REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE . FOR AUDITOR GENERAL,
MAJ. GEN. J. F. I:CARPRANFT
Our candidate for Auditor General is too
well-known to require at this late day any
extended newspaper mention. The name
of GOll. llartrnnft3e familrnrto the country,
and in Pennsylvania it has long since be
come a household word; Asa slight recog
nition of his service during the rebellion he
,Was elected in 1865 by his fellow-citizens
Auditor General of the - State, a pox
sition 'of great responsibility and one
requiring _ of a mothodi,
cal mind, like that possessed by Geo. Hart
ranft. _Having served the 'public in if
civil capacity as faithfully and fearlessly as
lie served his country on,the field of battle,
li.s fellow-citizens have fheaccond time
placed, him in nomination for this high and'
responsible position.
I.n 1865 there was issued from-this office a
small pamphlet containing 's' brief record of
the public services bf Gen: Hartranft. The
facts therein set _forth constitute a correct
Inegraphical sketch of our
.pandidato, Sitid
wo hero reproduce them, abridged, in-order
'that pur citizens may the more easily, keep
greenin_the . ir memories the services of
. ono
of Ponasylvania's favorite sons.
Major General John T'rederick Eitrtranft
is u native of; New_ Hanover township,
Dlontkomery county, Pennsylvania, and was
born December 16, 1930. - He graduated at
Union College, ut Schenectady, New York,
-in-1853i and - was employed as n. civil engineer
for some time. He assisted in running the
line of Mauch Chunk .and White Haven
-Rai lroad r wli ich-has-since-been -constructed
. and had charge of the working party who
surveyed the route of the proposed' railroad
from Chestnut Hill to Doylestown or New
Hope.
In 1854, Sheriff Boyer, of Montgomery
county, secured his services as Deputy, and
be continued in the- Sheriff's offiiie in that
capacity during the rcmainde of Mr.
Boyer's term of office, and the whble of that
of Sheriff-Rudy, who was elected in 1855,
and continued till 1858.- In this position ho
became acquainted with We people of his
ns tive county and acquired a general repu
tation among all who met'him as a proMpt,
careful and efficient business man.
Having pursued the study of the Jaw the
necessary length of time he was admitted
to practice at c the bar of Montgomery county
in the fall of 1800.
He was elected Colonel Of the'Firet Regi
ment of Montgomery Cbunty Militia in
1859, having previously - been Lieutenant
and Captain.. . '
The call to arms in April, 1861, when,
after Sumpter was fired upon, President
Lincoln issued his first appeal to the hero
ism and devotion .of the' people, found
Holonel Hartranft a
_Democrat, attached to
the political principles in which he bad been
reared. But it found. him none ...the, less
a patriot. From the day in which-he took up
arms in defence of his country, ho laid aside
all ideas and theories of partizanship and
became alone a heroic soldier, striving. al--
ways_tu do his duty, where - v - 6F and when
ever that might call him to action.
Ho lost no time in tebdering the services
of his militia regiment to Gov. Curtin
having visited Harrisburg for that puipose/
on Tuesday the.l6th of April: It. was as
piomptly.accepted, and became, the Fourth
Regiinent of Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Rendezvousing at Harrisburg 011 the 20th,
it was
.speedilymrmeq, equipped, and sent.
forward to Perryville, in Maryland, thence
to Annapolis, and finally to Washington.
The term of service of hie regiment had
expired, and it was on the homeward march
when the Battle of Bull Rim took place: The
forward movement of our army to meet the
rebels, in that first grand encounter attracted
Hartranft's attention and•he determined-not"
to be left behind when, fur the first time,
his country needed his services in actetill
battle.' lie offered himself to Gen.
McDowell to serve in any capacity In, the.
approaching struggle where ho could be use- ,
lul. The General'
,remarked that it was
scarcely. "regular" to, cicitio, but Hint his ap
preciation of Col. Hartrlnft's noble conduct
was so high that he. would assign him to ,
duty on the Staff of ui.. Franklin, . who
commanded the Staff. of
to which' the 4th
Regiment had been attached. Col. Frank-'
lin, in his report, 'moire of his services with
warm words of commendation,•:and - General
McDowell expressed regret afterwards that
he had not done justice to his valuable ex
ertions by especially mentioning . him in his
official report of 'the battle. - • '
General:Cameron, then Secretary of- War,
•also referred with high ecomiums„to his
conduct on this occasion, and..it formed a
gallant commencement for a grand career.
Colonel Hartranft had no intention of re
tiringfrom the service 'at , the close of the
three months' campaign. , A week before
the: battle of Bull Run he 'bad 'apc ,i ll i ed to,
•and obtained permission from t ie. lir De
partment
to recruit a' throb year ' regiment
He lost no time in coinmenettig its organi
zation, Gov. Curtin having added hie au
thority to do so, aid . on the 16th of Nevem-,
bore it 'was mustered into service at
Harrisburg, with Hartranft As Colonel and'
became the Fifty-First Regiment Forthsyr-,
vania.Volunteera. .
, .
This regiment was aEsigned to Burnsido's
Army, which- was then, organizing Lt 'An
-napolie for sorviee. on. the coast of North.
Carolhoi. ' It became a part of .Ron O's bri
gade, hnd participated in the whole 'of
I.3urpil.ido's campaign. The expedition loft
Annapolis early in Jamiary, '1862, - and,on
tho 10th of the following month 'Col. Riot...!
ranft led his mon up throu g h swamp , which,
thorebela had supposed impassable; to storm

lima arduous in the extreme. From Fred
ericksburd to the old battle ground of Bull
Run, the movement'was almost a continu
ous struggle, and when tliffsdeond battle on
that renoWbed locality took place, Colonel-
Hnrtranft found himself posted on almost the
same ground- that he- had fought - upon in
Julty.of the preceding year. His-regirnent
-was posted-on -the- loft -- of - the - Centerville

