WASHINGTON, October 1,1865
The Trial of Wire.
Great complaints are made that the trial of
Wlll2 should be so protracted, but the Govern.
meat having accorded to the defence the right
to introduce a deluge of their witnesses, they
have availed themselves of it with a ven
geance of latitude. Relying upon the hope
that the longer they delay and lengthen out
the case the more chances there are that the
public sense of the cruelties of Wins will be
dulled till these cruelties are forgotten alto
gether, they take things coolly and leisurely.
There is, besides; behind this manifest Pur
pose of delay the natural apprehension that
unless they can induce a general fatigue and
disgust of the whole trial, and hence a readi
ness to support any verdict, so that the ease
is concluded, the interests of jIMPRIISON
DAVIS may be seriously affected. It is
amusing to note how little Complaint we
have had of " military courts " lately.
The whole uproar has ceased. Cittorr
TratOUBON, in Tennessee, and. RENP.T Wins,
in Washington, two of the most wicked
instruments of the rebellion, almost confes
sedly ready for execution, are having as care
ful and as expensive an opportunity to defend
themselves as if they were arraigned before
courts in their own bailiwicks respectively.
One of the most learned jurists in this city
said, a few days ago, that "Mr. WIRZ ?? was
having as fair a trial as could be given to his
master JEFF if he were arraigned before Chief
Justice CrIASR himself.
Gen. Grant EXpeeted in Washington.
General GRANT will arrive here this week,
It is expected that shortly after his arrival
several important military measures will be
adopted, among which will be the withdrawal
of most of our troops from the Southern
States, and discharge of Veteran Reserve
Corps and colored troops. It is believed that,
owing to the great success in recruiting for
the regular army, the twolatter organizations
can be dispensed with.
Freedmen in Missouri and Arkansas.
General HOWARD, of the Freedmen's Bureau,
has received a report from the Assistant Com-
Missioner of Refugees and Freedmen of the
States of Missouri and Arkansas. The only
important item is in reference to the number
of refugees and freedmen, respectively, in

SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE Associ/TION.
I. All institution shall be founded in London
called the Southern Independence Association,
having for its object to diffuse information as
to the merits of , the war-in-America and to
keen before the mind of the British public the
policy and justice of recognizing, at the
earliest possible "moment, the independence
of the Confederate States.
2. It shall be governed by a committee, com
posed of the gentlemen whose names are sub
lOined, with power to add to their. number.
The committee shall have the entire control
of the finances and publications of the asso
ciation, and shall elect a chairman, vice chair
man, and one or more honorary treasurers
and secretaries out of their own number, and
shall also have the power of appointing paid
officers.
- 3. All persons desirous of becoming members
of the association may be elected by the com
mittee, who [sic] shall attest their sympathy
with the objects of the association. The mem
bers of the association shall pay an annual
subscription of at least
4. General meetings of the association may

of a member of the committee.]
The association may be dissolved after the
recognition of the Confederate States by Great
Britain, by a vote of the majority Of inembers,
at a general meeting convened for that pur
pose.
The course of Chili& During the War.
It appears from the recently published
foreign correspondence that the Chinese Go-
vernment by proclamation prevented the
Alabama anti other *ebel cruisers front enter
ing its ports. The board of foreign affairs
would not permit them to do so for the reason
that a treaty of peace and amity existed be
tween the United States and China, and that
American citizens going there to trade should
not suffer injury from any one, nor their ships
or goods be destroyed.
More Inrestigations to be Made.
It is understood that after the trial or Cart.
WIRZ is ended, and all the facts connected with
the Andersonville prison ascertained, there
will be an inyeStigation of the Salisbury and
other prisons of the south, in which Union
prisoners were confined and maltreated.

