Gen. Hancock was born in Montjgomry
county, Pennsylvania. His f;Lther, .who
was a native of the same count v, liartici-

became a lawyer of prominence. T
le date
of Geu Hancock's birth was Febru

1824. liis early education was received
at an academy at Xonistown, where he
spent the liist years of his youth. He
possessed, -as a school boy, those traits
which sometimes foretell future eminence.
Studious and thoughtful, he laid thie foun
datiops of a"great career.
Entering West Point at 16 he graduat

when General McClellan legan 1 is inef

that tlirectiu. His brigade took part iu
a number of skirmishes and partial eu

Williamsburg on the 5tbof May. It dis

cock assuming command and leading a
charge. This sharing the dangers of his
men was one of the features of his

on occasions when his presence was need
ed to encourage his troops, and both as
Brigudier-Geueral and Major-General he
gave his soldiers the iuspiritiug lAsson of

Hancock's coumgeaud skill could not alter
the decrees of Fate. He retired with, the
rest pf the Army of the Potomac f rom the
long-continued, -bloody and di.astrous
Seven Days' Fight; leaving Richmond in
the hands of her valiant defenders! but en
joying for himself the enviable conscious

During the progress of the battle General

iu the course of the time he became the
commander.
We next hear of Hancock at the groat

I He had command of the left centre of the
' Union army and before the close of the day
li was severely wounded. In consideration
of his services in these battles Congress vot-
:cd him a resolution of thanks.
It wis not until the opening of the cam-
paign of 1864 that his wounds allowed him
; again to see active service. Up to March of
that vear he was Vm sick leave, and was en
j . . .
! gaged in recruiting the second army corps.
With Hjc opening of the campaign he was
in the field under Gun. Giant and in com
mand of this corps. He was present at the
! battles of the Wilderness. Spottsylvania
J-Court' House, North Anna, ami the second
'-. battle ot Cold Harbor. He participated in
; the operations around Petersburg until June
! 19th, when he was once more compelled to
retire from service for awhile, owing to his
wounds breaking out anew.
j Gen. Hancock's last military command
j was an imjortant one. He was detached
' from the Armv of the Potomac on the 2(5th
l
J of November and was ordered to Washinjj
! ton.. In a short while he was placed at the
head of a corps of veterans numbering 50,
j 000. His headquarters were at Winchester,
Va., and his intire command, in which was
included-the Army of the Shenandoah, num
bered 100,000 men. The surrender at Ap
poniattox however, made further service in
the field unnecessary.
He was still at Winchester when the as
sassination of President Lincoln occurred.
Summoned to Washington, wliich city was

made every effort, consistent with his posi
tion and duties, to save the life of his vic
tim convicted under martial law. Mrs.
Surratt and her companions were executed
on July 8, 1863. When Mrs. Surra tt's daugh
ter, at his suggestion, endeavored to reach
the ear of President Johnson to intercede
for her inother'sjlifc, General H uicock assist
ed her to the extent of his al ijity in carry
ing out her wishes. But in vain. He hoped
tor a pardon for Mrs. Surratt through the
prayers of the unfortunate woman's daugh-
erand on the clay of the execution he sta
tioned mounted soldiers on the line from the
White House to the Arsenal grounds, where
the execution was to take place, so that if
the pardon were granted even at the last
moment, he should know it promptly and
in time to snve Mrs. Surratt from the halter:
No Messenger of mercy came, and the indel
ible disgrace was attached to the govern-
mcnt of the United State3 of hanging a
woman innocent of crime.
Later in July General Hancock was trans
ferred to the middle department. His head
quarters were at Baltimore. He remained
in command of this department until July,
1866. when he was put in command of the
denartment of Missouri. About the same
time he was Made Major-General in the reg
ular army, having already been breveted to
the same grade for "gallant and meritorious
service at Spottsylvania." While in the
West he conducted several campaigns
against hostile Indians in the Indian Terri
tory. Kansas and Colorado. Hisulsequent
commands have been those o'. Lo dsiana and
Texas, of Dakota and of the department of
the East the last his present charge, with
headquarters on Governor's Island.
He was commissioned Major-General of
Volunteers in the month of Novemlwr, and
at the head of his division he participated
in the battle at Fredericksburg on December
13th ; here he was slightly wounded. He
shared in the defeat of Hooker at Chancel
lorsvilte in 1863, and his division did effect
ual service in staving the ill-fortunes of the
day by protecting the rear of the retreating
Union troops. In the mont h of June of the
same year he was assigned to the command
of the second army corps.
We have shown above the record that
General Hancock has made for himself as
a soldier, but it is not as a soldier that the
Presidency of the United States will lie