action his regimeht lest -eight killed and

Again at Chantilly Hartranft met the
enemy, and again added flaw laurels,._to_bis_
I fame. But these struggles did not over
conic the enemy. Tired, foot-sore, and ex
- bawled as our men were, they took up the
lino of march once more, on the 7th of Sep
teniber, and joined the march of the Grand
Army, again under McClellan, 'up through
Maryland, to South Mountain, and Antie
tam. The engagement at South Mountain,
though apparently but a prelude to the
groat°, c..ootcst - n - t - Aiitietam, was distinct in
its character. It was fought on Sunday,
September 14th, and its result transferred
the grand battle from the i,ittlo mountain

keel. Hartranft commanded his regiment
as usual, leading it to the attack up the side
of the mOuntain with his accustomed bravery.
That night our' men occupied the important
position they had carried, sleeping on the
summit of the hill, whence the ground slop
ed away to the valley of the Antietam.
Two days occupied in shhrt movements,
and the morning •of Wednesday, Septent :
her 1, th, found our army .confronting the
rebel host. Soon the intrepid Hooker, on
the right, was engaged. On the lett Burn
side waited.orders till nearly noon and then
was directed to storm the enemy's position
on the opposite bank of the stream, Crosaing
his men over the narrow stone bridge that.
spanned the Creek id his front. The posi
tion occupied by the rebels was ono of won
derful natural strength. The road on the
East bank wound up_netir the 'Etream_for_
somadistance — before reaching the bridge,
and troops marching on itat this,point were
exposed to a terrible flank fire. -On-crossing
the bridge it mot an , libruptitteep bank; and
deflected, nearly at right angles,, , up and
down the West bark: The bridge was
therefore entirely commanded by the rebels.
They had hadJunplogime for . p - repartition,
and their artillery was posted to sweep the
causeway from end to end, while Our rifle
men, screened from view behind trees and.
cocks, or in well prepared rifle pits, waited
the attack, to open a most destructive fire.
Thus nested were the enemy.
But tile orders came to "Take the Bridge."
At about 11 o'clock Burnside ordered- an.at-'
tack. First two regiments essayed. 'to cross
-this bridge of death. They struggled for
ward a little distance, terribly cut up by the
fire in flarik, .paused, staggered, and came
back. It seemed impossible that model
men could cross by po terrible, path and .
'Again the attempt wee made by fresh
troops, And , again they.. were replihied by the

14th of June. In. a day 'or-two they went
up the Yazoo river, to Haines' Bluff, and
thence across country,- operating principally
in the rear of Vicksburg, to cover Grant's
siege. .The'campaign was brief but very
severe. Th&mnrches were frightful. Amid
these severities-Col. Hartranft was prostrat
ed by it sun-stroke, as wore many of the
mrn. But he remained on duly,. havinglor.

On the Fourth of July, after the glorious.
consummation of 'Grant's operations ; the
surrender of _Pemberton and his garrison,
the movement•against Johnson at Jaelcann
commenced, and on the 10th skirmishing

'from that city to Cincinnati. At that' city
Col. Hartranft, still very much prostrated by
his-attack in Mississippi, received a sick
leave and returned to his home in Norris
town, to recover-his shattered - en_ergies.
'Miring partially recovered, -ho left again
for the field of action in October, and on the

•• Late in March, 1865, the nation was
'waiting patiently for news of the surrender
or capture of Richmond, when.st was start
led by the report that Led had aesumod.the

A few hours later, and the report was con
firmed, but with the cheering and; encour
aging. addition, that our troops had 'most
brilliantly repulsed the attack; in ono of nib
hardest engagements, for its duration, of the
war; that this magnificent feat had-been
performed•by a Division composed of now
regiments, only recently' recruited "from

and just sent into -the 13,e1d. To organize
and discipline them no better man could
have Been selected than Hartranft, and his

HORATIO SEYMOUR.-
To the Edifor of the Philadelphia Press.
.—Sin.: Every soldier will distinctly remeni
her that fearfully depressing influence the
election of Horatio Sepriour as Governor
of Now York had upon the Union Army.
Tlfo army of the Potomac wero then en
camped on the Rappahannook, and the gal
lant Hooker was reorganizing the shat
tered corps after the first attack upon Fred
ericksburg opposite. The enemy's camp
was full of life and joy, judging from their
taunting cheers, firing of cannon and bon
fires, when the news of Seymour's election
reached them. As they • wero elated, we
were clepressea. They, - saw ..

in thr -- Thriny, and many a -- iOldnefliPii - New
York was almost incited to open mutiny by
its outrageous and inconsistent denuncia
tions of Mr. Lincoln, his Cabinet and Con
gress. • The soldiers, especially the earlier
enlisted forces, NVere residing mn, taking a
'deep interest in the situation, and political
discussion sometimes ran high.' During
those.discussions we were often asked in a
confident, defiant tone and mariner, by
some of the Now York officers. and men,
"What are you going to do when Governor
Seymour calls his State troops homer —thOsr
suposing ha had that authority. Why such
it question was asked we sill too wdjl under
stood.' We know and felt that Seymour's
influence was - against end' the called for
which. we Were risking so much. We were
inconstant fear, and the enemy -were'full
of li - ope rind confidence that Seymour and'
others like hins.would yet cause same com
plication • resulting in a collision with the
General government, •during which they
would--win_the.day. This was afire in the

anxiety than the, rebels in front.. Never foK

the-North voila/ fear, and never for a single
day; did wo feel entirely safe until the grand
Republican victory in 1864/ which sent,
Governor Seymour where he could do us no

true soldier inexpressible relief and joy.
Twenty victories in the field could hardly
