The Huntsville correspondent of The Cincinnati
Ga.ete, gives An account Of the Cour-Martial sit.
ting at that place for the trial Of Gen. Turchn. The
charge was consent to outrages BY his soldiers The
witnesses brought to sustain the charges were parties
suspected Of dsloyalty. and Gen. T., who is repre-
sented as having borne himself with the most COM
mendable dignity, in cross-examining them, merely
asked the one question: "Are you loyal man y
which question WAS dsallowed by the Jndge-Advo-
Gaze The charges against the General are signed
by &c. c. Gilbert, Captain LIST Infantry, Acting In
spector.General." Upon this fact, Col. Gaay,
Gen. T.'s Counsel remarked:
call the attention of the Court to the circumstance that
no chsises have been mace by parties Claiming 10 oe %
rreyrd nor are they made by any OF Col Tuchns superior
or commanding officers but BY person not in any manner
and who proper to prefer charges against

Gen. -Turchin also addressed the Court, detailing
bis operations while in command-al which resulted
successfully for the Of the Union, and none OF
which were outside the strict line of military duty.
He had brought to bear his military knowledge ac-
qured in European campaigns, and, ewing TO the ig-
norance Of our soldiers, had took upon himself the
duties of subordinates that his plans might not fail.
