The Local wishes to apologize fur the want of interest that lias been apparent in his column for boric tiuiu. His attendance upon the sittings of tho Military lists taken so much of his time, and the report its proceed ings has occupied so mueli of the 6paeis allotted him, that ie has not able to give that variety of local incidents and news that lie would under other circumstances.

by our own special reporter. 3 Trial of Mai or" John H. Gee. TUESDAY, April 24, 1ST.6. Capt.

John A. Fuqua again on the stand, and tl cross examination continued. Does not know that the prisoners had been without food at the time of the outbreak did not think they had. The dead line where Lieut. Davis was shot was about ten feet from the palisade the line was clearly defined; it was made by the sentries placed there before the building of the platform around the wall.

Lieut. Davis was ki'lcd in the latter part of October witness knew of no order in regard to this dead line, except the warning from the sentinel? when witness saw the body of Lieut. Davis, it had been moved from where he fi-il suppose by the officers in prison. Don't know that Maj. Gee had any other report of the flair than tlsat made by witness the sentry was removed before the regular time of relief does not knov of any investigation of the afTuir does not know of prisoner ever having given any furloughs.

There were no sinks for tie officers they passed over the line under a guard to a place in the yard assigned them knows of no other prisoner being killed there of bis own knowledge heard of oncor more others knows of no investigation in regard to them, of his own knowledge don't know how many prisoners died at Salisbury the surgeon reported, sometimes five or fix, and sometimes as high as twenty. Thinks the prisoners could have broken out if they could have got to the palisade. Dou't recollect of Maj. Gee's saying he bad had injustice done him, or that he had been overslaughed, in the consolidation of regiments in Virginia. Never saw Maj.

(Jee wear a cloak or hat at Salisbury think he wore neither don't know how many prisoners escaped from Salisbury some of the prisoners appeared feeble and some robust those he saw in the yard did not appear to be suffering does not know how many prisoners left there thinks 5,000 or in all saw them as they took the trains, or were brought out to be inarched to Greensboro'. REDIRECT. Did not generally get the number of gnards for which rcqnUition was made requisitions for rations were signed by Maj. Gee they were made out and filled in the usual form. Witness had but little duty to perform while at Salisbury was second in command and would have performed the duties of commandant in case ot the absence or sickness of Maj.

Gee. Saw, perhaps, a hundred prisoners brought back who had escaped never knew one punished. The obstacles in the way of building huts for the prisoners were want of transportation and tools team3 were scarce there were not more than ten or twelve at the post there was not guard force enough to go out with prisoners for timber. Does not think Maj. Gee responsible for the Wilding of workshops instead of shelter for the prisoners by Maj.

Morfitt under the order appointing Maj. Morfitt to Salisbury by Gen. Gardner, Morfitt was responsible that the words in the order erect no buildings except on approval of the commandant of prison posts," made Morfitt and not Gee responsible. Had the guard asked for daily been furtiished. Maj.

Gee could have sent larger guard with prisoners for water when Maj. Gee made requisition for rations his legal duty ended, but he frequently visited the commissary and urged him on the subject. BY TnE COURT. The ground between and back of the log huts was set apart for convalescents don't know how the rules of the prison were made known to the prisoners. Maj.

Gee sometimes wore a citizen overcoat of brown color trimmed with fur, in very cold weather it was an old coat. There was no special shelter for the convalescents they had the privilege of the hospitals. Remember, now, that the prison rules were given to the chiefs of divisions to be published to the men learned this from MrL Lerly, who was clerk of the prison, the cook-house, Isaac II. Martin, sworn Is a carpenter was at Salisbury prison serving ont a sentence of Court Martial at the time the prisoners came there assisled to enlarge th-3 palisade fence of tho prison this work was commenced three or four days "before the arrival of the prisoners of war (witness explained from the map, the plan of the alterations) the lumber used was from the old fence there was no other thera the palisade was not completed when the prisoners arrived, witness described Jhc manner in which the sentinels ire placed. The most of the fence was very weak it could be shaken with the hand Maj.

