A. K. RHEEM,
Our Abolition cotemporaries speak of
GEARY as the " hero of many well-fought
battles." If it would not take too much
time and labor on their - part, the public
would like to know the names of some of
the many well-fought battles."—Can
easion.
It would require considerable time and
labor to give anything like a proper account
of the military services of Gsse. GIcARY and
this we will not undertake at present, but as
you were only inquiring for the names of
the engagements we will give you the infor
mation. In Mexico he fought gallantly at
Cerro Gorda., Chapultepee and some less im
portant battles and was made Colonel for
gallant conduct. In the late rebellion ho
fought almost continuously from the time
he entered the service to the close of the
war. On the 16th of October, 1861 with but
ono thousand men he defeated a rebel force
of five thousand under Ashby ~and Evans,
at Bolivar. In this action Gen. Geary was
wounded. He commanded the advance of
thelrmy in the movement of the Shenan;
doali in the spring of 1862 and participated
in almost all the skirmishes and battles
fought in the valle:;, and won his star there
by his brave deeds. At Cedar Mountain on
the 26th of June 1862, Gen. Geary was wound
ed twice—slightly in the left foot and se
verely in the right arm. On the second of
December following he defeated the rebels
at Charlestown mid captured Winchester
the day following. He fought in the bloody
and disastrous battle at Fredericksburg and
at Chancellersville he led the 2nd division
of the 12th Corps in the very thickest of
the fight 'and came off the field with a
wound in the breast, from which in: has not
yet recovered and most likely never will
recover. At Gettysburg, after participat
ing in the action on the two previous days,
he fought on the third on Culp's hill, in
that " seven hours and a quarter of despe
rate fighting" that forever destroyed the
prestige and power of Lea's hitherto invinci
ble hordes an.: gave to the Nation the first
gleam of certain triumph.
Is this enough to prove our Governor
that is to be, a "hero of many well fought
battles?" If it isnWplease consult the 'rec
ords of Grant's Chattanooga campaign and
Sherman's march to the Sea. His Divis
ion led by himself fought the battle Of
Wauhatchie. It was also the only one of
the corps that participated in those of
Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge and
Ringgold. There is no need, nor have we
space, even to name the many battles be
tween Chattanooga and Atlanta in which
Gen. Geary bore himself like the gallant
soldier and true patriothe is. From Atlanta
he marched with Sherman to Savanah and
when the army then turned its face to the
North in triumph, the Commander of the
"White Star" division led the way and
fought through those engagements which
finally crushed-out every vestige of armed
rebellion on the coast.
Here is more than enough to show that
all that GEARY'S most earnest friends say
of his merits as a soldier is, but faint praise
for the services he has rendered his country.
His son, a veteran soldier before he was
nineteen years old fell at Wauhatchio, the
free will offering of his patriot father, to
his imperilled country. GEARY hears on
his own person SEVEN wounds received whilst
battling for the maintenance of our free in
stitutibns and our laws. And Yet politicians
want to know the names of " AMC" of his
battles. In order that you may have some
comparison by which you can remember it,
'We will state that Geary hue fought in more
battles than' the number of representatives
of the Democratic 'Flirty, in both branches
Of the National Congress ; has been wound
ed oftener than the'dam'e party have elected
Governors outside of the Confederacy since
the war began and has more claims upon the
respectind .confidence; of the people than
all the politicians of that party Combined.
The, appearance r of Maj. Gen. Geary in
the line of Precession at Philadelphia
elicited the rnost :unhounded onthusiasra.'
He rode at, the head of the veterans who
had in. charge the State flags. , His pre r sence
was the signal of the most uproarious cheer
ing, all •along . the line of processioiii. At
many points the 'crowds of , soldiers ,and
citizens who surrounded the hero ,stopped
the pro,cession of the !morph., At, Sixth and
OheSnut streets, the General could scarcely
keep his.saddle, so closely was . , he, besieged
by hands : which had carried,riftes ,14}4 ; Intup

