answer to the resolution of. the Senate, Of,
the 30th tilt., requesting the President, if net
incompatible with' the public' interests,' to
communicate to the Senate a,copy of the
late report of Major General Sherman upon
the condition of the States in his Depart
anent, in which he has lately niade a tour of
inspection. I transmit herewith a copy of a
communication, dated December 22d, 1865,

by Major General Sherman, commanding

[Signed]' ANDREW :TOHNSON.
HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF
'THE MISSISSIPPI, ST. LOINS, Mo.,_ Dec. 22,
1865.—General T. A. Rawlins, Chief of Rtaff,
Washington, D. C.—GENERAL:—I have' nat
returned from a partial inspection of the
Department of Arkansas. It was my pur
pose to have extended my visit up to . Fort
Smith, but the Arkansas River was too low,
and I limited it to Little Rock. The route
usually traveled remains substantially as it
was during the war, by way of White River
to Duval's Bluff, and hence forty-eight miles
of railroad to Little Rock.
The Arkansas River is at all seasons too
precarious to be relied on, but the White
River, lying in the alluvion of the Missis
sippi, retains at all seasons of the year a
depth of water of three and a half feet as
far up as Duval's Bluff. The railroadhence
to Little Rock ,is in good enough condition
- for altpresent purposes, and has been re
stored to the possession of the company who
built it, and is operated to the satisfaction of
'Gen. Reynolds and his Chief Quartermaster,
Oil. Noble. . , • , •
- •
It would contribute much to our military
conveniences, as'well as to the general inte
rests of the State of Arkansas, if the railroad
could be finished to Memphis. I saw Mr.
N. C. Brinkley, of Memphis, President, of
the railroad , company, who seemed very
anxious to finish it, but said the company
had lost so much by the war, that unless he
could receive help from the Government, he
feared he could not undertake it.
The, road was once in operation from
- Memphis to Madison, on the St. Francis
river, with a fine bridge completed over
that stream, and at the. time the Federal
army occup ied. Memphis, in 1862, he had a
thousand tons of railroad iron on hand
ready to be applied on the unfinished sec
tion between Madison and Daval's Bluff,
but this iron was taken by us ' and carried
away to Columbus, Ky., and used in re
pairs on the Mobile and. Ohio Railroad,then
in our military possession from Columbus
tOCorinth. The costly • bridge 'over the St.
Francis was burned' by the rebel General
Hindman.
Mr. Brinkley agreed if we could help him
to grade the road from Madison to Dural's
Bluff, and to cut in the woods along the
line the necessary number of ties; he would
undertake to purchase on credit the neces
sary quantity of iron, and to construct
the bridge necessary to make a con
tinuous railroad from Memphis to Little
Bock.
General Reynolds has now at Helena
three colored regiments, at Pine Bluff one,
and at Little Rock another. He could
easily apply the labor of two or more of
these regiments to the grading of the road
and getting out the ties, and' . Mr. Brinkley
agrees to pay for this labor. in' land, belong
ing to the CoMpany, lying adjacent to the
road: General Reynolds, uommanding the
Department, and Sprague, Commissioner of
Freedmen in Arkansas, approve heartily
of this plan, and I think are sufficiently
interested in this road to encourage it by qll
means.
Accordingly I ask that, unless it be pro
posed to muster out the colored regiments,
that the War Department will sanction the
plan sofar as to authorize General Rey
nolds to order the execution of the work
during the present winter and spring
months. I found all the troops in
Arkansas in good condition and well
commanded. General Reynolds being ad
mirably qualifted and adapted to his com
mand.
Gen; Sprague also has the respect of the
civil and military authorities.
The negroes in .A.rkansas can all find pro
fitable and lucrative employment, and are
protected in all their rights and property by
the civil authorities. I met no one, citizen
or soldier, who questioned or doubted that
their freedom was as well assured in Ar
kansas as in Ohio.
Governor Murphy told me that negroes
could acquire title to real estate or any kind
of property, and that the Courts, both
- Federal and State, could and would protect
them. There was a universal expression of
confidence in the present conditon of affairs,
except on the part of some former rebels,
who thought the present teat oath prescribed
for them too stringent and severe.
A convention of them, convened I know
not how, was in session at Little Rock when
I was there. A committee from it waited
on General Reynolds and myself, inviting
us to attend. We agreed to go, provided no
debate or proceedings were in - progress
during our visit. On our entrance to'the
ball the President addressed us in language
as loyal and earnest as possible, and asked
our advice. I responded and gave them the
best advice I knew how, amounting sub
stantially as follows:
That political matters, since the conclu
sion of hostilities, had progressed and were
still progressing as fast as they could
expect. That I doubted if any action on
their part, as a Convention of the State,
would be regarded as the act of Arkansas.
but that any respectful .representation of
facts from them, in their individual capa
cities, in the'nature of a petition to General
Reynolds, to President Johnson, or the
National Congress, would doubtless receive
every possible consideration.
At the same time I called their attention
to the poverty of their country, and how
much better it would be for them to give
their personal attention each to their own
affairs rather than bother themselves with
general matters of politics. After leaving
"Attie Rock, I learned that the Convention
bad adjourned, so that I hope things there
will remain as quiet as before.
Indeed, so far as my observation goes,
there is perfect satisfactionfelt by all classes
of the people, except on the part of a very
few who are looking to futnre combinations
involving the local and unimportant State
offices.
I found everywhere in the South a large
number of our officers and soldiers looking
out for land and employment, and I doubt
not that during the year all the land which
is cleared will be under cultivation, a large
part of it under the direction of energetic
young men, and that all branches of busi
ness in . ,Askansas will be stimulated by the
hresence of a , class of men which has not
eretofore resided in that State. -
Single individuals now travel unarmed
from one `part of the State to another, and
Gen. Reynolds is rarely called upon to
afford military protection to any one, white
or black.
I am, with respect, your obedient servant,
W. T. &Emmert,
Major -General
Commanding.