THE TRIAL OF UHL
TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENCE
CONTINUED.
WHAT THE PRISONER'S COUNSEL
EXPECTS TO PROVE.-
Generals Lee and Johnston and Other Officials
to be Examined,
.
WASlllnavron, Sept. 80.—The Wirz trial Wag
resumed to-day. Capt. Wright, eZquarter.
master at Andersonville, ivasTecalled for the
defence, and testified that he succeeded R. B.
Winder at that post • the tents of his regi
ment were taken for the use of the hospital,
and he sought but failed to obtain more for
that purpose; as to lumber he was equally
1111SUCCOON, the ownersnot having been paid
for what had 'the
precinutly farnialied; an
injunction was served upon him and others to
prevent him from cutting timber; he had
never seen Capt. Wirz kick prisoners.
Mr. Baker. Did you hear Capt. Wirz coin
.plain of the bad condition of Mire? •
Judge Advocate Chipman objected to the
declaration of the prisoner.
Mr. Baker said he did not ask for Captain
Wires declaration,but his acts.
Colonel Chipman remarked that Mr. Baker
had asked about complaints.
Mr. Baker said it was competent according
to the rules of law to show the kindly dispos -
tion of the accused, in order to refute the al
legations that he iwilfully and maliciously
murdered and maltreated the prisoners,
The court remarked that they had over and
over again overruled the question.
jilr. Baker said be desired to show that Cap
tain Wirz accoMpanied his complaints by acts
to ameliorate the condition of the prisoners.
He then withdrew that question and prepared
another, namely : Do von know of any acts on ...
the part of Captain 'Wirz to ameliorate the
condition of the prisoners?
The witness replied he could not think of
any, and among other things said he never
heard that soldiers received furloughs 'for
shooting Union prisoners; he had frequently
carried vegetables into the stockade for their
relief, alter showing Captain Wits what he
bad; the captain pertuitted Masonic honors
to be paid to a deceased prisoner; Lieutenant
Davis was in charge while Captain Wirz was
sick.
Cross4sxamitted by Colonel Chipman.—The
witness had no personal knowledge of what
Capt. Wiredid in the stoek-ade, but outside of
the stockade he knew that the accused putiari
sorters in the stocks and the chain-gang , ; Tur
ner, who had charge of the dogs, told the wit
ness that Capt. Wirz had promised him thirty
dollars apiece for capturing prisonera, but the
witness refused to pay him, not believing him
to be entitled to the money.
Judge Hall, of Georgia, who testified for the
prosecution, was now called as a witness for
the defence. Re stated that he bad been em
ployed by a man n am ed Dykes, against Coloael
Gibbs and Captain Wright, to restrain them
by injunction. from using Dykes , ground for
burial purposes, and cutting timber on it.
Dykes subsequently withdrew his bill volun
tarily, when the witness used his influence to
have Dykes paid by the Confederate govern
ment for any loss he might have sustained.
The witness described the land in the imme
diate vicinity of Andersonville as a poor pine
barren. Its chief value consisted in its timber,
which could be sold to railroad companies for
fuel or cross-ties. Captain Wirz had applied
to the - witness to prosecute some men who had
been appropriating provisions and things of
that sort belonging to the prisoners. He took
Out a search warrant to fled the stolen prop
erty, but thought the process was tineneceSSfUl.
In August,lBl4, he saw Captain Wirz, whose
appearance was that of a man just recovered
from a spell of sickness ; he was feeble and
emaciated. Dogs, in Georgia, are used for
tracking trilling felons, violators Of law, and
runaway slaves, but by the laws of that State
nobody could - be pursued by vicious and sav
age dogs.
Colonel Chipman objected to thavitness pro
ceeding on that point as the sudsequent ques
tion asked was irrelevant. He resented it as
unjust to our soldiers, who bad perilled their
lives for their country, that they should be
put upon the ground of and pursued as common
felons.
Mr. - Baker aatO. tile use of the hounds was
first authorized and made legal by the laws of

and answered them, and had been in Mr.
Baker's office several times; he went with
him to the library of the Supreme Court and

Mr. Baker objected to these questions, saying
that they did not touch anything winch had

Mr. Baker replied the judge Advocate had

he had no right to investigate his (Mr. Baker's)
character as Counsel and discuss it. It was
known that with counsel everything was
sacred.
Colonel Chipman. I did not know your office

