A* Vtf.lT TO THE * InLIVOF THE BLOOD- Dylt.-T HTITQGLE OF T'fE WAR—THE BLOODY ANGLE AS IT NOW * APPEALS— OLD BP.EA3T WORKS —THE VOL- Ui\TEEKS ; qppK t. G. M. in Philadelphia Times. Spottsylvana C OURT-Ii OUB E, August, 21. Of all the struggles of the war this (at Bloody Angle) was perhaps the fiercest and most deadly. The ground was literally covered with piles of dead, and the woods in front of the Balient was one hideous Gol gotha. lam aw r are this language may resemble exaggeration, but I speak of what I personally saw. In the vicious phraseology commonly employed by those who never wit nessed a battle-field “piles ol dead” figure much more frequently than they exist in the realign The phrase is here no figure of speech, as can be attested by thousands who witnessed the ghastly scene.— [Swinton’s Army of the Potomac. No one is apt to think as he rests on the broad bench of the tavern porch) gees the sheep in the field a dozen steps away, hears the jingl ing of cow-bells just down the road, and catches the fragrance blown up from the meadow, that here Grant and Lee, joining in bloody combat, wrestled for twelve days. Never theless, it needs but a glance in any direction to see evidences of the struggle. The court house still carries its the heavy colunins of the hotel porch show a number of shell marks* and all around are re mains of earthworks that stretch for miles to the north and south. Grant’s headquarters below the Fredericksburg road has Tttle of interest about it, the Ny is ah or ; dinsry stream, the Po, on the oth er side of the battlefield, is flke thej commonest of Virginia creeks, and Laurel Hill, where the action of the: 9th occurred, is thickly timbered as of yore. Mounds and rifle-pits are' seen at various points, .and the place near tile Po where some pf Hancock’s men found themselves: with a fierce foe in front and a rag-1 ing wood fire Behind yet shows rem nant? of Burnt timber, indicative of the fray. X spught unsuccessfully for the spot where the lion-hearted Sedgwick fell. The glorious old warrior’s lines are plainly traceable on the Alsop farm, and Mr. Alsop thinks that he knows the fatal point—now r a.Led by a dead oak —b .I there is no certainty as to the place. AT TllE EDbk OF THk ANGLE. ' The deputy-sheriff, inn-keeper,; and leading citizen pfthe settlement Mr, Ashby, who is a kinsman of the! brilliant cavalryman ,of that name, kindly offered to show me what was to be seen, and after breakfast we started for what he called the' “Horseshoe,” or, as it is .more gen- ! erally 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, through a thicket of small pines. The evergreens, which have grown on the margin of the McCool, farm since the battle, threaten to choke the narraw road. What we’ were going through was more like a ? bridle-path than a place for wheels; but, heedless of the ends o£ limbs that him in the ey?B -and - brushed against the sides ot tho bug- O-V ’ ' ' ' ; ouk HORsk DASHED ALONG, fetching us finally to a fallow wherein standp t the McCool, This place is >one of grim fame and lasting history, for in the woods' hereabout death’s maw was in the longest, fiercest, hand-to hand .combat known to man. Tall oaks surrounded the house, which is a weather-beaten, rickety structure that clearly has been through the mills. At the time of the* battle the dwelling was occupiecl by farmer McCoolj bachelor, with his v two maiden, sis ter*. When it grew het and deaf ening all, around the cellar, and there Miss Millie, sittting by the eivlo uf her sick oiotor, wroto tho fol-j lowing note: “Grant General, Sir : ‘tdesirei that you stop this nasty fighting* There is a sick lady in the house. ’ ’ ’ ; “Mildred McCool.” A trembling courier in the person of a black boy .succeeded in deliv-’ ertng the note within the Union lines, but oddly. enough the Dattle was allowed to continue. “And'would you believe it!’’ Miss Millie was wont to exclaim in chafci with her neighbors many a ye&x thereafter, “and would yon. really believe itl the Yankee general was v n’t gentleman enough to grant a la dy’s request.” , “Shame! shame !*’ would qome in rus, and Miss Millie’s ancient, rpek ing chair would stand still from. ti e very amazement of the good pom an between its arm. And to this, dr.y Grant is held up by Miss Millie’s friends as & person who is “no gen tleman.” ,Qtfie morning, twe drys afterward^it was so quiet that tfSe stoym had twopt over an/1 t Faq .