V., July 27, 18U4. No I'utturu of ttiu aipjxo
of i'titerslitirfx lias been nioro intervNtin,
and no undcrtnkiitfr inoru iniportuiit than
the construction of tlio mine titukr tlio Ku
bel fortitlctitions. So vxtcnuive hits I icon
this work, so dillicult tltu olistruction over
come, so coinpliini'iitury its success to tlio
genius find iierseveruncc of our soldiers, tlmt
more than a pussino; notice is due to it.
Alter the investment of the city, nbout
the 20th of June hist, when our further np
proiich was disputed by the formidable
chnructer of tlio Uebcl works, our officers
lifjjiin to look nrsMit them fo'r the means of
act oinplishiiiir willi the leant possible sacri
lirc ol lite what then would have required
tue most desperate and bloody valor on tho
part of our troops viz: tlio successful as
eiittlt of these works. Tho expedient of a
mine original with LiCutenant-Colonel I'lea
Siints, ol the Koity-eii'hth I'eiinsylvnnia Ke
giuielit. Not that others did Hot think of
it; but by most of our engineers the idea
was not entertained. The distance between
our flout line and the nearest and most im
portant Kebel fort as over four hundred
yards too long to hope for sir.cess when
tlio difficulties likely to bo encountered in
the wav of quicksands, underiround marsh
es and discovery by tl.u enemy were taken
into consideration.
Colonel I'leasants, however, cherished tho
ideo. The Hebel fort loomed temptingly up
in front of his line, and, beinj' a man of con
siderable natural energy, and possessed of
much practical experience in nnnino opera
tions, and knowing that ho would bo ably
supported by his regiment, which is wholly
composed of miners of Schuylkill county,
the coal region Pennsylvania, lie, with per
mission, commenced operations. The Colo
nel had been untruged in tho mining busi
ness in his native State previous to the out
break of the liebellion.
Tito work was commenced on the Soth
of June lust, ns previously stated. Such was
the ser.ee. wi h hick it v as conducted that
for ti long time the project was unknown
even to those at whose side it was going on.
It is true that reports were in circulation of
a mine, but nobody could speak certainly of
tlio mutter. So much doubt was there, in
deed, that for a time it was disbelieved that
any such undertaking was on foot. One
soldier in the breastwork,, by whoso side a
ventilating shaft erne; ,eci, told his comrades
in the most surprised" manner that "there
was a lot of fellows under him doing some
thing ; he knew there was, for he could
lu-ai 'em talk." To guard against tnili cretion
tue part of the pickets, to prevent uny meet
ing ofour soldiers with the Itebcls whereat
tlu-secret of the mine might bo boaslingly
or imprudently disclosed, our pickets were
ordered to tire continually, lleuce the ne
verending fusilade on the front ot the Nintk
Corps, so incnmprehensib'io to the other
corps, and which was often referred to in
new .-p iper paragraphs. The enemy, doubt
less, suspected at first that the undermining
was going on, but when several weeks elaps
ed without any demonMration their suspi
cions began to vanish, especially as their
engineers must have thought the plan un
feasible. TKOOnKSS OF TIIR WORK.
The progress of tho work watt necessarily
very slow, and it was not until the 25th in
stant, just one mouth alter its inception,
that it was completed. At the out.-i t, one :
ot tho most important points was to usccr- j
tain the exact distance and bearing of the
Kebel fort. Working under ground is lite
rally v orking iu the dark. By that parti
cular process of surveying called "triangula
tioti" these were arrived at. To be explicit :
Distances were laid off upon the ground be
hind our works. From these lines as a bases
and with the angles formed by lines extend- j
ing in the direction of the fort, a simple -geometrical
problem was formed, the soitt-
lion of which gave tue required distance. 1
Five different triangubitions gave a result of J
live hundred and ten feet. Tlio excavation j
was commenced in the side of the hill where- !
on our exterior line of works runs. The ,
tunnel, or, to use technical term, "gallery,''
is about four and a half feet high, nearly as )
many feel wide at the bottom, and two feet j
high, nearly as many feet wide, at tlio lop. i
Tiie usuiil army pick was not suited to i
the work, as its ilukcs were too broad to '
permit their awiuging iu tho tunnel. This I
difficulty was easily overcome by filling i
down the Ilukcs to tho si.o of the regular!
mining pick. Water was met with nut far '
Iroui tlie entrance, and for a time gave no J
little trouble. The floor, liowexer, was j
plunked and the aides and ceiling shoved up. i
A tpiick-siiud was met with, and to obviate
it, lliu lungu of the tunnel was curved up-
nurd, o l hut the lulter huif Mas several teet j
higher than at the tutruiice, The oozing (
of tlio water formed mud in aevi ral pluccs,
ao thut the regiuietil tame from (heir daily
labor bemtltieu und alaiued. Ill fact, it
was easy iluiiug the past month to recognize
a Forty tig hlh until b) lu ictnldy boots.
Tho earth, as fast us excuvuted, was con
veyed in hand barrow uiadu of cracker
boxes or hull' barrels, to the mouth, where
il was emptied luto hug, which wete ulier
wurds ued ou lliu lop ul the brcual works.

