A Rare Epinodc In “'llr.~ l
Gnrrenum. Pm. Sent. 8. 1864. i
To the Editor of The Ni w York New: ‘
After the battle ol'Gettyaburg there were
many incidents of intc-reit. nmqnthem I
may be allowed to draw your nuentinn to
the following relating to xiMrs. Cdlllﬂli‘l
Brown, of New York State, and Colonel
Herbert, of Maryland: ‘
A Fedeml captain had fullt-n at. the ﬁrst
battle of Bull Run. 118 was in n dying
condition. Cnlonel [lerbv‘rtmf-i Maryland
regiment, C. S. A., dismountml from his/
’horse to place the exyirmg ollicer in :In
«my porition. “ with his lil-zul to re-\ hi :3
milsi-bnvervtl root of a "dill. tr--c.” :n the
etl’crt. the dying man’s poclwhhmvk trll ; a
Confederate soldier stnnpml Inst-cure It. hut
the Colonel said. “.\'22! lill take wire of
that.” At. his leisurpnn exmmnatinn ru
‘ vealed the name of the (It-ml'ntliuer to l»: a
Captain Brown, of New ank State, ﬁltr
sevenzdollurs in gold and rum“ Imnwint
paperﬁ. Through the Vivi-mu leg of army
lilo, when men were sutli-rin: for but].
wlun gnld “maid htu'd R||:V\t‘l‘dti u mmt
merciful pnrpnsmmml whf-n some ni-‘luheis
'of the mmnnnd knew that the C‘slnm'l
hml charge 61' a inspacmlulo sum. which
- many would have cunsi-lerml fairly mp
tured, nothing could muve the gallant.
Colonel from' his noble nml-honorable pur
-1 pose of making a true retum.
1 At. the battle of Gettysburg. in tho erot
‘ memorable charge umm Culp’s Hill, July
2, 1803, Colonel ll mhert was severely
wounded; and, while lying at the Cu nornl
Hospital (Camp Letterman.) near Gutys
burg. hard a lady passing IrIS tent, “Won
“der if any of the rebel wounded know about.
her husband, Captain Brown.” This re
mark attracted the Colonel‘s attention.—
Sntisfying himself as to the case by Calling
119: and engaging in a conversatiqn. he in
formed her that 'pqx-sihly _he knew some
thing of her husband. HPr eyes glowed
with hope. She had been seeking informa
tion relating to het‘ husband ever since the.
battle of Bull Run, but. until now, in vain.
The Colonel produced from his battle-worn
havorsack the papers of the decpxucd. and
then counted down the identical ﬁlty~seven
dollars in gold. which he had kept. under
trying diﬁiculties. The feelings of the
3 longdistress'ed widow under such genelous
revealment. from a rebel can better be
imagined than described. ‘
jﬁrTbe foHowing statement was made
in the Confederate Cbngress, just before its
adjournment, of the number of troops fur
nished by the several Slate; ﬁnds the be

This is asmnll number by the side of the
millions called out. by Lincoln.
&A Catholic priest, a good Democrat,
of [ndiahg was recently riding I ﬁne horse,
when I ssh-op of Lincoln accosted him by
saying: “ How do you'ride so ﬁne o horse;
do you not. know that Christ. rode on njack
ass ?" “I know that very well,” replied
the priest, “And I will tell you the mason
why Ido not follow his example. In 1860.
the people elected the biggest. jocknss
in the United Smog for Preai ant. nnd he
oppointed all the othor'juchsaoa to ofﬁce.

I could not look in the face of my gal

have survived so many bloody battles. Ind
tell them that their labors and the sacriﬁce
of so many of our slain and wounded

the Union under the constitution, without
the eﬂusion of another drop of blood. But
no peace can be permanent without Union.
As to the other subjects presented in the
resolutions oi the convention. I need only
say that I should seek in the. constitution
of the United States, und the laws framed

GEN. GEORGE B. NICOLELLAN.
Since the rluys of Andrew Jackcon no
man has taken such} hut hold on 'tho pbp
{ular limrt as Guneral McClellan. This can
rbe' mainly ucco'nnted' for in {our wayn:
,Fll’ﬁl, the'exnlted and irrepxoaohablo pri
rvnto and public character 0 our candidate ;
muonllly, the bitter and unjustiﬁable gorse
cm‘mn waged. ﬁfainst him by a pro 33am
and imbecile Av ministration, which it al
ways calculated to enlist thh sympathy ol'
the m. es; thirdly. the reckleunm of
life angxtmvngunce orthe party in power
l who have control of the men and means of
l the Nation ; nnd lastly, the unconstilution
nl and rymnnicnlﬁarta against the ' bu
and liberties ol‘the people by the Preﬂent
und his Cabin“: and the military “traps
‘ who do their bidding. \; _ ~ ’ '

desalted in the tuumplmnt elevation of
'Ge‘nmixnckmn m 1828. The changes in
.every direction are unpreCeGented in tho
unnals or our history as a ndion. The
people have become disgusted with the con
duct of our rulers. and are heartily Biol: of
the war nnd its attendmt horrors, and in
November next will show by their-vote:
that Abraham Lincoln has been weighed in
tho balance. and found rantings-that he
will no longer be permitted_to'dngruce the
Chair of Slate once occupied by the father
of his Country. 0 ' the Fourth of March
next, if he lives, Gigi-gt: B. _McClellan will
