Bissell, Late Surgeon of U. S. S. S. Jacob Sell.” Extract.fiom the Journal referred to. in ;the foregoing letter. - June 30,1862. —Soon. after ,our arrival at City Point we learned fbat’Geniral McClellan, with his army, had'arrived at .Turkey Bend, and ike got under weighand stood np Lieutenant McCrea inqnired of some of the soldiers where Genera! McClellan' was. He' was informed 'that his head quarters were nhoulihalf « mile distant. McCrea called for bis gig, and went o 0 Shore'. • In- about in' hour' the’eoxewain returned, and told'the' steward | the captain wanted him tO's’en’d-d dozen bo(- lies of Whisky;- .The' whirky was" given -the 1 coxswain im a basket. At-,about three P. MI the firing became very brisk, tmd soon MeOrea bailed the United States steamship Galena. A boat was sent and tbe Captain, with Gen-: eral McClellan,: tbe Prince de Paris {Count), Duke de Charters, and an officer who I under stood was .Chief of Artillery (ha was not in uniform),, came on board the Galena. The United States steamship Jacob Bell at the time was turning the Galena’s bow up stream;; -as we were about starting up the river to shell the Charles City road. . The Galena, Jacob Bell and Aroostook stood up the river to a point from- which we iconld reach ; that road with our shell.';; The ■ Galena' occupied, the the centre of the stream, with'the Jacob He# Japping up her stern. AH the guns were brought to bear upon tho road, a signal officer being on tbe lookout on the Galena giving and receiving signals from the shore, in order,to give the proper direction to our guns. General McClellan was on the lookout a short time. At about 4J{P. M. the fira in that di rection :began to slacken, and the vessels etood down tq'the pointfrom which wo started—the old ferry. Before we got under weigh, General McClellan, with the Princes, came on hoard the Jacob Bell. - , After an' introduction ’of the General and staff to the officers of the Jacob Sell present, 1 McClellan, said“ My army is -demoralized, and I shall,be compelled-to. surrender or capita ulato this, afternoon or to-night, and I must have a gunboat to take .the Prince to Fortress Monroe itpniediat.ely that it would not he eafe'td send them on a'transport. McCrea"re pliedthati Captain Rogers'said he could not .spare a gun-boat. The General. and Princes ■insisted -on .- a- gun-bout. Much—oonvereation tack place between!the General and,the -Prin ces and McCrea,'.myself being .present, and, part of the time,, a correspondent of the New York Times, as I afterward learned. McClSll an and the Princes agreed (hat (he Federal cause, as -they' called it, had; failed, and the Government would have to acknowledge the Southern. Confederacy. r .The result, if-the Princes .should be taken prisoners, owing'fo their European relations, was also' discussed ; and finally it was agreed to make' another effort to induce Captain Bog errto' send a gun-boat with the Princes to Fortress Monroe. • This was the more earnest ly. insisted on, as they all agreed that the sur render of the flotilla would. certainly follow the surrender of -the army ; and General Mc- Clellan said the authorities at Washington wtinld be responsible for the result. At this time, about 6 P. M., a letter was brought to General McClellan, wbich he said 'was from Chief of Staff, and gave contents :—The en emy is repulsed and our avtny is safe.” "He then 1 remarked, ■“ He wishes me to come to the front.” 1 ‘ ■ After reading the the General'and the,. rest of ,thp group left the .hurricane- deck .for the quarterdeck, The General,. Prince de Joinville and McCrea, went aft the deck and conversed soma minutes and then returned, and the General left, after bidding the Prince fare well, for the army. The Jacob Bell then got under way, and stood down to City Point to or der up some o£ the transports, and then re turned to Turkey Bend, After our return, Prince de Joinville reques ted McCrea to go and persuade Rogers to send a gun-boat to carry them to Fortress Monroe. Thp Captain went, and "soon returned, and-said Captain Rogers .bad ordered a gun-boat to go, and that he was going with his vessel. The Prince de Joinville said to him “ That will interfere with your arrangements with General McClellan/’ “ Row is that ?” said the Captain.