The Mature and Cause of Hancock's
Wound at Gettysburg.
Ilia Pall Upou the Field of Battle—State
ment of the Surgeon Who Extracted
the Bullet-What Gen. Mitchell
Knows About It.
Xokristown, I'a., Sept. 28. —Mr.
Francis .lonian, ex-Secretary of State,
having, in a recent speech at Harris
burg, made use of "Col. Baxter's"
contemptible aspersion of Gen. Han
cock's conduct at Gettysburg, Mr.
< )vid F. Johnson wrote a letter to
Dr. L. W. llead, of this place, inquir
ing into the nature of Hancock's
wound. Dr. Read was the General's
attendaut surgeon after his removal
from the battle-field to be eared for at
Norristown. Following is the state
ment made bv Mr. Jordan in his Har
risburg speech:
On his arrival on the field of Gettys
burg, Gen. Hancock reported to Gen.
Slocum, and from a peculiar cannonad
ing accident was struck in the back with
a nail from a board fence; he was taken
to the hospital, where he remained un
til the fight was over. From sworn tes
timony from persons who were near the
General when he was wounded it can
be shown that he was not in command,
and did not fight the battle as is claim
ed by his friends.
In answer to Mr. Johnson's inquiry,
J)r. Read wrote as follows :
DEAR SIR: Your communication dat
ed September 18 has been received. In
response to your interrogatory, "Did you
extract a bullet from Gen. Hancock
after the battle of Gettysburg?" I did
—a conical one of large size. It enter
ed the anterior and upper third of the
thigh, just inside of the femoral artery,
I>enetrated eight inches and was iui
>edded in one of the bones of the pel
vis. The operation was performed
nearly two months after the receipt ol
the injury."
This conclusively settled the ques
tion as to the nature of the wound and
the cause of it. Rut it did not settle
another poiut in the dispute, and com
munication was at once opened with
Gen. William G. Mitchell, which re
sulted in the receipt of the appended
history of the manner and time in
which Gen. Hancock was wounded
at Gettysburg. It appears iu the col
umns of the Norristown Regi*ter.
Gen. Mitchell at that battle was
Gen. Hancock's assistant adjutant
general, and, although not present at
the time Gen. Hancock was wounded,
was with him a few miuutes after he
fell :
"At Gettysburg, where Gen. Han
cock commanded the left center of the
army, July 3, 1863, he received a
wound which was supposed, at the
time, to be morlal. He was struck by
a musket hall while on his line of bat
tle just at the moment of the enemy's
grand final assault on the third day.
The ball passed through the front of
his saddle and carried into the wound
with it a large wrought nail from the
saddletree. The bullet and nail in
tern! near the groin, the hall passing
back through the thigh and lodging
near the socket of the thigh bone,
which it slightly splintered. The Gen.
was assisted from his horse by two of
ficers of Gen. Btannard's stall', who
were near him at the time. He re
mained upon the ground until the
assaulting column had been driven
entirely from the field —giving orders
to his troops (from the point at which
he lay he could see the field of buttle
by raising himself on his elbow,) nnd
from that point he sent one of his aids
to inform Gen. Meade that we bad
won a great victory.
"This wound so disabled Gen. Han
cock as to unfit him for field service
until the following December, wheu
he returned to the army of the Poto
mac and resumed command of the
Becond Corps, to take part in the cam-
D;n of 1864. The wound, however,
not healed and gave him great
trouble and annoynuce during the
campaign, and although he continued
with his command, he was obliged to
travel in an ambulance a great |>or
tiou of the time. His haltit on the
march was to remain in hisamhulabce
at the head of his columu until iu
the vicinity of the enemy, when he
mounted his horse and so remained
until the fighting was over. During
the whole of the summer of 1864 he
was daily attenJed bv a surgeon, on
account of bis wound, which at that
time was much irritated and discharg
ing more or less all the time, small
portions of the bone at times passing
f rom it. While in front of the enemy's
works at Petersburg, Ya., in June
1864, when the troops were constantly
under fire and the General was obliged
to be mounted nearly all of the time
both day and night, his wound became
so inflamed and dangerous that lie was
eoinpelled to relinquish command of
the corps for a few days (Juno 17,
after the bloody fight of that day was
over,) he turned over the command
to his next iu rank. He did not,
however, leave the field, but continued
with the troops, and again assumed
command of the corps June 27,
finding himself much relieved by the
discharge of quite a largo piece of
boue from the wound. He continued
to suffer from his wound during all
the remaining time of the war, and
indeed feels serious effects from it to
this time, March, 1873."
