THE TRUE SPIRIT.

One day last week the rebel General
Edward johnson was introduced before
tho military court at Washington, which
is trying the parties implicated in the as
Bassination of President Lincoln. Gene
raj Howe and General Ekin, objected to
receiving his testimony, and in the course
oftheir remarks, expressed their opinion
Of those traitors who were educated at
the expense ofthe government, and after
wards joined the rebels in their crusade
for the destruction of the life of the ma
tion, in rather decided and bold language.
The following are their remarks:
General Howe-Before the witness ia
sworn l wish to submit motion. Twill
state the facts upon which / base the mo.
tion. 1T is well known to me, as it Ia to
great many officers Of the army. that
the person now on the stand Edward
Johuson) was educated at the National
Military Academy, at Government ex.
pense, and since that time, for years, he
has held commission in the army Of the
United States. 1t is well known in the
army that it is condition precedent to
receiving commission that an officer
shall take an oath of allegiance and
fidelity to the Government. In 1851 il
became my duty as an officer to FIRE upon
Rebel party of which this man was a
member. That party fred upon, struck
down and killed loyal men who were in
the service Of the Government. Since
that time it is notorious to all the officers
of the army that the man now introduced
here as witness has openly borne armt
against the United States except wher
he has been prisoner in the hands O
the Government. ! understand il ia pro
posed be shall testify before this court
he comes here as witness with hi
bauds red with the blood Of his Iowa
eountrymen. shot by him or by bis assia
tants in violation Of bis solemn oath as
man and as an officer. l submit, there
fore, to this court whether he does no
stand in the eye of law as an incompetan
witness. ! regard the offering as th
witness Of man standing In open viola
tion Of the obligation of an oath admins
tered to him IS an officer, as an insult I,
the court and an outrage upon the ad
ministration Of Justice l move that thi
man be elected from the court as an in
competent witness
General Ekin-I rise to second tn,
motion. am glad that the question ha
now been presented to the court. re
gard this man clearly incompetent as
witness In my Judgement Of all men ii
this country, for those who have beer
educated by the Government, protectet
by the Governmet, and who have the

OF the Government to come into cour

has been presented will be adopted b

The HANDEL AND HAYDN society,"
The Handel and Haydn Society of this
city celebrated their first anniversary on
the evening of the Both ult. The exercises
took place at the residence of the Rev.
Leighton Coleman, and were very inter-
esting An important feature of the occa-
sion was the presentation of handsome
Cane, by the Rev. Mr.. Coleman, on behalf
ofthe Society, to Prof Grobe, and beau
tiful Photograph Album, through his Honor,
Mayor Maris, to the efficient leader of the
Society, NJ. L. Lichtenstein, Esq. The re-
cipients of these favors at the hands of the
members of the Handel and Haydn richly
deserve the compliment that has been be-
slowed upon them. They have labored
zealously to promote the success of the So.
cicty, and through their energy and perse
verance musical organization has beer
formed in Wilmington which has don't
much to reflect credit on our city. MIR
hchtenstein, as the Musical Director, hat
been indefatigable in his efforts to improv,
the members as vocalists, and to him nj
little credit is due for the perfection whicl
they have attained. Prof Grobe, as tn,
President, has been no less energetic il
promoting the welfare of the Society. Afte
the presentation the company regaled them
selves with ice cream, strawberries, cakes
&c, and few hours were spent in plea
SAINT manner.

Admiral Dahlgren, who was sent to cap
ture Charleston on sight, after the gallant,
well-tried and experienced DU PoNT had
been relieved of his command? ? We
rather guess that Mr.. Secretary Welles
didn't succeed much better in his "moni-
tor bombardment," of Is months with
Dahlgren at Charleston, than DU PoNT
did in his half-a-day's trial with incompe-
tent ships. Both commanders are brave
and loyal officers, the difference in them
being that it took Admiral Dahlgren a
year and half to learn what Admiral
DU PoNT discovered in few hours. and
which old Mr. Welles couldn't understand
that Fort Sumter and Charleston
could not be reduced with few iron
vessels that had never been in fight and
were totally unable to work after receiv'
ing two or three good shots from the enc