Jec ordered witness on one occasion to strength-' i some of the weakest places, which was partially done the platform was not finished until -4 or 5 weeks after prisonerseame this somewhat strengthened the stockade they picked lumber about wherever it could be had-. There wa a plan to erect sis; buildings in the prison, 200 feet long, 80 wide "and two stories high one was framed and another had -the Bills ready, when Gen. Winder arrived and ordered Maj. Morfitt to stop the work, -as the prisoners, were to be removed thinks this was about the first of December, ISM. There were 11 menit work on these buildings, nine of them from among the prisoners the tools used belonged to witness and a Mr.

Shelton who was working with him. Morfitt had sentto Goodman for tools hut could not get them because ho did not have them. He sent me also for lumber but we could not get it the lumber for the parapet was brought 12 miles on wagons. The wells at the prison had curbs arid buckets. also windlas and ropes for drawing water know, they had, because he put them there himself.

Ai the time of the outbreak, witness was at the doo: of the workshop heard yelling then rapii. firing the sentinel over the gate was shot am. killed saw the guard running in every directioi sentinels on duty were firing from the parape saw Maj. Gee coining down toward the shop but did not sec hiin again till toward the close-he was then on the parapet ordering the liring to cease at this time there were many on the para-pet apparently anxious to keep up the firing tin CSth regiment was at the depot, about to leave foi Goldsboro' outbreak commenced they came running to the prison, but the firing hue ceased before they got there there was difficulty to prevent them f-om firiug on the prisoners-there were also many citizens who came up, bu. they were ordered away, and all the guard wa ordered from the platUrm except the regula sentinels.

I made buckets in the shop, of old sills, for th. use of the prison and the guard, I also niadi bunks for the hospitals some few axes wen made in the shop, but there were always requisi tions for them as fast as they were made wcusec. the old sills in making buckets aud bunks bceausi lumber was scarce I was paid for the use of my tools, I think in January. Prisoners were frequently escaping, but I don't know how many escaped. A house for the guard was erected after Gen.

Bradly T. Johnston came and after Gen. Winder's order to stop the buildings we were on two loads of plank intended for these buildings was used for the guard house, the balance was refuse lum- ber the guard had no shelter before this they complained and took ic shop to stay in at night the prisoners who worked with me also slept in the shop they got the same rations I did we got lb. flour or lb. corn meal and lb.

beef or lb. bacon don't think they drew any extra rations the men at work for Goodman said he had no tools, and that they used their own. Witness further described the liring at the outbreak. CROSS EXAMINED. The lumber for the buildings spoken of was brought down the railroad there was enough for one building brought.

The shop was built before, it was 15 by 20 feet the guard house was 14 by 00 feet. Witness in answer to questions described his position and that of the guards, at the time of the outbreak. BY THE COURT. There was a man who jumped over the palisade at the time of the outbreak one of the guard suppose he was scared witness eouid uot see the prisoners inside saw 30 or 40 ot" the guard they fell in the ofSeer of the guard w. there saw Capt.

Fuqua when I saw him he was goinr to- ward the gun at the angle and ordering th' uot to fire. Isaac R. TIarris, of Quincey, Florida testified that he knew Maj. Gee from boyhood kuovshis character he stands high as physician and gen- tleman an excellent citizen and useful member of society did a great deal of charity practice a man of great humanity his services and purse were at the service of the needy does not believe he would inflict cruelty on any one under his charge under uuv circumstances lit has been a 1 law abiding citizen since the surrender. The Commission then adjourned.

WEDNESDAY, Aran. After the reading of the journal, Col. E. C. Tcllowly called and sworn was Lieut.

Coloiul of the OSth Regiment N. C. State troops went to Salisbury about' the 0th to KUli October, 1S04 had command of all the troops there for some ten i days, when Col. IXoke arrived. A part of the stockade of the prison was put up after lie got iherc -the stands for the sentinels was put up soon after perhaps within ten days don't recollect how long before the platform round the stockade was put up.

