The nominee for Surveyor General is
Lieut. Col. John P. Linton, of Cambria,
county. Like Col. Davis, this aentlean is
an honest, intelligent, upright cifizeitell4 it
breve soldier, He was chosen Major of the
5.4 th iegitneni, P. V.; In 1861, and ,lieut.
Col. of thO lame regiment', in February,
1868. Ile was constantly_ in'ihe field, and
, bears upon, his, person numerofis scars as
'thstjw•Onials of his gallantry. Cot. Linton
bad the honor of leading the 54th in the
battles of Newmarket and Piedmont. And
most bravely and gallantly he led his re
giment on those disastrous fields. In both
these battles he was severely wounded, but
.although for a time coapelletelto go home
for treatment, he scarcely remained long
enough from his post to fully recover—so
wedded was ho to his regiment, his duty and
the terioue-^werk required of him. This
gentleman is well worthy of the nomination
he has received, and of the suffrages of chi
or his native gtate.
