From the Sparta Eagl',

Mr.. Hanchett has been faithful and
able Republican in Congress, attending
strictly TO his official duties and disregard
ing the many applications by politicians
for office. He is an Administration man,
to the core, and cordially approved the
platform recently laid down by the Pres-
dent. Mr. Hanchett has been able, faith
full and true, with determined will to i'm
part the greatest good to the greatest mum
Der. He has few enemies.

From the La Crosse Republican.

After Col. Stoddard returned from the
National Capitol last spring. he addessed
us letter, under date of June 5th, 1862,
urging US to support Mr.. Hanchett's
claims for reelection, with the assurance
that we 'would never regret it." The
feeble condition of Col. Sttodard's health,
and the urgent request he has hitherto
made upon US 10 support Mr.. Hanchett,
are ample reasons for our choice of Mr..
Hanchett, apart from acknowledg d
qualifications for the office.

From the Eau Claire Free Press
Union Nomination for Congress.


The Union Convention which assem-
bled at Sparta on the 25th inst, placed
Hon. Luther Hahchett in nomination for
the Sixth District. His denomination
was made with great unanimity, and
hence we conclude that his straight-for
ward support of the Administration and
the vigorous war policy which he has adj
vocated, ana entirely Acceptable to the
loyal voters of this district. There can
be no question about the policy of return
ing n man to Congress from this district
who has Congressional exporince and
who is influential at our National Capitol.
Of Mr.. Hanchett's ability there is no
room 10 doubt; and his course in Con-
gress has been such as to give strength
to the Government and courage to those
who are about to enter the field of conflict.
Mr.. Hanchett's acts, during tho trying
times Of the last session of Congress, are
all recorded upon tho right side of every
important question, and it is generally
coceded that bis speech upon tho policy
Of conducting the war against the rebels,
Was one of the best delivered. Whatever
may be the trivial complaints which have
been uttred heae and there against him,
on account of Il seeming neglect, we are
sure that all loyal men will unite in give
ing Mr.. Hnchett hearty and cordial
support.
Prescott journal. [volume] (Prescott, Wis.) 1861-1871, 1862-10-15

that an opposition of some kind will be
brought out, but there is not the slightest
grounds to suppose that it will have suf-
ficient force to endanger Mr.. HANcHETT's
election. He has been tried, and his
unanimous denomination proves that his
constituents arc we'll satisfied with his
ability to represent them ably and hon
estly.

Congressman.

Hon. Luther Hanchett has been nom
mated by both the Sparta and La Crosse
conventions, rs the Union candidate for

nomination was in both. cases made u
unanimous, and we think there is no doubt
but what he will be elected by large
majority.

During thunder storm in Philadelphia last
Monday afternoon death occurred from light
ming. A young man named Victor Edgar with
his sister and some friends, had taken a plea
sure jaunt. After enjoying the afternoon in
the shade, the shower overlook Them and they
sought shelter at the Wissahiccon landing hotel.
Young Edgar, was standing in front of a house
by the boat landing. While standing with his
foot upon bench and his back against q spread
ing willow tree, vivid fash Of lightning cleft
the air. The bolt decended like red hot jaye-
lin. It struck him upon the head, tearing his
cap in twain, splitting his coat and pantaloons
as straight from collar to heels as though a
knife had cut them, and bursting out his shoes
by direct lateral pressure. The bolt grazed the
tree, ploughing small grove directly down the
trunk What was remarkable when he fell a
of portion of his shirt adhered to the bark
Of the tree, into which it was wedged-
He had been invited by female in the house,
while standing there to enter and take shell
ter but declined the offer. Thirty seconds
after he was a corpse, hurled five feet from the
tree against which he was leaning by this sub
tile invisible agency. When taken up his
clothing smelled as clothing does when scorch-
ed in ironing. The probability is that he died
without pang.

The Philadelphia Inquirer gives the follow

~ to give up the White House and the
ps,nnnkev river as base Of operations, the
former being the depototsupplies to his army:
First. It's distance from the main body OF
y. army: il was nearly twenty miles off, and
.'though the Richmond and York River Rail
Sooa offered rapid facilities for sending sup
n,ss its very distance required large separate
sarce Of at least one full division, TO guard it.
Second, It's openness &c attacks, as evinced

~ e . determined movement to crush his right
aor}, and secure the very valuable commissary
nn3 artillery stores worth seven millions, which
had been placed and were continually receiv-
ing there.
Third. The greater value Of the new base on
the James river
Fourth. The new disparity Of numbers, At
Ter making known the increasing numbers Of
the enemy at Richmond, and receiving no ade-
ouate reinforcements, he proceeded to do the
best he could without them,