Wo do not publish the following article
because we wish to place the Copperheads of
the North in any lower contempt
„than they .
have 'already sunk, but to allow, tho venom.
that still rankles in their wriggling bodies.
This article is' copied approvinglyb3i the
Warren Ledger, of Juno,l3th, tbeergan of
the Clymer Democracy of Warren *County,
Pennsylvania, which declares him to be the
candidate of the " JohnsOn Union Democ
racy of the Key Stone State, in 'opposition
to the Radical Disunion candidate, General
Geary"the soldier who so ably lend the
" Boys in Blue' victoriously on almost
every battle-flold of the rebellion ; a• Demo
crat who dared to defend Freedom in Kan
sas against the ruffians of the South, who
were urged on by that model patriot, James
Buchanan. The only sin that Gen. Geary's
enemies charge him with is that he loved
Freedom and the Union better than Democ
racy and slavery. The issue cannot be
doubtful in such a contest." Read the article,
and pass it to your neighbor. Wo think any
man who has the least self-respect will spurn
all connection with such a party :

THE ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN. We
did thank God for calling Lincoln home. If
Lincoln is in heaven, as Abolitionists say,
he is better oil' than ho was in Washington,
beset by thieves, Abolitionists, army con
tractors, 61E0o-seekers and gaping listeners
to his smutty jokes. As a friend of Lincoln
we thank God or calling so groat and good
a man home - beTOre be me-dis
gusted with the Annas, the Janes, the Thad
deuses, the Benjamins, the Charles, and
others of their leaders of the God and mor
ality party.
We thank God for calling 'Lincoln into
the presence and company of Democrats, as
he is if in heaven. The poor President suf
fered enough from being with Abolitionists
On earth, and we thanked God for calling
him beyond their roach or influence hero or
hereafter.
Whatever is is right. God( who rules us
all, wanted Lincoln removed—He made
Booth his agent; no one but God is to blame
fur Lincoln's death. God is never to blame;
we, who are Christians, should thank him
for everything ; we do so thank Him ; he
who does not thank God, is no Christian ;
those who assail us are no Christians.
We believe the country is better off now
than when Lincoln was alive.
We believe More in statesmanship than in
nigger songs, or in humorous yarns in time
of war.
We believe Lincoln was a mere man of
putty in the hands of traitors and thieves,
known latterly as Abolitionists.
We beliktve God saw that he was not use
ful, even it' ornamental, and removed him
to make room for a better man.
We believe Johnson is a better man than
Lincoln—if he had not been. surely the great
Republican party would not have gone out
or lb" " —ndidate for the Vice
Presidency, when they had so many good,
pore, honorable statesmen in the North I
We believe the country would be better
off to-day, if every Republican and Aboli
tion traitor, meddler, sycophant, apologist,
traitor, or tool of traitors, were in the bosom
of Abraham.

We bClieve, further, that the Abolition
party is going to the devil, literally, and we
cure not how quick.
And we will further believe that " Brick"
Pomeroy has no more true friends in the
country than Lincoln ever had—that we do
not care the snap of a finger for the good or
ill opinion of all the Abolition editors in the
land—that we shall edit this paper just as
we see fit, and do what not one of ow' as
saihints dare do—tell the truth without lear
or favor.
The Mobile Register was among the fore
most of the Southern journals in 'firing the
Southern heart' for Secession and treason:
others were drawn or hurled into the cur
rent : The ReyiNter aided to,,,jmpel that cur
rent. Its editor his lately paid a visit to
Chicago, where he was welcomed by a "Cen
tral Committee . ' of 'ardent. Donwersas"
with such fervor that he could not easily
comprehend that he lied passed the bounda
ries of the Confederacy ; and he thus writes
thence to his paper:
almost feel its if I. were in Ramldom
when I hear these gentlemen talk. If pos
sible, they are more zealous and uncompro
mising in their hostility to Radicalism than
a•e are at home.--Tney sustain the Presi

