Tie Court Martial, of which General

MeNeal, of the Sd regiment U. S. liza

Lieut. Col. McNeal was honorabig aes

the specifications was proved. Lieut..
Col. McNeal is, by order from the Adj
jutant- Generals Office of the Eastern
Department, of the 5th inst directed to
resume his sword, and report to head
quarters for duty.
This intelligence will be highly graft
flying to those who know, or have heard
of Lieut.. Col. McNeal's career, than
which few, in our gallant army, have
been more gallant. He was in the whole
campaign on the Niagara, and is litea

have been grievous that one who had so
gloriously sustained bis country's honor
and bis own, in the face of the enemy,
should have rendered himself obnoxious