Mr. Bakere—Then why takeese thingslui
The court. Why do you.offence I
Mr. Baker. Because it looks unkind and very
bad.
The oourt, after voting, announced the ob
jection not sustained.
Examination by Mr. BalrCr.—The witness
said he had not acted as counsel or adviser for
Captain Wirz, nor had he advised how the de
fence ought to be shaped; he had not inti
mated anything about the defence, anything
more than in conversation as a. WitlloB9.
W. D. Hammond, of the rebel army, testified
he never saw any of his men shoot Federal
prisoners, but had seen them after they were
shot; Captain Wirz never to his knowledge
promised furloughs for Shooting prisoners ;
the order was that if squads could not amount
for their men they should be deprived of their
rations ; no order was issued to take from
Stoneman's raiders anything more than
money, knives. and forks, and Such other
articles as it was supposed they had Stolen
from the residents of the country through
whack they had passedA Confederate soldiers
were punished lilec the Union prisOnera.
The Commission thenadjourned till iffOndwy.
The trial of Wirz is expected to last for seve
ral weeks longer. The examination of wit
nesses for the defence proceeds slowly, the
counsel taking care to thoroughly sift them
all, for the purpose, it appears. of establishing
the following facts, viz t That he was sick and
absent from Andersonville when many of the
alleged atrocities were committed;that he
was not responsible for the vaccination which
resulted so disastrously; that be never mal
treated anybody nor acted wilfully and
; and that although the rules of the
prison were stringent and there was a lack of
physical comforts, the "old Dutch Captain,"
as his counsel calls him, was not responsible
to the extent contained in the charges;
in a word, that, the evidence for the Go
vernment will hot justify . his conviction.
A subpoena for General obert E.Lee was
sent off this morning, and it is expected that
he will arrive here the middle of next week.
General Howell Cobb and ex-Governor Brown,
of Georgia General doe Johnson and Colonel
R o bert Ovid are also summoned to appear as
witnesses for the defence. It is understood
the last named will testify in relation to the
eneation of the exchange of prisoners, and Is
expected to show that it was not the fault of
the rebel government that it was not' sooner
ed e cted. In view of the notoriety of these
parties, additional interest will be given to
the proceedings.:
ALABAMA.
In the contention called at NOntgomery, to
amend the Constitution of Alabama, there
was more opposition to the clause- acknowl
edging the abolition of slavery, than was ex
pressed in the South Carolina convention,
When the ordinance was reported which em
bodied the fact that slavery had been destroy
ed in Alabama, and that the constitution
ehould be amended by striking out all provi
sions relating -to slaves and slavery, Mr.
White, of Talladega, offered a substitute, ez
pressive of the determination of the people to
abide by the laws of the 'United States, made
during the rebellion in relation to slavery,
until the same should be declared invalid by the
Supreme Court.
This substitute elicited a lengthy and exci
ting debate, in which Mr. White was severely
handled,
The Hon. John Foster, one of the most ta.
lented men in the State, replied to Messrs.
White and Coleman in a strain of argument
which told with powerful effect. He showed
the utter subjugation of the South, and OA
foolishness of any one supposing that slavery
could ever be resusitated. He urged the Con
vention to put the ji.361510 of Alabama in right
relation with the United States, and again re
store the State to political life.
C. C. Langdou, one of the most prominent
men in the State, and once a bitter Secession
ist, also made a speech against the White sub
stitute. lie proved that slavery is dead from
the Potomae to the Rio Grande, and that the
doctrine Of secession must henceforward be
forever abandoned.
Mr. Elmore made a very brief but effective
speech, and ex-Governor Winston also spoke
against the substitute, which was voted down
by the handsome majority Of aeventpnino
nays to seventeen yeas, the ordinance being
adopted almost unanimously on the final vote.

