VIRCINIA BATTLE-FIELDS. Btanding With Mahone on the Walls of the “ Crater.” Dropping Rebel Shells Into a Pit of Dying Soldiers. How the Rebel Line was Broken and Petersburg was Left Untaken cial Correspondence Cineinnati Commercial IRSBURG, August 15. —*‘A fear- ful scene and a terrible day was that Crater fight,” said General Mahone as he stood looking at a large painting on his parlor wall, ‘“‘and that is the best representation of a battle that 1 1t shows you the terrible hand struggle which went on arful July morning in '64,when 6,000 Union troops and no telling how many Confederates were slain between daylight and noon. By the way have you ever been out there! The scene of this fight is but a short drive from here. Not” ““The horses at G, John,” and then in to the writer, *‘it will be pleas- ever sa ant driving at that time, and it will quite repay you to see the old ‘erater,’ or such parts of it as are left stand s 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 grass and shrubbery a brighter hue, as we whirled by them, behind two dashing blacks, driven by the Vir- ginia senator’s liveried coachman, *“The final battles of Lee’s army and the last and most stubborn resistance which they made, and which proving futile rosulted 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 territic. For ten months the two great armies of Lee and Grant lay intrenched be- fore this town. The entire country is a battle-ground. 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 etening of the 15th of June. The Second corps, the ad- vance of the army of the Potomac, had crossed the Jamesriver two nights before, and at midnight of the 1bth, a pontoon bridge had been construct- e(l, 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 mighte, 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 groat armies re- mained quiet, recuperating their strength. During the latter part of June and the whole of July the armies were engaged in rectify An 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 lines at some points were not over two hundred yards apart, wlile the picket lines in front were not over that many feet from each other. The sharpshooters of each side kept up a continual firing, and 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 camedown. A fellow lying stretch- ed out along the limb of a tree, con- cealed by the foliaze, would wait hour after hour, through rain and shine, for the pleasure of {niu ng 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 tkem a regiment under command of Lieutenant Colonel Pleasants, the torty-eighth Pennsylvania. I think it was composed largely of coal miners who, under the direction of a skillful engineer, executed theidea of mining and blowing up a battery of the ene- my. The work was certainly well ex- ecuted, The gallery was begun at noon on the 25th of June. The uten- sils were of the rudest kind, but many hands soon made great progress. 1 | horse’s feot off of them. {eurve in the gallery, and there he | found that it had gone out. He relit it at that pomt and then fled for his life. He had scarcely reachied ths en trance when the earth shookas though its very depths had boen stirred. The fort which had been undermined was at the time garrisoned by Pegram's battery from Petersburg, and con- sisted of four guns and forty men. It overlooked a slight ravine, and behind it was a level field running to the base of Cemetery hill, which the federals had hoped to carry. The fort was blown to atoms, while deep hole, many yards in length, and shaped like an egg, the sides of which had been thrown up by the ex- rl...im., was filled with dying men and horses, all_enveloped in the gray smoke which [vnurfl‘ out of the crev- ices of earth in all divections When 1 arrived on the field, which was soon after, my command consisting of three brigades, the Federal troops had com mand of the remnant of the fortifica- tion, while the road to Petersbury was unguarded. Why they did not pour through sooner and carry the town is one of the things T never could com prehend, for they could have done it as casily as not. - My wmen formed in line at once with tixed bayonets, and work on earth, we charged. The Fod- erals charged at the same time over the high wall and down upon us like butchers, They fired, and the volley went over our heads. Ours was more eftective, and they were stunned. It was then a_hand-to-hand couflict, the most terrible I ever saw; but we drove them back behind the smoking walls of the crater, among the dead and dying already there.” A private soldier in General Ma- hone’s brigade, who was wounded that day, but is now the clerk of the Jar- rett house, in Petersburg, says that this was the most terrible fighting he saw in_the war. “I had no more idea when I was ordered out that morning that I would live until now, than I have now of dropping dead. I saw that the Union men had command of the place where the old fort had been, and I was only surprised that they had not taken the town. They came down over the crater wall like madmen. We thought our time had surely come. I remem- ber their battlescry, “Fort Pillow, and no quarter,” and I determined to act on the same principle. It was the most eatisfactory fighting I ever did. You see when we used to shoot our guns we never knew much whether we had killed anybody or not and the chances were in favor of the latter. I only fired my gun once in that fight, but when I knocked a man down with the butt of my gun, and pinioned him to the ground with a bayonet, I knew he was dead. T made 1t a principle to make no nigger prisoner. T killed every one I met until T was shot down and carried off the field. We fought like demons, and we were demons. It was every man for himself that day, and I hope I will never live to seo another like it.” Finally Mahone's brigade drove the Union forces back into the crater. General Mahone says the ground about him was so thick with the slain that it was impossible to keep his The rebels who were killed in the explosion were of course terribly mangled and many were fastened in the earth only to be trampled down by the soldiers after- wards, The crater was now a mass of dead and dying. One poor fellow after another would crawl up the bank only to be shot down, and finaly, 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. T picked up a canteen within the crater walls, with nothing left 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 is covered with a 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 siege. As a result of that day's fighting the union forces had made a slight ad- vance but had lost 6,000 men, and gained but little real advantage. ‘““Those were the dark days of the country,” said General Mahone at The gallery was well timbered and perfect in every respect. The main gallery was completed on July 17, and was 010.8 feet in length. General Lee had obtained information of the mine and set his men to work ona counter-mine to find it. They did not strike deep enough and went above the federals, who could hear the confederates above them. We would not hear the federals though. Hearing the confederates above them the federals excavated a little beyond but in the rear of their works, thus giving their gallery a curved direction. A left 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 be- tween 4 and 10 p. m. on that day.” 'V::Huw much powder was placed in it? ‘‘Well, you see the federals desired not only to blow up the fort above them and thus break our lines, but they hoped to create a terrlble amount of confusion, during which they could ‘;uah through and carry the heights eyond. 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 38ith of July, 1864, it was fired. The federal troops had been drawn up in battle, and the explo- sion was to be the signal to charge The hour fixed for the signal came, but the signal came not. It would not do to wait long.

