Ou March 7th, 1865, a party of colored soldiers and
scouts, thirty In number, commanded by Sergeant-
Major Henry James, 3d U. S. C. TANARUS., left Jacksonville,'
Fla., and penetrated into the interior through Marlon
County. They rescued ninety-one negroes from slave
ry, captured four white prisoners, two wagons and
twenty-four horses and mules; destroyed a sugar mill
and a distillery, which were used by the rebel govern
ment, together with their stocks of sugar ana liquor,
and burned the bridge over the Oclawaha River,
When returning they were attacked by a band of over
fifty cavalry, whom they defeated and drove off with
a loss of more than thirty to the rebels After a long
and rapid march they arrived at St. Augustine, on
March 12th, having lost but two killed and four woun
ded.
This expedition, planned and executed by colored
men under the command of a colored non-commis
sioned officer, reflects great credit upon the brave par
ticipants and their leader'.
The Major-General Commanding thanks these cour
ageous soldiers and scouts, and holds up their conduct
to their comrades in arms, as an example worthy of
emulation.

The Commanding General announces with emotions
of profound sorrow, that a great and overpowering
grief has fallen upon the nation.
Our venerated and beloved President, ABRaHAM
LINCOLN, has been taken away from us by violence.
In the very midst of our uational rejoicings over the
recent triumphs of the national arms, and on the an
niversary of that dark day upon which our noble Flag
received its first iusult from treason, and which had
been specially set apart by Executive order os a day
for its triumphant restoration to the place of its form
er humiliation, and while the heart of the nation,
buoyant with the renewed hopes of an early and a
lasting peace, was overflowing with emotions' of fra
ternal forgiveness towards its worst enemies, the hand
of the stealthy assassin was invoked to perform the
dreadful deed.
Language can but leebly portray the enormity of
this crime, or the infamous guilt of those at whoso in
stigation it was committed.
The murderer and bU .abettors will alike be con
signed to the execration of mankind for all time.
Befitting ceremonies will doubtless be ordered by
the War Department as a tribute of resptet for the
memory of our lamented chief.
• Meanwhile, in the discharge of our present duties
to our country and to our fellow men, let us emulate
his transcendent worth as a man, his zeal and fidelity
as a patriot, and his cons stency of conduct and con
scientious discharge of duty as a public officer.

Major Frank Place, 157th N. Y. Vols., was President,
was arraigned and tried.
Priuale Armstead Holmes, Cos. C, 32d U. 8. C. T.
* Charor First :
"Threatening his Superior Officer."
Specification : “In this; that the said Private Arm •
stead Holmes Cos. C, 32d U. 8. C. TANARUS„ did say ‘1
will be God damned. If I don’t shoot him,’ mean
ing Sergeant John A. Brown, Cos. C, 32d U. S.

Specification : “In this: that said Private Armstead
Holmes, Cos. C, 32d U. S. C. TANARUS., did lift up a gun
and put a charge therein for the purpose of
shooting his Superior Officer,Sergeant John A.
Brown, Cos. C, 32d U, S. C. T. This at camp 32d
U. S. C. TANARUS., near Deveaux’ Neck, S. C., on ths
12th day of January, 1865. ••
To all of which charges and specifications the ac
cused pleaded, "Guilty."
Finding ; _
The Court having maturely considered the evidence
adduced, confirm the plea of the accused. =
Sentence:
And they do therefore sentence hjra. Private Arm
stead Holmes Cos. C, 32dU. S. C. TANARUS., to be dishonorably
discharged the service of the United States, and then be
confined, at hard labor at Fort Marion. St. Augutsine,
Florida, for the period of tico years, arui to wear a24
pound ball attached to his right-leg, by a chain eight feet
long, fifteen dans out of each month during the term of
his confinement.
11. The proceedings, findings and sentence in the
foregoing case are disapproved. There has been much
difference of opinion, whether the words “Superior
Officer" in the 9th Articles of War, apply to a non
commissioned officer, but-the Judge Advocate General
has finally decided that they do not. According to this
opinion, the offence should have been charged under:
the 99th Drticle. Private Holmes will be released from
confinement and restored to duty.
