oyer-thc Bue1l Commission has closed its
proceedings. The Inquiry has been a secret
one, as 1t was proper it should be. The Com
mission consisted Of three Major Generals,
two Bdgadier. Generals, the Judge Advocate,
Gen. Buell. and his Aids. Gen. Lew. Wallace
being President. Gen. Buell. has conducted
his own case. The court has been in session
1C5 DAYS; 95 days have been employed in
receiving testimony, and IS days in receiving
and reading documentary evidence, and in
ined for the Government, and Al for the
defense. The witnesses have been of oil
grades, from Major Generals down to spies
und scouts, and tho testimony elected in the
inquiry, besides determining the measure of
praise or censure due to the Commanding
General, will furnish the materials for the
history Of the memorable Tennessee and Ken
tucl1y campaign.
The testimony, 1t Is said, abounds In inter
cstiDg details, not only of our own army, but
that Of the enemy; their marches, numbers.
hardships, and severe discipline. The opin-
ion to Which the Commission has come Is f0r
the eye Of the President alone, and that Of his
immediate advisers. If satisfactory, it will,
ere long, become the property Of tho nation.
Whether the ponderous record Of this Com.

be for the high military authorities to decide
