T1 Inv llrfore the :Hy Jenrrnl
Wmbrrton's Scheme to I'scnpe
Tho following extracts are taken from
General Grant's account of tho siego o!
Vicksburg, published In tho Ventyy.
PcscribinR tho beginning of the siego
tho general writes:
"We had no siege guns except six
thirty-two pounders, and there were
none" at the West to draw from. Admiral
Porter, however, supplied us with a
battery of navy guns of large caliber, and
with these, and the field artillery used in
the campaign, tho siege began. The
first thing to do was to get tho artillery
in batteries where they would occupy
commanding positions; then, to establish
the camps, under cover from tho fire of
the enemy, but as near up as possible;
and then to construct riflc'pits and cov
ered ways, to connect tho entire com
mand by the shortest route. The enemy
did not harass us much while we were
constructing our batteries. . Probably
their artillery ammuuition was short, and
their infantry was kept down by our
sharpshooters, who were always on the
alert and ready to fire at a head when
ever it showed itself above tho rebel
works.
"In no place were our lines more than
nix hundred yards from the enemy. It
was necessary, therefore, to cover our
men by something more than the ordinary
parapet. To give additional protection,
sand-bags, bullet-proof, were placed
along the tops of the parapets, far enough
apart to make loopholes for musketry.
On top of these, logs were put. By these
means tho men were enabled to walk
about erect when off duty, without fear
of annoyance from sharpshooters. The
enemy used in their defence explosive
musket-balls, thinkinc, no doubt, that,
bursting over our men in tho trenches,
they would do somo execution. I do not
remember a single case where a man was
injured by a picse of one of theso shells.
AY hen they were hit, and tne ball ex
ploded, the wound was terrible. In these
cases a solid ball would have hit as well.
Their use is barbarous, because they pro
duce increased suffering without any
corresponding advantage to those using
them.
"The enemy could not resort to our
method to protect their men, because we
had an Inexhaustible supply of ammu
nition to draw upon, and used it freely.
Splinters from the timber would have
made havoc anion 2 the men behind.
"There were no mortars with the be
siegers, except those that the navy had
in front of tho city; but wooden ones
were made by taking logs of the toughest
wood that could bo found, boring them
out for six or twelve pounder shells, and
bindinsr them with strong iron bands.
These answered as coehorns, and shells
were successfully thrown from them into
the trenches of the enemy.
"The labor of building tho batteries
and of intrenching was largely done by
the pioneers, assisted by negroes who
came within our lines and who were paid
for their work; but details from the line
had often to be made. Tho work was
pushed forward as rapidly as possible,
and when an advanced position was se
cured and covered from the fire of the
enemy, the batteries were advanced. By
the 80th of June there were two hundred
and twenty guns in position, mostly light
field -pieces, beside a battery of heavy
guns belonging to, and manned and
commanded by, the navy. We were now
as strong for defense against the garrison
of Vicksburg as they were against us;
but I knew that Johnson was in our rear,
and was receiving constant re-enforcements
from the Last. He had at this
time a larger force than I had had at any
time prior to the battle of Champion
Hill."
Writing about the explosion of mines
before the beleaguered city, General
Grant says:
"From the 23d of May tho work of
fortifying, and pushing forward our
position nearer to the enemy, had been
ateadily progressing. At the point on
the ,Tac:kson road in front of Ransom's
brigade a sap was run up to the enemy's
parapet, and by the 25th of June we had
it undermined and the mine charged.
The enemy had countermined, but did
not succeed in reaching our mine. At this
particular point tho hill on which stood
the rebel work rises abruptly. Our sap
ran close up to tho outside of the ene
my's parapet. In fact this parapet was
also our protection. The soldiers of the
two sides occasionally conversed pleas
antly across this barrier; sometimes they
would exchange the hard bread of the
Union soldiers for tho tobacco of the
Confederates, and at other times they
threw over hand-grenades, the rebels
throwing them first, and our men often
catching them in their hands and return
ing them.
"Our mine had been started some dis
tance back down the hill; consequently,
when it had extended as far as the para
pet, it was many feet below it. This
caused the failure of the enemy in his
search to find and destroy it. On the
25th of June, at 3 o'clock, all being
ready, the mine was exploded. A heavy
artillery fire all along the line had been
ordered to open withtbo explosion. The
effect was to blow the top of tho hill
off and make a crater where it stood.