S8, L. THE POPE. Some Personal Points About His Holiness. Geneva (Switz.) Times. Leo XIII is a crowned scholar. From a child he took kindly to his book, and the Jesuits turned him into feeling that this was our last day's |« THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: !i!llll!*ll.\\' AUGU of his policy are now sufficiently de | fined. ~ His attitude toward the gov ernment is the wisegt, if it be not the only pessible one® he could have | adopted. He stan1s on the, defensive | and bides his time I'wo points in the purely spiritual policy of Leo X111, deserve notice. The second of | the popes officially recognized as in- | falllble, he has not, any more than the first, made the slightest use of the extraordinary power vested last general council in the holy see. He has defined no disputed doctrine Tnt truth the council which proclaimed the pope infallible where speaking ex cathodra has necessarily made the pope extremely eautious of giying ex- pression to ex cathedra utterances. Absolute power has often been re marked to exercise a sobering in- flacnco on its possessor. Kven so, authority to decide the most solemn questions without appeal is one which a man who is at once an Italian and a priest, a scholar and a diplomatist, will not belikely to abuse. This is the negative result of Leo's reig the positive is the new impulse he ha given to the study of the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. When one re members t the favorite of Maurice lar, at the Angelic Doctor was ion ungue gest-mmded of Pre me ca a better hope for the future of the universal church from this circum- | stance, And, whatever opiaion 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, as of old, with the temporal sword, but simply by the study of what he holds to be the soundest philosophy. The present generation may or may not accept the conclusions of St. Thomas; it will certainly gain by studying, if only with a view to refute him. Like every Pope since the Reforma- tion, Leo XIII, is a thoroughly good man. Still, if one may venture tc compare his moral standard with that of his immediate predecessor, one would be inclined to state the differ- ence between them as consisting in the fact that Leo las more of the wisdom of the serpent, while Pius had more the innocence of the dove. Pius kept a child-like heart and faith to the last, and the Bishop of Perugia, who knew the world had showed it, rose but slowly into his sovereign’s confi- dence. He received the red hatin 1863, but was not appointed Camer- lengo till twenty-four years later. The days of Pius were already num- bered, and he must have known tha in thus singling out Pecci for distine- tion he was almost designating him as a desirable successor. The courtly and accomplished cardinal had at length won his way to the pontifl’s cordial esteem. Pius, too, may have suspected that he had set too little store by the wisdom of this world, and that, humanly speaking, no small share would ke necessary to the man who was next to steer the bark of St. Peter through the troubled waters. Vanderbilt's New Mansion. New York Letter. 1t will be a good many months yet before Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt’s mag- nificent mansion on Fifth avenue is ready to occupy. All the work is so elaborate that even thé least part of it takes a great deal of time. The ex- terior is neither as imposing nor at- tractive as one might expect to find it after reading any of the deseriptions tten up from the architect’s plans. ‘I'he flat surface of the wall gives the whole a rather duil look, which, at a short distance, is hardly reliaved by the fine carving and scroll work on various parts of the stone. As the stone itself is the ordinary brown storie common to all parts of New York there is nothing particularly striking in the outsine effect. The building is, in fact, rather plain— much more so than they are on the adjoining block, which will be occu- pied by Mr, Vanderbilt'’s oldest son -- and looks more substantial than ornate. In this respect 1t may be re- garded as reflacting the owner’s char- acter, for Vanderbilt is not a showy man by any means. The most nobby thing about him is those stringy side- whiskers which the comic 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 new house certainly will be. No expense is to be spared In the fit- ting up and decoration, at all events, The smallest thing, as well as the largest, must be 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 he must have a silver-plated tub to bathe in, but that he is satisfied with anything less than a geld one.

The one result was pretty certain to follow from the other, as the key to the educational success of the Jes- uits is to be found in their principle of first ascertaining a pupil’s apitudes and then cultivating them to the best of their power. Joachim Pecci’s youth was a series of academical triumphs, each of which signalized the addition of a fresh province of learning tu his intellectual dominion. Classics were first mastered, then mathematics, next physics, and afterwards moral philos- ophy, in which he gave instruction at the age of 19. Perhaps he might have remained a scholar and nothing more, but in the third decade of his life he fell under the influence—one would rather say rose to the influence —of the famous Cardinal Odeschal- 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 enter the or- der of Jesus and gave innumerable other proofs of Christian humility and devotion to his master's cause. Among the services he rendered to the Church of Rom= not the least was the conversion of Pecci, as one ma: call it, in the true sense of the word. He turned his mind to a serious though not austere view of religion, and had the happiness of admitting him to holy orders.
