GeNeRaL Horace Porter, in his article on “Cam- paigning with Grant,” in the May Century, tells an amusing story of the explosion of the Petersburg mine. It seems that a prisoner who had been dug out of the crater was carried to one of the field hospitals. Although his eyes were bunged and his face covered with bruises, he was ina very amiable frame of mind. ‘ After this,” he said, ‘*1 will be the most unpopular man in my regi- ment.