The breach was not sufficient to enable
us ti pass a column of attack through.
In fact, the enemy, having failed to
reach our mine, had thrown up a line
farther back, where most of the men
guarding that point were placed. There,
were a few men, however, left
at the advance line, and others
were working in the counter
mine, which was still being pushed to
find ours. All that weie there were
thrown into the air, soinejof them coming
down on our side, still alive. 1 remem
ber one colored man, who, having been
under ground at work when the explo
sion took place, was thrown to our side.
He was not much hurt, but terrib'y
frightened. Home one asked him how
high he had gone up. "Dun no, massa,
but t'ink 'bout t'ree mile," was his reply.
General Logan commanded at this point,
und took this colored man to his quar
ters, where ho did service to the end of
the siecre.
"As soon as tho explosions took place
the crater was scicd by two regiments
of our troops who were near by, under
rover, where they hud been placed for
the express purpose. The enemy made a
desperate elf on to expel them, Lut
failed, and soon retired behind his new
line. From here, however, they thr8W
hand grenades, which did somo execu
tion. The compliment was returned by
our men, but not witn so mucu ruui u.
The enemy could lay their grenades on
the paranet, which alnno divided the
contestants, and roll them down upon
us; while from our side they had to bo
thrown over tho parapet, which was at
considerable elevation. During tho
night we made efforts to secure our posi
tion in tho crater against tho missiles of
tho enemy, so as to run trenches nlong
the outer base of their parapet, right
and left; but tho enemy continued
throwing their grenades, and brought
boxes of field ammunition (shells),
tho fuses of which they would
light with port-fires, and throw them by
hand into our ranks. Wo found it im
possible tocontinue this work. Another
mine was consequently started, which
wan einloded on the 1st of July, destroy
ing an entire redan, killing and wounding
a considerable number of its occupants,
and leaving an immense chasm where it
stood. lS"o attempt to charge was made
this time, tho experience of the 2.th ad
monishing us. Our loss in tho first af-
- ... .... . .
fair was about thirty killed and wounaea.
The enemy ltust have lost more in the
two explosions than we did in the first.
We lost none in tne second."
Referring to General Tembcrton s
scheme to escape from Vicksburg, Grant
writes:
"About this time an intercepted dis
patch from Johnston to Pembcrton in
formed mo that Johnston intended to
make a determined attack upon us, in
order to relieve the garrison of Vicks
burg. I knew the garrison would make
no formidable etlort to relieve nsoii. 1 no
picket lines were so close to each other
where there was space enough be
tween the lines to pest pickets that tho
men could converse. On the 21st of
June I was informed, through this
means, that Pembcrton was preparing to
escnne bv crossing to tho Louisiana sido
under cover of nignt; mat no naa em
ployed workmen in making boats
for that purpose; that the
men had been canvassed to
ascertain if they would make an
assault on the "Yankees" to cut their
way out; that they had refused, and had
almost mutinied because their com
mander would not surrender and relieve
their sufferings, and had only been paci
fied by tho assurance that boats enough
would be finished in a week to carry
them all over. The rebel pickets also
said that houses in tho city had been
pulled down to get material to build
these boats with. Afterward this story
was verified. On entering the city we
found a largo number of vary rudely
constructed boats.
"All necessary steps were at once taken
to render such an attempt abortive. Our
pickets were doubled; Admiral Porter
was informed, so that the river might bo
more closely watched ; material was col
lected on the west bank of the river with
which to light it up if tho attempt was
made; and batteries were established
along the levee crossing the peninsula on
the Louisiana Bide. Had the attempt
been made, the garrison of Vicksburg
would have been drowned, or made
prisoners on the Louisiana side. General
Richard Taylor was expected on the west
bank to cooperate in this movement, I
believe; but he did not como, nor could
he have done so with a force sufficient to
be of service."

Cupplus and Leeching.
"I commenced the practice of cupping
and leeching for the cure of many of
the ills that man is heir to some sixty
years ago," said Mrs. Harriet O'Connor,
an octogenarian who resides, still hale
and hearty.on Fifth street, below South.
