Wilson used « significant word when he said that absolutely consistent people were “impossible.” He perhaps meant they were “difficult” or “absurd.” Yet they are literally impossible, There is no place for them in society and they conse to be. The logic of consistency, like the logic of truth, fe death. The man who goes around saying exactly what he thinks will get himeelf killed, perhaps rightly. The man who undertakes to be true et all times and places to his original set of principles and beliefs and never to amend or mitigute them will end by taking his own life, thoreby avowing his an “impossible” task. Such is the lesson of Japanese hari-karl, The sclf-slaughter it inculoates is the seal, not of honor, as often alleged, but of consistency. People who profess a double loyalty and are both extremely candid and utterly consistent ere called funatics.

Grant had hammered bis way toward Richmond, sometimes checked by Lee, sometimes forced to abandon a cherished plas | because the Confederate leader’s genius thwarted it. After the Uniom | repulse at Cold Harbor in an effort to reach Richmond from the north, | Grant swiftly moved his whole army south of the James River and moved ‘against Petersburg, which place (about twenty miles from Richmond), | seemed to be the one great barrier between himself and the Confederate | capital. It was much the same plan that McClellan had devised—and had | not executed—two years earlier. 7 Then, in rather swift succession, came the two Up'sa bluncr.,that cost the North more than 60,000 men and delayed Richtmowd’s capture by the best part of a year. So suddenly did Grant shift his army from Cold Harbor and rush it ‘eaieiiaaial to Petersourg that the Confederates had not time to mass any adequate force Dehind the intrenchments there. Grant, on June 16, 18M, ordered a general assault on the Petersburg defenses. And here came the first blunder. Of the several Generals intrusted with the attack one moved too slowly, two more were not kept in touch with the advance of another, and #0 on, In a series of mistakes and misunderstandings thet even at this time are hard to unravel The ansault was made, after @ fashton. And it failed, although the de‘eniers ‘were few and their defenses weak. “Had there been @ proper understanding that day between Grant, Meade, Hancock and Smith,” one istorian, “Petersburg would have heen taken ‘fore night, and a weary, wasting ten-month slexe avoided.” ‘The blunder had been made. Before another such attack could be arranged thousands of Confederate troops were p ng into | the Petersburg intrenchments. utrong to be carried by storm. One battle followes another, Various points of vantage around Petersburg wore contested and taken, But Petersburg tteelf held firm despite every effort to capture it. At Jength Grant realized that nothing further could be gained by smashing away at the defences. So he besteged the place. He had intrenche mente bullt clone to those of the Confederates, and except for constant skire mishes, neither army @id more for a while except to construct and strengthen redoubts. Then came @ eecond great Union plan and « second great blunder, ‘The plan, betefly, wae to tunnel @ way underground to spot beneath as important part of the Petersburg defences and there to lay @ mine.

It tore a great hole in the Ground 170 feet long, 30 feet deep and 60 feet wide. This hole wae later spoken of as “the Crater.” So far the plan was a perfect success. But instead of the quick, tumultuous charg wae to have followed it there was a general mixup and an inexcusable delay. Unton troops were not seit forward quickly enough into the gap. There was confusion as to orders. Thou- muds of the troops that actually #14 advance charged straight into the yawning crater. The Confederates (who had ssandoned the trenches for 200 yards each aide of the mine), were given ample time to recover from the shock, to reoccupy their deserted trenches and to send @ murderous artiliry fire into the crater. It was fully half an hour before they did so, but the Northern troops’ advance had been even slower. The ill-arranged attack fell back with a tons of nearly 4,00 men. Gen. Grant wrote of the affair: “The effort was a stupendous failure, due to ine Mctency on the part of the corps commander and the incompeténcy of the division commander who was pent to lead the assault.” ‘The dreary siege Was renewed and tt dragged on with terrible loss of lite on both sides until early the next spring. ‘Then, Sherman having completed hie triumphal Georgia march, rushed his army northward.
