Acquittal OF Maj. Gee. Comma ndant OF the
Salisbury Military Prison.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3, 1S66.-The find
ings of the military commission, of which
Col. W. W. Wheeler, of the Twenty-eighth
Michigan infantry, was president and before
Maj. Jno. III. Gee, late commandant of whom
the Salisbury rebel military prison, was
tried, have just been promulgated in gen
eral orders from headquarters military
command of North Carolina. There were
two charges against Gee-the first, for Vio-
lating the laws and customs of war, and the
second, murder in violation of the laws of
war. OF both charges he is fully acquitted.
Specifications under the first charge set up
that while Gee was in command of the priS-
on the prisoners were in a condition of ex-
treme want and suffering, as well as many
of them i'll and dying by reason of the ut
ter and continued insuficiency of the ra-
tions, clothing, shelter and medical at
tendance, and of the cold and exposure to
which they were constantly subjected, and
of the small and narrow limits to which
they were confined, and that the said Gee
did fail to provide or cause to be provided
for said prisoners proper or sufficient ra-
tions, clothing, fuel, shelter, water or hos
pital attendance that by reason of such
failure the prisoners were never supplied,
&c. The findings proceed, and the com
mission, attaching no responsibility to the
said John 81. Gee other than for weakness
in retaining position when unable to carry
out the dictates Of humanity, and believ-
ing that higher authorities of the rebel gov
ernment we're fully responsible for all the
alleged violations of the laws and customs
of war, finds of the specification not guilty
And the commission also find that he is not
guilty OF oil the other specifications, and
accordingly acquit Major Gee.
Major (innara1 RObipson ~,
the case, approves of the finding OF the
commission, but says that he cannot agree
with the commission that the only respon-
sibility of the accused was weakness in re-
tanning position as commandant of the
prison, while evidence clearly establishes
the fact that higher authorities of the rebel
government were fully responsible for these
violations of the laws and customs of war,
and that the accused was constantly calling
their attention to the condition of the pris-
on and asking for supplies, it is believed
that he had it in his power to relieve much
of the suffering of the prisoners under his
charge. There was an abundant supply of
running water and wood enough for fuel and
shelter within a quarter of a mile from the
prison pen. Men who had served in the
field would soon have built huts for them
selves, if permitted to do SO. Not only were
the prisoners starved, but they suffered
from want of water and fuel, which they
might have procured themselves, but be-
cause it was feared they might effect their
escape, prisoners were shot down in cold
blood, and the perpetrators of these muir
ders were allowed to go unpunished. There
seems to have been more anxiety to prevent
the escape of prisoners of war; than to pre-
serve their ives.--Cor. NeO York Herald.

THE WAY THE MONEY GOES,
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

How goes the money? Well,
I'm sure it isnt hard to tell
1t goes for rents and water rates,
For bread and butter coal and CRATES,
Hats, caps and carpets, hoops and hose
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money! Nay,
Don't every body know the way
1t goes for bonnets, coats and capes,
Silks, satins, muslins, velvets, grapes,
Shawls, ribbons, furs, furbelows,
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money? Sure,
wish the ways were somewhat fewerI
1t goes for wages, taxes, debts
1t goes for presents, goes for bets,
For paints, pomade and az de rose
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money! Now,
I've scarce began to mention how;
It goes for feathers, laces, rings,
Toys, dolls and other baby things,
Whips, whistles, candies, belts and bows (;
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money? Come,
know it does not go for rum
1t goes for school and Sabbath chimes,
It goes for charity sometimes,
For missions and such things as those,
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money! There,
I'm out of patience, l declare!
1t goes for plays and diamond pins,
For public aims and private sins,
For hollow shams and silly shows
And that's the way the money gees.

that may influence the future supply, such
as the better organization OF labor, ETC., so
it is no part of our present purpose to dis
cuss, except briefly, the question of future
consumption. We will only succinctly adj
vert to the causes that will operate to ex-
tend the culture, such as the completion of
the railroads by which British India is in
tersected !; the establishment there of bank
ing institutions offering increased facilities
of credit but on the other hand, the exist
ing tenure of land, and the fact that En-
gland has frequently to export large guam
titles of silver bullion to pay for her imports
of cotton, are obstacles to the extension of
the culture, while the stimulus of high
prices will be gradually withdrawn. Limi-
ting our inquiry, therefore, to the present
and not the future, it would still be instruc-
tive to compare the rates OF growth and
consumption. T..
The annual increase from 1S1S-'19 until
1859-60 has been and fraction per cent,
which, if the war had not followed, in that
proportion the crop of 1865-'66 would have
been 4,916, 900 bales or for the six years
from 1861 to 1866, 26,714, 800 bales, as the
following condensed statement will show,
supposing that fair average crops had been
