VIRGINIA BATTLE FIELDS. | A Tramp Through the Thickets (T and Along the Lines of the Bloody Angle | Many Reminders of the War's| Fiercest Combat-=Whero | Sedgwick Fell [ Philadelphia SPOTTSYLVANIA, H.. August 18 Of all the strug of the war this | [at the Bloody Angle| was perhaps the | fiercest and most deadly. The ground literally covered with piles of | , and the woods in front of the | ient were one hideons Golootha, 1| am aware that this language may re- | semble exaggeration, but T speak of | what I personally saw. 1In the vicious | phraseolozy commonly employed by | those who never witnessed o battlo- | field, ‘‘piles of dead” figures wmuch more frequently than they exist in the reality. They phrase is here no figure of speech, as can be attested by thousands who witnessed the ghastly scene —[Swinton's Army of the Poto. mac. As seen by the stranger this historic hamlet is a place of interest aside from its connection with the battle-field. 1t consists of a group of a half-dozen byildings, contral among which is the cotirt-house, a small, old fashioned brick structure, in the mids of a delightful grove and a lawn ca: peted with grass. In the summ cedars and sycamores give good shade to the people who came here to settle their disputes, while in the winter warmth of both kinds —from fire-place and demijohn—is always on hand at the big tavern across the way, Were it not for the iron-bound windows and the defiant faces occasionally seen lv_ucriug therefrom the jml would look ike a plain dwelling houss, and so, similarly, the only sign to dicate that another bnilding is a store is a number of empty dry goods boxes piled in front. x)I"he publie pump at tho point in front of the tavern whore the Fredericksburg road joins the Brock road is visited now and then by little darkeys who balance buckets upon their heads and in the evenings a few children play hall, mumbloty- peg and scratch-my-back gato of the court-house piece of the country with the barest hint of town life. SIGNS OF THE STRUGGLE, No one pt to think as he r on the broad bench of the tavern porch, sees ihe sheep in the field a dozen steps away, hears the jingle of the cow bells just down the road, and catches the fragrance blown up from the meadow, that here Grant and Lee, joininz in bloody combat, wrestled for twolve days. Nevertheless, it needs but a glance in any direction to see evidences of the struggle. The court house still carries its scars, the heavy columns of the hotel porch show a number of shell marks, and all around are remains of carth-works that stretch for miles to the north and south. Grant’s place of head- quarters, below the Fredericksburg road, has little of interest about it, the Nye is an ordinary stream,the Po, on the other side of the battle-fisld, is like the commonest of Virginia creeks, and Laurel Hill, where the action of the Oth ocourred, is thickly timbered as of yore. Mounds and rifle-pits are seen at various ponts, and the place near the Po where some of Hancock’s men found themselves with a fierce foe n front and a raging wood fire behind yet shows remnants of burnt timber, indicative of the fray. I sought unsuccessfully for the spot where lion-hearted Sedgwick fell, That glorious old warrior’s lines are plainly traceable on the Alsop farm, and Mr. Alsop thinks that he knows the fatal point—now marked by a dead oak—but there is no certainty as to the place. AT THE EDGE OF THE ANGLE, The deputy sheriff, inn-keeper and leading citizen of the settloment, Mr. Ashby, who is a kinsman of the brill- iant cavalryman of that name, kindly offered to show me what was to be seen, and after breakfast we started for what he called the ‘“‘Horschoe,” | or as it is more generally known the “Bloody Angle.” Driving northward on the level Brock road for less than half a mile, we wheeled abruptly into a by-way to the right, and began to pass througrh a thicket of small pines. lhese evergreens, which have grown on the margin of the McCool farm since the battle, threaten to choke the narrow road. What we were go- ing through was more like a bridle- ]‘mth than a place for wheels, but, heedless of the ends of limbs that whipped him 1n the eyes and brushed against the sides of the buggy, our horse dashed along, fetching us finally to a fallow field, wherein stands the McCool house. This place is one of grim fame and lasting history, for in the woods hereabouts death’s maw was gorged in the longest, fiercest, ghastliest