The Mysterious Figures.
A Bourbon (I ml.) despatch of Sept.
21st tells of an unexampled excite
ment which prevailed in that place at
the time stated. It says :
We are having a unique time out
here. On Saturday night several
small boys chalked the mysterious
figures.
$320
all over the city. They appeared on
every fence, wall, post and curb from
one end of the city to the other. They
were chalked on the doors of the Post
Office and of the Campbellite church.
Kven the thrcshholds of distinguished
citizens did not escape. Ail the Han
cock men in town began to laugh,and
a fair share of the Garfield men be
gan to curse. About midnight a brig
ade of Republicans armed with mops,
scrubbing brushes, brooms, and pails
of water, scattered itself all over the
city, and began to wash out the figures.
Small boys, however, travelled in the
wake of the scrubs, and the figures
8320
re-appeared as fast as erased. After
five hours work the scrubbing brigade
went home in disgust. Senator Alli
son, of lowa, was announced to speak
on the following Monday. He receiv
ed telegraphic notice of the cropping
out of the mysterious figures, and
halted within forty miles of the city.
After a council of war he took track
for home. On -Monday the excite
ment broke out afresh. Half a dozen
prominent Republicans ap|>eared on
the street with the mysterious figures
chalked on their backs. A distin
guished Campbellite clergyman awoke
at 7 A. M., and was ouraged to find
$320
on the soles of his boots. Little white
flags bearing the cabalistic symbols
floated from various points. A Gar
field butcher went into hysterics be
cause some one had inscribed the fig
ures on the collnr of his dog. The ;
Hancock men laughed more heartily
than ever, nnd the Garfield men cursed ;
like an army in Flanders. They i
were even more excited than they were
when they received the news of their
defeat from Maine. After again vain
ly trying to wash out the figures they
threatened to resort to the shotgun
policy. These threats made the Han
cock men roar with laughter. The
curses of tho Garfield crowd were so
appalling that even the imported col
ored element stood aghast. The worst
or best of it is that the
$320
mania has spread to adjoining towns,
ami it threatens to run over northern
Indiana like wildfire. If it reaches
Ohio the Lord alone knows what will
happen. 83251.
Garfield not the Soldier's Friend.
From th I>)litown Democrat.
Garfield is one of the most unfortu
nate men who ever sat in Congress.
He was not only the friend of all the
jobs which came before the House, but
he was just as persistent in his opposi
tion to measures which should have
met the support of every member.
While he voted FOR all the land
grants to railroads, and to increase his
own pay 50 per cent., nnd to date
hack two years, he voted to cut down
the wages of printers in the govern
ment office. In a speech on the sub
ject he said he thought they got too
much pay. In 1864, he voted against
increasing the pay of soldiers to 820
)>er month. In 1865,a bill was intro
duced into the House to increase the
pay of both officers and men of the
army; hut Garfield opposed the in
crease of the men's pay, and favored
increasing the officers'. In 1862, he
voted against giving honorably dis
charged soldiers 160 acres of land
each, and this in the face of voting
away one hundred and ninety-six
millions of acres to railroads. When
the hill came up in Congress to
grant pensions to the few surviving
soldiers of the War of 1812, Gar
field voted against it; nnd he like
wise voted against granting {tensions
to the surviving soldiers, or their
widows, of the Mexican war. With
this record Itefore their eyes, how can
Garfield he claimed as the soldier's
friend ?
IK I were President I would veto nil
legislation which might come before
me providing for the consideration or
|>aymeut of claims of any kind for
losses or damnges by persons who were
in the Rebellion, whether pardoned or
not.—Gen, Hancock'* letter of Sept, 23.
T
The Effect Upon Business
Interests.
