The Herald's correspondent states in re-
lstion to the condition of affairs on the Rio
Grsnde:
Nothing positive can be relied on, save
one fact, that the Imperial Commander
there has issued the strictest orders to pre-
serve terms of cordiality, if possible, with
the Americans, and suffer no act of hostil-
ity OF aggression TO be committed, on the
part of the Mexican forces.
Oortinas is on 8 rampage IS usual, but
the career of that pest to sll parties is run

A good many rebel Generals aad lesser

towards this capital with the hope of OBJ
tanning employment from Msximilisn, but
the Emperor has already more Generals
than he wants, and as for that matter quite
a. many soldiers as he has any use fer OF

ChaTaCGeristic vail from south Caro-
linn

=
lima
Among the Associated Press dispatches
published this morning is one from New
York, repeating the boyish fears expressed
in private letter from South CarOlins,
published il that sensation organ OF the
rebels, the Commercial AdUertiseT. The
writer looks forward with fearful sppre-
hensions TO the first OF January, as time
whea,all the Negroes in South Carolina are
TO be aIurned loose" upon the whites like so
many wild beasts; but he fails to enlighten
US IS - the cause Of this huga COM
motion. We thought the Negroes had
alrsady been ''turned loose" 10 law, they
became free Onthe frat of January, 1868,
in fact, they were liberated when rebel
rule ceased in that region. This letter is
evidently printed for the purpose OF Of
setting the many terrible outrages COM
mitted by the whites of the South upon
their former slaves, and if it has any sig
nifeanee, it will be found that another
crime sgainst the black man is to be con-
Summated at the time specified. The Bit
ter spirit of the planters has in many in'
stances Influenced them to disregard self
interest SO far as TO drive away and refuse
to give employment to those Negroes who
refused to work without sdequstE
compensation. These petty tyrsnts may
be contemplating the inauguration OF this
policy throughout South OsrOlins upon the
expiration of the contracts made under the
direction of the Freedmen's Baresu; hence
this howl in advance. "Tne guilty Ae'
when no man Purs eth" Give the freed
men the rights which they have fairly woI
upon the battle field, fighting shoulder tC

nation, and the whites Of the South VII

caDtnIu VERT on trial

The trial of the notorious and infamous
Usptain Wertz, keeper Of the Anderson
Vile prison pen, was begun before Mill
t4ry Commission at Washington yesterday.
The examination Of the large number OF
witnesses in the case will necessarily in
volve grest deal of time, but the result
aside from conserving the ends of justice,
will be important as securing in an official
form vast smouut of information relative
10 the abaIbarism of slavery" and the
dihbOlicsl means adopted to found q slave
holding republic in America.
The Cleveland leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1865-1865, 1865-08-22
by which they are to be governed during

by which they are to be governed during
the trial.
Theirs is an order involving q
command from the President of the United
States, appointing q military commission
not to try particular case but any case
that may be brought before it, and it
does notapPeAr that this csss hss been sent
here. The statute gives the military
courts jurisdiction over civilians in cases
where persons are found lurking about
ss spies no Jurisdiction is conferred in cases
OF conspiracy. The prisoner is charged
with reasonable conspiracy and murder.
Then do we know that it was the intention
OF the President to send such cases here.
Wehave no evidence that the charges ena-
mated from any other source than the
Judge Advocate Of this court.
Judge Chapman said that while not de-
signing to answer the fallsey of Judge
Hughes, he would merely remark that the
practice has been to try any case properly
coming before the court, and the order
reads for the trial of such persons as may
be brought before the court. All books
lay down the rule that the Judge Advo-
cate shall prepare cases for adjudication.
Several cases have already been decided.
The point is not new one. The case is
not required to be formally prepared and
sent to court. The court is constituted for
the trial of such prisoners as may be
brought before it. The prisoner is here to
be tried. The court, with closed doors, de-
cided to overrule the pleas of the counsel
for the accused.
Judge Hughes, in order as he said to fs-
cilitate the proceedings, fled several pleas
first denying the Jurisdiction of the Court
10 try the prisoner, it having no authority
to do SO either by power of well established
usage or otherwise.
ID. That this case is not brought before
il by competent authority.
Sd. That the prisoner is naturslized
citizen, and was never in the
land or naval service of the
United States, now being at peace and civil |
war ceased. There is no authority TO pun |
ish him, and the prisoner protests that he
ought not, therefore, be tried, but dis
charged from custody.
