THE HERO OF 6ETTYSBUB&
COL. FORNEY'S REASONS FOR SUPPORT
ING HIM.
A Graphic Description of Gen. Hancock's
Service te His State and Country by
a Republican who is Going te Vete
for Him and Tells Why All
PenmylTanlans Should.
An Enduring Debt of Gratitude.
Cel. Jno. W. Ferney in Progress.
Concluded.
Calumny of any kind en Gen. Hancock
is a bad crutch te help the ambition of
weak men. It is the last resort of imbecile
partisanship, and will have no mere effect
than if it were employed te scandalize the
dead President Jehnsen or the dead Secre
tary Stanten. It is like the attempt te say
that his nomination is his surrender te the
Seuth he conquered, which would be like
saying that when a great soldier receives
the highest honors from these he had taken
prisoners in battle he has become their
prisoner in turn. Considering that we Re
publicans have been trying te get the
Seuth te support our candidates for the
last fifteen years this logic is very lame
indeed.
Gen. Hancock is the favorite son of
Pennsylvania, and comes before the people
of his native state with an exceptional
record. He is the candidate of a party
with a whole people at his back. Bis
fifty-seven years are clouded by no politi
cal animosity or defeat. Ne man has
gathered mere friends around his example.
At his home in Montgomery county fac
tion and even Republican criticism ground
arms before the even tenor of bis youthful
record and the stainless pages of his later
years, and another soldier of great fame, a
Republican, native of the same shire, adds :
" We must concede Hancock Montgomery
county by a great majority at once." At
the last election of the Leyal Legien in
Philadelphia he was chosen its president
by acclamation, and, as I write, letters,
pour in upon me from all points of the
compass in this proud common
wealth. He is the unconscious
ideal of a host of ardent expecta
tions. It is a just yet dangerous conces
sion that no one questions and all applaud
his courage ; dangerous because such jus
tice conquers thousands who held courage
a Godlike virtue. It is an eloquent fact
that all men should speak of Hancock's
moderation, for moderation convinces mere
than courage. But here is a favorite son,
who has done mere things than either
Buchanan or McClellan. The first
was a ripe statesman, the second a
censumate soldier ; and conceding te each
all that is claimed by his friends, neither
was se fortunate as Hancock. Read his
own narrative of the battle of Gettysburg
which I copy from the report of the com
mittee en the conduct of the war, pp. 403
408, taken from his examination at
Washington, March 22d, 1804. Plain, un
affected, and, above all, honest and imper
sonal, it reads like a great epic in which
the exploits of the Greek heroes were de
scribed by Hemer in the Iliad or the
Odyssey, or the JEneid of the Latin of
Virgil. Te these who have passed through
the horrors of these three days' carnage,
or who suffered the tortures of suspense
during these fearful conflicts this unadorn
ed and modest recital of General Han
cock's reads like a mystic dream. The
cannonade of that serried column, the hor
rid slaughter of the combatants, and the
frenzy of the hand-te-hand conflict, en
listed a thousand pens as they wrung mil
lions of hearts ; but no part of the drama
is mere startling than the serene compo
sure of Hancock as he was borne bleeding
Irem the held, coely dictating his dispatch
te Meade, directing the future operations
of the still doubtful day. We read of the
dying knight proffering water te the
wounded soldier at his side, or of the
bleeding commander moving his ship
full upon the broadside of his adversary ;
but a stricken general who did net knew
if he had been wounded te death, direc
ting the operations of a still fighting army,
reads like the exploits of the gods of my
thology, and defies the sober prose of hu
man language. Hew wonderfully similar
the contrast between such serene equa
nimity and the frantic agony of the hun
dreds of thousands in Philadelphia during
these days of battle, impatient te hear,
yet fearful that the next news would be
the deem of their city, the sacrifice of
their loved ones, and the certain sack of
their homes !
It is well te freshen such a memory. Te
leave it te die would be like striking Cal
vary from the Scriptures. It is well that
we should be taught hew much our liber
ty cost, net alone te win but te save. Hew
blasphemous te profane such memories
with the shallow bigotry of the Pharisees,
or the wicked hatred of the partisan.