The favorite argument against a
change of administration is the injury
that will he done to the business inter
ests of the country. To listen to the
speeches and to read the articles upon
this subject it might he inferred that
the country was really in the keeping
of the Republican party, and would
go straightway to ruin if not looked
after by its candidates. Milton de
scribed an eclipse us "shedding dis
astrous twilight on half the nations,
and with fear of change, perplexing
monarchs," but an eclipse was never
half such a bugaboo as the probable
election of General Hancock, if we
are to judge from what we read in
Republican papers. Those who write
and talk such stuff must have a very
low opinion of the good sense of the
people of the United.States, for they
know very well that the fact is the
country gets along as well as it does
in spite of the politicians, and not be
cause of their protecting care. Two
or throe very plain propositions will
dispose of the pretense that the suc
cess of any party is essential to our
welfare:
First. The men who constitute
the administration to-day, with one or
two exceptions, never had ability
enough to manage their own business
in such away as to greatly distinguish
themselves, and if Mr. Hayes never
became anything more than a second
or third rate lawyer in a small city
like Cincinnati it is absurd to suppose
that by making him President he
could be forthwith made capuble of
controlling the business interests of
the whole country. Mr. Kvarts was,
of course, of a higher grade; but,
after ull, he was pretty accurately de
scribed by the late Judge drier as " a
mere sentence monger." Mr. Sherman
has shown fair business capacity in
his own affairs, but there are fifty
men on Third street and twice fifty on
Wall street who are his superiors, and
there is not one of the rest of them
who could get half the salary in any
private corporation he now receives.
It is a hackneyed quotation of the
saying of Chancellor Oxeustiern:
" do, my son, and see with what little
wisdom the world is governed." Rut
the greatest lack of wisdom is on the
part of the governed when they come
to think they owe everything to their
rulers; for, certainly, if the men in
office have not succeeded in private
life, it is follv to sup|Kse that they are
any better cupable to manage the af
fairs of other people. If the countrv
really needed to be taken care of, it
would be iu a bad way iu such hands,
lint, luckily, the great American
people have it and themselves in thefr
own keeping, and if they wish to
change their servants —not their rul
ers—they need not and will not 1*
afraid to do it.
Second. If all our present pro*-1
perity if <luo to the Republican party, j
how doee it happen that in IM7:', when 1
the panic occurred, and during the !
long years of the steady decline in I
values thereafter, the Republican
party, having full control of all de- j
pnrtmcnts of the government, did not
arrest the depreciation and ruin, und
restore confidence and prosperity ? j
And why was it that it was not until 1
the Democratic pnrty had acquired I
control of the House of Keprcsenta- j
tives that there was a check to the fall, i
and not until it had secured the Sen- j
ate the reaction set in ? If we were
to judge by the order of events, we
might say the Republican party was
responsible for the breakdown in IH7J,
and the Democrats entitled to the
credit of the revival of business which
began to show itself in 1878, and fair
ly set in by 1879; but the truth is
that this, too, would Ite absurd. The
advance in prices, which is sometimes
mistaken for prosperity, went on all
over the world till 1M73, and the de
cline was equally universal till 1879,
and for these general movements up
and down neither party is responsible.
Third. It does uot follow, however,
that it is a matter of indifference to
business men whether one party or
the other gets in. The mania for
railway building, stimulated by im
provident land grants, bad much to
do with the unnatural high prices of
1872 and the completeness of the col
lapse that followed the next year, and
the misgovernment and plundering of
the Southern States from 186.1 to 1876
delayed the restoration of prosperity
in that section. The Republican pol
icy was certainly fairly tested down
there, and if we nre to believe the
accounts given by Republicans them
selves, it only led to the robbery and
massacre of the negroes. That policy
was given up four years ago, and by
common consent good order now pre
vails ; the negroes are well paid and
well fed, and while we hear a great
deal about the wheat crop making re
sumption |K>ssihle, the value of cotton
exported is almost equal to that of
both wheat and flour —$212,000,(MX)
lust year, as against about $225,000,-
(MM)—and if it had not been for Re
publican misrule in the South, we
might have had "the good times" a
year or two sooner. Fortunately, what
has been done in the South cannot be
undone, and there is no great chance
for mischief left. Upon the whole,
therefore, we do not think it greatly
matters whether one half-dozen of
men or another sit around the Cabinet
table in Washington during the next
four years. So loug as price* keep
going up, the |>eople will think them
selves prosperous, and when the turn
comes, four or five or ten years hence,
they will think that the world has
come to an end ugain ; hut whether
they are to be rich or poor, successful
or unfortunate, will depend upon their
own conduct. If they wish to lie
happy, they must be virtuous, and
that is all there is about it.
How Votes Are Mude for Hancock.
To the Editor of the World.
HIH : At a Republican mass-meeting
held at New Ismdon, this county,
yesterday, ami addressed by W. H.