The details of the great lire in Portland,
- Maine, add to the Immensity of the destruc
tion. One half the city is destroyed, nearly
all thii , 4rinesg portion being included. All
the bank 4, newspaper offices, jewelry estab
lishments, dry goods stores and telegraph of
fices, eight churches, and other public build
ings, and the majority of the business houses
line,. been destroyed by this terrible visita
tion. Over fifty buildings were blown up in
the hope of making a space between the lire
and the other buildings, but the effort was
useless. It is estimated that about two thou
sand buildings were destroyed, involving a
loss of ten million dollars. Two thousand
families were rendered houseless, losing near
ly every valuable they had possessed,, and
are now dependent on the generosity of those
who were fortunate enough to escape the
sweeping disaster. Two thousand tents for
shelter to the houseless were forwarded by
the United States authorities from Boston,
and the people of that city are forwarding
supplies of provisions and clothing. The
total loss by the lire it is thought will be ful
ly ten millions of dollars. Our readers will

THE JOHNSON CLUB
The Quincy Whig publishes the r
, cal of
the Johnson Club foia National Convention,'
and adds:
They call this tho l Jtandall Bread4i.nd
Butteri:Ulub, and the- Weakest 0 . 1111 peliti
cal humbugs. The ;Sbin has beep throWn
and drawn; and tha'fiSh caught, and John,
eon has gOt thein. v. Do thole gentlemert
expect to seduce the people, by high•sotind 7 ,
ing words to abandon the Union organiza
tion, and oomo to their assistance? Do they
imagine that they can influence men already .
as thoroughly educated in the issues of the
day as themselves to make a diversion in
favor of the rebel Party, by uniting - with
them? Do they think for a moment that the
intelligent , liberty-loving,. trlason-hatirig
portion of our citizens cannot penetrate the
thin gauze of deception with which -their
real object is veiled? If they lay that
"flattering unction to the souls," they will
be badly disappointed. If the people ever
were decided, firm and determined, it is new.
If they were ever fully alive to the grave
responsibilities resting upon them, it is at
this juncture of national affairs. They do
not and will not forgive the mon who have
drenched our land in blood, and brought
on us a stupendous debt. And they will
never give countenance to a faction, which,
if encouraged, will only tend to assist rebels
in office—beyond question the aim and de
sign of these malcontents. Perhaps the
- movement--will take-from us-a few unprin-_
cipled office-seekers ; but the Union party
will be the cleaner and sweeter when they
leave it. The great mass of Union men
throughout the country are above such se
ductions, and will stand firm as a rock, and
surely triumph.
A year from now, wo predict, such men
as A. W. Randall, J. R. Doolittle, 0. H.
Browning, Edgar Cowan, Chas. Knapp and
Samuel Fowler will have passed from the
memory of the country; and they have good
reason to hope and pray that they may be
forgotten.
A Bouquet to Gen. Geary.
Along the entire line of the procession
at Philadelphia General Geary was greeted
with prolonged cheers„waving of handker
chiefs, etc. On Arch 'gtreet a number of
little girls wended their way through the
'vast crowd, and approaching the General,
one of their number, little Miss Kate Elliott,
aged about six years, presented the General
with a bouquet, on the wrapper of which
was inscribed the following:
" From my father's grave.
TO OHNERAL J. W. GEARY."
Little Kate's father (Captain Thomas
Elliott) was,,Jwistant adjutant general on
General Geary's staff. Ho was killed near
Atlanta, Ga., by the rebels, while in the
discharge of his duties in action in that
place. The Captain was looked upon by the
(.oteral with as much affection as ho be
stowed upon his , own son, ono of the gallant
braves who died defending his Country's
honor. The two now rest Mourned by all
who knew them.
A HEART JEWEL
Great men rise, full, and are soon forgot
ten. The names of few, indeed, will be per
petuated in history, and kept above the
dark pit of forgetfulness. Among that few
will be the name of AunAnnat LINCOLN,
whose memory will be greon in leaf and
perpetual in blossom through coming ages.
Ilis memory cannot die, for his greatness is
embalmed in his goodness. Carrying a
Iku,clon Caro and ranyumillilllty grouter
than ever rested upon human shoulders,
he still had time for sympathizing with the
afflicted, and consolation for the be: caved.
The following letter, written at a time of
the greatest national anxiety, will be re-rend
with. interest, and awaken a recollection of
ninny like acts :
EXECUTIVE MANSION,WASHINGTON
November 21, 1864. f
MADAM have been shown on the files
of the War Department a statement of the
Adjutant General of Massachusetts, that
you are the mother of five sons who have
died gloriously on th 6 field. of battle. I feel
how weak and fruitless must be any words
of mine which should attempt to beguile
you 'from - the loss so overwhelming; but I
can not refrain from tendering to you the
consolation that may be found in the thanks
of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may as
suage the anguish of your bereavement, and
leave you only the cherished memory of the
loved and lost, and the solemn pride that
must he yours to have laid so costly a sac
upoo time altar of froodom.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully,
A. LINCOLN.

