Just on the line Of Hancock. in a letter to
his father. says:
ave take rebel prisoners, more or less
every day. They say their last card is play

They also soy the Army Of the Cumberland

sbout right. We have never been whipped
yet-have done the hardest fighting that has
been done, and the hardships we have en-
dured no one knows but those who endured
them. We bore IL without murmur. When
We had nothing 10 eat oe did not grumble

how the soldiers hated them. II we had

Democrats! What did Stephen A. Douglas
say: "sscriGce all party, and stand by the