forward in emergencies 4u defence of a

he repaiied the wronjjj that Pease had

The Final Scene,
In the Cincinnati Contention when Hancock
Wat dominated.
Uenry Grady to Atlanta Constitution
Uxcixxati, June 24, 12 m. The scene
preceding and attending Hancock's nomi
nation was indescribable. There was a
lull after Pennsylvania changed ou the
vote, and it was thought that all was over,
wheu Wisconsin arose and changed. After
that nothing more was heard for a full
half hour. Malcolm Hay got the chair
and carried Pennsylvania over solid aud
then there was a paudemoiiinm. Han
cock's banner, Iteming his likeness aud
the motto, "The civil law is supreme
the natural rights of person aud property
must be preserved," was brought aud
planted on the chairman's desk. The
Whole house rose and yelled and s'tonted.
The flags of the States were then taken
by the delegates and advanced to- the
center, nodding to the Hancock banner.
The Randall and Americas banners fol
lowed, until the front of the stage was a
waving wilderness of flags and streamers.
The bands struck up inspiring music.
For ten minutes the vast hail was like a
mad-house. Men raised umbrellas and
waved them, pressed over the reporters'
tables, utterly sweeping them to one side.
A desjterate struggle was taking place in
the, Indiaua delegation over the State flag.
It had remained plauted iu the midst of
the delegation, when two men seized it
and attempted to take it tojhe congress
of flags about the stage. . The delegates
fought over t'.te flag until it was tout to
pieces, but the remnants were finally car
ried off, aud the staff of the rag was hoist
ed in front, of the stage. The delegates
made a sally, recaptured the banner and
brought it back. A tight ensued iu which
several persons were carried out of the
delegation by the police. Dan Voorhees
stood by watching the struggle with tears
rolling down his face and many of the In
dianians wept as the sl.outs went on. The
Delaware banner of Bayard was never
moved from its place in the midst of the
Delawarcans and South Carolina's flag
jtvaved serene and undisturbed by the side
of the sad ami silent Hampton, who sat
guarding it with majesty ami dignity.
These two flags alone remained at their
posts. The Delawareaus were crushed
and depressed, and with the Indiaitians
were the only silent clump in the enor
mous tumult. Georgia attempted to
jchauge her vote, bnt a mw call of the
oil was demanded and quiet restored.
Ott the last call Indiaua voted for Hen
dricks amid furious pressure from all
sides, and adhered to the vote, although
besiged by scenes of people who pressed
tbr an uiiauimous vote. The Indianians
were pale and determined, and stuck to
their vote until the result was announced
aud it was seen that Hancock was nomi
nated. Then the agottv was over.
JOINING HANDS.
The culmination came, though, when
Kelly, representing Tammany, aud Fel
lows, representing anti-Tammany, shook
hands at the stand with the baud playing
"Auld Lang Syne." Fellows had just con
cluded wheu Kelly made his way to him
and took his hand. They remained with
hands clasped fcr several moments, the
body of the convention cheering heartily,
but several clumps remaining seated. As
Tammanv rose in a ImmIv in the rear of
the hall the New York delegates rose,
with the exception of Peckhnm aud half
i dozen, and the tw6 delegations had a
hearty hand shaking, and each side de
clared that it would vie with the other
in rolling up a majority, for the common
candidate. New Jersey promised 18,000
majority, and there was the greatest en
thusiasm iu all scenes.

New York, June 25. The Herald
says : "An undoubted and very great
benefit to the country is that the

that between Garfield and Hancock
voters may choose freely and safely,
according to their views of what is
the best policy, and with no fear that
the Union or any man's rights in the
country will be endangered by the
election of either."
The Times says : "It is a peculiarly
constituted party which sends rebel
brigadiers to Congress because of their
rebellion and which nominates a Un
ion general as its candidate for Presi
dent of the United States because of
! his loyalty." It considers the ticket
very common-place.
