HANCOCK ON THE POTOMAC.
From the N Y Truth Ind.


The special dispatch from Washing
ton, published exclusively in our col
umns yesterday, stating that President
Lincoln had requested General Ham
cock to take command of the army of
the Potomac, has received ready popu-
lar acceptance.
From the same source we are again
assured of its absolute accuracy. The
command of the army of the Potomac
was offered to General Hancock before
General Grant was thought of for the
position.
We need not repeat the assurance,
however. Truth was the first to give
the fact to the public, and with il we
gave an interview with General Han
cock himself which fully corroborated
it.
Now let us have the correspond
ence, and there will no longer be a
question that the Democratic candi~
date was misrepresented in the inter-
view purportinG TO have been had with
Grant.

Special correspondence OF the Gazette.
GEORGETOWN, DEL, Oct. 10.
The expectations of the Republi-
cans that such local dissensions would
be created by the formation of the
Democratic county ticket here to-day
as to give them fighting chance of
carrying the county are doomed to dis
appointment, and sussex can now be
set down as solid, for a Democratic
majority not unit less than five hmm
dred and possibly as high as thous-
and.
The County Convention, to day, at
tracted deep interest. The exciting
contest was for the Sberiffalty nomina-
ton the leading candidates for which
were John Mitchell Houston and Jno.
W. Short, of Dagsboro' Hundred, and
Samuel j. Martin, of Broadkiln. Be-
tween Short and Houston the rivalry
was extremely bitter, and Martin had
been all along regarded as the "happy
medium" of concession, though when
the Convention began to ballot it was
found that Martin developed the
greatest strength from the first, and
kept it until the sikh ballot, which
resulted in his nomination. Anderson
j. Horsey, of Broad Creek, was nomi-
mated for Senator, and VIM. Paynter
Jones, Of Lewes and Rehoboth, who
was his principal competitor, was
placed at the head of the Legislative
ticket. In full the nominations are as
| follows:
| STATE SENATOR,
Andrew j. Horsey, Broad Greek Hid.
