By No. 33 the sentences in the cases of
Privates Carson Keat andwoney Weston,
of Co. F, 1st S. C. Vols., tried before a
General Court Martial, at Beaufort, S. C.,
of which Major C. T. Trowbridge was
President, are suspended, and me pro.
ceedings forwarded for the decission of
the War Department. The order says
that "the specification in each of these
cases, not only fails to sustain the charge,
but contradicts it. The Court substantially
acquit them of the charge, and the
plea of the prisoners ought not to operate
to their prejudice, when the allegations
arc mnereiiuv uuvv.hh .
A General Court Martial at Folly Islam!,
ot* w hich Major llogle, 1st N. C.
Colored Vol. Infantry; was President,
tried ( apt. Win. Garvin, 142d Itegiment
Is. Y. \\, Provost-Marshal of Gordon's
Division, on a charge of violating the
*>th ArtHe of War. the %>eciftofltion
f being that he refused to receive or keep
one N. J. Bradshaw, a prisoner, committed
to his, Capt. Garvin's, charge, by
Lieut.-Col. James F. Hall, Provost-Marshal-General,
Department of the South,
a statement in writing having been maue
and signed by Lieut.-Col. Hall, and delivered
to Capt. Garvin at the time of
committing the -prisoner to his charge.
! The Court found him guilty of l>oth ;
j Charge and Specification, but attached ;
no criminality to his conduct. Gen. Gill- '
more, in General Orders, No. 33, disapproves
the proceedings as follows:?"It

process of reasoning the Court awards a
sentence after it had fully aquittcd the ]
accused of all criminality. This is the J
second instance in which the Major-Gen- i
oral Commanding has had occasion to ,
notice inexcusable irregularities of this 1
Court during its comparatively brief ses- '
sion. J?ucn conuuci evinces a uispusmuu | (
to he governed in the discharge of its ! j
duties by caprice, rather than justice and j'
equity, and not only calls for a decided i i
censure, but the assurauce that such in- j
difference to their obligations (to use a ?
veiy mild term) will*be no longer toler- ]
ated. Tlie sentence is disapproved, and 1
Capt. Garvin is released from arrest $nd l
restored to duty."
The sentence in the case of Private
Abram White, Co. H, 1st S. C. Vols., ! I
tried before a General Court-Martial, at r
Beaufort, S. C;, of which Major C. T.

Gen. Gillmorc has published in General
Orders, the following instructions from
the Secretary of War:?"Officerssigning
the discharge papers of enlisted men who
arc discharged on Surgeons' Certificates of.
Disability, will note on the back of the
discharge, where the conduct of the man
has not been meritorious, as required by

not a proper person for the Invalid
Corps.''
Bead dock's Poixt.?"Picket," .1 correspondent
at Braddock's Point, sends us ,
a letter which we arc compelled by a !
crowd of matter to omit. He reports j
nothing new at that phice, the soldiers i
being occupied with the ordinary routine
of camp and picket duty. lie expresses
the gratitude of the troops to the ladies
who have relieved the monotony of the

a minute and then answered, "Be- 1

tain saw it immediately.