have gained of this people—no,
hundredth part—most of it relating to Frank

[The natives are noW loading sledge-it 1.9

I will give you very briefly what the:people
of England and America will be. most inte
rested to learn. When I come down I shall
bring my despatches and journals up to the
time of writing you. These will be committed
to your care for transmitting to the States.
The most important matter that I have ac
quired relates to the fact that there may yet
be three survivors of Sir John - Franklin's ex
pedition, and one of these—Crozier—the one
who succeeded Sir John Franklin on his death.
The detailS are deeply interesting, but this
must suffice till I come down. Crozier and
three men who were with him were found by
a cousin of Ou-e-la (Albert), shop-she•ark-nuni
(John), and lix-too.a (Frank), while moving
on the ice from one igloo to another, this
eonSiii havitu With film his family and en
gaged in sealing.
This occurred near Neitch-il-le (Bouthia Fe
lix "Peninsula). Crozier was nothing but i"_ skin
and bones," was nearly starved to death, while
three men with him were fat. The Cousin soon
learned that the three fat men had been living
on human flesh—on the flesh of their compan
ions, who all deserted the two ships that were
fast in mountains of ice, while Crozier was
the only man that would not eat human flesh,
and for this reason he was almost dead from
starvation. This cousin, whO lies two names
(but I cannot stop to give them now), took
Crozier and the three men at once in charge.
He soon caught a seal, and gave Crozier quic k
ly a little—avery little piece, which was raw—
only one mouthful the first day. The cousin
did not give the three fat men anything, for
they could well get along, tilL.Crozier's life
was Safe. •
The next Etat the cousin gave Crozier a little
larger piece of the same seal. By the judicious
care of this cousin for Crozier his life was
saved. Indeed, Crozier's own judgment stuck
to him in this terrible situation, for he agreed
with the cousin that one little bit was all that he
should have the first day. When the cousin
first saw Crozier's face, it looked so bad—his
eyes all Slink in, the face so skeleton-like and
haggard, that he (the cough) did not dare to
look upon Crozier's face for several daysafter
it made him (the cousin) feel so bad! This
noble cousin, Whom the whole civilized world
will ever remember for humanity, took eare
of Crozier and his three men, save one who
died, through the whole winter. One man,
however, died a short time after the cousin
found them, not because ho starved, but be
cause he was sick.
In the spring, Crozier and the remaining
two men accompanied this cousin on the Bou
thin Fella Peninsula to Neitshille, where there
were many Innults. Crozier and e9.eh of his
men had guns and a plenty of ammunition,
and many pretty things. They killed a great
many ducks, nowyers, 'Fre., with their guns.
Here they lived With the Innuits at Neitehille
and Crozier became fat and of geed health.
Crozier told his cousin that he was once at
Innoille (Repulse bay), at Winter Island and
Igloolik many years before, and that at the
two iast-named. plaees he saw lOW /MUMS, •
and got acquainted with them. This cousin
bad heard of Parry, Lyon, and Crozier of his
Innuit frlendS at Repulse bay, some years pre
vious, and therefore when Crosier gave him
his name, he recollected it. The cousin saw
Crozier one year before hi found him and the
three men, where the two ships were in the
ice.. It was there that the cousin found out
that Crozier had been to Igloolik.
Crozier and the two men lived with the
Neitcspille Innuits some time. The Innuits
likear him (C.) very much, and treated him al
ways very kindly. At length Crozier, with
his two men and one Innuit, who took along a
ki-ak (i) (an India-robber boat, as R-bier-bing
thinks it was, for au along the ribs there was
something that Could be diled with airy, left
Neitehille to try to go to the Kob-lu-nas coun
try, taking a south course.
When on-se-la (Albert) and his brothers, in
1854, saw this cousin that had been so good to
Crozier and his men at Pelly Bay (which is
not far from Beitchille), the cousin had not
heard whether Crozier and the two men and

