:'Ah. he didn't know what the thorn was

He went and in q short time they were
obliged to take off his leg. He sank under

From the National hteltigeaeer.1
a DARK TRANSACTION.

We are sure that every reader Of this journal
perused with equal surprise and indignation
the report we yesterday gave from the columns
of Republican print in this city, respecting
the testimony borne by one Perdon Worsley,
in the case of Messrs. johnson & Sutton, dry
goods merchants of this city, now on trial be-
fore the Military Commission, of which Gener-
al Fessenden is President, upon the charge Of
selling goods to blockade-runners and contra
band traders within the lines OF the enemy.
1t appears from the testimony of this witress,
produced on the part of the Government, that
he, with his wife, was engaged about the lst
of April last and sent out by the Government
as principal in the nefarious business to which
the accused merchants are charged with being
accessories. This man, the Government's wit
ness, svore that s'He sold goods to Nos5y and
his eficers, under the direction and with che
Knowledge of the Government. and re always
informed the Government Of what he did,
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1864-11-25

Witness wife was also in the same business,
ard was compensated BY the Goverument-
Witness had made money by selling goods, but
had not di, ided proceeds with the G oyernment
Witness gave bonds TO the Government, and
they took his honor for the faithful performance
Of his duty.
If Worslay, the Governments agent and its
witness in this trial. was allowed TO sell goods
to Mosby and his officers "under the direction
and with the knowledge of the Government"
it follows that the Government is the principal
in tins coutraband trade, and it appears that
Worsley was paid agent for the prosecution
Of the illegal traffic with the enemy. Under
such circumstances, Messrs. Johnson & Sutten,
the victims of this Government agent, may be
put on trial before Military Commission for
furnishing goods to 9EasbY, but in reality it is
the Administration or War Department which
will be put on trial before the bar eF public
opinion in the loyal States. If this witness is
10 be believed. he was in the habit of trading
with Mosby and his officers ''uuder the direc-
ton Of the Government" and while carrying
on this Illegal traffic he 'faiways informed the
Government of what he did" Il will be seen,
that the Government does not object
70 such Illicit trade, but if we may iudge from
the prosecution now pending IN this city, de-
sires to claim for itself monopoly ia this bus
mess.
We await further Developments in This affair
before making it the subject Of such reflections
as its abhorrent character deserves, f the state
mcnts Of this witness should stand unContradict-
ed. We refer to tho subject to-day merely for
the purpose Of correcting an error in the re-
port Of the names Of the counsel employed for
the defence Of the accused merchants, as given
by us yesterday. They are defended by Mr.
Riddle and Mr., Wolf, the former of whom is
we'd known TO our readers as distinguished
member Of the last Congress from the State Of
Ohio, but who is now located in this city as Q