• c McGool cautiously thrust hi;- L< A up fjrom below. A Unjon soldier who saw the head grabbed it and the old man ducked down, leaving the ‘-fig in possession of the laugh ing harpsliobters. - U TIIE SLAUGHTER-PEN.” Such incidents were pleasant to he ir as we left'the house, went out at a arm gate at the foot of the hillside lawn, and drove through a beh of ancient and towering oaks to the illoody Angle. We struck .the ape .v at a point where the earth woi ks stand knee high. The line runs to the right as far as the eye can pee along the edge of a thick wood and to the left directly intq the depth of a mass of scrub oaks and pines. In front of us ten yard# away was a little yellowish, clay plastered house, recently built. Be yond was a field of com, and down the V-shaped clearing, at the point of which we were, could he seen at the Landrum House, a quarter of a mile away. Walking along the line of earthworks to the left, wo found little except a continuous low mound, topped by trees of re cent growth, and we were not)ft tired of the sameness of the thing. Then we returned by the same earthworks, being on ten line of an obtuse angle, and again reached the apex near Sett’s log cabin. The othe- side of the angle is much mom interesting. THE PARAPET IS HIGH. It is easy to see that the breast works, up to my chin in many places, were turned, for there are ditches on each side of the long line. The yellow, mouldering trunks of trees, rotting stumps, logs full of bullet-holes that look as though they were worm-holes, hun dred upon hundreds rusty can teens, pieces of shoe leather-, rem nants of rubber blankets, bits of cartridge boxes, and here and there a small bone are scattered every whe| along the line. Corn grows in a >art of the , space over which Hancock charged up to Ihe works; but bn the other side, whence came Lee’s assaults, is what is left of the old growth of oak, together a dense thicket of young sprung up within the last fifteen years. THE OAK FILLED BY BULLETS. These sights made me feel more forcibly than ever before that I was indeed at the heart of a battle field. J Ranted to stop at every stump to pick for bullets, forgetting that suck a precious thing as lead must have been borne away long ago. Iws of the mind to kick the dead leaves/imn every rifle pit, of which there were scores. I even searched; for the spot whence had been drawn of the red oak that was hacked down by mime balls, and j no doubt in the eagerness pf the Hour I made myself,,fth .object, of! suppressed merriment to Mr. Ashby, ’ in whom familiarly with the place had bred contempt If such were the humor of my genial guide he concealed it jvith the. grace of his family and led me pleasantly along the crest of the works, which curve to the south and come to an end at last more than a quarter ot a mile from the cabin at the apex. Half way around the horse shoe we saw an old man sitting on a log and picking blackberries, which grew thichly at his right hand. “Yes, sir” he said, in reply to a question; “they tuck mo right heah at tthis "heah spot." I was with Johnson’s brigade,- Ewel co’a, and on the mo’nin’ of the twelf of May,' sixty-foah, I had m-y ole- gun s tick in’. under this heah very log—this! un right heah.

Mb’an’ that ; wifehTmfcy die if the right woods wan’t full of ’em— chuck fill! of Yanks, and how they got behind us I do’an kn<w. But I drapped her quick and walked off to ’Washington.” tit GLORY OF THE VOLUNTMR. Here was the most perfect reali 4 zation of the glory of the volunteer, and he who stands upop this ground must perforce pay a tribute, hot to Grant, not to Handock, not to Miles, but to the man with the knapsack and the gun. When the Union Hues wavered the day be fore officers spoke of the men as cowards. The truth was that the; officers were at fault, and- the men knew it When the afteck upon this salient waa the soldiers saw that the right thing had been plann ed, and then they moved to the slaughter with faultless step and incomparable steadi A sunny, sultry day had cL-aed in a thunder storm and the ten thousand men ol Hancock’s Second Corps found the night wet and raw. When she first gray streak of dawn stretches along the sky to the east they form for the charge, and at half past four they move silently and swiftly up a slope, through thich woods, across a clearing and strike the enemy. They beyonet hundreds of Ewell’s men in the trenches and capture four thousand men, THEY GIVE AND TAKE, and for two hours wqrk with Spade and gun to hold what they have gained. Then the Sixth Corps, New Yorkers, Pennsylvanians, Green Mountain boys, ntert from Ohio, plant themselves around the angle of captured works and for twenty four hours fight fiercely in the never-ending roar. Lee has lost a point and with desperate pur pose time and again he hurls the pick of his veteran host savagely