hand-to-hand combat known to man, Tall oaks surround the house, which is a weather-beaten, ricketry fstructure that clearly has been through the mills, At the time of the battle the dwelling was occu- pied by Farmer McCool, bachelor, with his two maiden sisters, When it grew hot and deafening all around the family went into the cellar, and there, Miss Millie, sitting by the side of her sick sister, wrote the following note: Grant, General: Siz—1 desire that you stop this nasty fighting, . There is a sick lady in the house, | even Miroren McCoor, A trembling courier in the person of a black boy succeeded in delivering the note within the Union lines, but oddly enough the battle was allowed to continue, “‘And would you believe it!” Miss Millie was wont to exclaim in chats with her neighbors many a year there- after, “‘and would you reully believe it! the Yankee gentleman wasn't gen- tleman enough to grant a lady’s re- (uest,” “‘Shame! shame!” would come in chorus, and Miss Millie's ancient rock- ing-chair would stand still from the very amazement of the good woman between itsarms. And to this day Grant is held up by Miss Millie's a8 a person who is ‘“no gentleman.” One morning, two days afterwards, it Wwas 80 quiet that the occupants of the cellar cencluded that the storm had | the laughing | side of the an | turned, for there a swept over, and Farmer McCool can tiously thrust his head up from below A Union_soldier who saw the head wbbed it, and the old man ducked down, leaving his wig in posscssion of harpshooter. HE SLAUGHTER T} | incidents were pleasant to| hicar as we left the house, went out at | a farm ga‘e at the foot of the hillside lawn and drove through a belt of ancient and towering oaks to the Bloody Angle. We struck the apex | at a point where the earthworks stand | knee high, The line runs to the right | as far as the eye can see along the » of a thick woods, and to the left | ctly into the depth of a wmass of scrub oaks and pines. In front of us ten yards away, wasa little, yellowish, clay-plastered house, recently built Beyond was a field of corn and down | the V-shaped clearing, at the point of | which we were, could be seen the| Landrum hov v quarter of a mile away., Walking along the line of carthworks to the left we found little | Such di except a continuous low mound, top ped by trees of recent growth, and we were soon tired of the sameness of the | thing. Then we returned by the same carthworks, being on the line of an obtuse angle gainreached the X ne ett’s log cabin, The other © is much » inter- | The parapet It is vasy to see that the breastworks, up | tomy chin in mar were ditches on each side of the long line. The yellow mouldering trunks of tree { stumpe, logs full of bullet-holes that took as though that were worm-holes, hundreds upon hundreds of rusty ca teens, picces of shoe leather, nants of rubber blankets, bits of car ridge-boxes, and here and there small bones are scattered everywhere along the line. Corn grows in a part of the space over which Hancock charged up to the works, but on the other side, whence came Lee's assaults, is what is left of the old growth of oak, to- gether with a dense thicket of young dogwood sprung up within the last fiftecn years. THE OAK FELLED BY BULLETS. These sights made made me feel more forcibly than ever before that 1 was indeed at the heart of a battle- field. I wanted to stop at every stump to pick for bullets, forgetting that such a precious thing as lead must have been borne away long ago, 1 was of the mind to kick the dead leaves from e vifle-pit, of which there were sec I even searched for the spot whence had been drawn the stump of the red oak that was hacked down by minie-balls, And no doubt in the eagerness of the hour I made myself an_ohject of supressed merri- ment to Mr. Ashby? in whom familiar- ity with the place had bred contempt. If such were the humor of my genial guide he concealed it with the grace of his family and lead me pleasantly along the crest of the works, which curve to the south and come to an end ast more than a qnarter ot a mile from the cabin at the apex. Half way around the horseshoe we saw an old sitting on alog picking black- beeries, which grew thickly at his right hand. ““Yes, sir,” he said, in reply to a question, ‘““they tuck me right heah at this heah spot. T was with Johnson’s Brigade, Ewell's Co’a, and on the mo'nin’ of the twelf’ of May, sixty- foah, T had my ole gun stickin’ under this heah very log—dis un right heah —Iblong up in Orange, and bein’s I was at Fredericksburg thought I'd come over and look at her. Damme if ’tain’t the same ole log—she’s right heah.” “Then you were captured along with the 4,000 other Johnnies?” “Well, now, I want you to hush. Wish I maydrap dead if I wan't esting. is hi places, bangin' 'way ‘hout daybread in the mo'nin’ when I see some Yanksa comin’ ’cross from the house there- away. I picks out a fat Dutchman and says to Jerry Mulroy, of Cul- peper, say “Jerry, my dear, jes see me pepper that d-—n Dutch Yank.’ T pulls and the Dutchman drops, and 1 starts to bite a ca’tridge again,when 1 hears some "un kind o’ cold-like say: Drap that gun’ 1 looks over my #houlder, and damme, gentlemen, if thar wan't a‘Yank with his svord drawn standin’ over me right at my back. Mo’ ’‘an that; wish I way die if the woods wan't full of ’em-——chuck full of Yanks, and how they got be- hind us I do'an know. But I drapped her quick and walked off to Wash- ington.” RELICS AND BURIED CANNON. This further end of the salient is now covered with young ovines and persimomns. The ditches, dug in such ]mstc, with spade and bayonet, seven- teen years ago, are now partly filled with Yeaven and shatters, while briars, wild vines, the ox-dye daisy and blue- flowered nettles now set traps to trip the footman in his rambles. Mr, Ashby tells me that the lead picked up on the McCool property after the battle was sold for twice as much as the property was worth, For months the darkeys of the county dug among the intrenchments in search of bul- lots, shells and scraps of brass, Tt is a bit of local tradition that four brass guns are buried in the corn-field near the old man Jett's hat, which is not more than two hundred feet from the place where the famous red oak stood. These delightful evenings, when the good people of the country round- about gather upon the tavern porch, the story of the cannon comes up and it is decided that they oughtto be dug for, but Mr, Jett hoes his corn in peace and without fear. He isn’t afraid of ghosts, and though many skeletons no doubt lie under their thin crust within sight of his door, he has yet to hear the midnight sound that startles him from slumber, Here more men than there are ears of corn in his clearing or hairs in his bushy, gray beard, gave up their lives, but this tenant of the bloodiest corner of a bloody battle-field smokes his pipe and scratches his head in utter uncon- cern. THE GLORY OF THE VOLUNTEER, Here was the most perfect realiza- tion of the glory of the volunteer, and he who walks upon this ground must'perforce pay a tribute, not to Grant, not to Hancock, not to Miles, but to the man with the knapsack and the gun. When the Union lines wavered the day before, cfficers spoke of the men as cowards. The truth was that the officers were at fault and the men knew it. When the attack | thick woods, across a ¢ Y “|combat of unparalleled “ferocity and *[awful sacrific | measur THE OMAHA DAILY BEE 'I‘l’ljfil\\\'A AUGU been planned, and then they moved t the slaughter with faultless step and | incomparablo steadiness A sunny, sultry day had closed in a thunders 1 and the 10,000 men of Hancock’s Second corps found the night wet and raw When the first ray streak of dawn strotches along the sky of the east they form for the | charge, and at half-past 4 they moye silently and swiftly up a slope, through ing and strike the enemy. hey bay onet hundreds of Ewell's men in the trenches and capture 4,000 more. They give and take, and for two hours work with spade and gun to hoid what they have gained. Then the Sixth Corps, New Yorkers, Pennsylvanians, Mountain boys, men from Ohio, plant | themselves around the ang'e of cap- | tured works, and for twenty hours tight fiercely in the never-ending roar Lee has lost a point, and with dos- perate purposes, time and again, he hurls the pick of his veterans host savagely down into the woods. On of the bank of earth floats the flag, bullet-spotted and in shreds wid tatters, and on the other droops he torn banner of the South. The trenchies on one side are filled with Union dead, and on the other are heaps of robel slain, Trees as thick s a man’s body aro torn down_ in the terrific storm of shot, rain falls in torrents, and thousands of mud cov- ered fellows, with guns that almost refuse the powder, wrestle hand to wvithout rest, from sunrise until rk.

