THE BATTLE OF THE CRATER.
AN Anniversary Account OF the Famnis

This is the anniversary of the battle OF
the Crater. jus. thirty-three Years ago,
or on July 80, 1864. that terrible encoun-
ter took place before Petersburg. 1t
was on a, Saturday morning. No man
who was there will ever forget the day
or hour, that the mine under the angle
or the Confederate works around Peters
burg, known as Elliott's Salient, vas ex-
ploded, buryiag under the debris of
earth and timber about 300 South, Caro-
lima troops who occupied the works at
that point, and creating 4 huge chasm,
known as the Crater, which was about
200 feet long. CO feet wide. and about 80
feet deep.
Mahone's brigade, occupying n posi-
ton In the rear OF the South Carolina
troops, was under orders to be ready to
move At an instant's warning, as 1t
was known that the Fedcrals were min
Ing somewhere along the line. The Con-
fcderates had countermined in two
places, one of them being near the Cra-
ter. The Federal mine was exploded at
i:4i O'Clock Saturday morning.
When the Crater had been In posses

marching to the Ragland house the men
Invested themselves of all equipments,
ave rifles. baycne.s and cartridge
boxes. Their they advanced by n circu-
itous route to the plank road, and
through the covered way to the little
knoll from which General Malone
counted eleven .egimental flags in the
Crater. and estimated the Federal force
there ut 5000 men. He sent Immediate

The column lay Nat on the ground un-
til the order to charge Was given, when
they arose and dashed forward with a
yell, a solid line Of gray, three hundred
yards in length.
The trenches were quickly gained, and
the hand-to-hand encounter began, and
w!:hin ten minutes the bottom of the
trenches Were st:ewn with the bodies
of the negro troops who occupied them.
Although the reachcs were carried tho
Crater itself, with fifty yards of the
works, was still held Ly the enemy III
fotcc. Two unsuccessful attempts Were
made to retake these works.
Meantime the losses Of the Federal
troops in ;he Crater by the effective ar
tillcry fire OF the Confedccatcs was very
heavy, while their suffeyings from thirst
were severe.
AT / o'clock Saunders Alabamians
made a splendid charge and carried tbs

sides being tremendous.
