HAPULT KPKC
(Sept. 13, 1847), a
moKt brilliant and
deciaive victory in
Gen. Scott’* cam
pailgti against the
Mexican capitnl,
was the occ.aaion
of some of the
grandest deeds of
martial valor re
corded in history
The fight was pict
uresque as well as
bloody, and for
the Americans,
who won, there was glory enough ffirn life
time. Imagine an elevation of 185 feci
crowned by a castle, with wings, bastions,
parapets, redoubts and batteries of heavy
stonework over 000 feet in length. Sur
rounding this seemingly impregnable for
tress—the castle of Chapultepec—are two
stone walls, strongly built ami from 2 to
14 feet In height In the castle art* mount
ed heavy cannon under superior artillerists
of the Freach service.
At the most accessible base of the hill,
the western, the stone wall is twenty feel
high, ami behind it stands n heavy grove
of cypresses whose large trunks form ex
cellent cover for defending troops. The j
slope is planted with powder mines ready i
to lie sprung when the assailing columns
are swarming on the surface right over
them, and midway of the hill a strong re
doubt extending along an entire front of •
the castle, filled with soldiers. The posi ,
tion of Chapultepec is the key to the City
of Mexico, and with 25,000 soldier* in Santa
Anna’s army of defense there could be no
lack of men to garrison a citadel so im
portant. Besides, the hill was historic, for
here had reveled the Aztec princes in the
gardens and groves once famous, in the
Mexican city of splendor; here the site of the
famed Hall of*the Montezuma#. Whatever
remained of Mexican pride and courage
should certainly show itself on these
heights in the last stand of the hour, where
the Tate of the invader must be decided.
Chapultepec had for an outwork a group
of heavy stone buildings known as Kl Mo
lino del Key. or the King's Mill. This
place Scott had carried by storm on the 8th
of September, lifter a frightful loss, and
instead of being a key to Chapultepec, as
supposed before the assault, it was itself
dominated by the Mexican guns of the
castle, and bad to lie promptly abandoned
When the word was given out in Scott’s
cam|i* that the castle should lie stormed,
and that two parties of 250 men each would
have the post of honor in advance, the men
came forward in excess of nilmtiers, and
the choice in some companies had to Ik*
made by lot. With the appalling death
list of Molinodel Key fresh in mind the
daring soldiers, both regulars and volun
leers, were eager for the place of danger
These parties were taken from two divis
Ions that were not to lie in the assault, and
were to lie followed by the divisions of
Gens. J. A. Quitman and Gideon J. Pillow
The storming party preceding Quitman’s
division was led by Capt Silas Casey, Sec
ond infantry, with (’apt. Gabriel K. Paul
second In command. Pillow was preceded
by a party led by Capt. McKenzie, Second
artillery A second storming party was
trmde up from Quitman’s division, and
was led by Maj Twiggs, of the Marines
with Capt. Miller, of the Second Pennsyl
vauia, second in command
Gen. Pillow’s column, formed for attack
at the Molinodel lit*)’, hud the longer and
more difiirult route before it, and must
forge ahead through a grove of cypres-.es
past the midway redoubt, and up a steep
and rocky acclivity, the whole region alive
with Mexican marksmen. McKenzie's
storming party carried scaling ladders, and
were preceded by eight companies of
skirmishers, under Cols T. P Andrews
and Joseph R. Johnston Under the ex
citernent of battle the skirmishers ran far
ahead and held the lead The Mexicans uis
puled every Inch, dodging from tree to tree.
Gen. Pillow was hit at the outset and
his command fell to Gen. George Cadwnl
ailer From this point on the struggle
was n determined though not an extremely
bloody one The guns of the castle thun
clered, many shots fortunately going ovei
the mark Hocks and breastworks, shel
tering enemies whose muskets kept up an
angry fusillade, were charged and carried
and very soon the Mexicans were driven
back to their redoubt
Pillow’s skirmishers had shot down the
Mexican soldiers appointed to fire these
mines, ami over them the main columns
passed in safety, only to confront the heavy
redoubt. Here came a crisis. Annihilation
awaited the during fben should the mines
explode, and death or wounds were before
them in that well packed redoubt. Quick
work in such an hour is often better than
uumU'rs in men or missiks, ami the eriti
cal moment at Chapultepec produced its
hero Capt. Chase, of the Fifteenth infan
try, whose company was in the advance
line, dashed promptly past the right flank
of the redoubt ami was followed by a com
pnnton company and by the whole Ninth
regiment. Then the attack was joined
front and Hank, and the Mexicans, fearing
fur their safe ret reat and expecting, as they
yard* distant around the Angle from Pll
low’s men on the western wail. On this
field the Americans encountereil numerous
causeways and deep cuts prepared to im-
|iede them, and defended by infantry
posted behind shelter and by fortified batr
teries ns well. The storming parties under
Capt. Casey and Maj- Twiggs pressed on
with gallantry equal to that displayed on
1*1 How’s front. Casey was severely wound
ed and Maj. Twiggs killed at the head of
their men. But never halting, t'hestormers
went forward, cleaning out the trenches
and batteries.
Gen. James Shields, with New York and
South CarolinawolunteerM, and Col. John
W. Geary, with the Second Pennsylvania,
dashed op under a heavy fire of cannon J
halls and bullets, and mode a lodgment
under the walls on the flank of the storm i
ing party. Soon an entrance v*as made
through a breach, and a grand rally took
place preparatory to an assault on the
castle from the south, when the Mexicans
above began Jumping the works to escape
the furr of Pillow’s men, and Quitman
knew that the bloodiest work was over.
Part of his force followed the retreating
Mexicans along the roads to the city, and
the rest joined Pillow on the hill. The
united columns of Pillow und Quitman
now stormed the castle itself, where of
course all was confusion.
Some Mexican national guards and a
body of cadets belonging ton college estab
lixhed in the castle fought on with great

