The Richmond Enquirer says:-When
VIC reproduced from one of our exchanges
the assertion that Court of Enquiry had
been granted to Col II. W Baylor, ''to IN
vcstigatc charges made by Governor Wise,
relative to his conduct last full, as an Off
Ger in connection with the Brown raid, y
we intimated the opinion that no formal
charges had ever been proffered by the Ex-
Governor against the officer in question:
After careful enquiry, made at ahead-quar-
tiers, we are enabled to state positively that
we were entirely correct in that OPINION
The case stands thus: In q letter. addressed
to headquarters, Col. Baylor referred to the
fact thaS imputations had been cast upon his
conduct as an officer, and requested Court oi
Enquiry to investigate both the precise ma
ture of these imputations and the conduct
to which they had been applied. An order
was issued Ia accordance with this request,
which Ct !cr expressly recites, that where
as, no formal charges have been made against
Col. Baylor, the Court must be the sole Judge
as to the extent of investigation required.
1t is undoubtedly true that very serious
imputations have been cast on Col. Bay l0r' 5
conduct by number Of respectable and res
ponsiblc gentlemen, including, as we are well
informed some of the most gallant and dis
tingushcd of his brother officers. The case
is very serious one, and justice to the ser
vice, as we'll as to Col Baylor demands q
thorough and patient investigation. Many
witnesses will, doubtless, be examined, and
the Investigation will, probably, be a pro
louged one.
