BAIILE OF CRATER IN CIVIL WAR LEAVES
Casualties of Struggle for Union Forces
Marked Spectacular Triumph Won by
Confederates' Brilliant Fight.

Il was an officer of Confederate
States Engineers at the time. We
knew the Federals were mining in
front of our works, our men being
warned and cautioned against surprise
and panic. We were sinking shafts and
mining galleries, trying to head the
Yankee miners of at the salient where
the mine was exploded and also at
two other salients.
Had it not been for the cross
firing at Colquitt's, Gracies' and Ell
lots salients I am sure the enemy
would nave swept over us, making
Petersburg our Appomattox, for by
sunup that summer morning the Fed
erals would have held Cemetery Hill
twhere is the historical and beautiful
old Blandford church,, and Peters,
burg must have fallen before sunset
and the war been practically over.
V1EWED in the light of after
events. it is almost to be re-
GREETED that the struggle was pro-
longed by the splendid but useless
defense of the lines, Johnson's Divi-
sion losing about 1000 brave men:
Colquitt's Brigade alone about 800, and
Elliot's 900. while Mahone's Division,
which had been ordered from the right
of our lines, lost 500 men. His divi-
sion advanced through Petersburg,
forming line Of battle along Cemetery
Hill in front of the Crater and in the
final rush all along the lines drove
the enemy 'pellmelr from our works

many in Washington, probably as late
as 1900. In 1880. other cigar stores on
Ninth street included the following: At

at the corner Of Pennsylvania avenue
by r. c. Gwynn: 4ool2 by John w.

Abram J. Harding. Later Joseph w.
Reed conducted his tobacco store at
the northwest corner of Ninth and E
streets NV, and he. too. exhibited
one OF the picturesque wooden In

Mr.. Reed will be recalled, at least
by few early Washingtonians, as be-
ing the husband Of the Mrs Reed who
was drowned when the steamer Wawa-
set was burned to the waters edge on
August 8. 1873. together with three
children by former marriage.
The Wawaset was rather small
freight and passenger vessel and was
built in 1853 at Wilmington, Del. The
following year she was bought by the
Potomac Ferry Co. and brought to
these waters. and from that date until
the disaster occurred was used in
making regular trips to Coan River.
Though not large boat, yet she was
considered at the time the finest ex-
cursion steamer then plying the Po-
tomac.

to be on fire it was about 40 miles
down the Potomac, of what was then
known as Chattertons Landing. Capt.

on the Virginia side about 200 yards
from the waters edge. The captain
and the pilot displayed the traditional
heroism Of their offices and remained
at their posts until the end, the cap
tain being the last to leave the vessel,
and the pilot did not precede him until
the pilot box was completely enveloped
by the flames.

In Richmond two years ago, in '96,
to see what changes time had wrought.
I found the breastworks gone, ami
hilated, and where Elliot's hAnd-to-
hand death grspple was fought I
found luxurious cornfield and large
musk and watermelon patch. Now
and then I found . dread messenger
Of death which the rains had un-
earthed and which picked up and
brought home as mementoes Of lang
syne.' However, the crater was there
in all its grimness, If not its ghastli-
ness, and recalled scenes I had rather
not remembered. I found it not much
changed, about as large If not as deep,
and grass is now growing over 1t with
little bushes here and there, and a
pine tree much larger than my body
growing on the side about halfway
from the bottom to the top. It struck
me that the tree was growing very fast,
but pine trees grow fast in rich soil.
