In the case of Lient. Hawkes, the findings on the first charge and its first specification, and on the second charge and its specification are approved. The fiucL iugs on the second, third and fourth specifications iff the first charge are disapproved. The Commanding General cannot but think, that the Court has been un duly influenced by the degraded character of the offenders, who have been placed in the iron collar at Beaufort jail, itnd has not sufficiently considered, that it concerns the houor of the service, that no want of sympathy lor the sufferers should cause the inlroduc tionaff such ill practices to be overlooked. All punishments, particularly those inflicted without sanction, should be strictly confined to those authorized bv the customs of the service. It neea not be said that the punishment inflicted at Beaufort jail is not among these, and is more su.ted to the old use of the jail as a slave pen, than to a military prison of the United Stales, Besides no ofllcer ordering a punish ment should, by his aousive language or conduct, give reason to suppose that personal feeling influences his proceeding. If he does, the punishment loses all good effect and becomes a source of positive evil. But th« re ia a graver circumstance yet in this case. Bv the , c incurreut testimony of Cooper, the mau conflmd. of his fellow prisoners and of the jailor, the iron collsr was used to extort a disclosure from Cooper of the party who furnished him with liquor. However de- i sirable it may have been to ascertain this person, the employment of such means, by whatever name called. Is Is fact tortnre and a disgrace to the service and the country. The Commanding General trusts, that he will never again have to notice such a flagrant abuse of power by an Officer of the army. Lieutenant Hawkes is released from arre6t and restored to duty.