vcrgctl into two galleries, each running, as
near as can be ascertained, under each side.
It was the intention to make the mine con
sist of eight magazines, placed at intervals
along these brunch galleries, so that tho cn
length of the fort milit be blown up, in
place of one spot. Preliminary experiments
weru made by Colonel Pleasants with
cartridges of powder which he inserted in
the earth and ignited by a fuse. Ho as
certained that the work of making A breach
would bo more etl'ectnally secured by dis
tributing tho powder instead of putting it
in bulk. In the latter case tho explosion
resulted m a deep and broad crater, in the
former in a wide chasm. Where tho car
tridges his miniature magazines, were not
disconnected by packing, the tendency of
the explosion was to tind vent at tho first
hole. Hence he resorted to packing between
the magazines, or, as it is technically known,
"tamping."' .
Tho magazines arc eight in number, four
in each branch gallery. In some cases they
are built in niches, and again right across
tho tunnel. They nre two bv two, and the
explosion will result in four craters, tangent
to or inseetitig each other.
TUB TCIJR3.
The explosion of the magazines will bo
effected through tubes of pine wood six
inches square, halt tilled with powder.
These run along the bottom of tho tunnel
ond enter the ina'azino through openings
mado for them, lletwecn each pair of maga
zines and over the tubing is tlio "tampiug"
ot sand bags and logs.
THE Kl'SES.
The tubes only extend one hundred feet
from the mine, thence they aro connected
with the mouth of the tunnel by fuses tho
regular "sure lire" coal mining fuses ot
Pennsylvania being procured specially for
the purpose.
CHAitOINO THE MINK
The mine was charged to-day. The
quantity of powder used was six tons!
Pause and think ot it. Six tons! twelve
thousand pounds! Imagine eight dry goods
boxes (tho magazines resemble them in
size and shape) tilled with powder, und you
will have an idea ot tho mine. What a "ter
rific spectacle is in store for us.
HrsuninM ol'i'ol. .Mulligan.
From the Wheeling Intelligencer, tlUth ult.
The remains ot the gallant Col. .Mulligan,
the hero of Lexington, .Missouri, and of many
a sharp and dangerous encounter in West
Virginia, arrived at Cumberland yesterday.
Ho tell at Winchester on the ill-fated 2."lh,
at the time of the rout ofour troops, having
been woundud, as we understand, tw ice utter
he fell, and while ho was being homo away,
Ono ot tiie interesting incidents connected
with his death is tho devoted heroism evin
ced by his noble w ife. Hearing of his pro
bable fate last Tuesday, she ut onco left
Cumberland in a Government ambulance in
search of him, turning a deaf ear ff) all sug
gestions made to her as to the risks she ran,
und knowing and caring tor nothing else
but the fate of her gallant husband. She
travelled day nnd night more than a hun
dred miles, went througJi the enemy's lines,
and pursued her inquiries until she traced
up the spot w here her husbuud was lying,
ami w here, sad to tell, ho hud died only a
few hours before her arrival.
Procuring u collin she brought back the
remains as lar us Hancock in the ambulance
ami there tukiug the cars arrived w ith tiiem
yesterday in Cumberland. Such a woman
worthy to have been the Wife of gallant a
boldier as Col. Mulligan. Those who have
Been her w ill not be surprised ut this heroic
attestation of her high womanhood. Site is
a very unusual woman, and as such gave
strength und character to tho L'uiou cause
at Cumberland.
Col. Mulligan, ns all our readers may
know, was from Chicago, and commanded
the twenty-third (Irish) Illinois ltegiment.
He hud been once ollcrcda Brigadier Gener
alship, after tho battle of Lexington, but re
tused it under tho circumstances, preferring
to enlist a special regiment of his own, und
fehare its fortunes in the service. His wife
will leave Cumlierlaud this morning with
the remains, und wo presume will cross the
river ut Hciiwood. General Kellcy, in a
despatch vestciduy to Governor Horenian,
paid the following handsome tribute to the
lullen soldier:
The remains of the gallant Col. Mulligan
arrived here this morning from Winchester,
Vu., where ho fell ou the '.'ith inst., his de
voted wife having passed through the lines
on Tuesday, reaching Winchester a few hours
alter ho had breathed his last. She return
ed this morning with the remains, und will
proceed to Chicago to-morrsw morning.
ily the (.lentil of Colonel Mulligan, West
Virginia has lost u w arm und devoted friend
and the country uu able and gallant defender.
I uni happy to inform you that Mrs. Mulligan
w as treated by General Larly and his olliecrs
with marked courtesy and great kindness,
receiving prompt and efficient usistauce to