- “ Yon know,” Said the Prince, “you'was toi keep your vessel here and a boat on shore, so that the General, could get- on board if . he ehoiird be attacked in the night. McCrea said 'he had arranged with another Vessel to lie here". About this time McCrea learned that' there was a correspondent on board, and asked me if it was so. . I told him a man came on board about the time the General did. .1 did not, however, know his business. He said if there was arfy ‘on hoard ho mustleave immediately, as he tvonld have no correspondent on hoard his vessel. • ' : Wo got under way after the Princes’ baggage could be hroought on board, and had a pleas ant trip to Old Ppinf, where we arrived at 8 o’clOot Pf jf., July 1, and tha Captain had the honor ■of the Correspondent of the New York' HmtSißM a passenger in ;his, gig from the vessel to the wharf. , r . ' There were some things connected with the dsyVevenfs which surprised me very much.— There seetned from the conversation of Gen eral. McClellan and the Prince an apparent de sire to*surrender the arrrfy on the pretext of an unsuccessful campaign, throwing, however, the responsibility,.upon,-the authorities at Washington. I may be mistaken in this.. Bat I could not otherwise interpret their conversa tion, cspeciilly as their remarks about surren dering -the army were coupled with the ac knowledgement of the Southern Confederacy, and .the responsibility of the authorities at Washington, , feet which struck me was the free,, not to‘say erceesive, use of whisky. The whis ky bottle whs Raised three times while they 'occupied the hurricane-deck, each -time' Gen ■ eraliftloClellan,. the Princes and McCrea drink ing-; This struck me. the more forcibly,;as I had understood the General was strictly a tem perate man. ' The effect of the whisky was 1 quite manifest on the.tall, slim Prince (Count), as We requi reef material-aid,rin the shape of a man at each side, to pass from the hurricane to the quarter deck; and, after a little , time, being unable to "keep his position in the chair, McCrea proposed that'be' occupy hie bed In the cabin, which he did- by the assistance of -McCfea and one one of the Princes. Tbe rebel cheering for McClellan’s nomination was npt confined, to Lee’s .army.. The Prov idence Journal pf tbe 24th says ; “We have just received s’letter from a gallant and ac complished officer' serving with Sheridan, that on a recent reconnoissanoe, when our forces came in sight of the enemy, the rebels sent op cheer after cheer for McClellan, which our hoys answered-with thundering ehouts for Lin ed a, l He added that tbe cheering of the rebels for the; Chicago Domination.produced a marked effect upon oar men, and strengthened, their opposition to the candidate that elicits such support. - " “ Every rebel in'arms and every rebel in office —every rebel Organ j’n the rebel States of in foreign lands—every hater of democratic 1 freedom and the rights of man, longs and 1 la bors Yor the oyerthrow-of the Administration; and the. expulsion of Abkadaii Lixcolx from the Presidential chair.” This is, perhaps, the .emphatic sentence of the Appeal of the Na tional Union Committee'to the people. Put there is not a word in the document, which tve print, tp day, which is not emphatically true, and we only that the people of all parlies shall ponder its argument well. . ; - The gallant John A. Logan made an eloquent Union speech at OarVondale, 111., on’the Ist insf. -Hi denounced the Chicago, platform, and’strong dy’advOikted the - re-election of - Mri Lincoln; Address of-the Union State Central Cdm- mittee. The'retjirps of the late election, now in the possessions this Committee, enable it to an nounce that Pennsylvania has decided against all armistices, and attempts at peace, until re bellion is broken and-treaeon disarmed. True to its past history, the Keystone State array a herself by the side of Ohio and Indiana,.and proclaims to the world her. confidence in an Administration true to the Union of the States, and herintentiou .to. sustain that Administru-' tion in power until the Union, is-restored-.. The Union party have carried the State, • gained' three members of Congress, and elected a ma jority of both Houses of the Legislature, on the home vote, and.the soldiers’ Vote as far as recei ved indicates the gain of two more members a of Congress, and a clear Union majority of fifteen thousand votes. This is a most gratifying re sult, and should fill the heart of every loyal man with joy. Its importance cannot be over estimated, in view of the fact that some sev enteen thousand soldiers who came home last year and voted for Governor Curtin are now absent with tbe army and are yet to be heard from. Besides, it is computed tbat under the’ last call of the President, and within; the past few months, twenty-three thousand of our cit-. izens have gone forth to the field. These men are scattered over the-whole country, and owing to the active operations now in progress, it has been impossible for the commissioners appoint ed for that purpose to obtain all their votes. Thousands and thousands of votes have thus been lost to the Union