Court Martial Verdict Set Aside.
During the week President Pierce,
giving attention to the verdict of a
court-martial that tired First Lieutenant
Field, Of the Third Artillery, disapproved
of the findings. Lieutenant Field was
tried on the charge Of INVESTIGATION. The
President. however, did not find salts
factory evidence to sustain the findings
and sentence Of the court and ordered
the officer back to duty. He coupled his
decision with a warning against TIE use
Of opium, and the inference naturally
was that it was that drug and not liquor
that caused Lieutenant Fields trial.
Minor Matters of the Week.
Notice vas given in all the papers
that the Smithsonian lectures would
soon commence with the first of Sc

Prof. HaIlowen, the scholarly Quaker
pedagogue from the ancient Virginia city
of Alexandria. Now few of the old fell

most eminent men in the South were
among his pupils. and Washington fur

against Morris Adler to be relieved from
servitude under the estate of a former
resident of Georgetown. rendered a YER

President Pierce recognized Julius
Samson as consul of Brunswick and
Lunsburg for the State OF Alabama.
Among the more distinguished of the

on the part of the Kansas City, Mexico

line from Milton to Kansas City unfnish-
ed. The right to use the Missouri Pacific
tracks was taken as an expedient to
allow the company to run their trains

bic, and it has peen confidently stated
that the company expects to run its
