Deep Bottom, on the north bank of

with Sheridan's cavalrv. at tacked and

road at Ream'a Station, thirteen miles
distant from, the establised lines of
the Union army at Petersburg. The
remainder of the troops held their

By withdrawing troops from the m-
trenchments at Petersburg, and send
ing thorn round to the railroad, the
enemy concentrated in bin front, soon
outnumbering the Union forces throe
to one. Here Hancock fought anoth
er heroic fight at close quarters, his
horse being shot from under him in the
assault. Two months later he fought
i . . . i
the battle of Boyd ton Road, where he
captured a thousand prisoners and
several stand of colors. - i '
At the request of Secretary Stanton.
and by order of the President he was
ordered to Washington to recruit nVd
command an army corps of , veterans
to consist of 50,000 men. While the
recruiting was in progress he Was sum
tuoned to the front,: and assigned to
the command of the Middle 1 3Iilitarv
Division, with headquarters' , at Win -Chester,
VV' A force "ot 35,000, men
as organized for the purpose; of mov
ing upon Lynchburg in case Lee should
retreat to 'hat point, or to embark on
transports to join Gen.1 Sherman on
the Southern sea coast in case ' Lee
should fall back on Danville; but the
surrender of Lee and the capture of
Richmond removed the necessity o
any such movements. This, the' last
of his active military service," while
marked with" no shock of opposing
forces, wa, nevertheless, destined t
bo a period of great excitement to
himself, as well as the country, j While
his headquarters were still in the Val
ley of the Shenandoah, in April, 1865
the conspirators against the life of the
President and his Cabinet consumma
ted in part, their plot, and Presiden
Lincoln was murdered. Secretary Sew
ard was nearly stabbed to death, and
the country was panic-stricken jby the
evidence of a deep laid plot to destroy
j the government by the abominated
method ,of secret'and concerted j assas
sination. A feeling of universal fear
and distrust prevaded the North! Hap
pily, t'lis feeling was only temporary
but wiiiie it lasted it was univeria
and real. tjcn. tiancocK was sum
nioned to Washington. The extent of
the conspiracy became known, and
the measures taken by him to confront
the secret peril were thorough, and con
tributed greatly to allay the terror.
General ilancock remained in Wa.-ih
ington, by order of President Johnson,
during the days of the trial of the con
sprators. and until after their execu
tion. Much interest has been exhib
ited in this part of his service, and the
prominence of his position has, in the ;
minds of some made his connection
with the execution of the prisoners
more than is true. : It most be remem
bered that with the details oi the guar
ding and care ot the prisoners be bad
nothing whatever to do. A military
commission, ordered by the President,
tried the prisoners, found them guilty,
conderaued some of them to death,
and the findings of tbe military j eonrt
were approved by the President. It
wa unquestionably to be lamented
that they should have been thus tried.
The conviction of the gnilty could in
all probability have been effected by
a jury. But tlie nation was in a bloody
struggle for existence, and martial law
prevailed. H was particularly

865. Gen. Ilancock was assigned to
he command of Uie Middle Military
Department, with headquarters at Bal
iiuore, and in August, 1866, tovthe
command of the Department of Mis
souri. In the latter capacity his ser.
vices were ol trreat imnortenoe in
larmoniziug the conflicting elements in
Missouri, arising out of the occupa
tion of the State by troops under the;
State authorities; and the presence ol
the men of the. Southern Confederacy,
who had hist returned to their homes
While still in the Southwest he wa
uso engagetMii a' campaign against
hostile Indians in Kansas and Celora-
lo. At this time it was intended to
place him in command of one of the
military. districts of the South created
under the Reconstruction act of Con
gress. By remaining in the field and
w 17
trkiug liopartin political affairs, Han
cock, although conservative in his views
had won the good will alike pf Repub
licans and Democrats, 'the desire to
retain it was more invitinz to htm
than tlie opportunity to wield the un
limited power which the . suggested as
signment presented, Hence bo aoughf
to be excused from such duty in the
South., and at first bis inclinations
i - . ' - . .
were respected., Subsequently, how
ever, in opposition , to, his Wishes, in
the latter part of 1867 he was assign
ed to the command of the Fifth Mill
tary District, comprising the State of
Louisiana aud Texas, with headquar
ters at New Orleans, Congress had
invested such commanders with des
potic powers, and it was easy tor them
to issue military mandates in the de
cision of all important questions, civil
or military, involving the rights an 1
interests of citizens, instead of follow
ing. the more circuitous but more con
stitutional course of civil methods. In
this crisis he was called upon to de
cide whether in his administration be
would use the civil authorities or, dis-
cading them, resort to military com
missions for the trial of all offences.
His predecessor in this command had
construed the Reconstruction .acts to
give the commander' f that district
absolute power in the Stales of Louis
iana and Texas. Hancock held to the
supremacy of the civil over the military
authority. .
J Gen. Hancock remained in command
of the Fifth Military District only about
six months, and it was at hu own re
quest that he was relieved. In a letter
to a friend in Congress, announcing
that' the time had come when he had
to choose between obedience to wba
- i .
be regarded as wrong, or resignation
ho closed with-the noble senfmeht
"Nothing can intinwidate ma from do
ing' what I believe to be honest and
right." On the 27th of February. 1868
he applied to be relieved from hia com
mand, and was shortly afterward as
signed to the command of tlie Military
Division of the Atlantic, wheie. with
the exception of, three years in com
mand of the Division of Dakota, be has
since remained.
