Camp Neak Alexandria, )
May 19, 1805. f
Deai; EJcwman : I am just-..rived. All
my array will be in to day. I have been
lost to the world in the wood3 for some
time, yet on arriving at ihe settlements, find
J have made quite a stir among tae people
at heme, and tuat the most sinister motives
have been ascribed to me. I have made
irtqacht official reports oi my official ac
tion in all public matters, and all ol them
have been carefully suppressed, whilst the
most ridiculous nonsense has been indus
triously spread abroad through all the
newspapers. Well, yoiUtnow what impor
tance I attach to such matters, and that. I
have been too iocg fighting with real rebels
with muskets in their hands, to be scared
by mere non combataats, -no matter how
high their civil rank or station. It is amu3--
log to observe bow brave and firm some
men become when all danger is passed. I
have noticed on the field 01 battle that brave
men never insult the captured or mutilate
the dead, but cowards and laggards always
do. 1 cannot now recall the quotation, but
Shakspeare records how poor Fallstaff, the
prince ol cowards and w ts, rising from a
figured death, stabbed again the dead Percy
and carried aloft the dead carcass in tri
umph to prove his valor ; so, now, when
the rebellion in our land is dead, many
Fallstaff’s appear to brandish the evidence
of their valor, and seek to win applause and
appropriate honors for deeds that never
were done.
As for myseif, I ask no popularity, no
reward, for I dare the War Department to
publisu my official letters and reports. I
assert that my official letters and reports
have been purposely suppressed, while all
the power of the press has been turned
malignantly against me. I do want
peace and security, and the return of law
and justice fftm Maine to the Rio Grande,
and it it does not now exist, now substan
tially, it is tor Slate reasons beyond my
comprehension. It may be thought strange
that one who has no fame but as a soldier
should have been so careful to try and re
store the civil power of. the government,
and the peaceful jurisdiction of the Federal
Courts, but it is difficult to discover in that
fact any just cause of offense to an enlight
ened and free people, but when men choose
to slander and injure others when they can
easily invent facia for the purpose, when
the purposed victim is far away engaged in
the public service of their own bidding, but
there is consolation in knowing that though
truth lies iu the bottom of a well, the yan-
kees have perseverance enough to gat to
that bottom.
Xours truly,
- W. T. SHERMAN.
New York, May 25.—The Herald’s Mont
gomery correspondent details Murson’s
raid through Alabama. He pa.-sed through
Greenville, marching about four hundred
miles, and reaching Montgomery on the
7th instant destroying on the waj r a large
quantify ot rebel stores. Gov. Watts was
arrest* d and reached Montgomery on the
5 h. Th<- people ol all classes appear satis
fied wim 1 he situation. Union meetings,

parts ot the S'ate.

peace.
New York, May 25.—Texas papers of
the 10th contain amusing accounts of at
tempts to fire the. hearts of the Texans. A
meeting was held at Chappel Hill, and a
committee was appointed to devise means
to assist Magruder to continue the war. A
proposition to conscript all males, white aud
black, over thirteen years of age, was sub
mitted. Masters will be compelled to dr 11
their slaves and lead them in battle. The
women are also to be furnished with weap
ons to defend themselves at home. The
measures were to be finally submitted to
Kirby Smith, or President Jeffi if at large.
They claim to be able to bring into the field
80,000, every one of whom will be above
thirteen years of age.
New York, May 25.—General Warren
publishes a letter on the subjec ot his re
moval trom command by the commander of
the 5th corps; he says he was removed after
the battle oi Fire Forks, and not an enemy-
in sight. He asked Sheridan.for the reason
of h;s removal, and he could not, or would
not tfive any. He reported to General Grant
who gave him another command; he then.
April 9ch, asked an investigation, and again
on the 22d, he could not get a court, but
was put in command of Mississippi. He
then details the operations ot April, .from
which it appears he received an order from
General Meade to report to him lor duty
atter he had joined Sheridan, which he did,
taking part iu the battle in Five Forks.

