BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE SOL¬
DIER, PATRIOT AND STATESMAN,
GEN ERAL WINFIELD SCOTT HANCOCK.
Winfield Scott Hancock was born in
Montgomery county, Pa. Feb. 14, 1824,
and is consequently 50 years old. He
received his early education at the Mor
I ristown Academy, and in 1840 was ap¬
pointed a cadet at the Uuited States
Military Academy, from whence he was
graduated and promoted to the army to
i be Brevet Second Lieutenant of Infant
I <», 1.1811, receiving hi, full com
i mission of Second Lieutenant in 1846,
promoted to be First Lieutenant 1853;
in 1855 he was transferred to the Quar¬
termaster’s Department with the rank
of Captain, promoted to be Major in
same department 1803. For more than
two years subsequent to bis graduation
he served on frontier duty in tlie wF
with Mexico (1847-MS) ;riie served with
his regiment at San Antonio, Cherubus
co, Molino del Itey, and the assault and
capture of the City of Mexico, where lie
displayed conspicuous gallantry, receiv¬
ing the brevet of First Lieutenant for
Contreras and Cherubusco. From
1848 to 1855 lie served with his regi¬
ment in the West, as Quartermaster in
lS48-’40, and Adjutant from 1840 to
1835, when he was transferred to the
Quartermaster’s Department, on which
duty he served in Florida during the
Seminole hostilities. In Kansas, dur¬
ing the distui bailee of 1857, and in Cali¬
fornia at Los Angeles, as Chief Quar¬
termaster of tlie Southern district,
where we find him at the outbreak of
tlie civil war, in 1801, and where he ex¬
erted a powerful influence during that
eventful period. Believed from duty in
California at his own request, he re¬
paired to Washington and applied for
active duty in the field ; was assigued to
Kentucky as Chief Quartermaster of
General Anderson’s command ; but be¬
fore entering on that duty he was (Sep¬
tember 23, 1801) appointed a Brigadier
General of volunteers ; his subsequent
history during the war is substantially
that of the army of the Potomac. Dur¬
ing the fail and winter of 1861-62 he
commanded a brigade at Lewensville,
Va. ; in March, 1802 he accompanied
, General „ , McClellan’s ,,, „ , to ... tlie Penin-
1 army
i sula, being actively’engaged with his
command at the siege of Yorktown, aud
the subsequent pursuit, w hich resulted
I in tlie battle of Williamsburg, where he
led the brilliant charge which captured
Fort Magnifier and gained the day.
His services at tlie battles of Golding’s
Farm, Garnett’s Hill, Savage’s Station,
and White Oak Swamp, and during the
retreat to Harrison’s Landing, were
conspicuous and valuable, and the bre
vets of Major, Lieutenant and Colonel,
U. S. A., were conferred upon him, and
was recommended by General McClellan
for promotion to Major General.
He took part in the movement to
Centreville, Va., August and September
1862. In the Maryland campaign he
led his brigade at Urampton’s Pass,
South Mountain and Antietam, where
he was placed in command of the
X)ivision i Second Corps, on the death of
General Richardson ; October 10 11,
1862, be conducted an important recon
, naissance from Harper’s Ferry to

I Promoted to be Major General of Vol
j unteers, November 29th, 1862, he con
tiuued in command of the First Divis
ion, Second Corps, winch he led at Fred
ricksburg, Va., in December, 1862, in
the assault on Marye’s Heights, and at
Chaucellorsville in May, 1863 ; in the
following month he was placed iu com
mand of the Second Corps. At Gettys

nolds had fallen, Hancock was sent for¬
ward from Taneytown by General Meade
to assume command; arriving on the
field just as the rear of the beaten Un¬
ion army was coming through Gettys¬
burg, he at once made his presence felt,
aud after staying the retreat, extended
the Union lines to Culp's Hill, when it
was enabled to check the enemy's far¬
ther advance. Perceiving its advantages,
General Hancock sent General Mpade
such a reixirt of the nature of the vicin¬
ity of Gettysburg as determined him to
fight his battle there. Ou the following
days, (July 2d and 3d) General Hancock
commanded the left center, repulsing
tlie grand final assault of Lee's army,
July 3, himself falling severely wounded
at the moment of victory.
For his conspicuous services at Get
tysburg, General Hancock received the
thanks of Congress. Because of his
severe wounds he was disabled from re
suming active duty till December, 1863,
when lie returned to the command of
his corps. The army, however, being
in winter quarters and inactive, General
Hancock was requested to proceed to
the North for the purpose of stimula¬
ting the recruiting of volunteers, much
needed to fill the diminished ranks of
his corps. His great reputation and
popularity made his mission eminently
successful, and at New York, Philadel¬
phia, Boston, Albany, and other places
visited, lie was tendered public recep¬
tions and the freedom of the cities. In
March, 1864, he returned to his com¬
mand, and In the campaigns of that
year, though still suffering from liis
wounds, he bore a prominent part; in
the battle of the Wilderness, May 5-7,
his command amounted to more than
50,000 men.
