the brave men who have beea wounded and
disabled in the defense Of the old flag.
A number of cur best citizens. As will be
seen by their card IN another column, uE1ted
in an earnest solicitude for Lieut. SAA'L b.
ScBLAGiE, of the 10th Ind. Volunteers. to
allow his name to be announced As candi-
date before the nominating election. To
this he has assentei. Lieut.. S. carries with
him the eEidsuces Of the service he has rem
,dered his.coantry, having been three times
severely wounded in baiilal; the last tune
in the terrible ordeal of the FIRST days hight
II Gettysburg, where he fell pierced thro'
both thighs with Minnie ball. that render
ed his removal from the field impossible.
and. as the lines Of the gallant LIST corps
were pressed back By the helmins re-
inforcemen.s of the rebels. Lieut.. ScHLA-
GLE, fell into their hands. having been cx
posed, upon the field, to the opposing ire
Of the two armies for several hours. 1ice"-
ty-thres Of the thirty one gallant young men
of Co. B. lay scattered about him killed and
wounded. The enemy's surgeons gave our
wounded but little attention. and for four
days during the progress of the fight, Lieut..
s. was in the hands of the rebels. who strip
ped him of nearly every article OF clothing,
not even sparing his blanket. shoes or hat.
and compelled him to lie upon the wet earth.
without shelter from the torrents Of rain
that delused the battle field.
The rebels having been finally repalsed,
those of the wounded still alive were gath
erep up by our ambulances and properly
cared for. Lieut.. ScHLAGLE, was sent to
Philadelphia where he remained for some
time ard being so far improved as to be able
to ride in sleeping car. he came on TO bis
home at his fathers, four miles northwest of
this city. He is now able to ride in a car
rage and. although the wound through the
thighs is not yet healed, by the aid OF
crutches he is able to move around with but
little difficulty.
As to the young mans qualifications foI
the office we are satisfied that they are ex-
celled by no other candidate before the peo-
pie. We have in our office samples of his
penmans ship that can be seen by Nil who
desire. and we feel justified in saying, his
writing will not suffer in comparison with
any Clerk who has occupied the Office in
this county within the last twenty years.
All the other requisite qualifications, de-
manded by the particular business of the
Office are to be acquired. of course. by ex-I
perience only.
1t affords US great pleasure to extend to
Lieut.. SCHL AGILE, our humble individual sup
port and. from the universal expression of
satisfaction that the announcement of his
name meets with in this city add all over
the county wherever he has been, he will
receive the nomination almost by acclama-
ton. This reward Of his bravery has been
we'll earned. and the enthusiasm with which
our best citizens speak in favor of the
wounded soldier, goes TO show that the no.
BILE men composing the army of the Union
are looked upon will, PRIDE admiration. and
lave, by every friend Of our glorions Gov
The soldier has fought for us, he has been
disabled from further service in the field,
and cannot again resume the occupation fol-
lowed by him before the war, and now let us
show him that his sacrifices are not to be
forgotten, and that the reward of bravery
and dsvotion~to the cause Of the Union, is
to be commensurate with the services he has
rendered the country in the hour Of her
trial
