Lieutenant General
March l6, 1866.


Secretary Stanton reports that the ex-
animation of the Rebel archives for the
proceedings of the courtmartial alluded to
hiss not been completed.
The record required not having been
found, in July, 1866, the Acknowledgement
submitted 70 the Secretary Of War a state
ment by reliable person, recommending
the arrest and trial Of Pickett.
Taking into consideration the action in
the Supreme Court Of the United States Of
the case of Milligan and Others, who had
been tried and convicted by military CON-
mission, and the doubts cast upon the juris-
diction Of such tribunals, the Secretary of
War has not felt authorized TO pursue the
course recommended by the Judge Advo-
cate General until the opinion OF the Su-
preme Court should be formally promul-
gated. The magnitude of the ofense al
legged against Pickett is such that there
should be no person TO contest the iuris-
diction cf the tribunal to whom the trial
may be committed. F. NJ. STANTON,
e< l.f Secretary Of War. !

TIE CASE OF GEN. PICKETT.
The Parole Given by Confederate Sol

The Parole Given by Confederate Sol.
dters Protects Them.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE President
to-day sent a message to the House, trans
hitting the detailed information in regard
TO the Rebel Gen. Pickett asked for at the
last session. Enclosed is letter from At
torney General Stanberry transmitting all
papers on file relative to Picketts applica-
ton for pardon. The Attorney General
says that no action has been taken on these
papers, and he has no information of any
proceedings instituted against Pickett for
cruelty to prisoners or any offense against
the laws of war. r....t
It viii be recollected he was charged with
hanging a number of United States soldiers,
for alleged desertiOn from the Rebel army,
Picketfs application admits having APP
proved the sentences by oourtmartiaI fde-
serters, who were. unmistakably identified,
and says his action was sanctioned by the
Confederate government, and says be will
ingly refused his allegiance to the United
States. FsU ...Hrt as
Gen. Pickett's letter to Gen. Grant is of
same tenor, and is Endorsed by Gen. Grant
fellows:
Respectfully forwarded to his Excellency.
the President of the United States. with
the Recommendation that clemency be ex-
tended in this case, or assurance given that
no trial will take place for the offences
charged against Gen. Pickett during the re-
bellion. fE
Belhgegent rights were acknowledged
to the armies of the country, and it is clear
TO me that the parole given by the armies
laying down their arms protects them
against punishments of acts unlawful In
this case know II is claimed that the men
tried and convicted for the crime of deser-
tion were Union men from North Carolina,
who had found refuge within our lines and
in our service. The punishment was a
harsh one, but il was in time of war, and
where the enemy no doubt felt it necessary
TO retain by some power the service Of every
man within their reach.
General Pickett know personally TO be
an honorable man, bat in this case his
prompted him to do what cannot
be well sustained, though don't see how
any good, either to the friends of the de-
ceased or by fixing an example for the f1- |
lure, can be secured by his trial now. II |
would only bring up the question whether |
pr not the government did not disregard It's |
contract entered into TO secure the surren-
Ter Of an armed enemy.

THE TMIN RRoTHERs.

