The Military Court Of Inquiry. .-4,


The Military Court of Inquiry. .-4-
At 10 o'clock wended my way to the Tenn
perance Hall, where the Court of Inquiry is held.
The court did not assemble for some time, At
length four officers made their appearance-one
only twas inl full dress, General Towson. The
others were in undress uniforms. The two
Generals and the Colonel, took their places at a
table at the head of the room, and remained there
for a long time, looking remarkably grave; Gen.
Gushing apparently asleep. The Judge Advocate
is lolllng at open window, and the room is par
TALLY filed with wondering spectators. Whilst
these interesting proceedings are going on let me
glance around the room, which is hung with
number OF Sons OF Temperance banners Behind
the court are displayed three hags--two Of them
having inscribed the words love-. purity, and
fdelity'-an appropriate motto, which have no
doubt the members of the court will fully carry
out. The other flag displays man at
well, apparently quating some very excellent
spring water. That's not quite so appropriate as
the motto. Water IS very good in its place but
the members OF the court will agree with me In
saying that this hot weather it needs qualifier.
At all events Gen. Cushing is of that opinion,
he. carries his wine with him when he travels. To
this happy quality may be attributed the fact that
no ladies' tainted after the railroad accident as he
literally supplied with champagne all who desired
The statement that Gen. Taylor is coming here to
attend the court is a fiction. No question will
come before it, in which his testimony Will be re-
CURED. Besides the old General has Just been APP
pointed to the command of the southwestern
division, with Generals Twiggs and Brooke under
hun, and it is scarcely probable such an appoint
ment would have been made just now, II his at
tendance was required here. ''-'' 80 -
4 see it stated that no charges are to be brought
forward against Gen. Scott at the court this Is
also error. Gen Pillows charges against him
are to be laid before the court tomorrow and II
said that many of them are of very serious
nature. ....... -
The court has Just adjourned over till twelve
o'clock, awaiting the arrival of Gen. Scott, who
is expected in by the cars ..
P.S.-General Scott has just arrived He looks
rather feeble. Your reporter will send you an ac-
count OF the proceedings in court.
