KNOXVILLE, Sept. 20. |
.Military Court of Inquiry — This,
tribunal, convened at this place on
the 4th uli. for the purpose of inves
tigating certain charges against 34- ,
gadier General Wool, adjourned on
Friday last, On that day, for the’
accommodation of visiters, the t 'ourt
uiet in the Methodist Church where
Gen. Wool, hearing of a respectable
number of our citizens, made his de
fence. It was characterised by per
tinency of argument and under the
circumstances, by a commendable
forbearance. Much testimony, both
documentary and oral was submitted
during the progress of the trial all of
which was produced by the accused,
& m which three w?sau entire con
currence in establishing the inno
cence of Gen. Wool.
l.'hc opinion of the Court has
been transmitted to the President
for his approval, before wh ch time
it will not be published. We under
stand, however, that it is what in
deed it must be from trie proof, a
unanimous triumphant acquittal of
the accused from all the charges al
ledged against him. The testimony
adduces in this trial from A'abama
Georgia, Tennessee, and the Cher
okee Nation, establishes me atesti
bly that the whole course of General
Wool, throughout the performance
ofhis duties while in command, ha.,
been evincive of a strict regard for
the authorities under which he acted
and of that forbearance and humani
ty, which shoul I ever characterize
our intercourse with the weak & help
loss Indian.

Quite a dilemma.— We learn from
the Hartford Cornier, that a young
man in Tolland co. Connecticut, is
desperately in love with a young
woman and she is as desperately
m love with him. 'This is no uncom
mon posture of affairs, but there are
circumstances about tiie case rather
‘out of the ordinary.’ The young
woman was some time ago, ‘bound
out’by the town authorities to tiie
brother of her lover, ami there arc
yet two whole long years which the
identure has to run. The master,
in law is determined to have his
bond —the husband that is to be, is
clamorous for his wife. The only
compromise offered by the holder of
indentures is'that she should pay him
a hundred dollars for the unexpired
term of service. 'The girl is ainiia
ble, pretty, an I accomplished N the
editor of the Co trier considers her a
good bargain at a hundred dollars oven
in these hard times, Furthermore,
thi' gallant editor offers to raise the
money if the husband w.ll give him a
bond ami mortgage on the property
as sc maty lor repay ment. 11 tin re
is not a hundred dollars iti Connecti
cut, we'll go halt the loan, upon the
same terms, ami forward the fifty in

Integrity is a great and commen

true man, a bold man, and a steady
man; he is to be tilisted ami relied
upon, no bri > can corrupt him. no
tear daunt him; his word is slow in
cuming, but sure, he shines bright
est in the lire, and his friend hears of
him win ii he most needs him; his
courage grows with danger, and con
quers opposi‘ a of constancy; as lie
cannot be flattered into that he !i>-
likes, so he hates flattery ami tem
porising in others; he runs with Ln k
and not with time, with right am! not

the voice which petulantly tells you!

; novelty in the political world; that it
rarely attempts what is impossible
; to accomplish. No, my country men
shut your ears against the poison
which it co iveys. The kindred

Americancitiz ns, the mingled bioo i

happily we trust for the whole hti-

of human society. i hey reared the

“I was directed by Col. Gates
last week to take 15 men, and go to
the Wahcouta Prarie, for the pur
pose of obtaing cattle for tiie garri
son of Fort King. On my arrival at
that place, I fouml that a large num

off, and soon fount! that they had
been taken by a party of 10 or 12
Indians. I immediately followed
I heir trail, and after having proceed
about 3S miles from this post, found
where they had killed a deer, which
| from the fragments remaining, I as
certained that they had, at least 21
; hours start of me. 1 however pur
sued their trail to within three miles
’ of the Blue Spring, at which place
1 halted for the night. Having but
one day’s provision with me, 1 was

left more than 8 or 10 head.
