John H. Gee, tho late Commandant of thc
Confederate Military Prison, has been con
cluded. There were seventy witnesses exam
ined for the defense, asd fifty for the prosecu
tion. They were engaged in the case four
months, less one week.
Even those ot us, who were familiar with
theimpovisbed condition of the Confederacy,
were astonished when it was brought to view
by the evidence given in that court room.
It was shown that over [100 Confederates,
some sick, others wounded, lay on the naked
floor of the hospital at that post, undergoing,
not only the hunger and exposure felt by the
prisoners of war, but suffering from their un
cared-for wounds,and the sick from lack ot at
tention; and still they did not complain. They
were ontsidc of thc prison walls and knew that
every effort was being made to relieve then-
wants; they knew what it was to go without
food; they were soldiers, who had not been
pampered and fed on the best of the land
they were soldiers who knew what hunger in
the field was—soldiers in thc true sense of the
word. Every witness who was outside of the
stockade and a prisoner of war, testified*
warmly in favor of Major Gee. He has been
always known to bo a man of amiable parts
but this trial has proved him to lie a man
possessed of a gentle and forbearing dis
position, wishing harm to none, bearing no
malice against tbe enemies of his country,
but doing everything to ameliorate their con
dition—for they unqnestionably did suffer,
though not more than thc Confederate sick
and wounded. And this man was arraigned
for brutality to tho prisoners of war—this
man has undergone privations for these pris
oners, and in retnm for his kind treatment
to them has been kept in close confinement
eight months—long, weary months to the
captive—which will undoubtedly shorten his
life, as he is in delicate health.
It will be needless for me to state anything
further connected with this case, when I in
form you that the prisoner had for his coun
sel Col. D. P. Holland, of Florida, and John
Wilder, of thc Boston bar. These gentlemen
have even gone beyond tbe expectations of
the friends and sympathizers of Maj. Gee in
proving his innocence. The prosecution had
an able advocate, though his efforts were not
attended with success. The counsel for the
detense are lawyers eminent in the profes
sion, surpassed by none as zealous advocates
of any case they may undertake. The peo
ple of the South will always esteem them for
the energy and professional skill they have
displayed in conducting this case.
The Court met in secret session on the eve
ning of the 14th, and gave their decision.
All arc certain that thc finding will be “Not
guilty.” It may be well here to add that
the expenses of this case will not exceed
$17,000. “Oak.”

Shower or Shin Bones
nml White Oak in Alabama.
Correspondence Mobile Tribune, l!th.
This day a fortnight ago the meteorice
stones began to fall, and have fallen every
day since, inculuding to-day, with increasing
interest, with the exception of heat. No hot
stones have fallen that I am aware of. One
day last week the young man that waits in
my house remained to me that “them things
kept falling at Emetine’s house; that an old
bone and a piece of wood had fallen.” I
walked to her house and found her in her
yard with a bone that was apparently once a
soup bone, the knee of the shin bone, and a
piece of perfectly seasoned basket white oak,
which was clean and entirely free from dirt,
and looked os if it had come from some work
shop. I showed both the piece of wood and
bone to a neighbor who had come for thc ex
press purpose of gratifying his curiosity. Wc
were both of thc opinion that thc bone had
been, exposed to thc weather some ten or
twelve years. They both fell together and at
the same time in the yard. As I approached
in ten steps of her fence one stone, not sili-
cious, came rattling down through one of the
trees, and almost in the same instant another
fell in four or five feet, right before my eyes.
Whilst conversing with her she stepped to a
chicken coop, which was lying there,I and
presented me with a lump of clayey looking
stuff, about the hardness of a -lialf burnt
brick. She said Tom, her husband, had
plowed it up some days before they began to
tall, os it were, in showers, anil brought it to
the house, but that she had forgotten to show
it to me. This lump would weigh, in the esti
mation of thc gentleman above alluded to, at
least six pounds. It fell in plowed ground where
thc corn was knee high. One tell last night at
hour on my liou-c, with great violence, during
a storm of wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
For want of a ladder I am unable to get it, as
it is lodged in the gutter. I learn to-day that
they have fallen likewise at 3Irs. Sullivan’s,
six miles from me, who lives at what has long
been called “Jordan’s ferry,” or Bassett’s creek.
I was in conversation a" week ago with ore
of the most intelligent ladies of our county,
who informed me that the like phenomena
occurred several years ago in Mississippi, and
continued to fall a whole year, confined there
just as here, to one locality; that the neigh
bors, phUotophieaily, supposed it was some
mischievous persons, aud incontinently mus
tered all thc “nigger dogs” nnd scoured the
whole country, without making any discove
ry. so that the thing remains a mystery to
this day.