party, wbich party can only be dependent on to feed the army with fighting material. Under these circumstances the Committee regard the victory achieved as a grand triumph, and congralntate the country npon it. The re-election of Mr. Lincoln is cer tain'. In November-the Slate will give a great ly increased majority. There will be but two tickets, and party lines will be more distinctly drawn. No locaLjealousies or differences will divide our friends, and, united on the great issue, Pennsylvania .will poll a vote for'Lincoln and Johnson which ;■ will prove that she is sec ond to none of her sister States in devotion to the Federal Government. ■ ' 1 ‘ Simon Cameron, Chairman Union State Central Com Union Prisoners Paroled to Vote for McClellan.' Our readers - ought by this time to be pretty callous to new proofir of McClellan’s complicity -with the enemies of his country; hut there is a -surprise, in store, ipr them. Bead, this . sworn statment snbscriijed By a Union soldier, and attested by respectable and-well-known gentlo men in one of the counties of this State. Montgomery County, ss; Personally appeared before me, a ji ustice of the peace in and for said county, Franklin Schwenk, of Upper Providence township, Montgomery .county, and State of Pennsylvania, a private of Company H, 13th Begiment Pennsylvania Cav alry, who, on his solemn oath, deposeth and says, that on the 9th day of March, 1864, he was taken prisoner near Bristow Station, Va., and conveyed to Belle Isle prison, and' from thence to General Hospital No,. 21, in - Rich mond that on the last day of August, 1864, ihe Director'of said hospital waited on him, and proposed to parol him and to permit him to return home if he would promise to vote for George B. McClellan at the approaching elec tion ; that be, the said Franklin Schwenk, in order to escape from starvation and rebel.atroci ty, did make said promise, and therefore was paroled. The said Franklin Schwenk further says, under his solemn oath, that all prisoners of said hospital who frankly and positively said they would vote for Abraham Lincoln were not paroled, but remained in said hospital, Franklin Schwenk. . Witnesses' present; Dr. Warren Boyer, Sam uel Penny packer. Sworn and subscribed to before me, this 10th day of October, 1864. . ■ Henry W. Keatz, Justice of the Peace. A Converted M'Cefllan Man. —An officer in the 196th Begiment Pennsylvania Volunteers writei from-Springfield, Illinois, ’to a friend in this city, under'date of October 3d, 1864, as follows : ■ ‘ i “I am going ter give you a piece of inform ation, which will make you open your eyes to the fullest extent. I, a rank Democrat, warm friend of Gen. McClellan, am going tp vote for Abraham Lincoln. But one thing has led me to makenp my mind to snch a course, and that is one which no one, who has not been out here in the West, can appreciate. “In the East we think we have Sebession sympathizers, but here, especially in this State [lllinois) and- Indiana, Secession feeling, it is nothing else, is rampant, bold, unblushing, and prevalent, to a most alarming degree. They openly proclaim their object, peace on any (terms, and the recognition o'f the Southern Con federacy. The existence of this feeling is what has decided me to vote for Lincoln, not because he is the candidate of any party, but because be ds'for war. I consider that in voting for him I vote simply for the-prosecution of the war." I • —The 196th Regiment has been doing, dijty in Illinois for the past two months.

Y., writes ua from Turner’s Lane Hospital, Philadelphia, under date of Oot. 17, aa follows: “ I send yon the result of the soldiers’ vote Id this hospital. It stands—Lincoln, 192, Mo- Clellanj 58. That’s the way we support Little Mao 1 . Last Friday a vote was taken on the cars above Harrisburg; it resulted—Lincoln, 68, Mao, 25... Most of the passengers were sol- Slerav ■ TJbeGoppetheada claim the State on the one vote. When’they gat the returns from the army they will call for the mountains to cover them. Very few soldiers in the front will vote for their old holiday leader; and Lit tle Mac is remembered by very few soldiers ex cept as a holiday leader, a Government ham mer. Had he been nominated two years ago he would have been elected by an overwhelm ing majority. His day of glory ie past, never, never to return.” The following is taken from a letter to J. B. Niles, Esq., from Lieut. P. H. Blanchard, of Co. Q, 207tb P. V. It has the true ring ; “ I never saw men more willing to perform the duty of soldiers than the men of this reg iment. Ever; morning at 4J o’clock, we have to fall into the riflepits and remain there till sunrise. This is done in case a sadden attack should be