BATTLE-FIELDS. VIRCINIA Chancellorsville as It Now Looks~An Afternoon on the Grounds Where Lee, with Sixty Thousand Men, ‘Whipped Hooker, with 130,000 The Chancellor House The Place of Jackson's Fall. Philadelphia Times. Tue WiLoer~ess P, 0., Angust 7. — Coming within sight of Chancellers- vill, T tried to make close scrutiny of the one historic house that is the all in all of the settlement, but my own gaze, as well as the quastioning stare of the driver, Uato, became fixed upon a much prettier picture in_ the yard. Under the shade of “an‘elm sat a young couple, who looked as though they were out for a pienic. The young woman was fair of face and gentle of manners, and the moustached youth who paid her such smiling attention cvidently was something more than a brother. Both wore traveling cos. tumes of the northern cut, and I was not surprised to learn that they hailed from Hartford, Conn, “Who am dem people, Mass Oli- ver?” asked Cato, speaking in an un- dertone, as the sun-browned tenant of the Chancellor house stepped out to the bugay with his hearty invitation to “‘light and walk in.” “Young married folkses,” Farmer Oliver. “On dere weddin' 'skurshun, am dey?”’ “I’low 8o, you ’quisitive niggah; you'd better take keer o' yo' hosses,” and turning to me, Farmer Oliver con- tinued: ‘““The woman says as how her father was killed on this heah battle- field the day she was bo'n. He was an officer with Gennul Sickles, and was killed over thah by Hazel Groye, the same time as Gennul Berry was. Do light and walk in, sir! Any marks about the old house! Well, I should say so! Come in, come in. A CHURCH FULL OF BULLETS, Tt needed some such pleasant intro- duction as this to Chancellorsville, because the morning sun had been hot, ths horses slow, Cato sleepy, and the vide from Fredericksburg barren of interest; except at one pomt—the battle-scarred surroundings of Salem church. Leaving Marye’s Heights he- hind, a trot of a few miles over the Orange turnpike had brought us to the church around which Se fought on the days that witnessed the death-grapple of Hooker and Leo, a little further north, The church is » small brick building, stands in the corner ot a dense woods somewhat to the left of the road. Tts grove of oaks differs from the adjoining forest trees in that they grow several yards apart and shelter a circular platof pasture grass. A few feet in the rear of the church is a line of breastworks, now no higher that the knees and thickl overgrown with weeds. The churc] walls contain shell-holes and count- less bullet marks, while the overhang- ing oaks show many. scars. Indeed, it may be said that as many minie balls have been put into the church as there have been prayers sent out from t. Moving on by a red clay road bor- dered by pine and oak and poor corn- fields, in which were negro cabins made of logs, we had at 11 o'clock reached the Furnace road. Along this road stretced the confederate right and under a towering pine tree, plainly in sight, is it said that Lee and Jackson sat upon their cracker boxes on the evening of May 1, when they planned their daring attack upon Hooker's Eleventh corps. But the pine and the guide’s cracker box story had proved very dry indeed and it was with the pleasare of thirsty man ap- proaching a well that T drove up to| the Chancellor House, with its shady yard and happy bridal party. A EAMOUS PLACE OF ONE HOUSE, Chancellorsyille 1s a desolate clear- g on the soushern edge of the Wil- derness. Time was when a hundred Virginians of the first famlies clinked glasses in the long dining hall of the hostelrie, and many a day did Jeffer- son, Madison and those who came af- ter take noontide rest under the sur- rounding elms. Bu: the planks of the Plank road are gone. Coaches and four no longer shake the dust from the shallow ruts of the pike, and lovers no longer seck the cross roads tavern as the half way to Gretna Green. In the old days the Chancel- lor house was a massive brick build- ing, shaped like a squat T. Around iton every side were level fields that stretched for a quarter of a mile or more, while three important stage roads came together in front of the ard. Now only one-third of the uilding—the northern end—stands, and even that had to be re-erected af- terthe battle, when thefire left nothing but bare walls, shot-shattered, From the northern end of this poor rem- nant of the ruined inn stick out five pieces of shrapnel-bolts that, as Mr. Oliver fears, may yet play the mis- chief. Amoug these grim things is a ragged rent in the gable end near the roof, showing where shells knocked for admission as they paused in their screaming flight vighteen years ago, The porch pillar, near which Hooker had the misfortune to stand when it was shattered by a round shot, was destroyed by the fire, and in the places of the pillars are wooden columns freshly painted and without a scratch. In"the yard the visitor sees the outlines of the old house marked by shrubs, weeds ‘and stray bricks, while a dozen sweet hollyhocks growing near rthe porch remain as sentinels of