PROCEEDINGS OF A COCRT MARTIAL. The Military Commission ordered bv Major General Steedinao for the trial of Messrs. Charles Watkins, Frank Higbt, and Joshua Doughty, young men of this city, charged with the killing of Alex. Heasley, Captain in the 33d U. 8. C. TANARUS., met at the City Hall yesterday at 10 A. M., and were duly or ganized in accordance with the rules of mili tary law. This Commission has for its Pres ident, Lt Col. H. B. Sprague, 13th Conn. Vols., and consists of Lt. Col. Alfred Neafy, l. r i6th N. Y. Vols.; Capt. Geo. S. Pierce, Cos. D, 19th U. 8. Infantry; Captain H. H. An drews, Cos. 3, 2d Batt., 19th U. S. Infantry, and Ist Lieut. Ezra O. Ewens, Cos. F, same regiment; Capt. E. L. Smith, 19th U. 8. In fantry, acting as Judge Advocate. The va rious members and officers of the Commis sion appeared, according to regulation, in full uniform, with sash and sword, and were sworn to faithfully perform their duty by Capt. Smith, to whom a similar oath was afterwards administered by tire President ot tie Commission. The charges and specifications, setting forth that Messrs. Hight, Watkins, and Doughty did on the night of the 30th of Au gust, murder, with revolvers and bowie knives, Capt. Heasley, were then read to the prisoners, who had been brought into court closely manacled and under a guard of soldiers, and the question was put whether they pleaded thereto guilty or not guilty. At this point the prisoners, by one of their counsel, Judge Gould, (who, with Col. Cum ming, and J. B. Cumming, Esq., conducts the defence,) objected to the right of a mili tary commission to try them, they being citizens and not in any way subject to mili tary control. To decide how far argument might be heard on this plea, the court was cleared for conference, and the decision be ing that the question should be argued, J. B. CummiDg, Esq., proceeded to say that mili tary law could not, of right, be made appli cable to the case of the prisoners, no rebel lion against the authority of the United States existing in Georgia, and the Provisional Governor thereof having ordered the civil magistrates to exercise all functions lawful ly pertaining to their offices by law, as of lorce prior to the secession of the State, among which was the duty of trying all citizens lor criminal offences Brig. Gen. Grosvenor replied, defending the lawfulness of trial by martial law at this juncture, and the Commission deciding in tavor of its own competency, the trial was ordered to pro ceed the accused pleading no t guilty. First ot the witness for the prosecution was btinclicomb, a Government official and de tective, who, being sworn deposed at some length, the gist of his testimony being that the arrest of Mr. Doughty took place be tween one and two o’clock of the night of the killing, and that a knife was found under the pillow of Mr. Watkins’ bed, the sheath thereof being upon his persen. This knife, on examination by deponent next morning, to see if it had blood on it, presented to wit ness the appearance of having had blood thereon, at least one side did. Had marked the knife so as to identify it. At this point, officer Stinchcomb was sent for the knife, and having on his return, identified it as the one tound by bim as above stated—the fur ther taking of testimony in the case was fostponed till to-day at 9 A. M. To the 'resident of the Commissiou we are indebt ed for valuable information, of which we have sought to give our readers the benefit. But few spectators were allowed to enter the room in which the Commission held its ses sion, and most of them were young men of this city. Major General Steedman was present for a time, but left the apartment soon after proceedings were tully opened. The prisoners were quite pale, and had a worn and sleepless look, but preserved a manly composure despite the perils of their unfortunate position. On entering the room, from the jail, where they had been confined, the handcuffs, which in Mr. Watkins’ case had been fastened behind his back, (with the others in the usual manner,) wet*removed, and the friends and acquaintances ot the prisoners were permitted to converse freely with them. Quite a large number of persons, unable to obtain admission, waited outside the room, eagerly canvassing the unfortunate occurrence and anxiously interrogating those who from time to time emerged, as to what was going on within. Mr. Doughty’s inno cence, it is a general impression, will be made pretty clearly to appear ; and against Mr. Higtu nothing' serious, so far as the evi dence has yet gone, appeared. In Mr. Wat kins' case, the finding of a knife with sup posed blood stains on one side, under his pillow, is the greatest tact developed so far. Trans-Atlantic Navigation Scheme*. We have been shown a circular explana tory of a newly proposed line of trans-Atlan tic steamers, possessing certain novel fea tures. The originator of the project is Mr Thomas Silver, known as the inventor of the -‘patent marine governor.’ The prospec tus of the projected "company proposes that their vessels shall be of suflicient length (five hundred and ninety feet) to overlap the waves and avoid pitching, and of such breadth (seventy-five feet) us to prevent them rolling, thus saving the passengers from that most disagreeable of life-on-the ocean-wave experience—sea-sickness To ensure the greatest possible speed, it is intended that these vessels shall be of i moderate depth, thirty feet, of light draught, eighteen feet ; and that the use ot sails, spars and masts shall be entirely dispensed with. These improvements, it is asserted, will save much needless friction against water and air, and enable the vessels, by the aid ot four engines, driving two screws and two paddle wheels, to make the passage between New ■ York and the west coaat of England within | seven days, which, on computation, is found to be only about seventeen knots an hour. | Another improvement promised is in the j mode of liviDg on board. It is proposed to 1 introduce the modern hotel system—to charge from twenty-live to seventy-five dol lars for the passage and serve the meals a la carte, at the usual first class restaurant prices. This plan would enable passengers to five in a mauner agreeable to their tastes ot necessities. It is also intended that such a system of ventilation and sewage shall be applied to these proposed steamers as will ensure a constant supply of pure air—a de sideratum which, all trans-Atlantic voyagers are aware, is at present frequently over- The plan bat been approved of by several eafiaeen ol experience and others skilled in ocean navigation. So many schemes are daily proposed on this and cognate subject-, that it ia not safa to make predictions iu r< - gaid to any , but we give our readers, ass piece of news the above particulars Front the other side of the Atlantic we also heir ot an ocean navigation sot me The prospectus is published in London ot a new fortnightly steam line, with vessels if four thousand'tons burthen, between South ampton and New York. The title is to bo the Tram, Atlantic Ship Company, the cap iial eight hundred thousand pounds, in fifty pouod shares; passages to be performed within ten days. Two subsidiary steaoiei* of six hundred tons will he employed to connect the service at Southampton with Aotweip, Havte and Loodoo, aud through rates ot freight will be established between those cities and New York. The enterprise is said to be supported by the Loudon and SouiLwesteya Railway Com pany. Southampton Dock Company, and other impmtant concerns. in addition to these, the proposed line from this city to Italy direct has not been abandoned, but will be heard ot before long. A". Y Post. Desperation. The following is a passage from the very laughable tale ot ‘'Desperation,” one of the rich articles which are embraced in the lit etary remaius of the late Willis Gaylord Clark, lt is only necessary to promise that the author is li Philadelphia student, who, after a stolen fortnight and the gaieties of a Washington season, finds himself (through the remissness of a chum,) at Baltimore, on his way home, without a penny in his pocket. He stops at a fashionable hotel, nevertheless, Where, after tarrying a day or two, he finally at the heel of a grand dinner, "omne sofas," in the private apartment, (ranked with abun dant Champagne and Burgundy, resolves to iiisclnse all to the landlord. Bummoniug u servant, he said : "Ask the landlord to step up to my room aud bring bis bill.” He clattered down stairs laughing, and sbortlv after his master appeared. He en tered with a generous smile, that made me hope for “the best bis house afforded," and that, just then, was credit. "How much do I owe you ?" said 1. He handed me the bill with a ) the grace of a private expectancy. “Let me see—seventeen dollars. How very reasonable. But, my dear sir, the most disagreeable purt of the matter is now to be disclosed. I grieve to inform you that at present lam out of money; and I know, by your philanthropic‘looks, that you will be satisfied when I tell you that if I had it, I would give it to you with unqualified plea sure. But you see mv not having the change by me, is the reason I cannot do it, and I am sure you will let the matter stand and