A statement is published by Gen. Hal.

by him relative to the movements oil

Johnston had been disapproved, we're is.
sued under instructions from Gen. Grant
As to the wording of the orders, he had
no intention to reflect upon or be disre-
spectful to Gen. Sherman.
Gen. Stoneman publishes . statemen,
showing that he intentionally disobeysd
Sherman's orders, took his own way and
failed to capture Davis.
The Times Washington special says
we are now enabled to form some ides Of
the length of time that the Military
Commission will be further engaged in
the trial Of the assassins. Bv arrange
ment among the counsel the argument Of
Hon. Reverdy Johnson will be had on
Friday. This will be followed by the ar
gument of Mr.. Stone, counsel for Muad
and Harold, and on Saturday Mr.. Cox
will present the defense of O'Laughlin.
On Monday Mr.. Aiken will sum up final.
ly on behalf of Mrs. Surratt. On Tues
day Payne and Atzeroth's counsel presents
his arguments, and on Wednesday Mr..
Ewing sums up in behalf of Mudd, Span
gler and Arnold. Ii is believed that
Judge Advocate General Holt will pre-
sent the final argument on behalf of the
prosecution on Saturday, the Gath instant,
and on the Monday following the Com
mission will conclude its work BY the ind
ings and sentence. The sentence cannot
under the rule be promulgated until after
it has been approved By the President, SO
that the end of the trial may not be
reached before the FIRST day of July.
A delegation of colored men of Rich
mond arrived here to-day to seek an au-
dience with the President. They repre-
sent that under the military restrictions
in Richmond their condition is not better
than it was when they we're in slavery,
and they propose to ask that special in
quiry be made as to the facts, in order
that the proper remedy may be applied to
place them on footing in eonsonance
with the liberal and enlightened policy
adopted by the Government as 70 the
colored population OF the South.
Petitions for pardon from leading men
of the late rebellion are coming in by the
hundred per day. Among the men Of
note whose petitions were received to-day
are Major General Edward johnson, and
Joseph A. Anderson, of the Tredagar
Iron Works A clause is now inserted in
the pardon intended to prevent the appli-
cant from claiming in the courts exemp-
ton from the operation Of the con6scation
acts, thus leaving the settlement of the
matter of con6scation of rebel property to
the courts and to Congress hereafter,
where the facts are such as call for re-
lief.

A STRANGE. .DIscoSEaY.-On Sunday
last, two men working for Mr.. Hurley on
the extension Of the Marquette and On
tanogan Railroad, took boat and visited
one Of the numerous islands in Lab "a
Miohegauna, and while strolliDg oves Il,
discovered skeleton bound to = tree
with three cords. We have not hoard par.
ticulars enough to indulge in much com.
msnt this week, but it is supposed that it
was the work of some Indien, who thu,
reyanged himself on IN enemy. An cd
musket and three pair Of snow-shoes were
found near the tree. The Indians in this
region, sand even the most intelligent
half.breeds could never be prevailed upon
to visit this island, and this probably en-
abled the psrpesntor 10 commit the .tro-
cious act. Before our next issue We will
find out the particulars, and give legend
connected with il, which viii be highly