"When I started practising in this city
there were about three hundred persons
engaged in the business, and many a
struggling artist earned his first dollar
in naintinz tho fancy signs which
adorned the window sills or hung pro
jecting from the front of the office of
the leecher. The practice has declined
within the past faw years, and at Jprcs
ent there are but twelve persons in the
whole city following the profession for a
livelihood."
The leeches used now are brought from
Sweden and Norway, although those
found in the pine districts of New .Ter
sey are much more preferable. Foreign
leeches will take from three to five times
their weight in blood, six being generally
applied for every fluid ounce of blood to
be drawn. When leecbes are tcarce tney
are utilized several times before bcinj!
thrown away, and to compel them to dis
gorge, salt is thrown upon them or thev
are squeezed with the fingers, great care
being taken not to crush them. They
are imported into this country by a firm
whose oilice is in Maiden Lane, New
York, who collect orders from its cus
tomers, and make but one general im
portation, receiving fully 2,000,000
leeches per year. I he average price is
about fii per thousand, and the cost price
and freight are about ) 2. The profit is
simply enormous. The leeches are packed
in moss and shipped in air-tight wooden
buckets, and must be kept in a cool, darK
place. Attempts have been mado to
breed the foreign leech, but with no sue
cess. Barbers some thirty years ago were
not considered proficient in their trade
if not possessed of a knowledge of cup
ping, leeching and bleeding. Philadd

DUELING AMONG STUDENTS.
TOTJTHFTTL COMBATANTS AT

nhlrh Tin l.lrra nil Lout, but
B'r nnht Silvon.
An American student at Gottlngrn,
Germany, writes tho following account
of a recent student duel:
"A fight was just about to begin.
The combatants, surrounded by seconds,
umpires and friends, had already taken
their places on the floor. Their breasts
and thighs were protected by thick pads,
on which tho black blood of former en
counters had gathered for vmtm past.
Tho veins of tho neck were guarded by
winding around it a heavy scarf. Iron
goggles, with platc-glnss windows, con
cealed tho eyes, and tho arms wero also
covered with wadding. Tho swords
wero long and narrow, without points.
One of the pair of warriors, a member of
the blue-cap corps, was a pale, slender,
good-looking youth, lie never spoko a
word or tooK his eyes off his ndversary.
Tho latter, ono of tho red-caps, was a
big, burly fellow, whom tho pads seemed
to greatly oppress. Perhaps ho was
frightened; I don't blame him.
"The surgeon steppod back, looking
like a butcher, in his long white apron,
spotted with blood. There had been
another duel before wo enme. Tho timo
keepcr took his place at a little tablo.
Tho seconds jumped into position, each
at tho left sido of his man, after po
lite bows to each other in true German
fashion. The fifty or sixty corns stu
dents who were sitting at little tables
around the room eating breakfast and
drinking rose to see the fight. All was
solemnity, and the silcuco was only
broken by some dignified fellow's call
ing to an acquaintance clear across the
floor and drinking his health, at the
same time bowing profoundly and
lifting his cap. There wero a few sharp
words of command repeated by one sec
ond after tho other, something liko
Make ready 1 Go!' and in an instant
all one could sco was tho flasning of
swords and tho flying of sparks, and all
ono could hear was the regular 'whack,
whack,' of the blows. There seemed to
be only one kind of stroke, and each
met the other half-way. 'Haiti' cries
the fat fellow, and the seconds run up
to sec where he is cut; but it was n
false alarm. They rub him a little and
let him sweat a moment, then at it again.
Dodging with tho head or moving the
feet or body is not allowed, the left arm
must bo kcDt behind the back. 'Whack!
whackl whack 1' as before, but aho a
clear swish! and tho next moment the
blood is running from a clean, perpen
dicular gash in .the big fellow's left
cheek.
"About this time I wondered how the
hotel woman could stand it, for she had
been carrviug meat and drink from table
to table all the time. I also had occasion
to see a man who had for two seasons
been punished behind tho bat on the
Fnnceton base ball nine, and wno bad
risked his life in one or two Thanksgiv
ing day football games, walk with un
certain 6tep to the window for a breath
of fresh air. It isn't pleasant to see a
man's check laid open deliberately. The
next round proved even more disastrous
for the plump red-cap, for he received an
ugly gash above the eye, which will go
with him as long as the eve itself. Next
time his chin suffered, and then his nose.
