From Our Special Correspondent
RALEIGH. n. c.. Friday Evening April c. lse6.
Since the issuing of the Presden. Proclamation,

hardly rational doubt of the discrimination Of the Mill

erraigned during the past six weeks.

the aforementioned gentleman Will unquestonably obtain

which will be hardly probable until after the 9Th instant

The defense will then, il is presumed, ask for another

less until they relieve their client by ordinary legal
means, III such instances made and provided.
TIE TRIAL PROBABLY AT An END.
The turns upon the construction OF the ProcnIna-
ton and whether the abrogation Of military tribunals re-
ers those that have already been established Ind where
trial is still pending.
There is little question in the minds Of oil the lawyers
whose opinions have heard expressed that Major Gee
be tried he must be arraigned before the civil
courts since the abolition of martial law nulhhes the
action of all Military Commissions.
NY own opinion is that after next week shall never
hear again OF the Gee case which has been expensive TO
the Government, annoying and inc0nyenen IN the ex-
IRENE to the witnesses and particular bore and source

FORMATION OF TWO MORE FOREIGN soUADRoYs.
The orders from the Navy Department to prepare for
service flagship the Pensacola fine vessel Of the
Hartford class, probably tho first step toward the
formation OF new foreign squadron, TO be known as the
South Pacific Squadron. The cruising ground of this
squadron will probably be from Panama along the west
coast South America thence southwark and westward
intending New-Zeaand Australia, Tasmania and the
islands OF the Pacific Certainly this will be of the
most interesting cruising grounds OF any In the world
and which hitherto has been rarely visited by
vessels Of except for exploring purposes. The parts
be visited will be Panama, Caao Valparaiso 'Talcap-
amo, sydney Melbourne, Hobart Town, Auckland Mon
qulnui Stahee kOtomah, and other places in
the Kings Mills Groups, Marquesas, Society and Friendly
Islands. This squadron will probably consist of
vessels Of second and hrdrates and will compare favor
ably with the squad0ns of other naval powers IN those
waters IL fact II will be larger than any of them
II IL also reported that new squadron viii shortly be
organized be known the Indian Ocean Squadron.
As yet have not been informed what vessels will COM
pose II but il will probably consist Of about five vessels
OF second and third rates. This new cruising ground will
comprise the vast oceanic basin separated from the Pa
ofc the east by Australia and the Asatic Archipelago
bounded the south by line drawn from the Cape Of
Good Hope Bass Strait, divided from the Atlantic by
Africa the west and ncosed by the countries of Asia
the north. The chief ports Calcutta and Bonn
bay in India Malacca in the Asatic Archipelago; Alden,
Mocha and Muscat in Arabia aud Zanzibar and other
lesser ports in Africa.
The presence OF number of vessels Of the United
States in these waters will be Of much scyicn TO our mer
chants 1t will make the passage among the islands and
through the Straits much safe than formerly, and
break the praal expeditions which have OF late been
so frequent that locality The climate III this quarter
tho globe is delightful the scenery beautiful, and two
or three years cruise in these ATTITUDES in OF fine
vessels will be an interesting event in the lives Of our
naval officers.