2.' EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D.
C., Oct. 2, 1865.—Dear Sir :—lt may become
necessary that the Government prosecute
some high crimes and. misdemeanors corn,
mitteel against the United States within the
District of Virginia. Permit me to inquire
whether the Circuit Court of the United
States for that District is so far organized
and in conditiorrto exercise its functions,
that yourself or either of the Associate Jus
tices of the Supreme Court will hold a term
of the Circuit Court there during the autumn
or early winter for the trial of causes.
Very respectfully,
[Signed] ANDREW JOHNSON.
To the Hon. S. P. Chase, Chief Juaticeof the
upreme Court.
Am:mu:wow, Thursday , evening, Oct.
12; 1865.—Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 2d
instant; directed to Cleveland and forwarded
to Sandusky reached 'me there night' before
last. I left for Washington yesterday morn
ing and am just arrived. To your inquiry
whether a term of the - Circuit 'Court of the
United Stotes for the District of Virginia
Will be held by' n3Yaelf or one of the
Associate ' Justices of the Supreme
Court during the - autumn or early winter,
I reepectfully reply in the negative. ' Un
der ordinary circumstances, the regular
term,, 'authorized by Congress, would be
held on the fourth Monday of November,
Which this year will be the 27th. Only a
week will intervene' belween that day and
the commencement of the annual term of
the Supreme Court, when all the Judges
are required to be in attendance at Wash
ington.
That time is too short for the transaction
of any important business. Were this
otherwisel so ranch doubt the propriety of
holding Ci rcuit Courts of the United States
in States which have been declared by the
executive and legislative departments of
the National Government to be in rebellion,
and therefore subjected to martial law be
fore the ample restoration of their broken
relations with the nation and the superse
dure of the military by , the civil adminis
tration, that I rurn unwilling to hold such
Courts in such States within my cnrcuit,
which includes Virginia, until Congress
shall have had an opportunity to consider
and act on the whole subject.
_ . _
A civil court, in a district under martial
law, can only act by the sanction and under
the supervision of the military power, and
I cannot think it becomes the Justices of
the Supreme Court to exercise jurisdiction
under such conditions. In this view it is
proper to say that Mr. Justice Wayne,
whose ivhole circuit is in the rebel States,
concurs with me.
I have had no opportunity of consulting
the other justices, but the Supreme Court
has hitherto declined to consider cases
brought before it by appeal or writ of error
from Circuit or District Courts in the rebel
portion of the country. No very reliable
inference, it is true, can be taken from this
action, for circumstances have greatly
changed since the Court adjourned, but so
far as it goes it favors the conclusion of my -
self and Mr. Justice Wayne.
With great respect, yours, very truly,
[Signed] S. P. CHASE.

