The first thing of interest at I'ETEUSIiriiO, VA., is tho "Battle of the Crater" (July UOlh, 1861) The mine of powder, of which so much is expected, is ex ploded and throws the earthwork, men, guns and accoutrements in the air to fall back a shapeless mass into the yawning abyss opened by tin lorce oi mo explosion, luo mine has done its part well, and a storm ing column uow advances to pr.'ss through to Petersbuig iu the con fusioVensuing in tho Confederate lino. J)ut no ! there are men in that lino J they rally ! Officers m e hurry, iug Co and fro steadying the line aud giving orders. The war dogs Are DOW loosed and shot and shell rai&Atpon the line, amid thunders thuiSiake the stoutest heart quake ; rtb storming column is upon them a color bearer rushes upon the di ft-nses, but falls mortally wounded; e is quickly taken and the r.Q' 1 'i' ! lo band cm Ten i .itu blows fast un I furious mil j dying on every side. How courageously, how liercly they light I But the defenders are men of unex celled courage iiTid endurance- vet erans of Lee. The storming column is repulsed with great slaughter ; t lie survivors arc driven back to the shi'lter of their works ; the mine has failed of its purpose : Lee holds his ground and all is again quiet, save from the moans of the wounded and the occasional "crack"' of the sharp shooters' rille. Lee and his army must bo worn out starved out; they cannot bo overcome otherwise. A pleasant voice near us brings our thoughts back from tho pastand we mentally exclaim: "How time llies and what wonders he performs ! "Instead of a city torn and rent by shot and shell, surrounded by thousands of armed men engaged iu leadly strife, the physical eye be holds a happy, prosperous city w hen? thousands contend as earnestly for supremacy in commerce mul man ufacture as did the martial hosts for victory at arms.

Right near tho crater lives Timothy Griffiths who owns tho land where the explosion occurred During tho war, his father, who was then tho owner, was compelled to lloo for safety.