garden beau- ties long since gone. THE SPOT WHERE JACKSONZFELL, The sun is overhead as the lazy horses, white with lather, jog along a level road between two corn fields and come once more to where trees grow thickly on either side, Thus moving in the midst of timber for somewhere | near a half wile, we come to a big stone planted steadfastly by the road- side. Cato is nodding and 1 hit him @ smart crack with a soldier's skull | which Farmer Oliver gave me and the points of which I had been studying since we left Hooker's shattered head- said | did then. | by'the path of the sun. quarters behind, Cato gave & grunt and » jerk and mumbling; p aaloep,” spled the stone, Then it was amusing to wateh the change come over the darky's dull expanse of jaw and lip. He lifted his eyebrows, showed his teeth, and said with ani mation: “Bress my soul, sah, us am right heah.” “What's heah? for?” “Doan yo' know, sah, whut dat ar "markable stone am "tending to ‘mem- merate!” “‘No, what is it?" #‘Dars whar Gennul Stonewall was kilt. Moses Tucker Lacy, de preach- er up dar by Wilderness sto’, he put dat ar stone dar, sah.” I remembered that Jackson clung to life several days after he had been wounded, but by further questioning T learned that this was the spot where the bleeding warwior fell from his horse in the very hour of his crownin; triumph. The stone is a rough blnvfi of white flint, quarried here in the Wilderness. 1t stands three feet eight inches high, and is tvo feet ten inches 1n breadth, Tts surface shows dents and scars wherefrom loving pil- grims have scaled bits of it as relics, andall' around are smaller picces of hard rock that have been used as hammers with which to crack it. Im- mediately around the stone the ground is in small undergro~th, huckleberry bushes, chinkupins and the like, but at a few feet it is encompassed by pines and onks of large growth. BULLET MARKS IN A HED OAK. Between the stone and the road isa red oak of such size that it must have sprung up thirty years ago. I noticed a dozen or more bullet holes in this oak, and asked Cato why they where there. His reply, that they came with the volley by which Jackson was kill- ed, seemed to be disproved by the fresh appearance of the holes. ‘‘How can that be?” T asked. *‘The holes look as though they were made within the last year,” ‘‘Basy 'nuff, sah, easy 'nuff,” Cato with a hearty he-haw ot a laugh; ‘‘doan yo' see, sah, dat de volley come from the No'rf, where de rebels was? 'en doan yo'sce dat de visters heah hab bin pickin’ wid dere pen- knives at dem bullet-holes lookin’ fur relics!” Then I understood; the bul- let marks had been kept fresh for nearly a score of years by such of the great leader's admirers as hungered to Dear away with them the fellow bits of lead of those that flew to their deadly work so long ago. And this is the place where Jackson for the first time grew weak! The silent woods are around. 'Fhe stone is though the bones of the man ¢ were be- neath. Squir Bucks and does rub y against it, and acorns dropp om the boughs above lose their cups as they crack against its brown sides. Kut even here in the Wilderness romauce may be spoiled. Nailed against the red oak is a broad board with the sign: What's that stone WILLIS & GR ¥ Sewing Machine Agents, :Dry Goods, Shoes and Hats, : 3 CHEAP FoR CasH. g Thus within hand’s reach of Stone- wall’s stone, trade leaves its mark, and enterprising dealers reap profit from the glances of the reverential asser-by. In this way sentiment is ost, and even Cato makes the droll suggestion that he let the kicking horse of his team use his hind hoof to chip off a bit the flint as a memento for me. WHERE PLEASANTON TOOK HIS STAND, Cato is asleep over by Jackson's stoneas I come out upon one of the Hazel Grove clearings more thana half mile to the west. While I rest here alone among rank dock weeds that cover the ruins of a parapet, the flest creeps to think of the mad thing that heenan started from this very spot to do. Daylizht fades now as it A red moon looks through the tree tops, and on that May cven- ing, eighteen years ago, her fight was no less reflective of fiery clouds down Twelve thou- sand panic-stricken men are pressing down the road, through the woods and across the fields in utter rout, each eager to save himself and reck- less of the fate of others. Pleasonton, g wildly on a horse flecked with foam, strives to stem the tide of Howard's flight, and to meet the ter- rific onslaught of Jackson’s victorious men. He looked here and there for Keenan, and finding him, says: ‘‘Ma- jor, you must charge the enemy. Save me ten minutes to get my guns ready; g0, Keenan!” The young Philadel- phian, in peace as soft-hearted as a girl, generous, chivalric, the pride of the cavalry knows that it. is certain death, but if Pleasonton 15 willing to sacrifice his right arm, the right arm is ready, and f\'eunnn, with a smile, says: ‘T will!” RIDING DOWN TO DEATH. Then Keenan takes a grip upon hLis reins, suys jocularly ‘“‘good-by” and wheels his horse with such a fouch as the beast