1s5as Of Capt. SPECIFICATIONS Of the
Prosecafioss-Pieas Of the Defence.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2l.
Capt. Henry Wertz was arraigned to-day be-
fore military commission charged with ma
liciously, wilfuly and traitorousIy combining
confederating and conspiring, together with
Robert E. Lee, James A. Seldom, Northron
and others to injure the health and DESTROY
the lives of Union soldiers in rebel southern
prisons; and also with murder, in violation of
the laws and customs of war. The snec;6ca-
tons allege most cruel practices. such AZ star
walton purposely, the vaccination of soldiers
with impure matter, the furnishing of rotten
food and the employment of blood hounds
Alter the reading of the charges and specifi-
cations against Wertz to-day Col Cbipman.
Judge Advocate, asked what answer the nris
oner had to make. Judge Hughes. as one of
his counsel, who are Messrs. Hughes, Denner,
Peck and Schoode, asked time to prove de-
fence, which was overruled by the court
Judge hughes, IN order, as he said, to facili-
tate proceedings, filed several pleas
denying the jurisdiction of the court to
try the prisoner, it having no authority to do
so by statute or well established usages
THAT this case is not brought before it
by competent authorities.
S.-That the prisoner is a naturalized citi-
zen,'and was never in the land or naval SER
wee OF the United States, which now being at
peace, and the civil war having ceased, there
is no authority to punish him.
The prisoner protests that he ought not
therefore, to be tried, but discharged from Gus
tody.
He also claims that just before the time of
his arrest at Andersonville, Capt. Noyes, ON
duty near this place, applied to him for infor-
nation, which he cheertully communicated to
him, and he accompanied Capt. Noyes to Gen.
Wilson's quarters, the former promising him
safe conduct and giving him assurance that he
should not be arrested. The prisoner relied
on the good faith of Capt. Noyes. But not
withstanding the above repeated assurances
the prisoner was seized, held in confinement
and brought to Washington.
The prisoner further protests that he ought
not to be held any longer, for the reason as set
forth at length, that he came within the terms
of the capitalization between Gen. Johnston and
Gen. Sherman.
The defendant also asks the court to quash
the several charges and specifications, because
each and every one is uncertain and indefinite
as to the time and offence, and the allegations
are SO vague and indefinite that he ought not
to be tried upon them; and, further, that they
do not charge him with any offence punisha-
Bile by the laws of war.
The Court adjourned until tomorrow.

Wholesale Murder of Negroes Terrible Stat.
of ATaiTs at the South.

New YORK, Aug. 21.
The Southern Christian Intelligencer of
August 9th says: eff one tenth part of the re-
parts are true, which are coming from all
parts of the South thicker and faster, a most
shocking state of things exists. From locali-
ties where there are no national troops come
reports that the negroes are being hunted
down like dogs, and dispatched without cere-
mony. The newspapers in the South are filed
with accounts of these brutal murders, which
foot up an aggregate of several hundred deaths
per day, which is doubtless only a small por-
ton of the number noticed.
An Alabama paper says this business has
become SO extensive and common that some
planters even boast that they could measure
their lands with the dead carcasses of negroes.
LII negroes can be shot down daily in gar
risoned towns, where the authorities are I'M
able to stop this state of things, it is very
reasonable to suppose that this brutal work is
carried on more extensively where the blacks
have noprotection. This wholesale murder
ing of human beings is, we fear, the practical
working OF the conspiracy to exterminate the
colored race which is revolving to the Christ
ian age.n
The Raleigh Progress, Of the 10th inst.
learns from Col. Lawrence, commandment of
the post at Goldsboro, that six negroes were
killed at or near Warsaw two weeks AGO.
Their former owner left on the approach of
the Union army, the negroes remaining. The
latter went to work and made a crop. The
former owner returned recently, and ordered
them to leave. The negroes refused. and the
proprietor of the place getting some negroes
together with arms, ordered them off again,
and, on their refusal to 90, attacked them,
killing SIX. A company of soldiers was sent
up from Wilmington, and an investigation will
be made, if it is not done already.

The CATHOLIC EAR. - This exhibition
opened brilliantly, at City Hall, last evening.
The spacious room is beautifully decorated
and all the articles are tastetully arranged. a
gay and happy crowd was present, and all
went merry as marriage bell. The young
ladies in attendance were tastefully dressed.
and their bright eyes were cleaning in glad
ness The articles on exhibition are very fine
and many of them Of much value We have
not time to enumerate them, nor to describe
them. The selection shows excellent taste.
and no doubt the exhibition will come quite
up to the most sanguine hopes of those who
are engaged in the enterprise, so far as the pc
culiiary interest is concerned; and we doubt
moi those who visit it win not be disappointed
whatever their expectations may have been.
At two O'Clock this afternoon the Fair will
be opened again, and also in the evening. We
can assure those who visit it that the youne
ladies will be alive in making bargains with
the young gentlemen-for the sale of the ar
ticles.

HORRIBLE EvENT.-Mrs. Elizabeth Lee, re-
siding at No. Sumner Street, was burned to
death last evening by the bursting Of a kere-
sene lamp.
One of herneighbors smelling kerosene smoke
very strongly issuing from her residence, broke
open the door, and found the woman stretched
upon the floor and in the agonies of death
Her clothes had caught fire from kerosene
lamp, the chimney of which had been taken
off and set upon the floor, and she was dread
fully burned in the head and other parts of thu
body, besides inhaling the fire. She died ir
ten minutes after being discovered. 1t
probable she was SO suffocated as to be unable
to give any alarm when her clothing took fire
She leaves a mother, and one daughter Is
years old, the latter of whom is absent from
the city.
Coroner Gould was called, but, under the
circumstances, deemed it unnecessary to hold
an inquest.

SOMA Washington correspondent of the St.

ton ct conservatives had Just left him. Turn

inc that forget the power and the party to

NO BACKING DOWN.

The Democratic speakers at the late Conven-
ton, were unreserved in their coquetting
around and compliments to President John
son. The resolution is adroitly drawn, So as
to leave loop-hole for escape, but several of
the speakers were explicit in claiming Pres
ident johnson as of their party, who had ac-
ted with the Union party for purpose, but
now had turned his back upon that party,
and would henceforth be found with the So
called Democrats-those who have offered
a reward for his head
We hope these gentlemen-Messrs. Little
field, Pillsbury, Dunn and Co.-will stick to
their text, and show no back down tendency
now or hereafter Since their endorsement
President Johnson has appointed Hannibal
Hamlin to the best office in New England, and
Preston King to the best one in his gift
Messrs. King and Hamlin are renegade Dem
ocrats," according to the definition of the ar
gus and of the State Convention, and accord
ing to Messrs, Dunn, Littlefield and Co., are
nigger-Worshippers and fanatics. Of course,
we shall hear no more Democratic slang
against these men. To reproach them, is to
reproach Pesident Johnson and to eat their
own words.
