Our readers remember the accident in
Cogswslls Battery in April last, at Hunts

Board Of Investigation, which convened at
these Headquarters pursuant to Special
Artillery Order Ne. 3, dated HID Qrs

honor to rake, after as thorough an in
We. tigation as the circumstances of the
case will admit, the following report.
LIST The explosion Of the caisson was

> The explosion Of the percussion she'll
was caused by the plunger of the shell

that the Ammunition in the cuisson of

fore The accident, and we further feel it
our duty to fully exonorats both officers
and men of said Battery from any blame
o carelessness in the premises.

1t seems so monstrous and Incredible
that the publication of SO aele, loyal, aud
respectable paper as the y. y. Journal q
Commerce should've suspended merely be-
cause the editor was imposed upon in tho
matter Of bogus proclamation from the
President, that there is abundant reason
to believe tho suspension WAS more on ac-
count Of the following editorial, which
appeared IN TIE same paper, than On &C.
count of The proclamation:
When men read the history OF our
times, they will shrink l.: terror from the
spectacle Of free institutions delivered over

Of every politician. 1t is the saddest page