He was out of breath and looked miser
able. I went to the window and looked
at tho clear blue sky and the golden
fields, and wondered why human society
must so torturo itself with useless and
cruel conventionalities. But the fascina
tion of the raining blows called mo back
to the next round. A hum of interest
ran along the gallery irons when trie
cool little fellow was seen to get by far
the heaviest blow of the fight across his
brow, which was soon covered with
blood.
"They took off the goggles and the
blood ran into his eyes. Then they
mopped it up and he was ready again.
and in tne next round gave nis opponent
another gash on the left temple. It
seemed to me about time to call a halt
for good, and presently they did. Under
the rules a bght lasts fifteen minutes of
actual fencing, pauses not counted
With pauses reckoned in, this must have
lasted about forty minutes. The glad
iators carried their bloody heads into
another room to receive the doctor's at
tention, and preparations began for
another duel. I asked a student if either
of our bloody friends had fought before,
and he said laconically: "The little fel
low -has fought nine this term."
Cannibalism Among; Rata.
Mr. W. Matthew "Williams believes
that rats are, upon occasion, voracious
cannibals, devouring one another by
wholesale and without mercy. Keing
troubled beyond endurance by these
pests, and getting no relief from dogs,
ferrets, and cats, and fearing poison, ho
tried tho effects of sturting the holes
with brokea glass. "This was success
ful and some curious results accompanied
tho clearance. At first, there were
streaks of blood on tho kitchen-floor in
considerable quantity, and distributed
over it. These appeared on several
mornings. At about the same time, and
subsequently, much scampering and
screaming was heard beneath. This
was followed by a rapid reduction, of the
number of tlie enemy. Jly theory, says
Mr. Williams, "is, tnat when any one
ra was wounded by tho glass, the scent
of blood excited the voracity of the
othcrs,and a cannibal struggle occurred;
that this continued till extirpation
followed tho more fighting, the more
bloodshed and the more cannibalism."
Mr. F. II. Halfpenny partly confirms
this view in "Science Gossip," where he
says that the black tat is still to be met
with at most of the London docks; that
the Norway or sewer rut not only kills
its victim, but devours it. Ho describes
skins of freshly killed black rats turned
inside out,und found in various drawers,
boxes, etc., and states that this treat
ment of their victim is usual with rats.
As an experiment. Mr. Halfpenny gave
the carcass of a white rat to one of the
black and white variety. It was eaten,
only a few bones of tho head remainin
attached to tho everted skin. Popular

International Exhibition.
Under the patronage of Queen Vic
toria and tho presidency of tho Prince of
M ales a prospectus has been issued for a
world's fair at Liverpool, to be opened
in May, 1S80, and to continue during
tho summer and autumn months. Tho
exhibition is intended to illustrate the
history and development of traveling by
land, sea and air. There will also bo
shown, as allied to this subject, exhibits
representative of the manufacture and
commerce of tho world, which owe so
much to the achievements of modern sci
ence in creating and perfecting tho
means and methods of movement from
place to place. Thus the project will
includo a collection of models of ves
sels, ancient and modern, illustrations
of the modes nnd material of their
construction, their engineering and
other appliancess, boats of every decrip
tion, docks, harbors, lighthouses, life
saving apparatus and all other matters
connected with traveling by water.
In tho department of land traveling
there will bo exhibited chariots, coaches
and carriages of all countries nnd all
times; the history of s team as a motive
power will be fully illustrated, and there
will bo shone models, examples nnd
technical appliances, English and foreign,
for tho conveyance of travelers and
goods.
In the commercial and manufacturing
sections will be exhibited specimens of
processes and products illustrating tho
growth and development 01 repre
sentntive industries.
The site chosen, adjoining Wavcrtrec
Tark, thirty-five acres in extent, has been
lent by tho corporation of Liverpool. It
is conveniently situated for affording
ready means of access to visitors by rail,
and possesses special facilities for tho
delivery of materials and exhibits. Hero
a building will bo at onco erected of a
substantial character.