Craven relates thc following:
As Mr. Davis was speaking of tho Senate,
asked him his opinion of President Johnson,
to which for some moments he made no reply,
apparently hesitating whether to speak on
the subject or not. At length he said, that
of President Johnson he knew no more than
the papers told every one; but that of Mr.
Johnson, when in the Senate, he would as
freely speak as of any other member. There
were, of course, differences between them,
more especially just previous to the retirement
of the Southern Representatives from Con
gress. The position of Mr. Johnson with
his associates of the South had never been
pleasant, not from any fault or superciliousness
on tlicir side, but solely due to tnc intense, nl-
on tlicir side, but solely
most morbidly sensitive pride of Mr. Johuson.
Sitting with associates, many of whom he
knew pretended to aristocracy, Mr. Johnson
seemed to set up before his own mind, and
keep ever present with him his democratic or
plebian origin as a bar to warm social rela
tions. This pride—for it was the pride of
having no pndc—his associates long strug
gled to overcome, but without success. They
respected Mr. Johnson’s abilities, integrity,
and greatly original force of character; but
nothing could make him be, or seem to feel
at home in their society. Some casual word
dropped in debate, though uttered without
a thought of his existence, would seem to
wound him to the quick, and again he would
shrink back into the self-imposed isolation of
liis earlier and humbler life, as if to gain
strength from touching his mother
earth. In a word, while other mem
bers of the Senate were Democrats in
theory, or as their political faith, Mr. Johnson
was a democrat of pride, conviction, and self-
assertion—a man of the people, who not only
desired no higher grade of classification, but
could not be forced into its acceptance or re
tention when friendly efforts were made to
that end. He was an immense worker and
student, but always in thc practicalities of
life; little in the graces of literature. Hi3
habits were marked by temperance, industry,
courage, and unswerving perseverance; also,
by inveterate prejudices or preconceptions on
certain points, and these no arguments could
shake. His faith in the judgment of the peo
ple was unlimited, and to their decision he
was alwavs ready to submit. One of the peo
ple by birth, he* remained so by conviction,
continually recurring to his origin, though he
was by no means the only Senator o? the
South in like circumstances. Mr. Dayis
mentioned Aaron Y. Brown, of Mississippi,
who had been Postmaster-General under
President Buchanan and several others,
who were ot like democratic educa
tion with Mr. Johnson, hut who seemed to
forget, and in regard to whom it was forgot
ten by their associates, that they had ever
held less social rank than that to which their
talents and industry had raised them. Of
Mr. Johnson's character, justice was an emi
nent feature, though not uncoupled—as
true justice rarely fails to be—with kindness
and generosity. He was eminently faithful
to his word, and possessed a courage which
took the form of angry resistance if urged to
do, or not do, anything which might clash
with h is conviction ot duty. He was indiffer
ent to money and careless of praise or censure
when satisfied of the necessity of any line
of action. But for his declared attitude
against secession, he would probaby have
been given the place of Mr. Stephens on the
Presidential ticket of thc Confederacy. Mr.
Stephens, indeed, held thc same attitude up
to the last moment; but on the secession of
his State, had two alternatives of State or
federal “ treason,” as it was called, presented,
and chose thc latter.
exceptional locality, a gratifying condition
of affairs has been found in Georgia, and the
Commissioners will undoubtedly report to
that effect.
The most glaring exception to this general
quiet is perhaps found in the vicinity of Ma
con, where the freedmen were loud in their
complaints of ill-treatment, both by the Bu
reau officers nnd white citizens. With unani
mous accord, however, they agreed in stating
that the intelligent classes of the whites con
ducted themselves with kindness and forbear
ance toward them, while the ignorant and
poorer classes, including the rowdies, were
overbearing nnd cruel. They cited instances
of murder, unpunished either by the civil au
thorities or by the Bureau. They also com
plained ot non-fulfillment of contracts on the
part of the whites, but from my experience I
know that great allowance should bc made in
receiving their statements regarding such
matters. Many of them are indolent and in
clined to shirk agreements, in order to accom
plish which they resort to untruthfulnes3.