Gibson, of "Ohio treasury fame,"
there was a large banner carried over
a wagon load of young ludics repre
senting the different States, the banner
iu question bearing this motto :
'• "Arnold, a Traitor, •
: Sept. 28, 1780. :
j Sept. 28, 18M0, :
• In Hancock one 7" \
This, of course, was authorized by
the Republican committee. It was
carried in the procession. It stood
for an hour in the principal street of
the town, aud I have not heard this
infamous insult denounced by a single
Republican.
Now, Mr. Editor, 1 was a soldier
in Hancock's old Second ('orps. I re
ceived a wound—causing the loss of
my leg—at the battle of Gettysburg.
\\ bile being carried from the field I
saw General Hancock riding at the
head of a column of infantry, through
a |>erfect •■torni of bullets, to close up
the ranks. The next day he fell ou
the front line of battle. I have never
voted the Democratic ticket in my
life, but shall vote for "Hancock and
Union" this fall. My blood boils as
I think of this scandalous insult to
one of the most glorious soldiers uml
men of this or any other country. I
wonder if the soldiers of the Potomac
Army will stand calmly by and see
themselves degraded by this insult to
General Hancock and still vote with
the party that perpetrates this infa
my ?
If any one is disposed to doubt the
exact truth of this statement, I can
furnish the names of any number of
eye-witnesses to the outrage.
Respectfully, F. R. NH'KKKSON,
Late Sergeant, Co. K, Hth O. V. I.
Greenwich, Huron Co., Sep. 24, 'HO.
A (Juration of not Much Consequence.
Mr. John Sherman, recently, in a
speech delivers! at Washington, said
that when the war broke out every
Republican rallied to the flag, ami
the reliels were all Democrats. Mr.
Sherman was then an able-bodied
man ami a Republican, but he did
not rally to the. flag, although he
made, it is said, a good deal of money
during the war. His brother, Gener
al Sherman, did the fighting for the
family. Mr. John Sherman's assertion
is still further untrue. The rebels
were not all Democrats. They were
Democrats and Whigs and Americans,
and were divided in ]s>litics,just as the
Northern soldiers were. From locali
ties where Democrats were in the
majority, there went to the war a
majority of Democratic soldiers, and
from localities where the Republicans
predominated there went more Repub
lican soldiers. There is no way of
determining the respective numbers of
Democrats and Republicans among
the rank and file, hut we can judge
somcwhut by the politics of the gen
erals who went into the service when
the war broke out. Not that the gen
erals were entitled to more credit than
the rank and file. Generally the
generals did not amount to a great
deal. The Union army was immense
in the able qualities of its high pri
vates, it corporals, and its sergeants,
for they did good fighting and won
victories oflcn where the generalship
was very bad. Rut who were the
Republican generals when the war
broke out ?
McClellan, the organizer of the
5 real Army of the Potomac, was a
>emoerat; so was Fighting Joe Hook
er, dead now, alas! and not here to
vote, as he fought, with Hancock; so
was Meade a Democrat, and lialdy
•Smith, the bead of the National Asso
ciation of Hancock Veterans, and C.
F. Smith, and Thomas, the hero of
Chickamauga, and McPherson, and
Lyon, and Gordon Granger, and the
noble Sedgwick, aud Oanby, and
Mansfield, aud Reynolds, who gave
his life at Gettysburg, and llcinzel
man, and Meagher, and Corcoran, and
Wool, and Griffin, and Hayard, and
('lister, aud Sykes, and Sherman, and
liosecrans, and Huell, aud Stcedman,
and Williams, and Keyes, and Couch,
and Logan, and Ward, and Frankliu,
and Averell, and Morell, and Scho
field, and Sweeney, and Sickles, and
Stoncman, and Morgan, and Hart
ranft, and Fitz John Porter, and the
McCooks —five of them —all from one
family, aud John Corse, who held the
fort at Altoona, ami Hen Butler, and
U. 8. Grant —a Breckenridgc Demo
crat by the way—and last, but easily
greatest of thein all, the hero of the
battle that broke the back of the re
bellion, the peerless Hancock of Get
tysburg. And in the navv there were
a few notable Democrats, such as Far
ragut, and Worden, aud Porter. There
were Republican generals, it is true;
there was General Hanks, who was a
General only in a very general sort of
away, and there was Carl Schurx, too,
the great piauo player of the While
House. Frank Blair wat a Kcpuhli

out. And nhall Mr. Sherman, in view
of thew! undisputed facts, assert un- |
contradicted that the Democrats were j
all relx-ls, and that only the Kepuhli- !
cans rullietl to the flag?
