THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
WEDNESDAY EVENING; FEBRUARY - 3, 1861.1
Volunteering with Hai. Gen. Hancock.
We have witnessed : no more sublime, or
gratifying spectach34ttiug the entire- strag
gle with the slave-fiolder4trid d theiralliesiihe
copperheads, thin that furnished by the late
uprising of the people of Pennsylvania,
: in
response to the appeals of Maj. Gen. Han
cock. When Sunder Was fired upon, the
heart of the nation throbbed with mighty
impulse and men rushed to, arms inspired al
most with a wild :and vengeful zeal. When
the disaster of Bull Hari appalled the 'coun
try the people aroused thinaselves with 'some
thing like the sanwsphit.Eacb occasion was a
great crisis. Men ; had, no, time to deliberate.
Death and duty joined 'hands in every path.
The hour was fraught 'with danger and big
with mighty deed& - Unlikc'these occasions
only in the wild tumult which marked the
military operations of the people, the appeal
of Maj. Gen. Hancock. is proc:lueing the most
wondefful effect all over the • State -of:Penn
sylvania. Men are 'now aeting up•on their
solemn judgment and the impulse which be
longs to the love they entertain fora great and a
glorious cause. Gen:Hancock is knOwn •only
to the people of Pennsylvania as a leader-i-as
a hero—as a great and a true soldier. He is
identified with no element in society ,or poli
tics that do notcontribp.te to the glory of his
country. He is acquainted with no combina
tions but those which are formed fOr the
safety and perpetuity of the Government: , He
fights beemise he loves the - Union. He leads
because he knows he can "be of 'Service' to the
Government. And while he does this, he
neither thinks of himself in the present or
his fame in the future. Conscious rectitude
renders him calm and Unselfish on these points.
Is it any wonder, then, that such a man
shbuld rally. ,the true men of the 'old. Key
atone State? Had he come to Pennsylvania a
month earlier,. our quota of troops ~--would
have been full and ready' for the field to-day!
—Men like Maj. Gen. Hancock are inde
pendent of newspaper commendation, and
tienoe we:tirknotr:impellekbY any desire of
flattery, thus to refer to 'him. Our only re
gret is, that the service isnot Made np:Of Such
.officers • 'because with such menin .command
throughout the country, our battles would' be
victories and our strrig,gle , with 'the traitor
foe of short duratiOn. Let the gallant young
men of Pennsylvania thinkof these facts, - -and
rally promptly to the , support of Hancock..
He is one of us--!-ii:Permylvanirua, by birth'
and love. He a soldierin heart and feel
ing, fit to lead heroes in a cause such as he
has pledged his life, his fortune, and his sacred
honor! - •
The Quarters of the Veterans
To show how . totally' inoiliteitated Lieu(
Col. Bomford is, to discharge the important
duties involved in the command at this

effect that the returning veterans shouli,

VW - tad £o. Beimford,:'•fi!liff the War Department,
biwpissinghim with the importance of being
preliblly prepared to receive 'the returning
veterans. It was 'the object of the War. De
partment to convey to the veterans not only
the high regard in which they4ere heldby the
National Government, but impress them with
the real value of their past seriiees, ant the
great importance of , their re-enlistomnt. Let
t hese purposes were entirely - fruskated by the
inefficiency and lack of Vigor Of the command
antat the poet. Capt. Johnson, A, A. Q. M. 'at
this post, more than a month ; since, awed the
importance of making active preparations for
the reception:of these veterans. He appealed
to his superior in command, Lieut. Col.
Bomford, for orders to prepare quarters for
these troops. Thesplippeals were responded
to by extravagant. suggestions on -the subject
of locating a new camp, by' tesitimey lin con

The time thus consumed was of the utmost.

entirely to act on his own' responsibility. By
his efforts and energy, Camp Curtin was pre

had it not been for the promptitude of Capt.

declined to,issue an order on the' Object.—
The - Quartermaster of tlib post, with a hu
manity that ever fits NV ell . thee Valor ofa true
soldier, then ordered the flooring of these tents
immediately, and thus prevented sickness,

We are weary of calling the attention of the
plopevauthoritlei to the woirui4erpli9tiorcs of
duty daily occurring at this post tlirciiih. the
inactivity, lethargy -and even imbecility of
Limiteriant Colonel Bamford. That officer, by
his Mismanagement, has donernoreto discour
age re- enlis*eute *mall the; imheciles , in com
mand in the army. Had the veterans been
allowed to return licene, before re-enlistment, to
endirre the insults and the neglects.

Col Bumford, not one mit'of five-of tliebray.e
felloWs would have Te-enlistid; at least not
unial they, lhad,forgotten the•WrOngsiwhielr
theinew endure, and been able once ;re to
seethe necessity of continuing the battle for
the Union to a glorious and a triumphant ter
mination. The men who form our voltin..
teer forces came from social stations equally
as good: that occupied by Bumford or his
surroundings. These men feel and understand
what is due them; but this is a fact which the
Government has not fully learned, and yet the
sooner the lesson is inculcated, the better for
those in authority, as well as for the stability
of the Union and the Government.
—While on this subject, we cannot refrain
from calling the attention of the War Depart
tient to the fact' that there are more officers
detailed for service at this post than there is
labor for them to perform,. Captain R. I.
Dodge at one time, when the recruiting and
mustering operations 'were on a larger scale,
dischargedall the duties of the post with less
confusion, less coMplaint, and two-thirds less
expense than it'flow costs the Government.
The idle officers at . ' this and other posts
throughout the country, are devouring the vi
tals of the Government, and disgracing the
dignity and energy . ,of the service. They are
!hire as Chiewlier'or mere appendages to -snob

The people are weary and dissatisfied wrath
these evidences of waste, profligacy, idleness
and imbecility. ' Good soldiers who "come here
fresh from the "field, are di:sgusted- , with the
exhibition. Business: men, upon whose 'thrift,