energy. The coduta are described by an
eyewitness as “pretty little fellows from
10 to 10 years of age,” and the same writer
idds that they struggled “like demons.’’
But it was useless; the enraged assailants
bayoneted man and boy, prisoner and
lighting man alike, and the blood flowed in
■it reams out at the passageways.
The attacks of Pillow and Quitman cov
ered the southern and western sides of the
hill; the eastern side was connected with
the city, and the northern was approached
by a division under Gen. Worth in con
junction with Pillow’s advance from west
to east. Worth was to guard Pillow’s
Hank, and his advance captured an outside
battery and opened an attack on the main
Mexican line beyond Chapultepec Castle
1 1 st at the time fhe work fell before Pillow
md Quitman. Gen. Scott mounted to the
lome of the castle and took a sweeping
view of the city that now lay liefore his
victorious battalions, and from there di
reeled his forces upon the several gates
•loomed by the full of Chapultepec to open
t4» the exultant Americans.
Of military names since made famous
Clmpultcpcc claims a remarkable roll. It
was not a grand battle—the killed and
wounded in the American army probably
reached 800—hut it was exceptionally dar
ing, and brevets and honorswere showered
on men whose work there well merited
them Grant, according to his biography,
received a brevet of captain, although Scott
made no mention of him in his report.
Ixjc fainted from a wound while on duty
and was breveted lieutenant colonel. Me
Clellan was in the engineer cor^m. The
Confederate Joseph R Johnston led the
-«klrmishe»on Pillow’s front. James Ijong-
■•t reel, also a Confederate leader, was se
verely wounded while advancing, colors in
hand. “Stonewall” Jackson was a lieu
tenant in Mngruder’a lottery in Worth’s
column. The Union general E. Y T . Sum
ner, w ho died in 1803, led a battalion of
dragoons, and {Jen. Joseph Hooker (“Fight
ing Joe”) won his third brevet in the Mexi
oun war by services on Pillow s staff. G.
1\ Beauregard, afterward a Confeierate of
high rank, was wounded there, and Earl
Van Dorn, another Confederate general,
w rved on staff duty. The Union general
C. F. Smith, who was at Donelson with
Grant, commanded one of Worth’s bat
Mi lions.
('apt. Silas Casey, afterward a Union gen
■ral, Inks Iwen mentioned, and also John
W. Geary, another Union general. Geary
was wounded, but kept the field. There
were also in the fight 1. I. Stevens, who
Ml as a Union general at Chantilly,
Va., in 1862, and Jesse R Reno, who
fell at the head bf the Ninth corps
at South Mountain, Md.; L. A. Anni
ston d, the Confederate brigadier killed in
Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg, and George
E. Pickett himself, who won a cap
tain’s brevet; J. B. Magruder, Pillow, Gus
tnvus W. Smith. Benjamin Huger and Ed
ward Johnson, all men of note in the Con
federate army. In fact, to have been with
Scott at Chapultepec was a passport to fa
vor in l>otl» the Union and Confederate
capitals when the civil war broke out, nnd
the men who won honors there in 1847
showed soldier mettle on other fields w hen
*ut to the test of daring.

clined to lielieve that the Nineteenth
century h.-ul not ahsorhetl all the won
ders of the ages. Jerusalem w-as a won
derful city, with wonderful architecture
—nothing like it in all the ages. The
reservoirs of Jerusalem were built with
cement as jterfect today as it was wlteq
the trowel laid it 1,000 years before
Christ. That dentistry had reached an
advanced stage was shown by the filling
of the teeth of the mummies at Cairo.
Solomon knew all about the circulation
of Mood. Job knew all alioiit the re-
fi action of light.
Isaiah knew that the world was round
when lie said, “The Lord is seated on the
circle of the earth." Ancient art ex-
cell'd the modern. Tyrian purple
couldn't be made now. Pliny describes
a malleable glass that one could tie
around his wrist. Tho Nineteenth cent
ury couldn’t produce a Damascus blade.

gin to wonder," said Dr. Tahnage.l..
the world hasn't furgotteu more than it

Boston's OMest House.
What is generally believed to lie the
oldest house standing i-i Boston has iteen
transferred from one estate to another
for the first time in over 200 years. The
property is known as the Wells mansion.
The sale was made by the Wells estate

This interesting relic of tlte colonial
period, now used for a store and tene
ments, bears a strong resemblance in its
style of architecture to the old Dickens
house in London. It is a two story frame
structure, very substantial and likely to
last another generation, if not torn down
to make room for a modern building.
The striking peculiarity of its exterior is
that its second story projects six inches
or more beyond the walls of the first—a
freak of construction that cannot be ac
counted for on any known ground of