ot our ackuow ledging the southern Confede
racy ? Should we disband our forces, aiid re

a foreign nation across the Ohio and on the
the other side of tho Potomac Not at all,
but we should be forced from our own se
curity to maintain, not for one or lor three
years, but for all time, a standing army, to
oppose the warlike South. We should have
to maintain permanently the vast military
establishment which now burdens us so
heavily. We sthould have to become mili
tary people, and our best blood and energies
would be wasted it not in tho war, yet in
those preperutious for tho war, those im
mense levies of troops, those costly arma
ments, under which we hear the poor over
ridden people of Europe groan. Is any
American anxious to such a slate of things
obtain here t Then let him oppose the dnilt,
discourage enlistments, and vote for Yulluu

consummation would only be the commence

to make an end of tho war ut once; and to
do this the people must not rely upon tho
Government, but upon themselves. If they
wait for a dial't they waste strength, and,
perhaps, lose opportunities not to bo re

lough of twenty or thirty days in order to
visit his wife ami tvvius, boys, recently boau

through tho War Department, from which
place it w as referred to the Adjutant-General's
office, then to the Medical Director's
Department, where it wus reported that he
had been transferred to this city. The do
cument was then sent buck to tho Military
Commander ut Washington, from thence to
the Adjutant-General's office, and then to
General Couch, in this Department. The
Medical Director in this Department finally
referred the matter to tho surgeon in charge
of the hospital iu which the patient was
confined, who immediately granted tho ap
plicant the furlough. This report has to go
back through tho same chanuel to tbe War
Department.

guns, and gun-carriages, dead and wounded

buried alive nt the depth perhaps of twenty

Those on the surface were tound iu every

merely stunned and slightly wounded, others
unrecognizable lumps of tlesh and dirt; some
with their head proiruding from the ruins,
others w ilh their heels marking their un

entering in

conversing as tho train drew tip at a way

a young lady and gentleman, evidently u'

JSeing a great admirer of female, we
stoiu a glance at the young lady; and were

exclaimeel: "Strangers, mo anil this voting

Tulsmno our Frcjt. It is not too iau
; yet to draw attention to the absolute ne
cessity of thinr.ing out trees heavily laden
' with fruit. It is true the operation can be
' perl'oro.i.d ualy npua iiir -i .n 'hi t arj lot
i over large. Bi t, it should be especially at-
i tended to iu young trees, which frequently
; over-bear, ;o the great injury oftliehealta
I of the trees, as well as tho quality of the
f fruit. To obtain the finest specimens of
i pears, they ihould not bo allowed to grow
i in clusters or in contact with each other,
; utid all that exhibit the least imperfection
should be removed. What is lost in number
: will be doubtly made up in size and flavor,
i This should be remembered. Many persons
'regard the thinning out of pears and ap
I pics as so much lo:s; but they are not
I judges of fruit, ami huvo no know ledge of
its proper culture, i hey want as hit ge a
crop us possible, letting the quality tuko
cure of itself.
Ou some of our own pear trees we have
removed three-fourths of the entire crop,
and are rather apprehensive thut too many
are still allowed to remain.
In regird to the pear crop, generally, the
jield will not be very large not nearly so
large . as we anticipated two months ng..
We tind this to be the caie cisewheie. Utr