never felt before. He nods as he passes Huey, and a moment thereafter says: *‘Cavalry, charge! and so quiet 18 his voico that the three hundred troopers barely hear it in the great But what terrible ay! The men know the grit of them, and if any of the three hundred pales at the awful thing about to be done there is no sign of 1t to Pleasonton, watching eagerly, but in perfect contidence as they respond. In a headlong drive the squadron cut a swath from the mass of fugitives and come to the edge of the woods, The pavse there is but for a moment, as then Keenan and Huey ride abreast into a narrow road, and ‘the cavalry- men follow two by two. Caps are raked off by the brushwood, faces are scratched and torn by the hanging briers, but Keenan rides fast and all come after. From the right now and then whistles up a handful of Lullets and a dozen saddles are emptied, but uo notice is taken of the skirmishers, and so Keenan, wheeling to the right dashes into the plank road. And what a sight is before him! Line upon line of Jackson's veterans— great hosts of them—are coming on | the double quick straight up the road. | Keenan throws aside his cap, shouts “sabres!” and spurs his horse plumb into the wall of the bayonets. The first Dattalions are blinded by one flash and another, and nearly half of the three hundred fall, but Keenan, Huey, Arrowsmith and Haddock, backed by their comrades, gather their horses up under thewn and strike uch hot blows that they shock the onooming line for a thousand yards on 1| country, is said to be one of the pret- NN A SRR A LA s Al THE OMAH/ ’\m(hor side. It is tooth to tooth | Never before did three hundred men | cast themselves with such true aim |and 8o impetuously against twenty | thousand victorious and advancing veterans. They struck the head and | front of the moving mass and cleft it like a thunderbolt “And full in the midst rose Keenan, tall In the gloom like & martyr, awaiting his all, While the circlesstroke of his saber swung ‘Round his head like a halo there luminons KEENAN'S DEAD BODY, But though Jackson recovers from the shock and pushes on over the prostrate bodies of Keenan, Mc Arrowsmith, Haddock and their cc rades, ten full minutes have passed and not a moment has Pleasanton been idle. He gathers about him twenty-one guns, double-shotted, and sot m-mlr.mfl(y to sweep the approach. He bides his time until the enemy shall appear. Here they come, fresh from the taking of Keenan's bloud, wild with the news of Jackson's death wound, swarming in deep masses, waving a dozen battle-flags, keen, eager, thirsty. Pleasanton opens. Every gun speaks on the instant—a lurid flash, a crash, a roar, like thun- der-voiced a hundred fold! Hooker, among the desperate of the Eloventh corps, a mile away, hears and r A hundred and twenty thousand sol- diers feel that some good is being done at last. Berry and Birne Sickles and Geary see, from the burn- ing sky, a new daylight spring up in the dusk, and they place their legions at Pleasanton’s back with the thought once more that the army is sayed. It is too dark to see the ruins of parapets, the old graveyard and the well full of war relics on Fairview crest, and T go back to Cato. That sleepy citizen puts his whip down with a meaning, and we leave behind us Jackson's stone, the Dowdall clear- ing, the old \Vilderness church, and come to the Wilderness store. 1n less than hour the horses have taken us from one battle-tield to another, Just down the road is the place where Lee whipped Hooker, and here in this up- land forest is the place where, a year later, Lee tried so hard to throttle Grant. G. M. Hardy Happenings. Coriespondence of The Bee. Haroy, Neb., August 13.-—Hardy, Neb., is one of the latest productions of the castern division of the Repub- lican Valley branch of the B. & M. R. R. It is, T am told, the only town in this section that has a bridge to connect it with the Kansas side of the Republican Valley. Tt has build- ings in course of erection on every block in town,and the mills, churches, and school houses that are talked of indicate that the boom has only be- gun booming. The finest land in Nuckolls county lies north, and the plow of the coming men who will grow into wealthy farmers and stock raisers in the land of peace and plenty. Mr. Henry Laird, a stock raiser, told me that he would guarantee the newcomer betteradvantages, all things considered, for raising butcher's stock in this vicinity than any other place in the west. One of the business items thatI gathered was the fact that for certain good and safficient reasons a magnifi- cently furnished saloon and billiard hall is to be sold. Anyone wanting a rare chance should address G. Dobson, Hardy, Nebraska. The Commercial full to overflowing. I am under obligations to its pro- proprietor, Mr. Henry Laird, one of the most public-spirited citizens of the town, and also to Mr. Stephens, sta- tion agent for the B. & M. On my next visit T will try and get more items in regard to this embryo city. RANGER, house is Blair Briefs, Correspondence of The Tee.
