GENERAL MANCOCk.

General Winfe}a Scott Hancock,
who was nominated to-day at Cincin-
natl for President of the United States
by the Democratic National Conven-
ton, was born in Montgomery county,
Pennsylvania, February 18th, 1924,
and is now in the prime of life. He
entered West Point Military Academy
at the age of sixteen years, and served
as Lieutenant in the Mexican war,
being then i'll his I'D year. He was
promoted for gallantry in the battles of
Contreras and Cherubusco He served
in the Florida wars during the Seminole
troubles, and IN 1859 came to Califor-
MA. When Fort Sumter was fred on,
IN 1861, ne declared himself for tbs
Union, and did much to suppress the
secession element in the Golden State
He served througAeus the war, and
notably distinguished himself at the
battles of South Mountain and Ante
tam, and at Gettysburg, where he was
severely wounded. Towards the close
CT the war, when suffering from his
wounds, President Lincoln assigned
Kim the duty Of organizing an army Of
1000 veterans from discharged volun-
teers. For gallant services in the re-
bellion, he was promoted TO the rank Of
Major General in the Regular Army,
and during the reconstruction OF tbs
rebellious States he was Military Com
E1ander In the South After the South
ern States were readDitted to the

lie is man whom every old soldier
and lover of the Union can censcien-
tiously support, with the full assurance
that If he Is elected be will have no
spawned political hacks to provide with
lat places in the Government service,
and that Union soldiers, regardless of
their political professions, will not be
brushed aside to make place for the
Keys, longstreets and Mosbys, and
ether modern converts to Republican
lam; and last but not least, that if
elected by the qualified electors of the
United States, he will take his seat.

The battle between the contending
forces at Cincinnati, while not as fierce
ly waged as the Chicago fight, is never
theless warm. On the first ballot nu-
merous dark horses" who were not
formally placed in nomination, received
several votes. On the first ballot Cen
eral Hancock, of Pennsylvania, took
the lead, almost every State in the
Union giving him more or less votes.
Bayard and Field followed in the order
IL which they are named, while Payne,
of Ohio. received the seventy votes of
New York, probably as a compliment
TO Tilden, who is supposed to be in
favor Of his nomination. 1t will be OBJ
served that three Of the six votes Of
Nevada were cast for Field, although
1t is well known that he is not the first,
or even Gfsh, choice of the Democrats
Of the State. while the others voted for
Tilden, who ID not a candidate.
On the second ballot, which was
taken this morning. General Hancock,
CT Pennsylvania, was nominated, and it
10 doubtful il better choice could be
made. AS he served with distinction
In the Union Army. and is now in
command of the Atlantic Division, it
cannot be said that he has been in any
manner a sympathizer with the Confed-
eracy. and every man who believes in
IGNORING brave man, who, in times of
peace, counsels the subordination of the
