also, so far as the ascertainment Of truth ID
concerned, It is precisely at such times thu,
postponements are most dangerous. Material
witnesses are liable to be lost forever, by the
casualties OF the field.
The policy seems to have been, thus far, To
avoid courts-martial and courts of inquiry
upon the leading actors in this war. General
Patterson appealed in vain for court Of in

The original statement that they were paying
for everything In United States Treasury notes
has undergone successive and very important
notifications. The first one was, that they
offered Virginia and South Carolina and Con-
federate paper, or United States paper, at the
option of those whose property they needed
and were taking An option like that Is no,
likely to be very free one. Those who de-
manded United States paper would be certain
to be spotted as enemies to the rebel Gauss, and
to be treated accordingly. The next modiaca
tion of the fret statement was to the effect thai
the rebel soldiers were very free purchasers In
the Frederick stores, and offered nothing In
payment but Confederate notes, which the mer
chants there were either too polite or too pru-
dent to refuse. The result Of the whole mattel
