Hawkes, the findings on the flr-t charge aud its first specification, and on the second charge and its specification arc approved, Ibe find, iugs c the second, tuirrt und fourth specifications of the first charge are disapproved. The Commanding General cannot bat think, that the Court has been ul dnly iefiuenced by the degraded character of the offeade s : who have been placed in the iron collar at Beaufort an. uno has not sufficiently considered, that ic concerns the hOaor of the service, that no want of sympathy for the suffeieis should cause the introduc tion of such ii practices to be overlooked. Ail pumsbmei ts, eularly those inflicted without sanction,sh. uld be strictly confined to those authorised 0\ the customs o, tuu service. It need not he said that the punishment indicted at Beaufort jail is not among these, and is more su.ted to the old use of the jaii a* u slave pen, than to a military prison of die United States. Besides no officer ordering a puui-h uieut should, by his autwive language or conduct, give reason to suppose that person ,! feeling influences his proceeding.
