buy" much-noedod meal , whll
perhaps half n dozen of the worst criml
nnlK In < the country , lilo myself , wor
lookers on , but in the guise of gentle
men whom Mr. Olllcer would scarce !
dnro to look at , much less attempt t
arrest. "
