CHAPTER XXX.
COURT MARTIAL.

Why twelve only of our number were
carried to Knoxville, where Confederate
court martial had convened, | have never
learned. 1t may have been thought that
this number was large enough for ven
geance, or more probably it was intended
when they were disposed of to bring the
others also. Gen. +. Kirby Smith com
manded the department, and all the pro-
cecdngs We're under his authority. What
seemed to us very remarkable was that a
single one of our number at time was
brought before the court, and all the pro-
ceedings in his case were gone through
with before another was brought out
Thus each trial was just the copy of the
one that went before, and, short as they
were, must soon have become very mo
notonous to the members of the court.
We employed two eminent Union men OF
Knoxville as counsel-Judgc O. p. Tenn
pie and Judge BaXter-but they were not
allowed to hear the plea of the Judge ad-
Vocate, the prosecutor against us Neither
had we that privilege, and cannot there
fore give the points that We're most relied
on for our conviction. In fact, members
of the court visited us and said that we
would he acquitted OF the charge against
us, which was that OF lurking about Con
federatc camps at Chattanooga Dalton and
Marietta as spies, and only held as prison
ers OF war. This inspired in us strange
and, as the issue proved, an unwarranted
degree Of hOpcfulncss. Our own acknowl-
edgmcut of what we did, which we lixked
with the statement that we had been de-
tailed from our commands without our
consent and with no knowledge of the
nature of the expedition on which we were
sent, and the evidence of some Of those
who had seen us on the train or aided in
our capture, constituted the evidence In
the case. But we have reason 90 think
the whole result was predetermined,
although our attorneys were confident
that we could not be convicted of being
spies. The fact that we were not placed

upon his spirits, but now completely rolled
away. All fOrcboding and fear were porf
in the presence of the reality. Others
were bitterly and terribly disappointed
he was not. The gaunt spectcr he had SC
long faced came out of the shadow. and
10! it was disrobed of all terror lie Vas
perfectly erect, with easy grace: there was
not sign Of dread while his eve bclrcd
and whole face became radiant with the
martyrs joy. "1cll them ut home" he
said, in a clear, vibrating tone, "if any Of
!ou escape, that | died for my country
and did not regret it.
Brown, Knight, BufTum Mason and
mysclf-all that were left of the Knox
vile party-wcre even more affected than
our comrades, for we had not the awful
excitement of coming death to sustain us.
Had there been a CLEAN of hope of success
how gladly would we have thrown our
selves on the guards and fought for the
lives of our brothers! But the officers and
the guard filled the door and entry, while
the Jail yard was also fun Of enemies
The sense Of our absolute helplessness wa.
most agonizing.
All this transpired in n very few min
utcs, and even the marshal and others
with him in the door showed signs of i'm

sake Of our common humanity, that they
wished to hasten only because the scene
was becoming too painful for them to
bear.
Very brief leave taking was permitted
with the eight who were in the other
room. Robinson, who could scarcely
stand, was hurried off with the rest. We
heard the dreadful procession descend the
stairs, and then from the window saw
them enter the death cart and drive away.
1t was surrounded by cavalry, and thus
passed out Of sight In about an hour the
procession returned. The cart was emptyi
On leaving us the procession had taken
course which soon carried them out of
sight over the summit of an adjoining
hill, and continued in an easterly direc-
ton Till it reached the Atlanta city Gene
tcry-a distance of probably two miles.
" nat thoughts crowded through the
hearts Of the doomed men we know not:
but it is to be hoped that in this last hour
of life they realized that God was more
mcrciful than man, and found that pardon
which is never denied to those who sin
ccrcly seek.

4 CRANKY KAISER

The Emperor William II is Ger
tainly fulfilling the predictions Of his
enemies, and his speech at Frank
fort on the oder is of a piece with
his war-whoop to the army on his
accession to the throne. An lro-
Qu0i8 war chief never raised q more
horrible din. The new PrussiAr
monarch resembles Sir Theodore
Martins hero, and already like
"Micmac Methusaleh, gave several
dreadful h0wls.
1t is only to be hoped that he will
complete the parallel by similar
"happy Dispatch" Seriously, it is
no joking matter to have young
man of this character at the head Of
the armies Of Germany AID Prussia.
War, and such war us is being de-
liberatcly prepared for by every ma
ton IN Europe, is too awful matter
to be at the decision of a headstrong
potcntate. who Is not fully master of
his own actions. Here Is the curse
of hereditary succession brought
home to us indeed. No one who
understands what is gong on in Eu-
rope can wish to see Germany yan-
pushed by Russia and France. But,
on the other hand, all who wish well
to mankind must be ready to OPP
pose any cndeayor on the part of
Germany and her allies to crush
France-no matter what mistakes
the Republic may have made. This,
however, is what the Emperor OF
Germany clearly desires to bring
about. L0Hd0H Justice.

Mr.. BIalne's statement that trusts

HEwITT'S UTOPIA.

THE world will be filled with wealth,
partly the accumulations of past ages,
and more the product of the present
age, when the genius of man has made
him master of all the subtle forces of ma
ture. Capital will be superintendent,
and therefore cheap. 1t Will be like the
living water which the prophet Of God
struck from the rock. But capital will
then be the servant. and no longer the
master of labor. Labor will no longer
be hired by capital, but will hire it, 1t
will no longer work for wages, but for
profits, which will be proportioned to
