From the National nleiligmcf.
Case ol Cade Drake.
Our paper of Saturday I; st, contained a state
ment of Mr. Sexatoii Me .rick of Maryland.
iinJ r * Stanly, a mom or of the House t»f
Representatives from the Si te of North Caroli
na, detailing the circumstan es of their applica
tion to the Secretary of W r for permission to
inspect the papers in the ca ; f Cadet Drake.
r J"he application was refuser on ! l ground of a
rule, which Mr. Stanly gi es conclusive proof
. that the Secretary of War iad not cons tiered
h nding when the Editors o the Globe called on
them to break it. It was o: y the other day that
« we heard of the refusal by t e Secretary of State
to cerliiy to the official chat cterof a judicial of
licer. whose commission wa recorded in his De
partment, and of his ullirm eiy consenting only
on conditions which in one r more similar cases
he had not exacted. !
The subjoined correspon mcc shows that a
sentence of a court martial V as reversed hy a lor
mer Secre ary of War, and tl t oneof the giounds ;
of reversal was that the eo> t had admitted ne
gro testimony. It is remark :>!e that the Admin
istration has not yet produced single cast to prove
the alleged usage in miliur trials, in slavehol
ilmg Stales, to receive negro estimony, and that
the usuage, so far as develop* 1, is the other way.

Dear Sir: In a conversion within you a
few days since you stated tlftt you had disap
proved the decision of a coun«nartial in the case
of Cadet Crittenden on two tlounds—
]. That negro testimony emild in no case be
admitted. I
2. That still less coula it 3: admitted at se
cond-hand or as hearsay. S
I see by the letter of Mr. pflinsett, published
in the Globe of Friday, 28t| of August, that
there was a case of Mr. Drali , where the deci
sion of a court-martial was set iside, because the
Secretary of War, in his own language, declar
ed that hearsay evidence couh not be admitted.
In this me case ot which you poke, and do you
remember the case of Mr. Dra e !
Will you, my dear sir.be gc J enough to state
in writing the case, as you ren ; moer it, of which
we were speaking, and lh- tn grounds of your
decision 1
Your friend, ( DOWNING.

Washington, Sep miber 2,1840.
Dear Sir ; 1 reply to you rstily. The case
to which you refer I well reco cct; and the fol
lowing are the circumstances;:
Some person, Mr. Drake per aps, was brought
before a court-martial at Wes Point, of which
Major Hitchcock was judge » ' .ocate. The re
cord showed that some tree ne. ro had been trea
ted ill; sensible of the practise , error the negro
may have been hired to depart. He was absent
at the trial, when the court de ‘Trained that his
statement, made at the time, si )uld be received
as evidence ; and it was receive*!—the party was
dismissed, and Mr. Crittenden’ son from Ken
tucky was also dismissed for co tumacy, because
he would not reveal the confi ential conversa
tions of his room-mate.
I reversed lHe decision of 1 e court on the
ground, Ist. that negro testimr; iv could not be
received, and more especially ii the case before
me for consideration, where it \ as mere hearsay
testimony. Mr. Crittenden lai o reinstated, be
cause I held his conduct, in not evealing ihe se
crets of his associates at me coll ge, highly com
mendable and proper, and so de lared in my re
versal of the proceedings.
If you have any object for mt. ting of me this
inquiry I beg you to ask the S retary ol War
for a copy of my decision. He an have no ob
jections to afford it, anu I am l ; tile confident it
will sustain w hat I state to you-
Your friend, J. H. EATON.
Negro Testimony befor Courts-Mar
tial. —The following correspondence presents
tne testimony of General Ca~&, on the subject
of the pretended usage in the .Military courts of
the United Stales to receive negS» testimony :
Ojfice of the Executive Commlwee of tne Re
publican Committee of Mventy six.
W ashington.lOc/. 5, 1840.
Dear Sir : It has been state} ihat you were,
several years ago, a member of < court-martial to
which the Judge Advocate otic >d a negro wit
ness; that you objected to the ex mination of the
witness; and that the court reaif d to permit him
to be sworn.
I am directed by the corami ee to ask you
whether or not the statement tefe ed to is correct;
to request that you would fun sh us with the
particulars of the case; and ft the"', that you
would have the goodness to say vhelher or not,
in the course of your military life, you have
known of any trial before a cout martial, silting
in a slaveholding State, in which negro testimo
ny was received against white m i. If there be
such a case, was the witness ob clod to on the
trial by the accused, hy a memt: r of the court,
or by any body else ?

Dear Sir:—ln reply to you r n eof this mor
ning. I have to state that, soon ass r the siege of i
New Orleans, a court-martial was ield in the city 1
of New Orleans of which Major *. D. Pier, of j
the 44th Infantry, was President, and that a per- .
son of color was introduced a-a v, tness, in be- 1
half of one of the prisoners, j the best of!
niy recollection and belief, the < animation of *
this witness was objected to by I ajor William'
0. Duller, a member of the cou' and now a
member of Congress from tne Slat. ot Kentucky.
Ihe objection was sustained by ■ e court, and
the witness rejected. I remember 10 case, in the
course ol my military services, wi ch embraced
many years of my life, in which t ly person ot
color was permitted to give evident 1 ! before a court
martial, against any white man.ot cer or soldier,'

Ikon Trade.—AnEnglish paper slates that

sudden demand fur rails for the railroads in Amer

had duing one week, had been given out to the
iron trade to the enormous amount of 35,000
tons; and it was anticipated, when this contract
should be completed, that others would speedily
follow, though probably not to the present extent.

Vegetable Silk and Vegetable Wool.—
1 wo plants have lately attracted much attention
in the Island of Martinique, on account of the tis
sues which may be fabricated from the fibres at
tached to their seeds.
The first of these is Asclcpias Minor, or vegeta
ble silk ol the West Indies. We have several
plants of the genus Asclepias, in the U. States,
properly called silk-weed, perhaps this very
species, though perhaps here at the north, it may
not practice fibres of the same length or fineness.
In Martinique it perfects its pods in four months,
and the plant itself lasts six years from the plan
ting. It has been carded and spun ; the thread
is beauti ul. as glossy and brilliant as silk, and as
strong as cotton. This remark is made of the
plant in its wild state; hut it has been cultivated
and both the staple of the plant and the quantity
of its predictions are extremely improved by cul
tivation. It will grow, no doubt, in Louisiana.
The other plant is the Bornbax minor, a shrub
growing to the height of seven or eight feet. It
produces a large pod which contains a kind of
wool, which the manufacturers of Lyons, to whose
inspection it has been submitted, have declared
tu be as fine as the wool of Thibet. It is easily
spun, and the thread is as strong as woolen yarn.
Fourteen months are necessary to bring the pods
to perfection. It will probably grow in Florida.