say no moie about it. lam a stranger to you, that’s a fact, but in the place where I came from, all my acquaintances know me as easy as can be.” The landlord turned all colors. “Where do you live, and how ?” “In Washing—l should say, Philadelphia." His eyes flashed with angry disappoint ment. “I see how it is, roister; my opinion is that you are a blackleg. You don’t know where your home is, you begin with Wash ington and then drop it for Philadelphia You must pay youi bill." “But I can’t.” “Then I'll take your clothes; if I don’t, blow me tight." “Scoundrel,” said I, rising boll upright, “do it, if yon dare, and leave the rest to me.” There were no more words. He arose de liberately, seized my hat and my only iuex - pressibles, and walked down stairs. Physicians say that two excitements can't exist at the same time in one system. Ex ternal circumstances drove away, almost im mediately, the confusion of my brain. I rose and looked out of the window. The snow was descending as I drummed on the pane. What was I to do? An unhappy sans culottes in a strange city; no money, aud slightly inebriated. A thought struck me. I had a large, full cloak, which, with all my other appointments, save those he took, the landlord had spared. I dressed imm - diaiely, drew on my boots over my lair draw ers, not unlike small clothes; put on my cravat, vest aud coat, laid a traveling cap from my trunk jauntly over my forehead, and fliDging my fine long mantle gracefully about me, made my way through the liaii iuto the si rest. Attracted by the shining lamps in the por tico of anew hotel, a lew squares from my first lodgings, I entered, recorded some name on the books, nnd bespoke a bed. Every thing was fresh and neat, every servunt at tentive, all augured well. Ikept myself]clo3e ly cloaked, puffed a cigar, and retired to bed to mature my plot. “Waiter, just brush my clothes well, my fine fellow," said I, in the morning, as he en tered my room; “mind the pantaloons; dont spill anything from the pockets, there is money in both.” “I don’t see no pantaloons.” “The devil you don’t. Where are they?" “Can’t tell, I’m sure; I don’t know, s’ely me God.” “Go down, sir, and tell your master to come here immediately.” The publican was with me in a moment. I had arisen ami worked my face before the mirror into a fiendish look of passion. “Landlord !” exclaimed I, with a fierce ges ture “I have been robbed in your house; robbed, sir, robbed. My pantaloons and a purse containing three filly dollar notes are gone. This is a pretty hotel. Is this the way you fulfill the injunctions of scripture ? I am a stranger, and have been taken in with a vengeance. I will expose you at once it I am not recompensed.” “Pray keep your temper,” replied the pub lican. “1 Have just opened this house, and it is getting a good run ; would you ruin its reputation by an accident? I will find out the villain who robbed you. and I will send for a tailor to measure you for your missing garments. Your money shall be refunded. Do you see that your anger is useless?" “My dear sir," I replied, “I thank yon for your kindness, I did uot mean to reproach you. If those trowsets can be done to-day, I shall be satisfied ; time is more precious than money. You may keep the othets if you find them, and in exchange for the one hundred and fifty dollars which you give me the contents are yours.” The next evening, with new Inexpressi bles, and one hundred and forty dollars in my pocket, I called bpon my guardian in Philadelphia for sixty dollars' lie gave it with a lecture on collegiate dissipation, that I shall not soon forget. I enclosed the money back to my honorable landlord by the first post, settled my other bill at old Crusty’s the first publican, and got my trunk by mail. Fhom thk Pi.aims. —Later intelligence has been received from Gen. Connor s Powder river expedition agninst the hostile Indians of the Plains. On the ICth inst. a party of his Pawnee scouts attacked and kilted all of a party of twenty-four Cheyenes who were moving northward from the Overland Mail road with scalps and large amounts of plun der Oilier parties, from whom additional plunder, horses, mules, and letters which they had stolen from the mails, were recap tured, were attacked and killed on the 20th and2Ut ult. Gen. Connor’s men had suf fered no losses in these skirmishes. All the hostile ttands are moving rapidly northward, and Gen. Connor is following closely, pre pared to engage them whenever they Bhall make & stand CIiRRKNT ReVKert OF THE GOVERNMENT.— The current receipts of'the government hum customs and internal revenue are un usually large.
