Instead of a magazine, it was a mine which had thus been exploded; andthe incident was not the least singular of a campaign unlike any whichhad preceded it.

The undertaking was begun, the earth being carried off incracker-boxes; and such was the steady persistence of the workmen thata gallery five hundred feet long, with lateral openings beneath theConfederate works, was soon finished; and in these lateral recesseswas placed a large amount of powder.
