I.. e has published the fact that he has such a letter.It ha- been said that members of Hern ml Lee's staff have said that no court was ever ordered,■ I was not aware of the fact. I don't think they will say so now. The court could not have had an existence wit lint the order of General Lee. There are no men who stand higher In my estimation than iho superb soldier# and princely gentlemen of General I.ee's -latT. la si mat no of opinion on ques-tIons relating |.. the war I would unhesitatingly yield in them, but I rvmnot surrender what I know 1 ► their mere la lief. The existence of the court having been established. Hu* rest naturally follows. I have said thirl the court havlna fmlslu-d its proceedings made a lcpori concerning Generals Btuarl and Longstreel, and that that report way forwarded to army headquarters. Borne-time ago I wn-ie to Colonel Taylor asking. Ill in If he had that report, or could ( II where It could he found. In reply lie stated |hat all the headquarters' papers were leit, and then in the most gentlemanly manner Intimated that the report had never been sent. Now the existence of the court having been shown, if the report was not received why was it n -t called for? It Is preposterous to suppose that General Lor* would -ud-r a rruirt and not require a IVp ml of Its piece, dings. 3 mil HI, therefore. believe that the report was received, and was dr-strayed because the General had derided lo prntved tt farther in tin* in iti I i'i‘, and i hi- recollection of it lias passed from the memory of some most honorable men.General. It is said that If then- was a court martini li w.is appointed to Inquhc ini ■ lhe conduct of General Sluari, and that you had no right to Inquire as to Longs]rect,I admit that I have no recollect hm us ti. ihe instructions given on that p'lim. hut I do not consider this at all mateilal. Ut-d lain ' Is snmetlmrK ne-e.s-ary, but whenever It stands in the way «.f justlee and right it should be thrown to the winds. The battle of Gettysburg Is being Inquired Into, The Confederate army under Lee has suffered disaster, Sluurl has fallen under is-n sure urnl a court of inquiry into the fnets, and In the midst of the investigation Longsircet Is charged with disobedience to orders amJ as being large, ly i • . ponslble for the dlsiiHtcr. lt;mid the court nd’uso to report Hie facts and discharge its duty? The court thought not, ami decided 'to report the fnn* and leave the General to sift them. This Is an analogy between military and civil courts Suppose a grand jurv is Invest (gating u murder case.