Clymer and the Reserves
In the Senate, on the 12th of April, 1861,

for arming the State was entered upon—the
same bill, be it remembered which author

It so happened that just before the assem
blage of the Senate that evening, intelligence
had been received by telegraph. that the
forces of the Government were engaged in
actual conflict with the insurgents at
Charleston. All the members were in pos.
session of the news, and each acted under it
as his principles and feelinda dictated.
• Upon the passage of each section of the
-bill the yetis and nays were required. Each
division produced a strictly party result.
Each Republican voted to put the State in a
condition of defense. Every Democrat
voted the other way. On every division Mr.
Clymer voted on the rebel side. His prin
ciples, his sympathies, and his ambition, all
took him that way.

—A terrible accident oeburrcd at Lafay
ette,, Ohio on the 2d inst. Mrs. Christo
pher Martin, in order to start a fire in her
cooking stove, applied a coal oil lamp which
was burning, but from which the chimney
had been removed. The result was an ex
plosion of the lamp, setting her clothes on
fire, and burning hoe body so badly that she
died in a short time. for husband was also
severely burned in attempting to save her.
Mr. Martin seems to have been born to ill
luck. Two years ago, while riding out
with the daughter of Rev. S. S. Serwiss, his
horses ran away, and throwing Miss S. upon
the hard pike, killed her instantly.
The LaCrosse Democrat, ono of the lead
ing papers of the Democratic party in Wis
consin, males a furious onslaught upon Gen-
Grant, of whom it speaks as follows :
.a.b, but Qta doe of Galena, your teeth
are gone, and as the ago of miracles has pass
ed away, you are not likely to grow a now
sot right away. What an aspiration for a
man by whose orders the torch swept the
fair land and beautiful Shenendoith ; Nero
fiddling, dancing, and revelling over the
wreck of burning, did not, ask another Rome
to satiate his passions, but General Grant,
who planned deeds, and causep by his agents,
horrors at which the civilized world stood
aghast, is dissatisfied because the war did not
last a year longer, that ho might have used
the persuasive agencies of the torch, rope,
pillage and murder upon portions of the
South still unvisited."
This infamous attack upon the character
of General Grant, also comprises all who
served under him, and is ono of the foulest
slanders ever uttered against American sol
diers. Notwithstanding this is the language
of leading Democratic journals and undoubt
edly represents the spirit of tno party as
manifested during and since tho war, there
aro persons in it whO expect to hoodwink
soldiers with professed friendship, and ca
jole them into an organization controlled by
such journals as those from which the fore•

