SAILING OF THE GULNARE.
A Pleasant Scnd-of Under the Moon-
lisht--PcrsOnncl of the Expedition.
{ New York Herald

The steamship Gulnarc with the
Arctic exploring party left Monday
night on her voyage. The start was
made under the most auspicious cir
cumstances. A beautiful moonlight
night aud the vessels in the harbor
gayly decorated with flags, and bands
of music playing lively airs, together
with crowds on the tugs in the river
filled with anxious people added to the
scene. The Gulnarc was anchored
about one mile from Washington, and
during the day was visited by many
persons of high station, together with
many scientific men.
After notice was given to prepare to
start but little time was lost in getting
under way. Those who composed the
and friends, and the stars and stripes
were run up. One flag, presented by
the Michigan delegation, was display
ed from the bow, and another-the one
used by DIR. Kane-hoated from the
stern. The Gulnare was accompanied
portion of the way on her trip by the
secretary of war, the chief signal officer
and a number OF citizens of the District
of Columbia, including Captain II. W..
Howgate, the father of the expedition.
Everything went off successfully and
cheers were given until the vessel
turned the bend in the river, when the
crowds on tho wharvcs and in the
boats returned to the city. 81.
The persons composing the expcdi-
ton are as follows: II. G. Palmer,
captain; T. II. Bailey, first mate; A. l..

"A few years ago, about two miles
east Of Tallahassee, was found u, pom
derous spur of unique and curious work
manshfp, tho like Of which has not been
seen In modern times. The burr was
ono and a half inches In diameter and
the bar pgoportlonately heavy. On
either side of the rowell danGled small
penant bells that gave forth ttinkllng
sound in response to each step OF tho
wearer-doubtless some steel.clad and
bonneted warrior of the long ago. Not
many days since, while parties werc
ploughing near the indentlcaI spot,

GEN. HANCOCK AT GETTYSBURG.
The Story Of the Surgeon who Dressed
His Wound in the Third days Fight.

DR.. Alexander N. Dougherty of
Newark was Medical Director of the
Second Corps when it was commanded
by Gen. Hancock. Heis Republi-
can, and was postmaster Of Newark
under Grants first administration. He
will, however, vote for Hancock. He
said yesterday: a.'- r.. -.'
swhen Gen. Hancock succeeded
Gen. Couch as commander of the old
Second Corps, I became his Medical
Director. AT the battle of Gettysburg
he commanded the First, Second and
Third Corps, one-half of the army In
the third days fight at Gettysburg he
was wounded, and was sent for. 1
found him lying on the hill slope, un-
der tree, and facing the enemy.
There was deep, wide cash in his leg,
near the groin. In the wound were
wood splinters and tenpenny nail.
Gen. Hancock was anxious to know
what the rebels were using in their
shells. He thought he had been wound
ed by splinters from one of the encmy's
shells. We put him into an ambu-
lance, and lay down beside him.
Then we drove through hot fire to
my hospital. Afterward 1 discovered
that u bullet had penetrated his saddle,
and then lodged in his thigh, carrying

GAS he lay in the hospital in great
pain, I, at his dictation, wrote his first
dispatch to Gen. Meade announcing
the victory won at Gettysburg, adding
to the dispatch that the defeat would
be turned into a rout. He was calm,
patient, and heroic. lie is equally en-
titled with Meade to the honor CT the the
victory at Gettysburg, and Meade
would say so if he were alive. On the
night of the second days baltic a
council of war was held. 1t Was pro-
posed to fall back and establish tho
line of battle at Pipe Creek, but Han
cock opposed it. Hc argued that the
army should stay where it was, and he
said that the Army of the Potomac had
made its last retreat, and should fight
or die on the line where the battle was
begun. Gen. Meade finally coincidcd
with Hancock, and the result was that
that great victory crippled the rebels
40 that they never recovered from it.
Hancock will be the next President.
Several of my Republican friends have
assured me they will vote for him.
We don't want any President who ac-
cepts bribes or purjures himself, or
who has even the suspicion of taiut
about him."
The Ouachita telegraph., 1880-07-09

No, no, Gen. Hancock did all he could
to save Mrs. Surratt. He obeyed the
writ of Aa6eus oo,p,Is issued in her be-
half by Judge Wylie, and left the
court only by permission of the Judge,
after exhibiting the pertneptory order
OF Andrew Johnson snspending the
writ of habeas corpus In the District of
Columbia. He Arkod 70 -eAtAlA4-an In
terview for Miss, Annie Surratt with
President, Johnson, and when the day
of execution came, Gen. Hancock sta

ecutive Mansion to the place of exccu-
tion, in order that the hopsd-fori re-
prfeve might be Instantly eommuni-
Gated. l would be ashamed to defend

tary of war, the former for four months
and the latter for twelve months. Al
ter these officers are shipped the vessel
will proceed to st. Johns aud coal.
In consequence of the large quantities
Of icc floating in the neighbOrhood OF
Labrador the Gulnarc will sail to the
east ana thence to Lady Franklin Bay.
The question of the Gulnare carry
ing the United States flag has been one
that has caused considerable discussion,
as she is British bottom and has not
received an American register. Cap
tain Howgate, in order to settle the
question, referred it to the Attorney
General, and that officer said that un-
der the law authorizing the expedition
she could carry the American flag.
Lieutenant DOane will assume charge
of the station at Lady Franklin bay
SO soon as the colony is established.
This afternoon the Gulnare was in
spected by Mr.. Savillc, supervising
inspector of steamboats, for the dis
trict, and he pronounced her boilers in
good condition and equal to new ones.
The condition of her boilers was one of
the objections raised to tho vessel be-
ing accepted by the president, by the
board of naval inspectors, who made
two adverse reports ON her suitability
for Arctic work. When the Gulnare
lands the permanent party she will re-
turn to the United States and be loaded
with supplies and such other articles
as may be needed and sail again for
Lady franklin Bay with another land
party to take the place of tho one sent
out tonight, which will explore the
interior of the Arctic country.
An abundance of dogs and sleighs
have been provided together with eX-
perienced guides, who will be en-
ployed at Lady Franklin. Tonight
before tho vessel started it was decided
that she stop ut Smiths Point and take
on 5000 gallons of fresh water and also
stop at Norfolk and ship additional
naval stores.
