In Campaigning With Grant" in
the February Century, Gen. Horace
Porter tells how the Union army de-
stroyed the Virginia Central railroad,
near the North Anna. He says: went
with portion of Russell's division Of
Wrights corps, which began the work
OF destruction at point on the rail
road about eight hundred yards from
the enemy's extreme left. A brigade
was extended along one side Of the
road In single rank, and at given sig
nal the men took hold of the rails, lift
ed up the road, and turned 1t upside
down. Then, breaking the rails loose,
they used them as levers in prying on
the cross-ties, which they piled up at
different points, laid the rails across
them and set fire to the ties. As soon
as the rails became sufficiently hot they
bent In the middle by their own
weight; efforts were then made to twist
them so as to render them still more
unserviceable. Several miles of rail
way were thus destroyed.