CrOZier Offered to give' his gun to the cousin

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
The past week has developed quite a remarkable
excitement at the Stock Board and in a class of se
' curities that have hitherto been atmost entirely ne
'gleetetl. A year ago it was oil which was upper
most in the Minds of the stock OpettlWTS on Third'
street and the out side public mil- bete eise.
The king which now rules in undisputed sway is
coal, and to it the money kings bete in boisterous
subservieney. Some of the oil cempanikis that; ft few
months ago, made the Exchange resound with deaf
ening shouts are heard of no more, antimony rest for
everin oblivion. Their places are occupiedby "Read
iag,4 ti Feeder Dam,'; i t New York Misr Bitddle, ,,
- - '"Fulton,"' and three or four other coal
stocks, which promise to make and lose fortunes for
some time yet to come. 'When placing in lusta
position the excitement ln coal and oil stocks,
an inipeetant eonsideration should not escape us.
Of the former there are but six or eight on the
market, while the number of tile latter is Olimita•
ble. Such of the coal companies as are now exciting
attention are, as far as we can learn, founded upon
as good a basis as 0.611k155 to the lot of stock corpOra
lions generally. While coal remains at its prevent
high prices, and the demand goes on increasing,
there can be but little doubt that the prices of coal
shares Will nOt materially retrograde. There has
been, dnlrng the week, a partial sewers , ' in the
more substantial of the oil stocks, though the trans
actions lu the aggregate tome far short of the antiei
pations indUlged In 8001 e time ago, V9Yernment.
loans have been held somewhat in abeyance, the at
tention of the brokers being directed toward the spe
culative arena. Prices, under these circumstances,
might have been expected to recede. This, however,
was not the ease. On the contrary, the ft* sales
that have been effected have shown firmer rates.
The purchases of Oovernment bonds are, in almost
every instance, for purposes of investment, and it is
only under some pressing need of money that hold
ers will consent to a decline of prices.
On Saturday the sales of Beading Railroad
amounted to over 8,000 shares, of which 8,200 sold
before half past ten o'clock. The stock opened at
57.94, and steadily advanced, closing at three P. M.
at iB,N, In the rest of the railroad list there was
little said. Pennsylvania was stendY at gli Phila•
delphia and Erie at 27)6; Catawissa preferred at 82;
Catawissa common declined to 18X; Northern Cen
trap sold at 45M, and Little Schuylkill at 3:0.1.
For Norristown 55 'was the best hid, and 32 for
North Pennsylvania Railroad, and Canal bonds
were rather quiet. Among the sales were Philadel
phia and Erie 66 at 94i4; Chesapeake and Delaware
Os at 91; Lehigh Valley Cs at 948, and Camden and
Ambot , GS at 90. Canal stocks 'WM finite neglected.
Schuylkill Navigation preferred sold at 81, anti the
common at 29. Of the Coal stocks there were fur
titer sales of Fulton, closing at 8; Feeder Darn at
1.31; New York and Middle at 10; Big Mountain at
tB, and. New Creek at l ifi. Of Feeder Dam, the
sales-:reached 9,500 shares. In our statenient on
Satin - day of the receipts of this company for
the. past month, it should have been stated that
the profits in August and September were the net
proceeds from the sale of coal from only one
vein. In less than two ratnithS the Feeder Dam
will commence working the Diamond vein, This
and. the Orchard vein are above water level, and
when the Diamond is in successful working order
tlae monthly profits will be fully $12,030 net. We are
assured that the company , is entirely out of debt,
and have an ample capital paid in for all future ha
provements. The Saw York and Middle is still
held firmly, it having been taken largely for New
York account. City passenger.rallroad chores still
attract considerable attention, There were sales
on Saturday of West Philadelphia at 70, and Hes
tonville at 241; 77 was bid for Second and Third; 24
for Thirteenth and Fifteenth, and MM. for Spruce
and Plne. The Flestonville Company own six thou
sand five hundred shares of the consolidated stock of
the Arch, Race dc Vine, and Hestonville. A state
ment of the expenses of running forty-five cars
Blume hies amount to be $l3 per ear each day, tusk

The course of the money market was very steady
during the week. Loans at call continue to be paid

"In the London Market for American 9V93rities
we have to record a fair average amount orlinsi
ness. United States 6-20 bonds nave been dull and

The chief feature In the market has been the large
demand for Erie shares, at steadily advancing
prices. The buying has been of a very good descrip
tion, resulting In an improvement on the week of
more than $2, the closing price being 560 to 57. 'll
linois shares have in some degree sympathized in
the rise, as they M05e79340;4, or nearly $1 above our