Committee, at the time of its date, as fully

NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa., May 4,186 G.
Hon. H. Wilson, Otairmiin Military Com
mittee of the United States:
DBAn Stu: I trust you will pardon my
intrusion upon your time for a few minutes,
while I thank you for the valuable and effi
cient aid you have given, and arc still giv
ing in behalf of an act to equalize the boun
ties of soldiers and sailors who served during
the war of the rebellion; and to give ex
pression to some views of my own upon the
subject. Having been a soldier myself, the
services, the sacrifices, and. suffering of
the defenders of our national existence are
familiar to me They imperiled all to se,-.F
cure our land from the infamous crime of
treason, and the blighting influence of sla
very. Those who were the first to volunteer
their services, did so without the induce
ments of high bounties and high wages.
They came forward with hearts overflow
ing with loyalty, true patriotism and sacred
ness of purpose ; and undismayed, they per
severed through nil its trials and vicisitudes
to the termination or a long and bloody war.
The war is ended, and the glory and prowess
of our arms fully vindicated. AV ill not,
then, a grateful people award justice to those
who have defended and preserved their
liVes, their treasure and their nationality?
The claims of such are so pre-eminently just
and proper, that delay or neglect in their
prompt acknowledgement and payment by
Ite nation will not be excused, and will be
inexcusable.
aim constantly receiving corn MU nications
on the subject of "equalization of bounties,"
not only from soldiers and sailors of my own
State, but those of other States ; and my
opinion is frequently askea, with respect to
its justice and practicability.
As to its justice, I have uniformly replied
that in my opinion, no measure could be
more just or more worthy of the considera
tion of Congress ; and while the nation owes
'ouch to the commissioned officers, for their
untiring mental and physical exertions, anx
iety, courage and responsibility, they are in
a great measure repaid by the glory of the
success which has been obtained, and which
in a great degree attaches to their ;
but there is certainly something more sub
stantial than mere thanks and gratituftiitie
to the sterlir
ways presentin the deadly strife, anu w losci
self-sacriticing patriotism lies triumphantly
su-twined the glory and honor of the Re
public.
I feel that the country cannot do too
much for the patriotic services of those who
during the late rebellion have stood by the
Union in its perils ; and, if by any net of
mine, I could recompense those toil-worn
soldiers for their great sacrifices-and long
tried loyalty, I would consider it ft high
est privilege, and the greatest ae*'Zf my
As to the expediency or practie'i ebility, I
perceive that some members of Congress,
although professing a desire to do justice to
the soldiers, aro fearful of injuring the na
tional credit and of increasing taxation by
adding to the•national debt some $250,000,-
ouu or - $300,000,000,rte meet the claim for
the equalization of bounties. I admit that
this is a large sum, and I like j.c_seo mem
bers of Congress exhibit a due i.egard for
public economy ; and it is certainly highly
commendable to be cautious in imposing im
proper burdens, or increasing the national
indebtedness, which' will never be properly
aggregated until the just claims 'of its de
fenders are awarded to them. But what is
the. um of $250,000,000 to a nation like ours,
when every principle of justice demands it
to be paid to those who have rescued it from
anarchy and death ? - What would' this glo
rious Republic have been worth if its rebel
destroyers had not been mot and vanquished
by the soldiers who fought, and bled, and
three hundred thousand of whom fell in its
defence? It is but a trifle, when wo con
sider the vast resources of our country, and
look forward to the immense wealth which
in a few years it is destined to possess.
If the Government has not the money to
pay this demand for bounties to our soldiers,
why could not Congress authorize tho Sec
rotary of the Treasury to issue five per cont.
gold bonds for aU sums of $ 60 and upwards,
paypble in thirty years, making thorn the
"Soldiers Bounty Bonds, but receivable at
all times in payment ,for Government lands
at par. This would''oriable the soldier at
any Unto to,srhange his bonds for public
lands 'de any of the groat railroad lines
leadingtb the Pacific, or in any other place
where he might choose to • locate. This
would 'also cause the bonds at once to be in
demand. ; Those who did not choose to lo
cate in the Wostorn States, could sell their
bonds at par to thoso-who,wished• to do so.
Besides, if tho•soldiere should choose to
take up lands for their bonds, the country
would be certain that the great West was
being filled up with a population that loved
it and had stood by it in the hour of its
greatest need: Tho soldier-emigrant Would
feel, too, that•his homestead was the reward
of patriotism, and his posterity after him
would venerate it as: suoh.
• I think that in this way the country would
scarcely fool tho•payment of this debt to its
defenders. Tho publio lands 'would 'not
only thus Provo a sinking-fund, but 'the
debt will greatly aid in their rapid settle
mont.and devolopment=that in a few years
the bonds would be ontiroly - absorbed and
the country the bettor for it. It would add
but little to her taxation and would seareoly
diminish her resources. , But