made at daybreak, so that we may be prepared to meet the enemy and bntl him back to the doom that awaits him after the Presidential election, which will, if Abraham Lincoln is elected, wipe secession from the land. No doubt you would like to know how the soldiers will vote. This is my opinion:— that they.will vote fer ‘old Abe,’ as they call him, almost to a man. Especially these new troops which are doing picket dnty on the lines in this vicinity, when the rebels come right out before us and cheer for McClellg.nl That is enough to decide for us how we ought to vote. You well know that when I enlisted I was a Mc- Clellan man : hut, thank God, I saw the wrong in time. I hope all miy McClellan friends will be convinced ere it is too late. Now is the time to decide whether we will have peace and Union restored, or peace that will bring shame and disgrace open the people of the North, and a stain upon the grand repute of our armies that have gone forth to put down the rebellion taking their million lives in their hands. Even the brave who sleep beneath the soil of Virgin ia would haunt us forever, were we to submit to the terms they ask. > “'While on picket,the other day, I had n long talk with a rebel Captain. He said il Lincoln waa re-elected they would throw down their arms ; that they expected nothing from him but war to the last.” Mr. Jesse B. Doane, Co. K 207th P. V., in which Tioga county has 450 soldiers, write* as from the riflepifs in the front as follows: “ The thunder of artillery in the direction of Richmond, speaks loader than words of what true hearts and willing bands can endure in defence of those heaven-born principles estab lished by our revolutionary sires, and which traitors, armed and unarmed, are trying to de stroy. But thanks to the wisdom of our chief Magistrate and noble commanders on land and sea, they are worthy of the trust reposed in them ; and Rebellion reels and staggers under the blows dealt upon its sin-cursed head. I regard the President in the light of a goodhns; bondman, who waters and tends the sacred plant of Liberty, but the vile weed of treason he pulls up. root and branch. Ho commenced by removing Generals high in command. I hope he has cast them on ground so hard and stony that neither the rains, nor dews will re fresh and vivify them. I see them in their ar ray, as the full-leaved forest; but one good November frost will disrobe them. That frost will come on the Bth day of November, accor ding to my almanac. “ And now I bid you God speed in the noble struggle for humanity, and the endeavor to op bold civil liberty.” The following is a letter written by a sol dier in Stanton Hospital, under date of Sep tember 24: , ***** Do the Copperheads' honestly think that when a man enters the army he ioses his manhood, bis honor? i Do they suppose because we are away from our homes, fighting for a nation’s -life, a na tion’s honor, that we lose our honor ? Are they foolish enough to believe we .are not think ing men ? We are, and will prove it to them this Fall. I ; Are we to turn our victorious columns, that have pushed the lines of conquest from Chat tanooga to Atlanta, and driven the enemy in ronl to the borders of the Gulf—are we, the soldiers of the Potomac Army, that have fought our way to where stand, in a campaign which makes historic wars a play-thing—are all to re-1 tire and allow Copperheads and conspirators ,to settle, over the graves of our fallen com rades, the terms of disgraceful surrender to Jeff. Davis and bis crew f Must all who have died under the banner of our glorious Repub lic die for nothing 7 ***** You ask me what I think of Little Mae and bis peace platform. Well, I think that Little Mac was just the man, while yon used to say, when he was before Richmond, that there was a screw loose somewhere, end I now believe yon was about right, for his ac tions and words both go to prove it. But, .thank God, I have a better opinion of onr vo ters than to think they will now give up the contest, when victory is perching on our ban ners, and when the kingdom of. King Cotton and Slavery is taking its last gasp, and thoin stigators about to meet their just reward. No, never. I have seen my comrades fair around me, and have seen the battle-field cov ered -with our dead heroes, and have heard our wounded soldiers groan with anguish and pain, but have never seen one but was willing to suffer and die, if need be, for their country, and all prefer death than to come under the reign of traitors. No, dear father, I do not think any loyal man can vote for McClellan and Pendleton on the Chicago platform, and I' think Little Mac is trying to soft soap the plat form over; won’t go down —it won’t with the ‘