At the battle of the Po, May 10, lie
commanded the Second and Fifth Corps,
as well as the assault near Spottsylvania
0. II., May 12th ; at Spottsylvania he
led his corps in its famous assault on
the enemy’s works, capturing upwards
of 4,000 prisoners, 20 pieces of artillery,
and thousands of small anns ; in the
subsequent operations of the army, in¬
cluding Cold Harbor and the assault on
the lines before Petersburg, Genera 1 ,
Hancock was conspicuous and .indefat¬
igable, outbreaking' until compelled (June 17), by
the of- his
wound, to relinquish his command
ten days, when he returned to the
maud of his corps in front of Peters¬
burg.
On August 12 lie was appointed a
Brigadier General in the regular army.
During tlie months of July and August
the battles of Deep Bottom and Ream’s
Station and Boyd ton Plank Itoad (Octo¬
ber 27) were fought under his direction
and command. In November, 1864, he
was to organize the first army corps of
veterans, remaining in Washington on
tiiat duty until February, 1865, when lie
was assigned to tlie command of the
Middle Military Division, and in July
to that of the Middle Department,
which lie held until August, 1866, when
he was transferred to the commend of
the Department of the Missouri, having
in the meantime (inly 26) relinquished
his volunteer commission and been pro¬
moted to be Major General in the regu¬
lar army. While commanding tins de¬
partment he conducted an expedition
against Hostile Indians on the plains.
From September, 1867 to March, 1868,
he commanded the Department of the
Gulf ; the Military Division of tlie At¬
lantic March, 1868, to March, 1869 ; the
Department of Dakota 1869-72, when he
was assigned to the Division of the At¬
lantic, which he holds at this date.
Although not an aspirant for political
honors, General Hancock’s name was
freely mentioned in 1868 and in 1872 as
a desirable Democratic candidate for
President of the United States, and in
I860 a Democratic nomination for Gov¬
ernor of Pennsylvania was tendered him,
but he declined. IIis orders, while in
command of the Department of the
Gulf, in which he placet the civil law
above the mi ’itary, lias endeared him to

Pease of Texas, and the whole long
series of his replies to all the attempts
■ made upon him to induce him to swerve
from his policy of the subordination of
tlie military to the civil—of force to
right and to law—constitute a record
1 far surpassing, in true nobleness, honor
and the best glory, all that of his undis
P utfcd hferoism and moral and intellect u
al features as a commander in the field
of tactics and battle. So long as be re
tained the command of the Fifth Mili
tap' District (from November, 1867, to
March, 1868) he was the incarnate veto
of that whole base and vile carpet-bag
method of “reconstruction,” which,
after his removal, matured under Grant
into results so ruinous and so disgrace
ful that even Grant himself, at the close
of his Sight years, bad to abandon it
and eastern its error.
Knowledge of One Another in the
Future Life.
Yofer letter, asking my “ opinion” on
the subject of recognition of friends
in heaven, is one of many that are lying
near me, on the same theme, and all of
them unanswered. An “opinion” is
worth nothing, or very little, unless it Is
fortified by reasons, and when you come
to\he argument, there is little to be
said, i Yet It is frequently the case that
pro», i in sorrow over the dea th o f those.
fKt 'c >b, espectrBy
accou nt of the death of their children,
write to me to inquii4 if they may in¬
dulge the belief that in the life beyond
the present, they will know and enjoy
the one who has gone before them. This
is the burden of your letter, which
touched me very tenderly. Your allu¬
sions to Jong since buried but never to
be forgotten joys,—to words of sympathy
in years past and gone forever,—to your
fresli sorrow that has now made another
chair vacant at your fireside,—have
opened fountains sealed, yet sealed so
lightly that they are easily opened, when
waters of sympathy are wanted by a
thirsty soul.
Shall we know our friends in heaven ?
The friends we have known on earth,
our children and those we have loved ?
I have not a doubt of it. The bible speaks
very rarely and only indirectly on the
subject, and the few passages often cited
and fondled as teaching it are not so
clearly in proof, as to justify us in say¬
ing that it is a positive doctrine. David
said he should go to his child, but the
child would not come to him. Aud it is
certainly a fair inference that he expect¬
ed to know his boy when lie went to the
place whither the child had gono before
him. Doubtless David had the same lie
lief that we have on the subject, and in
the midst of his grief gave expression
to it and found comfort in the hope.
