Release of Gen. Stone.

''W learn that COL Charles T. otone, =.
S. Army, and Brigadier Genera! OF 'olunteers,
who has been for many months contned IN
Fort Lafayette, is at liberty, and stopping with
his family in this city. Why Gen. Stone was
sent to Fort Lafayette is as much mystery to
the public as is his release without trial, and
without, we believe, the preference OF charges
Il will be proper hereafter to inquire INTO the
history OF this extraordinary transaction. Ger
guilty when imprisoned, his discharge untried
throws fearful burden Of responsibility upon
the government.
The National Intelli gencer, commenting on
the above says:
1.-THE officer thus mysteriously released was
us5 as mystenously arrested in this city, many
months ago, and, without any charges being
preferred against him, has been held in mill
cary custody by order Of the President ever
since until his release, without trial: Jew
days ago It is hard to say whether such pro-
ceedng is greater wrong to the Government,
TO Cen Stone Or to the loyal people OF the
country, for, on any theory which may be adrp
ted or in any light in which General Stones
conduct may be Justly viewed, he IS entitled to
be honorably acquitted Of the charges supposed
to be brought against him, or the country may
Justly demand to have him legally condemned,
if he has been guilty Of any misconduct -
The New York correspondence Of the Phila-
del pha Inquirer says:
''General Stone takes his incarceration very
much to heart. yet not So much as he does the
suspicion which has been cast upon him OF he
inc unfaithful to his flag and traitor to his
country. He says all that he demands Of the
Government now IS fit, an opportunity to
prove before the proper tribunal his entire ~
nocence Of the charges against him; and, Sc
cond, shat opportunity be afforded him OF
again serving, aud. if need be, dying for his
country on the field of battle. Gen Stone

had $4,000 or 10000 troops.
