! From the National nleiligmcf. Case ol Cade Drake. Our paper of Saturday I; st, contained a state ment of Mr. Sexatoii Me .rick of Maryland. iinJ r * Stanly, a mom or of the House t»f Representatives from the Si te of North Caroli na, detailing the circumstan es of their applica tion to the Secretary of W r for permission to inspect the papers in the ca ; f Cadet Drake. r J"he application was refuser on ! l ground of a rule, which Mr. Stanly gi es conclusive proof . that the Secretary of War iad not cons tiered h nding when the Editors o the Globe called on them to break it. It was o: y the other day that « we heard of the refusal by t e Secretary of State to cerliiy to the official chat cterof a judicial of licer. whose commission wa recorded in his De partment, and of his ullirm eiy consenting only on conditions which in one r more similar cases he had not exacted. ! The subjoined correspon mcc shows that a sentence of a court martial V as reversed hy a lor mer Secre ary of War, and tl t oneof the giounds ; of reversal was that the eo> t had admitted ne gro testimony. It is remark :>!e that the Admin istration has not yet produced single cast to prove the alleged usage in miliur trials, in slavehol ilmg Stales, to receive negro estimony, and that the usuage, so far as develop* 1, is the other way. — Nal.

That negro testimony emild in no case be admitted. I 2. That still less coula it 3: admitted at se cond-hand or as hearsay. S I see by the letter of Mr. pflinsett, published in the Globe of Friday, 28t| of August, that there was a case of Mr. Drali , where the deci sion of a court-martial was set iside, because the Secretary of War, in his own language, declar ed that hearsay evidence couh not be admitted. In this me case ot which you poke, and do you remember the case of Mr. Dra e ! Will you, my dear sir.be gc J enough to state in writing the case, as you ren ; moer it, of which we were speaking, and lh- tn grounds of your decision 1 Your friend, ( DOWNING. Gan. J. H. Eaton. - Washington, Sep miber 2,1840. Dear Sir ; 1 reply to you rstily. The case to which you refer I well reco cct; and the fol lowing are the circumstances;: Some person, Mr. Drake per aps, was brought before a court-martial at Wes Point, of which Major Hitchcock was judge » ' .ocate. The re cord showed that some tree ne. ro had been trea ted ill; sensible of the practise , error the negro may have been hired to depart. He was absent at the trial, when the court de ‘Trained that his statement, made at the time, si )uld be received as evidence ; and it was receive*!—the party was dismissed, and Mr. Crittenden’ son from Ken tucky was also dismissed for co tumacy, because he would not reveal the confi ential conversa tions of his room-mate. I reversed lHe decision of 1 e court on the ground, Ist. that negro testimr; iv could not be received, and more especially ii the case before me for consideration, where it \ as mere hearsay testimony. Mr. Crittenden lai o reinstated, be cause I held his conduct, in not evealing ihe se crets of his associates at me coll ge, highly com mendable and proper, and so de lared in my re versal of the proceedings. If you have any object for mt. ting of me this inquiry I beg you to ask the S retary ol War for a copy of my decision. He an have no ob jections to afford it, anu I am l ; tile confident it will sustain w hat I state to you- Your friend, J. H. EATON.

Vegetable Silk and Vegetable Wool.— 1 wo plants have lately attracted much attention in the Island of Martinique, on account of the tis sues which may be fabricated from the fibres at tached to their seeds. The first of these is Asclcpias Minor, or vegeta ble silk ol the West Indies. We have several plants of the genus Asclepias, in the U. States, properly called silk-weed, perhaps this very species, though perhaps here at the north, it may not practice fibres of the same length or fineness. In Martinique it perfects its pods in four months, and the plant itself lasts six years from the plan ting. It has been carded and spun ; the thread is beauti ul. as glossy and brilliant as silk, and as strong as cotton. This remark is made of the plant in its wild state; hut it has been cultivated and both the staple of the plant and the quantity of its predictions are extremely improved by cul tivation. It will grow, no doubt, in Louisiana. The other plant is the Bornbax minor, a shrub growing to the height of seven or eight feet. It produces a large pod which contains a kind of wool, which the manufacturers of Lyons, to whose inspection it has been submitted, have declared tu be as fine as the wool of Thibet. It is easily spun, and the thread is as strong as woolen yarn. Fourteen months are necessary to bring the pods to perfection. It will probably grow in Florida. — J\T. Y. Eve. Post. MARR I E D .
