Prescription of Gal

Administration Prescription OIL Gal-
liant Democratic Officer.
10 au article briefly recounting the services Of
the gallant and chivalrous Col. Cross, Of New
Hampshire (Who vas wounded eleven times In
different Virginia bittlee, and who fually gave
his life to the cause, in the battle Of Gettys-
burrg), the New York Argus says: sst.
"One act Of prescription done BY the Admins
tratIon In New Hampshire, is widely known
the dismissal Of Lieut.. Edgerly for voting the
Democratic ticket. In the case Of Col. Cross
the course Of the Republican authorities was
equally disgrsceiul, though not publicly known.
During The pendenoy of the State election last
fall, Col. Cross was home in New Hampshire,
invelided BY wound. He Was Induced TO ex-
hibit the battle-worn banner Of his regiment to
the RepublIcap Convention, and TO make q few
patriotic remarks to tnAt body. The Republic
an,press at once seized upon and misrepresented
his words, "a an Endorsement of their platform.
This Misrepresentation was set right by the
Democratic press Col. Cross was az this time
strongly recommended for promotion. He was
thereupon approached by the Republican State
committee, and, after d clear avowal that the
Administration was reserving the question OF
appointing q Bfigadier-General from New
] Hanpshife In order 10 see how officers in the
lliue ofsuoh promotion would conduct themselVee
III
In the election, the distinct proposition wal
made to Cob Cross that II he would come ou
Iforn Gilmore for Governor, and make q few
speeches to that effect, the appointment Of
BrikadiersG General should be his. Col. CresI
treated the proposal With scorn, and a. distinot

In the field, and he took no public part In th'
tcanyass, bnt was 10 the field with his regimen
again before the day OF election. A more com

tion, and hia regiment, numbering considerably
more than that Of Col. Cross, Was allowed q
come homo, ostensibly to recnis, but really u
vote, as the Colonel directed. for the Republic
ID State ticket This part of the bargain va
performed, and tho appointment Of Bdgadlei
General Was bestowed accordingly upo
him who had earned IL BY arduous and valuabl
! services in arms, but upon him who voted, an
