TO the Editor Of the Madisonian:
GEN. JACKSON'S FINE.

Sir: precedent may be found for the reimburs-
men of the fine imposed on Gen. Jackson for the dis
charge of his special duty at New Orleans, in the
"act for the relief of Major M. M Payne, of the IT,
s. Army passed on the Doth of May 1880, which
will be found in the 9Th volume Of the Laws of the
United States, page 354, chapter 396:
Gan act for the relief of Major M. NJ Payne, of
the U. S. Army.
Sec. lst BE ii enacted by the Senate and House Of
Representatives. Of the United States Of 4merca in Con-
gress assembled, That the of twelve hundred and
seventy-fve dollars be paid to Major NJ NJ Payne,
of the United States Army, out of any moneys in the
Treasury, not otherwise appropriated as remburs-
ment for the expenses which he incurred in defending
suit brought against him in the State of South Ca
rolina, to from him damages for the perfor-
nance of act strictly within the line of his pro-
fessional duty"
The original note of the act is in these words
"Major Payne, payment against him for special acf to
be paid''
There seems to be some discrepancy between the
Act, and the marginal note. have not at hand the
Report in this case and state the nature of it
the Act indicates that it is for Expenses for defend
ing suit in the marginal note that it is for "udg-
ment" recovered In either case, it is good prece-
dent to authorize the reimbursement of Gen. Jack
sons fine. HEPHESTION.

The ausion to the Oregon question is well timed,
and is fondly hoped thai the Executive will be
equally successful in his negotiation this subject
az on that of the Northeastern boundary.
Next in interest to the review of our foreign rela-
tons that portion of the Message touching the Ex-
chequer. We earnestly invoke for it the cam dis.
passionate and unprejudced attention of every Demo-
crat into whose hands journal may fall
We cannot hope TO convince the purbind de-
voice of corrupt and corrupting Banking sys-
ten, to shake the big try of those who regard
any currency save gold and silver, as fraud upon
the public. We do not, therefore, either solicit their
consideration essay to enlist their interest 1t to

sines that time. He also recommends the
policy of erecting Notifications for the protection
OF our extended marilime frontier. and has nc
companied this recommendation with many
striking and comprehensive remarks. To con
iinue at peace, nation must be prepared for
war, was a maxim by which the administration
of General Washington was governed. As re-
CARDS This policy there can be no dispute. what
part Of the Washington policy stands more
deeply impressed on every record that remains
to US from The Father of his Country, than the
duty of providing powerful armament for the
defence and protection of our territory Where,
In all the memorials Of that great man. will we
find any injunction Of neutral policy, any ad-
monition against enlsngling alliances, expressed
in language more strong, than that in which he
enforces the policy of placing the nation in the
armor and attitude of defence, so as TO enable
the Government TO resist foreign aggression p
The Secretary Of War has placed this policy
on high ground. His views on this subject
are comprehensive and patriotic. The report
Of Mr.. Spencer on the subjects conpected with
his Department exhibit to the reader clear and
complete view of what has been our policy and
the consequences; and what systems ought to
be adopted with respect to the condition of the
Army. II also presents to the reader perspicu-
Gus and forcible reasoning upon the system
which the Government has adopted in support
Of this arm Of our national defence. He has
added to its interest by including rapid, but
extremely luminous sketch of the history of the
military department, as we'll as of its general
progress. In fact, il is document which, whe-
ther it be regarded as an analysis of multitude
of facts, or as calculated for the correction of
various legislative errors, and the guidance Of
Congress, has never been surpassed. So
much compression of matter will seldom be
found in an official paper of such dimensions
Full of all the Distinguishing characteristics Of
his great mind, of perfect accuracy, Of admira
bic simplicity and cearness; of vigor Of appli-
cation and decision Of judgment-it contains no
phrase which is not fraught with some forcible
and essential argument, having direct bearing
in developing important matters appertaining to
the administration of the Department.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR

We shall not enter upon formal exposition
Of the report Of the Secretary of the War De-
rartment, as his views are laid down with too
much force and clearness and illustrated with
too much power and ingenuity to require any
such calculation from US. We propose, how
ever, to examine such ofthe positions assumed,
as we think W, IL calculated not only to disarm
opposition 10 this important arm of national de-
fence, but 10 exhibit its true bearing upon the in
teres,s Of the country.
The condition of the Department of War,
as exhibited in the Report, and the subsidiary
documents, must he highly gratifying to the
People of the United States. The organiza-
ton and discipline of the Army are effective
and satisfactory The reports of the various
officers at the head Of the administrative branch
es of the military service, connected with the
quatering, clothing, subsistence, health and
pay, of the Army, exhibit the assiduous vigi
lance of those officers in the performance of
their respective Duties and the faithful account
ability which has pervaded every part Of the
system.
Our relations with the tribes of aboriginal ma
tives OF the country, have been, during the
present year, highly interesting. Treaties have
been concluded with several tribes. They en-
brace large and valuable acquisitions of territory
they secure an adjustment of boundaries and
the bloody wars which have been waged by the
Seminole Indians in the Territory of Florida
have been brought to a close, and pledges have
been given Of permanent peace.
The appropriations made by Congress, for
public works, as well as the construction of
Notifications and the improvement Of harbors,
&C., &C., so far as they have been expended,
have been faithfully applied. Inregard to these
appropriations, large amount remains unex-
pended. The S cretary, from consid, ralions
of the exhausted condition of the Treasury,
deemed ii expedient to pursue this course. In
thi. act he has given evidence OF a wise and
jud,cious policy, aud has ais given some proof
dis, ,llion 10 be controlled by economy and
present organization of the War Department, a
reduction in the apnCal expenditures of the
military department has been effected, without
auy reduction Of sa ares, OF dminution Of Off
GERS. 1t is simply by an organization which
has created a strict responsibility, that the annu-
al expenditures Of that Department have been
reduced
The Secretary, in his last annual report, re-
commended the establishment Of National
Foundry. The reasons upon whlc that re-
CONNIE ndation were founded, exi r III their
force, and have acquired additio. urgency

WEDNESDAY, Sept. z.

TRIAL OF LIEUT.. CHARLES WILKES, CONCLUDED.
The Court met at 10 o'clock, A. M, precisely, all
the members present.
The JUDGE ADVOCATE, after commenting on the
extraordinary and ecedented course adopted by
Lieut.. Wilkes, In making his defence before the
Court vehicle of personal abuse and SANDER on
himself, asked permission to be allowed TO put a
replication TO that portion OF the defence which was
OF purely personal nature, and not connected with
IT, as an act OF justice due to himself, both IN his
individual and official capacity.
After a short consultation, the Court refused to
allow the application of the Judge Advocate, as
they did not consider II matter apperaining strictly
to the case, and 1t could not therefore, properly be
attached TO the record
The JUDGE ADVOCATE owes it to himself as well
as the public, to publish his replication to the foul
ISLANDERS which were so literally heaped upon his
head by Lieut.. Wilkes in his defence, and which
were evidently intended for effect elsewhere than
on the Court; as is shown by the fact1 that il has
been printed in pamphlet form for distribution. Be-
sides this will venture say there is not men,
Der of the Court who heard the defence read, but
considers II a wanton and undeserved attack on the
Judge Advocate, who has faithfully discharged the
ardnous, and frequently unpleasant duties of his
station in manner which plainly shows that he had
buta single eye to thel melting out of nothing but
equal and exact justice" TO all concerned in this
affair.
The doors were closed, and the Court recon-
menced Its deliberations on the case before them.
At quarter before three o'clock the doors were