Does not think the stock- tule was strong thinks 8 or 10 men, if uninter- I rupted, might have pushed it down thinks "he planks were nailed on from outside, but is not certain as to that he had a guard placed around, outi-ide to prevent escapes. Witness stated the position of the camps of the forces. Remembers two prisoners escaping at one time and three at another the latter were recaptured and made to creep back through the hole they eame out at it was not a hard matter to scratch out under the palisade. While witness was absent in Novcni- i ber, his regiment was removed a mile from the prison, and beyond the Creek, by the Colonel (Iiiuton) Maj. Gee desired to have a company encamp near the water gate, but it was not done don't know that Maj.

Gee was informed of the escapes mentioned. At first the men had to bring their own wood, but afterward it was hauled on their own wagons heard Capt. Goodman complain of want of teams, and that his best teams had been taken away. Heard of the shooting of Lieut. Davis Major Gee could not grant furloughs furloughs were granted by the company commander, approved by the Colonel of the regiment, and commandant of the district perhaps this last was not requisite no meritorious furlough was granted about the time Lieut.

Davis was kilhsd witness went to see the officer of the day in regard to the shooting learned that Lieut. Davis had crossed the dead line this statement was made by officers and cor roborated by the officer of the day, Capt. W. C. Grandy, residing now in Elizabeth City, N.

C. There was a necessity for the dead line in the prison, on account of the weakness of the stockade, and the inefficiency of the guard. Witness made statement in regard to digging wells, aud getting water from the creek, substantially as testified to by other witnesses.J Saw prisoners going and returning along the road to the creek had seen them washing at the creek. Rations were not abundant or choice got fresh beef for a while then alternated with sorghum had llonr don't recollect the quantities got an abundance of it a very little was an abundance of that sort of rations. Maj.

Myers apologised to witness for the quantity quality of the rations and said his supplies had been sent to Geu. Lee's armv before the prisoners arrived and that he had not been able to gather more. Maj. Gee was opposed to the prisoners being sent to Salisbury, and telegraphed or wrote to the authorities against it heard him complain of Moriitt's neglect and of his not providing for a supply of wood and water for the prison he had no control over Morfitt and could not arrest him that it was his duty to provide shelter and wood and he could not get him to do any thing. Maj.

Gee had made a requisition for 300,009 feet of lumber, but it was not filled, as Capt. Goodman had control of but one mill and did not have force to cut and haul logs to it don't know that he had control of any other mills there were others on the W. N. C. Railroad.

The duty of the troops at Salisbury was heavy, so much so as to prevent drilling Maj. Gee exhibited much anxiety especially in regard to water he complained of want of water and shelters and of the sraallncss of the prison grounds don't know tuc extent of Maj. Gee's powers there. Axes were scarce witness could get none from the irtermaster. rV.

x. cross Bxiimmxr Witness was la- command of the at Salisbury 8 or 10 days from the 5th or 6th of October had no control over Maj. Gee ot the prison the guard placed round outside the prison was an additional guard placed there by witness if. Goe had asked for more men they could have been furnished, as there were 1,200 or 1,400 men there, and all the prisoners had not arrived, while witness was in command. At first 100 were detailed per day, and afterwards 300 were asked lor.

There was nothing elicited further, in the cross examination of this witness, than had been testified to by others, except that he put the woodlands where timber could be got, a little nearer to the prison than some others, but 6tated that it was uot suitable for building stockade and was private property. In answer to a question in the redirect examination, the witness stated that according to the reports in the case of the shooting Lieut. Davis, there was no ground tor punishing the sentinel who shot him described this sentinel, and gave his name as Belch, from i.ertford or Bertie county belonged to C8th regiment, Co. Captain Askew. Court adjourned.

GENERAL LEE VS. GENERAL GRANT. Sundry Northern papers and a few local Conventions have nominated General Grant for the Presidency, very foolishly, of course, as it is by no means certain that the General would become a candidate, or that these individuals will desire hiui to do so two years hence. The Mobile Register meets this movement by hoisting the name of General Lee. and says there is a concerted organization now making to put forward the model hero of the Confederacy" as the State Rights Democratic candidate in the next campaign.

