THE WIZ TRIAL.

WAsHINGToE, Aug. 30.
The Wirz Military Committee reassem-
bled this morning. Gen. Thomas, as q
member of the court, said he understood
the prisoner had been hand. cuffsd while in
prison, and he could see no necessity for
such rigid treatment. especially as the
prisoner is always attended by guards.
The Judge Advocate explained that the
handwriting was at the instance of the
counsel for the accused, as on the day the
counsel deserted him he said he would
never again appear in court, and the
prisoner seemed to mediate suicide.
Mr.. Baker said he never saw any necessity
for Handwriting the prisoner, and pre-
sumed that the continuance of it arose
from some Misrepresentation, and should
not be repeated from anything heretofore
said by the prisoners counsel.
Col. Parsons, at one time commanding
the post at Andersonville, showed that
Wirz was assigned to the prison pen by
Gen. Winder, and had full control of it.
Witness had subsequently prayed to the
Judge in the neighborhood to abate the
nuisance, but was obliged to abandon the
case at the instance Of Gen. Caff,

oUFKAeE Os THE SOLDIERS.

NEW YORK. Aug. oO'
A special to the Tribune from Washing
ton says: An outrage on the Government
and soldiers by psymAsters has been dis
covered. Col Binney, psymsster in charge
at Norfolk, in violation Of instructions
took SIS O0O 900 in treasury checks to Nor
folk and had them csshed there and took
in exchange Seven-Thirties, by an ar
rsngement with noted bank at Norfolk,
whose President is q notorious secessionist,
Binney received one,hslf per centsge al
lowed by ]. Cooke & Co. for the circuls-
tion of Seven Thirties. The National
banks at Norfolk and Richmond gained
largely by the transaction, as the bonds
paid to the soldiers came back to their
counters to be exchanged for legal tenders
at from one-half TO one per cent discount.
Merchants and suffers followed suit and
soldiers could not buy the smallest article
with his Seven-Thirties unless he submit
ted to this infamous swindle. All the
psymaster's engaged are under arrest and
will be severely punished.

prison; in his letter or order, he said Cap
tain Wirz was an old prison officer, re-
liable and capable of conducting the prison.
It was dated sometime in February or
March. Witness, as commander of the
| post, made a requisition on the commander
of troops for soldiers to guard the prison.
These soldiers then passed under control of
Capt. Wirz The prison was laid out BY
w. s., Winder, son of General Winder,
snd its capacity was 1O,O men. Richard
Winder was Qusrtermaster of the prison.
The number there was from $4,000 70 2O..
900 prisoners. Witness undertook to erect
additional shelter, and he was lust about to
DO SO by hauling timber, when he was re-
heved, and never went back except a.
counsel for some Of the men,
The timber had then been cut down from
within the prison he had commanded at
Andersonville In earlier and better dsys.
The witness drew bill Of Injunction to
abste tie prison nuisance, owing to the
stencil and efluvia and unhealthy inhu.
ences. The judge to whom he applied
said he would appoint day to hear the
argument and the witness made his pre-
psrations accordingly. General Howell
Cobb slso commanded the Department of
Georgia, and the Georgia militia sent him
q communication asking whether the bill
was to be charged to him or against the
government. He informed General Cobb
he had drawn the bill which was to be
charged TO himself. Cobb replied, through |
his Adjutsnt General, that he deemed it |
inconsistent with his duty as Confederate |
officer to take such legal proceeding Dis
covering he would be court msrtialed if he |
persevered, he said to General Cobb HIf
you deem it unoficerlike I will abandon |
the esse." he chose to do this rather |
than be driven from the case. This was |
in July or August, 1864.
Gross examination by Mr.. BAker-Fhe /
capacity Of the prison was for ten thousand |
men and any beyond that number ought |
not to have been placed on the ground even
after the enlargement. Captain WirE
was not to blame for the size of the prison.
james Van Valkenburg, residing ten
miles from Macon, Georgia, testified that
the crops we're more than an aYessge pro-
duct in 1864. Macon is sixty-fve miles
from AndersonTills and Amerieus nine
miles from the latter place. Provisions
we're more plentiful than in previous years
because no cotton was planted.
After other testimonial proceedings the /

The Herald's Charleston correspondent
ofthe 26Eh says there have recently been
arrivals from the interior Of large stocks
of cotton and q considerable number of
planters, and the business Of the city has
experienced q very encouraging revival.
The planters are loud in their complaints
that the eolored people have been emanci-
pated. They have generally deserted the
plantations, and cannot be induced 70 work
except under the compulsion of the master.
In consequence of this deserslon of the
niggers the planters say that the cotton
and corn crops of the State will give little
more than half the average yield. It is es-
timsted that throguh the slavery repudis-
tion consequent upon the Rebellion and
its failure, and from the emancipation Of
the slaves the value Of property in South
Carolina, which was four hundred million
dolIars in 1860, has besn reduced to fifty
million dollars st the present time.