t Washington, May 25.—Thifl morning a
witness was called, who testified that on the
17 th \>f April he searched the baggage of
Arnold a short distance from Fortress Mon
roe, and found passes, clothing, and a navy
revolver. The court here produced the
pis ol which the witness identified. It was
loaded then, as it was at this time. The
court ordered the pistol to be discharged.
Two other witnesses testified as to the hor
rid treatment of the sick and wounded Un
ion prisoners, both in the hospitals and at
Libby prison. They were told by Major
Turner, the keeper of Libby prison, that the
treatment was good enough for Yankees.
Out 01 40 sick brought, S or 10 died the first
night. The weakness and emaciation of
the prisoners was owing to the bad charac
ter and insufficiency of the food. They
were told tuat the bad treatment was iu
the way of retaliation, on the ground that
rebri prisoners had been treated worse than
Union prisoners.
Another witness testified that Libby pri
son was mined and that Major Turner in
formed him that he had seen Gen. Walker
on the subject. The fuse was ready ior the
mine at the lime cf Kilpatrick’s raid.
Another witness was called, when the
Judge Advocate General asked him whether
Arnold was ever in the rebellion. Objec
tion was made to the question. The Judge
said the question was pertinent, as history
had proved the connection between treason
ana ihe assassination of the President. The
assassination was manifestly a political of
fence aud was the consequence of disloy
alty. Mr. Ewirg said when tne court de
cided that the question should be answered,
the witness then replied that he saw Arnold
in rebel uniform in the city of Richmond in
the beginning of the war.
Three colored persons testified as to their
acquaintance with Mr. Muda, and said his
conduct showed him t<f be a rebel,, aud sta
ted that he had assisted rebel soldiers.
A young man lrom Georgetown testified
that ihe morning after the assassination he
loaned Aizerat ten dollars, the latter leav
ing with him a revolver as security. . The
pistol was produced, which the witness
identified, as it had been loaded ever since.
Washington, May 25.—A special to the

There is no.longer a doubt that Davis will

Fortress Monroe, May 24.—A steamer
sailed from this a. m. for Savannah, under
sealed orders.
Mrs. Davis and her four children go to
Savannah, in the Clyde, as permission for
them to proceed north has been refused by
the War Department. ;
Yesterday a guard was sent out to the
Clyde and steamer and all the baggage and
effects of the rebel party remaining on
board, and a large amount of gold and valu
able jewelry, etc., was found in the baggage
of the ladies,but with the exception of some
important documents, whicn were found by
the guard, everything was left.
Among ihe rumors floating in regard to
the confinement of Jeff. Davia has been one
to the effect that yesterday p. m. he was
manacled in order to prevent, no doubt, any
injury to his guard, should he, as Mrs?
Da. via remarked, become provoked at the
strict surveillance held over him. The
strictest regulations respecting persona vis
iting the Fortress are still rigidly enforced.
No person, either officer or civilian, is allow

Randall testified that he knew the pris
oner Arnold; tound his carpet bag with
some letters, papers, clothing,'a revolver
and cartridges.. The revolver was banded
over.
Major Marsh testified that he was an offi
cer in company M, 1st "regiment, from 1861
to March 30, 1864. He was a prisoner of
war aud confined in Libby prison lrom June
15,1863, to March 21,1864; was detained,
when captured, two weeks, on account of
health. “My health improving, I was forced
to march to Stanton, and treated kindly on
the road by the escort; first rations at Libby
prison were tolerably fair, half a loaf of
bread was given each man, with four oun
ces oi meat and several- spoonfuls of rice*
four months meat was regular; things were
stopped then, and we were deprived of
wheat bread, and furnished with corn bread
very coarse. I have known persons to be
without meat three or four weeks at a time.
We had a few potatoes of the very worst
kind. A meeting of prisoners was called
and a remonstration sent to the authorities.
Col. Ould replied that the treatment was
good enough, and better than the rebel
prisoners got. After being there five months
I was taken sick with dropsy, from bad
treatment, and sent to the hospitaL
I saw men brought in from Belle Isle in
a starving condition, and out of 40 at least
12 died the first night. The surgeon told
me this was caused by the want of good
treatment. Two of ear prisoners escaped
which made Maj. Tamer, in charge of the
prison, become insulting, and he removed
us from the hospital to Libby prison, in a
wet room. Two of the sick were in a
dying condition, and wero compelled to re
main there 24 hours without attention, as a
punishment for the escape of the two offi
cers. A CoL Fowler, on being remonstra
ted with, said the treatment was too d—d
good for Yankees. The men could not
possibly live on the rations. For days we
lived on com meal. Capt. Emery, another
prisoner, testified to the same treatment.
The money belonging to the prisoners was
taken from them. Alter the battle of
Chickamanga, 15 or 16 sick were tied on a
cart to keep them from falling off, although
there were ambulances not in use. The
committee of the rebel Sehate knew of it.