Gratitude, next te Ged, is the highest
type of divine justification. It ennobles
men but it glorifies nations. In this case
it, also secures and seals the reconciliation
of the sections. Philadelphia was- saved
from the invader by Hancock and his
comrades inarms, and it is right that the
altar of eternal honor te the surviving
leader of the victorious host should be set
up in her midst. Such an altar in such a
temple becomes at the same time the sym
bol of popular gratitude, and of the eter
nal peace and forgiveness of a restored peo
ple. I am only one of the army of Republi
cans who will vote for General Hancock
for these reasons : Only one of many of
the eldest Republicans in this city, who
call upon me te say that they would be
ashamed of themselves if, after all their
words of praise and thanksgiving for the
salvation of Philadelphia from fire and
rebel contributions iu 1863, they should
new vote against the man who did the
most of the work. General Garfield is a
geed man, but we ewe him nothing com
pared te the debt te Hancock. When
told that te vote for Hancock is te vote
for a Democrat, I reply that the partition
between the two parties is very thin. The
only point en which we may be said te
differ is protection, and that cannot be a
very strong one when Hancock comes
from the great tariff county of Montgom
ery, Pennsylvania, and all his friends are
open advocates of protection, while Gar
field was elected a member of the Cobden
club in Londen, the great free trade head
quarters in England, because of his rather
bold sympathies with, the Western enemies
of Pennsylvania interests. If the iron
men of Pennsylvania want te knew any
mere about Garfield's free trade ideas,
they ought te read ever Judge Kelly's
exposure of the Republican candidate for
president a few years age. The Republi
can and Democratic parties in this country
are tee close te each ether en ail questions,
and tee much interested in national peace
and prosperity, te make the election of
Hancock or Garfield a matter of the
gravest consequence in point of fact.
Only for myself and for many ethers I
prefer Hancock, because of his great work
at Gettysburg, and because, if he is suc
cessful, there will be an end of that rule
in Pennsylvania which has subordinated
all our Republican ideas and dnties te the
interests of a few tyrannical politicians.
But there is one view of Gen. Hancock's
future that I have left te the last. He will
restore peace and prosperity te the Seuth.
I think Grant would have done it better,
but the friends of General Garfield would
net allow him te try it. Yeu answer that
this is te remit the colored people te their
cruel masters. I rejoin that these mas
ters could net treat the colored man much
worse than the Northern Republicans de in
the distribution of party favors. Here
away they use the colored voters te elect
the worst white material te our state
legislatures but they never think
of sending a cultivated negre, and
I could name fifty fit te sit in Congress
even, te that choice menagerie of wild
beasts and birds of evil omen. The bloody
shirt, by Hancock's election, will be
washed out, dried, ironed, and put away
as a relic of a bad era. We new set Jehn
Brown, Dixie, My Maryland, and the Bennie
Blue Flag, in one great union overture te
the opera of international harmony.
Northern success in business is the great
example. It is a better schoolmaster than
the crafty carpet-bacger. The Tennessee
jubilee singers have been better mission
aries all ever Europe and America than all
the Republican campaign clubs between
the White mountains and the Pedee.
There is immense medicine te party disease
in human charity. When the south takes
Hancock after he chastised them, they give
themselves as hostages of fidelity. They wiH
net find him a soft and easy Damocles te
preach platitude and obey arrogance. He
is one of your men sharpened into shrewd
ness by the common sense of a great expe
rience. As he will give them much lee
way, he will insist en much loyalty. I
knew these Southerners well. -Cruel in
anger, brave in battle, relentless in re
venge, they are also as full of honor as they
are of life, if they are net kicked when
they are down. Observe, we made them
our equal partners after we forgave them ;
and we can no mere try te clip their wings
te make them less free than we can restore
the broken fetters of the slave laid deep
under the ocean of emancipation. Soen the
Seuth will be en a new trial, and as Han
cock Mill be elected by the votes of many
thousand Republicans like myself, the
Seuth will have no mere interest in bad
faith than he will have inclination te per
mit it.
Hancock's Own Story of Gettysburg Before
the Committee en the Conduct or tne
War, Washington, March 22d, 1864.
Testimony of Majer-General W. S. Hancock.
(Thursday, July 2d, 1863.)
I seen received an order, dated 1:10 p.
m., directing me te proceed te the front,
and in the event of the death of General
Reynolds, or his inability te command, te
assume the command of all the tioeps
there, consisting of the 1st, 3d, and 11th
corps. (Order appended marked A.) I
started a little before half past one, turn
ing evct the command of my corps te Gen.
Gibbens, under Gen. Meade's directions.
Gen. Gibbens was net the next in rank in
that corps ; but he was the one General
Meade directed should assume the com
mand, as he considered him the most suit
able person for it.