The superlative impudence of these unpardoned and unrecognized Rebels, in rushing after the offices they so contemptuously spurned five years ago, and undertaking to regulate the politics of the Union they sought to destroy, may seem ridiculous now to those who have not studied carefully the signs of the times. But it is not at all improbable that we shall live to find it a very serious matter, if the interests and desires of Traitors alone are to be consulted in the policy of reconstruction. General LKEa few days since was mentioned as a candidate for Governor of Virginia. A Richmond paper thereupon remarked that if he would take the nomination, it would be useless for any other candidate to run, as he could control an almost solid vote. In the same view, if Confederate politicians and Confederate soldiers are to be the future political leaders of the South, this brilliant Traitor ithl no doubt obtain the unanimous support of the insurgent States in a Democratic National Convention.

When did the Democracy ever deny any demand of the united South i General Lee himself, in his recent testimony before the reconstruction committee of Congress, guardedly admitted that under certain circumstances, and with a fair opportunity, the South might revolt again that it would do fo should its people feel iis they now do toward the Federal Government. Perhaps the reconstructed would be generous enough to remain in the Union, if they were once more made the ruling party in national affairs. The great mistake of the Traitors fiveycars ivgo, was in surrendering their positions in Congress and lighting their battles in opposition to and outside of the Union. Should their attempts at denationalization be renewed, they wiil carry them forward under the thin disguise of loyalty they are now wearing so awkwardly. A Richmond paper says, "Henceforth v.e (the Rebels) are the Union party of the country: the Radicals of the Xoi'lh are its With a little practice, the Confederates will become as glib in the use of patriotic expressions, and as apt at Union devices, as thtir Copperhead allies the North.

The simple circumstance thai the names of Gil ant e.n.l Llii: are even suggestively opposed in such a connection, shows that the final issues of the great struggle in v. hh-h they have been representative leaders, are yet to be determined.

Now, as to the question of beer, I do not know the mysteries of lager beer; I do not know whether I evertasted it. How is it, brother Cityler? (Loud laughter as the speaker turned round to the pastor of Lafayette Avenue Church, who sat by his side.) J3ut one thing I is man without beer is safe and healthy without it we are perfectly certain of this state not with it. I ought not to judge severely upon this matter, for realy my information in this country is comparatively limited.

lint I have an impression the first place that beer is nasty. (Laughter.) I judge that merely by the way a man's breath smells after he litis been drinking beer. I always feel when I sit by the side of a man who has been drinking beer that the days of my childhood are conic back and the swill barrel has been stirred with which I fed the swine. (K oars of laughter and applause.) As a result of beer drinking, men feel a certain kind of good nature its effects are obscuring, slupifying, but seldom very stimulating. I have had some opportunity of seeing beer drinking in foreign countries.

In England when I saw the great cans of beer that every man drinks when I saw the suppers of the charity children, the meal being for each a piece of bread and a mug of beer, I was simply horrified. 31 r. Ueecher went on to relate that beer drinking and smoking reached its climax in liavaria, where he had been credibly informed it was comuoii for a man to drink from two to four gallons of beer in a single evening.

Their anticipations were highly keyed, and they have grown tired with waiting, hat in hand, at the doors of the Executive chamber, looking for patronage. On Saturday evening a meeting was held in Washington, to consider the propriety of organizing a new "Johnson party." Toxr. Flokexck, the ex-Congressman, and manager of arrangements at tlie 23d of Febuary demonstration, made an address, in which he said he was compelled to say that the President has not shown sufficient gratitude to those who have stood by him meaning, of course, the hungry office-seekers. Senator Sauls-burs', of Delewarc, followed in an address of the most bitter character, declaring that he had grown tired of defending a man who would not show any thankfulness for support that if Sir. Johnson means to act right, it is time for him to show the fact that for himself, he did not think new organization desirable, and was for sticking to the old organization." We fancy that in the end, some of these devoted patriots, who have shown such sudden and remarkable sympathy with the President, will find that they have reckoned without their host, if they expect him to surrender principles and sacrifice friends to gratify them.

In the Hou i to-day, Senator Wilson, from the Committe on the Judiciary, reported adversely on th. President's message, suggesting a modifier tion of the teat oath, on the ground that it was modified, those who took part against the government would be in the employ- ment ot official positions, and treason would I not be made odious. Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, presented a minority report, stating that the people in the South were loyal, and that it would be tyranny to exclude them. The committee was discharged from the further consideration of the subject.