-The
Gen. Beauregard in Liverpool.
Liverpool Daily Post of May 29th, says
We announced yesterday that this celebrat
ed Engineer officer of the late Confederate
army arrived in Liverpool on Saturday by
thc royal mail steamer Scotia, and that he
had taken up his quarters at the Adelphi
notch The fact becoming known that Gen
eral Beauregard would visit ’Chnngo during
yesterday caused crowds to assemble on the
flags about eleven o'clock, and every person
bearing the appearance of “a distinguished
stranger” was anxiously, and in one or two
cases impertinently, stared at, until an assur
ance was given that General Beauregard
would not visit the newsroom until about
half-past twelve. At that time a dense crowd
had congregated on the flags, and about
ten minutes to one the General, leaning
on the arm of 31 r. Norton, of the firm of
James Hewitt & Co., entered thc enclosure
from Brown's buildings. Gen. Beauregard,
who was also accompanied by several noted
Southerners,” was cordiadially received by
those who sympathized with the Southern
cause as well as those holding opposite opin
ions. There is nothing very striking in the
General’s appearance. He is rather under
tlijin over the average height, and is sparely
but firmly built, lie has a pleasing face, an
eye like nn eagle, and very bronzed complex
ion-indicative of much exposure and out of
door exercise. He was dressed very plainly,
but neatly, his head-gear being a comfortable
looking white wide awake." After spend
ing about ten minutes in conversation with
his friends on the flags and in the news room,
tho General proceeded to the offices of 3Ir.
Hewitt, in Borough buildings, followed by a
huge and enthusiastic crowd, to whom he re
peatedly bowed his acknowledgements. The
visit ot General Beauregard to this country is
connected, we understand, with the promo
tion of the interests of the new line of rail

General Lewis Cuss.
Johnathan Cass entered the Constitutional
army as a private, the day after the battle of
Lexington. He continued in the service un
til 1800. His gallant conduct in the hard
fought battles through which he passed, won
for nim a 3Iujor"s commission. Having left
the army, 3Ir. Cass retired to thc homestead
at Zanesville, Ohio, wnerc he died in 1830,

of 17, having received an ordinary Engl Hi
education, Lewis crossed the Alleg’hanics on
toot, and settled in 3Tarietta Ohio.
There he improved each passing hour as
I>est he could, and by his indomitable energy
soon overleaped the barriers which at first
threatened to impede his progicss. Observ

friends elected 3Ir. Cass to the Legislature,
where he distinguished himself by intro

the arrest of Aaron Burr, and tho defeat of
his plans.
In 1812 3Ir. Cass entered the army, and
served with distinction at Detroit, and'after

then appointed Governor of the Territory of

8eaton died at liis residence, in this city, in
the eighty-second year of his age. His dis

He came to Washington and became the
partner of liis brother-in-law, thc late Joseph
Gales, Esq., in thc proprietorship of the Na
tional Intelligencer, in October, 1812, since
which period, until increasing age and infir
mities rendered him incapable of active busi

more thoroughly identified with the
progress of the Federal metroplis tbaiv
perhaps any other of its leading citi
