Evidence can be, if it has not already

the reDelS equipments 1of Oonieue-
rate regiment of cavalry, which were
turned over at the lines by his Adju- !
tant. Through her knowledge of that
fact Mrs. w. was made ian honest wo-
man of, and the wife of an Assistant
Adiutant General of the volunteer ser
vice.
The last two crimes, by rules of war,
are death.
Charges of passing goods and gold
through the lines to purchase cotton, q
understand, have already been sworn
to by competent witnesses, and also of
attempts to rape females in his quar-
ters. There is enc case of this kind
reported, so horrible in its atrocity,
that only the conviction that this mise
rable victim would rather bear the
wrong than publish her disgrace to the
world, prevents me from exposing it.
Charges were preferredagainst Bray
man, while in command in Camp Den
nlson, som three years since, which,
if proved, required his dishonorable
discharge from the service. The proof
was abundant. I hone to furnish you
a statement of those charges from Col.
Henry L. Burnet, late Judge Advocate
(not relation of mine). The Court
convened by Gen. Burnsidesto try the
charges was suspended by orders from
Washington. Brayman was continued
in service, and sent from post to post,
but never, that ever heard of mt The
field, and when the public outcry
against him at Natchez became too
strong to resist, he was made Presi-
dent of the Court of Claims in New
\ Orleans, where he had a better and
safer chance to steal than ever before.
, The charge preferred by Col. Bur-
net may be reached at the War De
. partment by a Congressional call, and
so, I presume, may the report of DR.
j. II. Weldon, who, under instructions
: from Gen. Candy, and assisted by DR.

leans Times, who was detailed by Gen
Davidson, for that purpose, made {