And such incidental allusions, even if
they were far more numerous than they
are, would serve ouly to show us that
the saints of old cherished the same
.faith in regard to a future state, tiiat we
t'joow. itbas been the faith, too, of
Ihute w'-o do not have the Bible, nor
any kil< wJpdgeof the way of.life by the
Saviour. The pagan philosophers of
Grefects and Koine, whose writings have
come down to us, older than the Script¬
ures of New Testament, have confident
assertions of expectation tiiat the inter¬
course of human friendships will Iks re¬
newed in the future life, and the more
enjoyed because it will not be marred
by the fear of another separation.
The same idea is apparently assumed
by sacred writers, as one that is sponta¬
neous in every human breust. Even the
death of a patriarch is spoken of as his
being gathered witli bis fathers, wbicli
would hardly be Lite expression if it
were supposed that he was not to know
them when lie was in the midst of them.
And the promise that the good are to sit
down with those ancient worthies,
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, would not
be worth much, if we were not to know
them from one another, and the innum¬
erable host of saints in light. Whether
or not we will require individual intro¬
duction in order to have knowledge of
the form and features of the glorified,
it is not important for us now to inquire.
There are saints and angels enough to
usher us into the society we seek, and to
bring us unto the knowledge of the
great and wise in the ranks of heaven,
so that we need not apprehend tiiat we,
or those who have anticipated us in the
realms of the blessed, will be lonely
among the multitudes.
That there is a sense in which our
bodies will be the same then as now,
so tiiat our identity will be preserved
and recognizable by our friends, is as
clearly true as the doctrine of the resur¬
rection itself. Indeed, if it be not true,
there is to be no resurrection. Flesh
and blood and tames will not be constit¬
uent parts of the resurrection lady,
we are not flesh, blood and bones, only
nor mainly. These change witli pro
grossive years. They are not the same
to-day they were yesterday. And seven
years ago a body totally different in act
ual atoms from the one that now.bur
dens me, I carried about. Yet would it
not be very foolish in me to pretend that
I am not the same being, responsible
| now ior wbat I did then, and of and identity have
I not the consciousness
though this total change has taken
place ? The principle of identity, that
which makes me the same person that
I was seven years ago, is not flesh, blood
or bones. These evolve into the ele
ments out of which they came, and go
into the composition of other organic
beings, aud come back to me in another
stage of life on earth, and identity is
not to be affirmed of anything that thus
changes its relations, and has no fixed
habitation in the individuals to he ideii
tified.
“It issown a natural l>ody, it is raised
a spiritual body.” In that truth is the
No. 26.
& 7
germ of the whole philosophy of the res¬
urrection A spirit doth not have flesh
sod blood. But it has a body. It may,
and I doubt not it will, be in the human
form, such as Christ and Moses and Eli¬
as had wheu they appeared unto men.
It may be, and I doubt not it will be,
the form that we new wear, not neces¬
sarily the form we put off when we die,
nor the form that we have at any one
period in our life on earth, but the form
that identifies the spirit that is ours,
that makes the me as distinct from you
and all others in the wide world ; that
indefinable pe uonality that makes each
human being in the universe, of all
time past and all lime to come, one and
not another, and so diverse from all oth¬
ers as to be held to his own responsibili¬
ty for every thought and deed. Tiiis is
what is meaDt by identity. And when
the spiritual body, like unto the glorious
body of Christ, is raised in the human
form and the same form that was born
on earth, we shall know as we are
known. All the faculties of the mil d
are immortal, and surely we shall i ot
know less than we do now. And the
affections of the soul remain, and sure¬
ly wc shall love those who are dear to us
naw. Aud thus we come naturally and
scripturully to the conclusion tiiat wo
shall recognize, and love, and enjoy in
heaven all the good whom we loved on
earth.
That the enjoyment of heaven will be
marred by the absence of any dear to
us is not feasible, because the happiness
is perfect. The highest of all joy is the
consummation of the perfect will of in¬
finite wisdom and love ; and that is the
consummation which constitutes the
blessedness of the heavenly statu. But
it is consistent with our higher joy in
IIim who is the light and life of heaven,
that we should rejoice in reunion with
children and friends who were the de¬
light of our lives while here, and whose
society we confidently anticipate as part
of the pleasures there.
Thus have 1 given, you, dear sir, my
“opinion,” which is, indeed, of little
worth, but you will be more stiength
ened when I tell you that it is the opin¬
ion, and the confident faith of the
Church in all the ages, that patriarchs
and apostles held it, and tiiat ft is far
easier to tear the soul from the body
than to take this faith out of the heart
of a Christian.
But there is something better and
greater than this expectation of know¬
ing our friends in heaven. You may l>o
very unwise to si wild your time in think¬
ing much about it. It is better to live
tor and in the present: to live bo tiiat
when Christ shall ap|tear you nmy ap¬
pear with Him in glory.—Janautu in the
N. r. Observer.