The Southern Itugahoon.
Hon. H. A. Herbert, member of
Congress from the Second district of J
Alabama, upon being notified of his
renomination, made a speech hearing
directly on the senseless attempt of the
Republicans to frighten honest voters
into accepting a tainted candidate for
the I'residency by pretending to he- (
lieve that the election of General j
Hancock would lead to the payment
of all sorts of Southern claims. Quot
ing the eloquent passage from Han
cock's letter of acceptance; in which
he speaks of the Union as the main
pillar in the edifice of our real indo
|iendence, Mr. Herbert added that it
we could only get the masses of the 1
North, those who are honest voters j
and not office-seekers, to understand J
iiud know that this is the sentiment '
that actuates us, that we recognize the
results of the war fully, that we sup
jsirt the constitution with all its
amendments, that we protect and
guard the rights of these freed men
who constitute so large a part of this
audience, we should add thousands of
votes to Hancock in November. But
every vile slander that ingenuity can
invent and malice can perpetrate is
being distilled into the ears of the
Northern people. John Sherman, in
a speech made at Cincinnati, actually
stooped so low as to tell the fieople of
the North that if the Democracy got
in power they would claim pay tor its !
slaves. I see that Porter, candidate
(or Governor, is repeating the same
stuff in Indiana on that stump. The
idea is so preposterous that it passes
my understanding that any voter
could be influenced by it, hut such
men as Porter and Sherman would
not condescend to use such an argu- j
ment if they did not believe they
could make vote* by it. To catch a
vote there is nothing they would not
say. This is a hard saying, but lam
justified in it when men of their in- |
telligence resort to such arguments.
Iok at it. The South contains
scarcely more than a third of the vot
ing population of the Union. The j
slaveholders were not a third of the
Southern white people. Since the
freedmeu have become voters the form- |
cr slaveholders are not more than one- |
eighth of our voters. To pay this
one-eighth of our people we would
have to saddle the other seven-eights
of our people with a debt of one hun
dred and fifty millions of dollars.
Why, if we were separated from the j
North by a gulf so wide and deep that
the lightning of the telegraph could
not lean it, we could not pass such a
law. Fellow-citizens, this is a Demo
cratic district. I am the Democratic
nominee. I believe lum acceptable
to the party, but if 1 should seriously
announce to the people that I was in
favor of taxing tiie voters who were
never slaveholders to pay those who
were, I could not be elected. I could
not carry a county iu the district. I
There is not a district in the South
that could lie carried on any such
platform. W hen, then, Mr. Sherman
announces that there is danger that
the former slaveholders of the South
will make the whole United States
pav one hundred and fifty millions of
dollars for the liberated slaves —well,
iny friends, I will only say he knows
better. Another slander he indulges
iu is that if Democracy is successful
we will endeavor to pension Confed
erate soldiers for the Confederate war.
Gentlemen, I was a Confederate. I
hear on my person scars received in
fighting under the Southern cross. 1
yield to no man in love for mv dead
comrades or in sympathv for tKe liv
ing heroes of that Confederacy. Yet
it never came into my mind in the
wildest flights of my imagination, uor
did it ever cross yours, that t he govern
ment of the United States or auy oth
er government could afford to pension
soldiers for fighting against it. It is
equally untrue that we could or would
embarrass the government with claims
for quarter masters' stores taken dur
ing the war. All we ask is the right
of local self-government! We don't
want to coutrol the domestic atrairs of
Indiana. They know how to govern
themselves in these matters better
than we do, and we kuow how to control
domestic aflairs better than they do.
We waut a fair shake in the blessings
of honest government. We demaud
to be admitted to a full and free par
ticipation in its benefit* as equals, aud
we do not expect the government to
enrich its people, for tiie government
has nothing but what it takes from
the people. But I cannot waste time
iq ausweriug Sherman's slanders here
before thin audience. I ouly wish th
people who 1 inter! to biro were down
here to listen to roe and to shake you
by the hand* and talk to you. Tlu n
they would find out how the Jieople of
the South are slandered, and tin v
would spurn th-ir deceiver* from tin ,
and in November next they wouj<|
rise io their might and rebuke, I,\ aiJ