STORY OF THE sEIGE OF PORT HUDSON.
1t is said that fact is stranger than fiction.
How true this is. is exempliiied in the follow
ing true story of two brothers. twins, which
occurred during the memorable siege of port
Hudson. Passing one day through the
streets Of that little town. we noticed two
corpse lying upon the gallery of the carpen-
ters shop, awaiting their turn for the boxes
dignifed with the title Of collins, TO consicn
them to their last resting place. They were
bodies Of tall stature, strong and well built.
betokening the hardy backwoodsmen of the
Southwest. Over the face of each was
thrown a cloth, through which the blood
was oozing, showing that they had received
their death wounds through the head.
II was no uncommon sight during the
siege TO see death in every form, from the
body pierced by the single bullet to the one
shattered TO atoms by the cannon ball or
fearful mortal shell. Yet there was some
thing in the appearance of those bodies
which riveted our attention and induced the
inquiry as to who they were. A rough
grizzly, weather-beaten Confederate sitting
by their side, whose arm, tied up, showed
that for the present he was unfit for active
service. The tears were trickling down his
cheeks as he gazed mournfully upon the
dead before him, while his quivering lip
told better than words that they had been
more to him than simple comrades of the
tent and field.
He related their story in few words:
They were my sons" said he, land
we're twins. One Of them Joined at same
time / did. We came here with General
Beale, and have done our duty to the best
of our knowledge, and believe TO the salts
faction of our officers.
"This morning, sir, while at the breast
works, one of my boys in order to get good
aim at the sharpshooters outside, thought
lessly raised himself too high, when a rife
ball pierced his brain, and he fell dead at
my feet. His brother, seeing him fall,
sprang forward to pick him up, but in so
doing, exposed himself above the line OF
defenses, when he, too received ball
through the brain, and he fell dead upon
the still quiyering form of his brother As
they came into the world, so they went out
Of il together. In removing their bodies
from the breastworks, got this wound,
which shattered my arm. Would that
had died with them, sir, for have no one
TO love upon this earth"
And their mother-your wifeP
'Died, sir, in giving them BIRTH"
One coffin received the remains of the
twins, and few days after, while sitting in
front Of his tent, an exploding shell gave
death wound to the heart-broken father.

RINDERPEsT AND TRICHINA.

NEW York, April ll.-Dr. Percy made
some remarkable statements before the
Health Commission, yesterday concerning
the Punishment Of the COW and swine stables
from the city. He said the animals were
nearly all suffering from plura-pneumonea-
and the disease was contagious. A gentle
man from Boston, a few days ago, imported
animals that had caught this disease, and
the State of Massachusetts, lost 10000 cat
tie which were infected from them.
A bull was sent from Holland TO the Cape
Of Good Hope, and from that one animal
millions were infected and died, while bust /.
ness was almost destroyed and starvation
produced.
Mr.. Lindley SAYS that dead animals could
be seen by thousands over the country. A
bull was sent from England to Australia,
and Notwithstanding the passage, the AMI
mails which came in contact with him, in
every case, were infected; but as they were
Immediately killed, the disease was finally
mastered. This disease exists here in the
stables, and If YOU break them up the own
ers will sell and 90 abroad, and il may be
40 spread as 10 infect the cattle in every
State in the country.
Mr.. Littleby says that when the disease
has become chronic persona who have eaten
the meat of cattle killed while suffering
from this disease, have experienced no bad
effects. When il is acute it produces car
buncles on those who eat it. The farmers
in Duchess county would as soon take the
smallpox into their houses, as cattle from
the swill-milk stables into their barn-yards
If they are sold the disease will be commu-
nicated.
Il is a fact that trichina has been found
in beef and traced directly TO the swill-mllk
stables on Long Island. II exists in pigs,
and is found wherever they are kept IN hi
thy sites and fed on swill Rats are found
wherever there are pigs and they become
6lIed with trichina. and COWS devour the
excretions Of the rats and they take the dis
esse. Cases Of this kind have personally
traced 10 Newtown.
A DARING FEAT-The Montreal Gdsette
describes very daring feat Of one of the
Grand Trunk engine-driyers Mr.. l.
Laughland, driver Of engine No. 1S, was
coming down the line on the 18th ult, with
No. 7 freight train, when, on crossing round
the curve two miles west of Cornwall, he
saw a drunken man sleeping on the track
Ne Immediately whistled down the brakes,
which the conductor and brakesmen applied
as quickly a possible; but the distance was
40 short that il was impossible 10 pull up
in time. Laughland Immediately ran out
ON the cow-catcher, and, as the locomotive
came mp, he stopped forward and seized the
man by the neck, and endeavored 10 pull
him on the cow-catcher; but being unable
10 do 80. Jumped off with the man and sue
ceeded In throwing hiAs--ss..s.aS.. q the train.
The whole train Of seventeen cars 1T-~ss-l
The pIace before it could be stopped. On
learning the facts, the authorities ordered
that two DAYS pay should be handed over
10 Ianshland as a slight reward for has gal
liant conduct
