The Whitaker Case.

Clarinn.l
The inquiry into Tie alleged ma'>
treatment of Whitaker. the color
ed cadet of West Point. has results
ed disas'rously tor him. The tests
mony convicts him of having writ
ten the letter of warning to him
self, and having inflicted upon him
self the injuries which caused the
investigation and which, by the
way were greatly exaggerated.
His supposed object was TO escape
examination at the approaching ex
ercises, and at the same time to
create public sympathy in his be-
half at the expense of the white ca
diets towards whom he bare Il
grudge for looking in his face to
see the color of his skin. The court
in summing up the case said:
OpiniOn-After a strong array oil
tircumstantIal evidence from the
experts in handwriting, and from
the conflicting statements OF Whit
taker. and the lack of veracity
evinced by him in certain cases
during the inquiry, as shown by
the evidence, the court is OF the
opinion that the imputation upon
the character of Cadet Whitaker
referred to in the order cOnyening
the court in the official reports OF
the commandant of cadets and the
post surgeon, is fully sustained.
When the report was sent tC
Gen. Schofield, and carefully read
by him, he caused letter TO be
addressed to Col. LaZalle, com.
mandant OF the corps of cadets.
directing the arrest of Whitaker
and placing him in clos.
confinement in his room. The Or

Whitaker will remain under arres'

A British Critic on Confederate
Army.

LOHuoH Nutui"dl tNONio".I
For EnglisEmen especially, the
story of the American civil war
must always possess the most pow
erful attractions. Ga both sides
the principles involved were those
which most deeply affect our own
national feeling the language, the
ideas of the combatants were our
own. The army of Mort hern Vir>
ginia in particular, from the nature
of the defense it had to maintain,
and the character 1t earned and
sustained, enlisted, and will for
generations continue to enlist, the
strongest English sympathies. 1t
tonight with English tenaciiy, Eng
IIsh recklessness of consequences,
English indifference to odds, what
was from the first a very doubtful
and soon became an evident losing
battle. Once only was 1t fairly
beaten in open field over and over
again, both on the offensive and on
the defensive, it proved itself more
than match for apparently overs
whelming odds. It's composition
resembled very closely that of our
own volunteer regiments. It's lead
ers were men whose Personal char
acter and public conduct displayed
all the virtues on which English
men most pride themselves; as the
people of Virginia are perhaps the
most thoroughly English of all the
many offsets which the mother race
has planted IN every part OF the
world. General Lee was as perfect
type of the ideal English soldier
and gentleman as history can show
"Stonewa1lo Jackson reproduces,
with many of its eccentricities, but
scarcely one of its worse and mean>
er features, the historic character
of the Puritan leaders. Stuart,
Fitzhugh Lee and Wade Hampton
reminded those whe closely follow
ed their career, OF the finest exam
pies of English cavalier loyalty and
simplicity.
