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<he river;
arriving at Turkey’Benf ithbnt noon. The
north bank of theriver was lined'with
w.afehing and bathing,-or filling their canteens.
In the distance was heard the thunder of can-'
non,' - ' " ■>
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

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.

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

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

“I am going ter give you a piece of inform

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 •

FROM THE SOLDIER BOYS.
Mr. C. C. Edson, Co. I 45th P. 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 ‘
