called.
Every neck was craned forward as
short, thick-set man arose. His face
was at first defiant and then look Of
resolution came over 1t: not defiance, but
some feeling making the man different
from the dissipated fellow known as Detch-
ard, the peddler. The witness eyes caught
the calm, blue ones Of his excellency,
and to lis excellency he seemed to address
himself.
Your honors," he began, and the room
fell still. II am the formerly Sergt
Jacob Detchard, who was flogged and
run out of the army by Gen Wilton, be-
cause of cruelty to the men, and of in
susordination, and drunkenness. But,
your honors, l was once d different man,
as his excellency, the general, could tell
you. l was born with a conscience, and
the good God has said that a man born
with conscience cannot destroy it, how
ever low he may sink"
The prisoner paused after this strange
preamble. Ia
Yesterday, your honors, his excellency
sent for me, and he said: 'Detchard you
have bad reputation, but l want to thank
you for the time when you threw yourself
between me and the Hessian, at Trenton.
And, your honors, the greatest gentleman
in America reachedaforw and took my
hand, that wicked hand of mine, which
has done nothing but bad things since /
took to drink and the devil took MY
heart And, your honors, as his excellency
held my hand, he looked into my eyes, and
he said. What Detchard, is the truth
about Capt. Burton3 Then conscience was
stirred in me, under his eyes, and l said:

bring disgrace on Gen. Wilton,

your honors, to bear my punishment"
The witness stopped, with his face bent
forward on his breast Suddenly another
voice. the voice OF the general himself, was
heard.
Il want TO say that L, for one, would
like an expression Of this court, TO the
effectuhat Former Sergeant Jacob Detchard
has acted today as brave man. His case
rObhery-is, | believe, one for the civil
authorities of this State"
And they who told me this taie-you
VIII find no account of it in the histories
say that this expression of the court
was unanimous, and that Detchard worked
| out a two-years' sentence and lived after
| that as an honest man.
| Now, outside, Capt. Burton found Miss
| Polly Wilton waiting for him.
Il feel that / am a gentleman again,
| said the captain of the kings hussars
Whoever doubted that you were, you

eyes.

There will probably be no nomination

official Information of the detail has been
given out.
The name of Capt. william Black. at
present attached to the office Of the
chief of engineers, has been frequently
associated with the office OF Engineer
Commissioner, and it has been considered
with half dozen others. From the fact
that his selection has been most talked
OF it is believed that he will be chosen.
but 1T has not been yet certainly de-
termined. 1t was said yesterday that
Capt. Black. who is very active, we'll
informed officer, and characteristically
hustler" had been favorably discussed
as a compromise. the chief officials hav-
ing found it to be difficult to decide
among the three others suggested. This
has been q matter of rumor in the War
Department for week past.
Adjt. Gen. Ruggles said TO Times re-
porter yesterday that the publication made
to the effect that Capt. Blacks detail had
been decided upon was premature, SO far
as he knew.

that he is to be detailed elsewhere He
informed The Times yesterday that he
knew nothing whatever as to the choice