Several such instances occurred during
that battle. General Meade, prier te the
battle, showed me or told me of a letter he
had received from the Secretary of War en
this subject. The government recogniz
ing the difficulty of the situation,believing
that a battle was imminent, and might occur
in one. two r three days and net knowing
the views of General Meade in relation te
his commanders, the secretary of war
wrote him a note, authorizing him te
make any changes in his army that he
pleased, and that he would be sustained
by the President and himself. That did
net make it legal, because it was contrary
te the law te place a junior officer ever a
senior. At the same time it was one of
these emergencies in which General Meade
was authorized, as before stated, te exer
cise that power. I was net the senior of
either General Heward, of the 11th corps,
or ucneral sickles, of the 3d corps. My
commission bore date en the same day
with theirs ; by my prier commission they
both ranked me. Of course it was net a
very agreeable office for me te fill, te go
and take command of my seniors. How
ever, I did net feel much embarrassment
about it, because I was an elder soldier
than either of them. But I knew that le
gally it was net proper, and that if they
chose te resist it it might become a very
troublesome matter te me for the time
being. Whether or net General Meade,
when he gave me the order, knew
about this relative rank, I de net
knew. I say this because I have since
understood that he did net. When
I spoke te him about it before departing,
however, he remarked in substance that he
was obliged te use such persons as he felt
disposed te use ; that in this case he sent
me because he had explained his views te
me, and had net explained' them te the
ethers ; that I knew his plans and ideas,
and could better accord with him in my
operations than anybody else. I went te
Gettysburg, arrriving en the ground net
later than half-past three o'clock. I
found that, practically, the fight was then
ever. The rear of our column, with the
enemy in pursuit, was then coming
through the town of Gettysburg. Gen
eral Heward was en Cemetery Hill, and
there had evidently been an attempt en
his part te step and form some of his
troops there ; what troops he had formed
there I de net knew. I understood after
wards, and accepted it as a fact, that he
had formed one division there prier te this
time. I told General Heward I had orders
te take command in the front. I did net
show him the orders because he did net
demand it. He acquiesced.
I exercised the command until evening,
when General Slocum arrived, about 6 or
7 o'clock. His troops were in the neigh
borhood, for they apparently had been
summoned up before I arrived, by General
Heward possibly, as well as the 3d corps.
When General Slocum arrived, he being
my senior, and net included in this order
te me, I turned the command ever te him.
In fact I was instructed verbally by Gen
eral Butterfield chief of staff, before I.
left far the front, that I was te de se.
When I arrived and took command I ex
tended the lines. I sent General Wads
worth te the right te take possession of
Gulp's Hill with his division. I directed
General Geary, whose division belonged
te the 12th corps (its commander General
Slocum, net then having arrived), te take
possession of the high ground to
wards Round Tep. I made such
disposition as I thought wise and
proper. The enemy evidently believing
that we were reinforced, or that our whole
army was there, discontinued their great
efforts, and the battle for that day was
ever. There was firing of artillery and
skirmishing all along the front, but that
was the end of that day's battle. By
verbal instructions, and in the order which
I had received from Gederal Mead, I was
directed te report, after having arrived en
the ground, whether it would be necessary
or wise te continue te fight the battle at
Gettysburg, or whether it was possible for
the fight te be had en the ground General
Mead had selected. About 4 o'clock p. m.
I sent word by Majer Mitchell, aide-decamp
te General Mead, that I would held
the ground until dark, meaning te allow
him time te decide the matter for himself.
As seen as I had gotten matters arranged
te my satisfaction, and saw that the
troops were being formed again and I felt
secure, I wrote a note te General Meade,
and informed him of my views of the
ground at Gettysburg. I told that the
only disadvantage which I thought it had
was tnat it could ee readily turned by way
of Emmettsburg, and that the reads were
clear for any movement he might make.
I had ordered all the trains back, as I
came up, te clear the reads.
General Meade had directed my corps,
the 2d corps, te march up toward Gettys
burg, under the command of General Gib Gib
eons. When I found that the enemy had
ceased their operations, I directed General
Gibbens te halt his corps two or three
miles behind Gettysburg, in order te pro
tect our rear from any flank movement of
the enemy. Then my operations in the
front being closed, I turned the command
ever te General Slocum, and immediately
started te report te General Meade in de
tail what I had done in order te express
my views clearly te him, and te see what
he was disposed te de. I rode back and
and found General Meade about 9 o'clock.
He told me he had received my messages
and note, and had decided upon the repre
sentations I had made, and the existence of
known facts of the case, te fight at Gettys
burg, and had ordered all the corps te the
front. That was the end of operations for
that day.
On the third day, in the morning, the
enemy and General Slocum were a geed
deal engaged. About one or two o'clock
in the afternoon the enemy commenced a
terrific cannonade, from probably one hun
dred and twenty pieces of artillery, en the
front of the line connecting Cemetery Hill
with Round Tep, the left centre commanded
by me. That line consisted of the 1st 2d and
3d corps, of which I had the general com
mand. I commanded that whole front. Gen
eral Gibbens commanded the 2d corps in
my absence, General Newton the 1st corps
and General Birney the 3d. That cannonade
continued for probably an hour and a half.
