been thrown to the breeze as it deserves.
He is one of Pennsylvania's noblest sons !:
one of whom she may justly be proud,
and not only proud of him but of the reg
ment he has the honor to lead.
So well did he 90 lis duty on the pen
insula, iG the memorable seven days bat.
ties, that Generals Sumner, Richardson.
and French highly recommended him for
promotion. At Antietam he led the bri.
gade, and fully showed that he was not
only brave and daring to fault, but that
he possessed every requisition for the
command of brigade or division. His
superiors did not fail to see his desire or
his willingness to perform his every duty,
and they again presented his name among
the deserving, and as yet he IS unnotIced
at the War Department. Political inau
ence is more powerful than the most
praiseworthy deeds. He is too proud too
noble, to enter the political arena and ask
for promotion. If his gallant deeds on
the field cannot bring 1t. he is content to
fight for the Constitution and the Uoion
where he is.
The Fifty-Third entered the fight with
three hundred officers and men. and out
of that number brought off one hundred
and forty-6ve, losing over fifty per cent
of her strength. A list of the killed aud
wounded will be found below.
l see your correspondents merely note
the fact that Gen Hancock's division was
in the fight, without giving any particu-
lars. Gen. Couch, man of soul, who.
when he Saw the decimated ranks of his
command, turned to the signal officer With
him, and. while the tears ran down his
cheeks. dictated the following message TO
Gen Burnside : "Send the ammun' tion
to the Lacy House Hancock and French
are so holly engaged I need reinforce
ments" Thus you discover that Han
cock was holly engaged, and in this divi-
sion is the Flf.y-third Pennsylvania Ia
order to give YOU some idea Of the part
this division had in the battle, it is only
sufficient to give their losses:
Offic RS and men in the division 5368
Officers killed q
Officers wounded lOS
Men killed and wounded 343S 1878
1895
Addstragglers who returned to camp l05
1900
Out of 1868 officers and men that went
into the engagement only 1906 came out
whole, making loss OF 6S3 per cent
French's Division lost 2745 in killed,
wounded and missing. but the proportion
is not so great as the former.
Colonel Brooke, of the Fifty third, an
swered the flag of truce sent by General
Lee for the burial Of our dead. Whilst
in command of the working party engag,
ed in digging the graves of their com-
rades in battle, Rebel officers gathered
round and entered into conversation with
each other The Colonel heard them ac
knowledge the bravery and gallautry of
our troops, and one of them was heard to
remark that if ever those men had
reached the crest of the hill there would
have been no such thing as standing
against them.
The number buried was 9l3, and five
brought over the river by request
Franklin's loss in killed was only about
5 0, so that our loss in killed is not near
SO large as was at first supposed. The
official report of killed, wounded and mis-.
sing, will not exceed 10000 in the grand
total

CHEERING PRosPECTs.- hear from DIFF
ierent parts of the country that the conserva-
tive element in the shoddy Union party of
California, are abandoning the ranks of the
political traitors who would prolong the war
and continue the sacrifice of blood aud
treasure to carry cut their sectional partisan
policy. They see the old silver greys of
their once honorcd and national Wing party
like MiIlaFd Fillmore, sustaining Gov. Sey
mour in Just efforts to confne the war TO the
legitimate object Of restoring the supremacy of
the Constitution and laws Of the nation over
the revoted States. They are 10 longer vii
ling TO aid in the election Of Abolitionizcd
Bgeckinrigers whose greed for Office leads
them TO sacrifice Thousands Of patriotic sol
dierS for partisan purposes. They will sustain
the Government to the last; AbolitioniSm
that refused the application Of Louisiana to
return TO the Union, they can sustain no longer.
Every man. not drunk with Anaticisn, Will
rejoice ~ the popular declaration through the
oalloi-box that the lives Of our patriotic sol
diers and the treasure OF the nation shall not
be sqnandered to force an Abolition policy
upon the returning States Millions for the
Union, bat not cent for the fanatical policy
that refuses 10 re-adnit the seeded States.