down into the tvoods. On one side of the bank ot earth float# the flag, bullet-spotted and in shreds and tatters, and on the other droop# the tofu banner of the South. -The tranches on one side afre filled with Union dead*, and on-th# other are heaps of rebel slain. Trees as thick as a man’s body are torn down in the terific storm of shot, rain falls in torrents, and thousands of mud covered fellows, with guns that al most refuse the powder, wrestle hand to hand, without rest, from sunrise until after dark. Such was the struggle at Blcody Angle; “The Slaughter-Pen” of veteran memory—an all-day edmbat of un parelleied ferocity and awful sacri fice’. LETTER FROM GhAND JU RORS. Editor Argus : In your last is sue we notice a card from Hon. J. F. Oarniichael in reference to our ar : tide published iE your issue of Ju ly the 14th in regard “Extra pay to county officers.” lii tne card al luded to he asks this question: “What did they mean by saying the present Ordinary should ihves tigate the matter? Is there any in vesiigationithat can bo had by the Ordinary except a legal investiga tion.” We repeat the. declaration that we did not intend for the Ordinary to bring suit agaipst. pur former offi cers for any money .that might have been paid to them by law or .prece dent, but desired the Ordinary to in vestigate the matter and ascertain whether such recommendations had beep made by law or prece-j dent’, and then report the matter to next grand jury Jo? action as to whether such extra payments would continue. We did not suppose that our mer pfficers v had. v : taken anything! but what was- considered^perfectlyj l\onest and legal, As oUr former Ordinary had what >ve considered! as good legal minds as there are in Middle Georgia as. advisers, we, could not feel that he had done an. intentional wrong and we were con-, fident, that his counselors .Colonel; M. Y. McKibben. and Major Hen-, drick, knew that, there was either' law or precedent sufficient to justi-! fy the action of the Ordinary paying! extra pay to officers upon the rec-l ommendation of the grand jury. * Itj appears to our mind that if suit is,, brought for recovery of funds so! paid there would be as much jus- 1 tice in bringing suit against the f grand jury who recommended it as ? the Ordinary who paid it out, and' as we have >said before tho limited; time we had for -discussion did not admit of.the deliberation that sub-f jeot demanded, the court was con-, vened at the most busy season ®f the year,, the-judge r had concluded to ad journ kjoUit* first t day and we were, se^Vud, with noticp time and again td, hpiry up’- wth ody present ments ip fetder that the court might adjourn, and we, the most of us farmers, 'being oVet, anxious to get through' and f return to ,our farms, made out. our presentments with out that deliberation so important| a matter demanded. That our former officers would be distressed by our action never enter ed onr mind, pr at least a part of us; and we defy any I *man to get a ma jority of the. frames of that grand jury signed to *n instrument of wri ting, declaring ft *dtir desire tohav* suit brought against our former offD oara. , , ‘ • If such can be done then we have no more to say. * 1 But this is dene we are not willing to stand the Stbfm of indigF nation, that the low muttering thun ders in the gathering cloud of disap - proval indicate, is going sweep over the county. Why aid’ oil* Ordinary see propel* to waHuearly tWo month# to make ahy complaint ©f our ex planation in vdur issue of July 14th; Why did he net ask"those questions about our action before he brought suit? Was the questions asked and the subject alluded to at this late date for the purpose of giving us a chance to explain more fully as to what our intentions were, or was it done to throw the blame of such suit on the grand jury? The question now is will any of the attorneys who, were the. advisers of our former officers be induced to to take the case of prosecuting them, If m did they advise them wrong oj>en Use. way for. litigation in which a big fee might be obtained? But with these th* ngs we have noth ing to do, if our Ordinary sees prop er to press the suit and our attorneys see propel to engage in it, its all right. We only want it distinctly understood that wo are not respon sible for the prosecution. An old lady writes us: ‘T atn 65 years old and was feeble and nervous all the time, when I bought a bottle of Parker’s Ginger Tonic. I have Used a little more than one bottle and feel as well as at 30, and am sure that hundreds need junt such medicine,” See advertisement. m HENRY HEINDItICK Y. A. WRIGHT HENDRICK A WRIGHT.