The enemy then made an assault at the
end of that time. It was a very formidable
assault, and made, I should judge, with
about 18,000 infantry. When the columns
of the enemy appeared it looked as if they
were going te attack the centre of our line
but after marching straight out a little
distance, they seemed te incline a little te
their left, as if their object was te march
through my command and sieze Cemetery
Hill, which I have no doubt was their in
tention. They attacked with wonderful
spirit; nothing could have been mere
spirited. The shock of the assault Jell
upon the 2d and 3d division of the second
corps, assisted by a small brigade of Ver
mont troops, together with the artillery of
our line which fired from Round Tep te
Cemetery Hill at the enemy all the way as
they advanced whenever they had the op
portunity. These were the troops that
really met the assault. Ne doubt there
were ether troops that fired a little, but
these were the troops that really with
stood the shock of the assault and repulsed
it. The attack of the enemy was met by
about six small brigades of our troops, and
was finally repulsed after a terrific contest
at very close quarters, in which our troops
took about thirty or forty colors and some
4000 te 5000 prisoners, with great less te
the enemy in killed and wounded. The
repulse was a most signal one, and that de
cided the battle, and was practically the
end of the fight, I was wounded at the
close of the assault, and that ended my
operations with the army for that cam
paign. I did net fellow it in its future
movements.
That practically ended the fighting of tlte
battle of Gettysburg. There was no serious
fighting there after that, save en the left,
in an advance by a small command of the
Pennsylvania Reserves, made very seen
afterwads and based upon our success. I
may say one thing here : I think it was
probably an unfortunate thing that I was
wounded at the time I was, and equally
unfortunate that Gencral Gibbens was also
wounded, because the absence of a promi
nent commander, who knew the circum
stances thoroughly at such a moment as
that, was a great disadvantage. I think
that our lines should have advanced im
mediately, and I believe we should have
wen a great victory. I was very confident
the advance would be made. General
Meade told me before the fight that if the
enemy attacked me be intended te put the
5th and 6th corps en the enemy's flank ;
therefore, when I was wounded and lying
down in my ambulance and about leaving
the field, I dictated a note te Gen. Meade,
and told him if he would put in the 5th
6th corps I believed he would win a great
victory. I asked him afterwards when I
returned te the army what he had
done in the premise. He said he had or
dered the movement, but the troops were
slew in collecting, and moved se slowly
that nothing was done before night, ex
cept that some of the Pennsylvania Re
serves went out and met Heed's division,
it was understood, of the enemy, and act
ually overthrew it. assisted, no doubt, in
some measure, by their knowledge of their
failure in the assault. There were only
two divisions of the enemy en our extreme
left, opposite Round Tep, and there was a
gap in their line of one mile that their as
sault had left, and I believe if our whole
line had advanced with spirit it is net un
likely that we would have taken all their
artillery at that point. I think that was a
fault ; that we should have pushed the
enemy there, for we de net often catch
them in that position ; and the rule is, and
it is natural, that when you repulse and
defeat an enemy you should pursue him ;
and I believe it is a rare thing that one
party beats another and does net pursue
him : and I think that en that occasion it
only required an order and prompt execu
tion. I have no doubt the enemy regarded the
success of their assault as certain, se much
se that they were willing te expend all
their ammunition. They did net suppose
that any troops could live under that can
nonade; but they met troops that had
been se accustomed te artillery fire that it
did net have the effect en them that they
expected. It was a most terrific and ap
palling cannonade, one possibly hardly
ever paralelled.
Question. Was there ever, in any battle
of which you have read, mere artillery
brought into action than in that battle ?
Answer. I doubt whether there has
been mere concentrated upon an equal
space and opening at one time. I think
there has been mere artillery engaged in
many battles, but de net believe there has
been mere upon both sides concentrated
en an equal space.
Question. Yeu did net fellow the army
from there ?
Answer. Ne, sir ; I left the field the
moment the fight was ever.
Question. When did yen join the army
again?
Answer. I did net join it again until
some time in December, when active oper
ations had ceased. I was then ordered by
the secretary of war into the states from
whence the regiments of my corps came te
nil them up Dy recruitment, and I am new
en my return te the army.
Question. But with equal numbers,
you wouie net nesitate te attack: the
eD'
my anywhere under equal circumstances ?
Answer, Ne, sir, I would net. In fact
there is no finer army; if as fine, ia exist
ence in the world than the array of the Po
tomac. .The troops will de anything if
they are only ordered. If they have net
made this or that attack it is because their
commanders did net order 'them te nuke
it. .