Deutsche Zeitung of New Orleans, The whole of the location of the canal which stretches through an end- loss morass, and for the most part is inhabited only by alligators and pois- | — onous serpents, demonstrates the ex- traordinary unhealthiness of the coun- try. There prevails a certain mala- rious fever, which is even more dan- derous than yellow-fever. The names of several places, such as ‘“Eu- ropeans’ Grave,” *‘Fever Grotto,” and “Death’s Zephyr,” would alone suflice to prevent a thinking man from going there as a laborer. Only journals that are falsely intormed could think of persuading laborers to set out for Panama. There are about 200 and sixty European anal, and these are occupied with ments and with cutting away the t and climbing plants 1 the future bed of the canal. These jobs, however, advance very slowly. murderous climate demands so many victims that about one-half of the workmen are continually lying sick. Already & mass of human skeletons ¢ there; and as in its time y between Colon and Pana ma, forty-seven and one-half miles long, required a human victim for every inch, there will be no foot of this new enterprise which will not pay its tribute to death, It frequently happens that laborers are found dead in the woods, Physicians and medi- cines are scarce. At least there are none to be found at the right time and 1 the right place. Of hospitals for the poor victims there are as yet none that are satitfactory. Wretched barracks have been stuck up, which do not even keep out the rain.

They get rice three times a day, coffee morning and evening, and at noona very small piece of salt meat. Bread is never given. With all this, the men, who have to work in a heat of nearly 100 degrees for nearly ten hours a day, re- ceiving the miscrable sum of $17 a month. Out of this, also, the rainy days are deducted when 1t is impos- sible to work. The devices employed to make it difticult for laborers to get away from Panama can readily be understood. It is exceedingly easy to get there, and from all parts of the world ships [ & bring men gratis; but when they wish to loavo the prices are fabulously |G lugh, The Panama Raiiroad demands for its forty-seven miles the extraor- dinavy fare of $26. All the laborers complain, and every one who has got money to get away hastens as quickly as possible, so as not to leave his bones there forever. Many go to Pa na or Colon to buy their horses and ride off for Mexico or Costa Rica, where the climate is more healthy, but the wages are yet worse than at the canal. That new- cemers find themselves in a most sad situation is easy to understand. Every man who leaves his home to subject himself to all possible fatigue and to that murderous climate is to be pitied. Even the speculators are, bitterly dis- appointed in their expectations. Since the laborers earn as good as nothing, it is plain that they can only buy the most indispensable things, The first duty of the company should have been to provide for the erection of hospisals, in which the laborers should be treated gratis; and the second duty should have been te provide sufticiently good food; and, finally, wages should bo raised and the time of work shortcned. Aslong as this is not done the company will have to get its workmen from China, Rice and beans are abundant in the country, and the sons of the middle kingdom require nothing more. —_— Pi. . y2: "Thare aiu't wo haz been_ et more, pple pi, and_no medi. estun and biliouseness pring Blosom,” Price 50 cents, trial bottles ten cents, 20-eodlw \ Josh Dillings says uatral histry that thot more oft th e STOP THAT COUGH, If you are suffering from a Cough, Cold Asthma, Bronchitis, Hay Fever, Consumption, loss of voice, tickling of the throat, or any affection of the Throat or Lungs, use Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, This is the great remedy that is causing so much excitement by its wonderful cures, curing thousands of hopeless cases.