In the case of Christian Berger, charged
with the murder of Miss Mary L. Watts,
after the close of our report yesterday, John
O'Byrne, Esq., atunrned up the evidence on
the part of the defence. After reverting to
the public clamor against the prisoner ' and
the fact that everybody had deserted him,
he referred to the alleged confession. He
pointed out the unreliability of such admis
sions, as they had frequently been made by
innocent parties. At the battle of Stone
river it was noticed that animals and birds
cowered for protection under the cannon
which was belching out destruction
all around them. They ran from
one danger to that which was greater.
The excitement had bewildered
them, and they knew not whither to go.
So with Berger. He sought protection and
ease from the moral torture which was
pressing upon him, by a quasi admis
sion that he was guilty. He wanted
peace and rest. His soul wys bursting with
grief; his wife, a newly-made mother, dying
from the shock of the arrest; his name
clouded and blackened—bereft of friends.
What wonder, then, that a mind, at no time
very strong, should have given way, and
he should admit his participation in the
murder while subjected to such torture ?
Mr. O'Byrne quoted from a number of au
thorities, to show that confessions were not
reliable. Their narration before a jury
might be affected by a change in emphasis,
or inflection of the voice. In conclusion,
the counsel urged, therefore, to weigh well
the evidence, and give the prisoner the
benefit of any circumstance tending to
prove his innocence.
Charles W. Brooke, Esq., followed. Lie
said there were five important and distinct
ive points set out by the Commonwealth:
Ist. The prisoner was seen in the vicinity of
the house of Miss Watt on the morning of
the murder. 2d. The footprints in the snow.
3. The possession of a sum of 'money, and
his not accounting for it. 4th. The finding
of the razor. sth. What the Commonwealth
dignified with the name of the confession of
the prisoner. The place where the prisoner
was seen was a public highway,and he cared
not how often he had been seen• there. As to
the second point, he referred to the convic
tion of Swift in this'court,on evidence pfhis
boots fitting tracks in the snow, and it was
afterwards ascertained that hewas innocent,
Also the case where a man was hung for
murder;and his:daughter,ori her death-bed
confessing she committed the murder,wear
ing her father's boots to the place. As to the
possession of money by the prisoner, there
was nothing to show that he was out of
moneyhaving had some a short time before
at the German doctor's. It was shown by
the Commonwealth that the prisoner had
been distinctly informed .that Miss Watts
kept her money in bank, and not in her
house. As to the razor,Mr. Brooke referred
to the fact of no blood being found on the
top of it, and argued that it would be im
possible to inflict such a wound without
causing the entire blade to be spotted or
covered with blood. In the great majority
of cases tried the murderer had some blood
on his clothing, but this prisoner had: not; a
spot. He referred to various authorities,
showing that confessions were not reliable,
and to a number of cases where innocent
persons had been convicted on circurastan.-
gal evidence. He concluded with a Inas
terly appealfor mercy towardsthe prisoner,
Distiiet Mtorney Mann closed the case.
Judge Allison charged the jury at great
length, reviewing the evidence in a clear
manner and explaining the law of homi
cide. , •
The bill of indictment was handed to, the
jury at fifteen minutes past seven, and at
eight orclock they returned with: a yerdict
of gwaty of murder in the first, degree.,
The jury were polled at the request of
prisoner's counsel, and each answered,
,',!guilty of murder in the first degree."
.Counsel for prisoner asked that a motion
for a new trial and an arrest ofjudgrnent be
entered on the recor.ds. 1. • :
The prisoner received the announcement

..October 27th, 1865, Senor Ratner° calls the
attention of the Secretary of State to the ex
ercise of authority by the adventurer called
Don Fernando 'Maximilian,Tof
_lEf.apsbUrg;_
and especially to the point that the Company
engages to carry material of' war of the ,in
vading army of Mexico, and that the agents
of thVCompany are;specral agents Of entd-=
gration.
Under date of November lst,'Mr. Seward
says that when such agents or citizens of the
United States, acting "with them, shall in-'
fringe, in any-way, the laws or treaties of
the; -United States, or the law o nations,
affecting the Republic of Mexico, proper
measures i. of redress -will . be . promptly
taken. -
On the same day Lieut.-General - Grant
sent to the Secretary . of State a notice of
i
the organization f this express company,
and expressed e opinion that. it was
established for e undoubted purpose of
aiding the Impersd Government of that
country.
i
Mr. Seward rep es the same day that pro
per measures hay been adopted to prevent
the violation of th laws of the United States
and treaty. stipule 'one with Merico.
These measures are indicated in a note to
the United States Attorney, D. S. Dickin
son in which he is, directed diligently to
watch! the operations of the Mexican Ex
press Company, and sat in the premises as
his sound judgment and discretion should
dictate, to prevent any 'violation of the just
obligations of the Government towards the
Constitution and recognized Government of
Mexico. Communications during the past
month prove the pretense:that . Juarez had
assented to the enterprise to be false. '
On Jan. 31st, Mr. Seward acknowledges
the receipt of a communication with inolo
sures from the Mexican Government.
IJumociciuct TIER Rocs.—The great cost of
silver and gold arises not so much from
their scarcity in the earth, as the difficulty
of extracting them from their stony com
binations. - Dr. J. C. Ayer, the well-known
chemist of Massachusetts, has cat this gor
dian knot. After having merited and re
ceived the gratitude of half mankind, by
his remedies that cure their diseases, he is
now winning the other half, by opening for
them an easy road to the exhaustless trea
sures of the hills. He has discovered and
published a chemical process, which renders
at little cost, the hardest rocks and ores
friable like chalk, so that the precious
metals are loosed from their confinement,
and easily gathered. Mines too poor to
pay, may be worked at a profit now, and
the yield of rich mines is largely in
creased, while the cost of extracting the
metals from the ore is diminished. Either
is a great achievement, to enrich mankind,
or cure their diseases. But we are informed
our celebrated countryman adheres to the
latter as his specialty and:chief ambition.—

RIGHTS FOR SAT.7I.
It is one of the roost uSefal inventions fbr domestic
use ever offered to the public. The flour is sifted in
one.quarter the time (and much better than by any
ether process) by putting the floor in Abe top of the
Bifter, then, by turning the, crank, the Moor passes
through the sieve with "great rapidit. clean, very
*Doe and Ilea. This , Sifter has no India rubber
. rollers to grind the,dirt. such ea bugs, worms, files,
but sifts all articles and leaves the dirt .remaining
.in the sieve; theßilteris made of tin. is very neat and
easy to keep clean: It . is the. only Sifter flow in use
that gives SATISFACTION.. Every Elfter is 'warrant
ed. Be sure and, ask' for Spencer's Patent Tin. Sifter..
