JNO. IRELAND,
Lieut. Cul. eth Inft.
Galveston, March 20, ldCo.
Colonel:—I was desirous to Bee you and
to express to you my regret at learning th*t
you conceive, that in my review of the pro-
ceedings of the general court martial, of
which you were President, in the case of
Capt. Lewis, I made a charge of the vio*
lation of your sworn duty, in making of
your finding and sentence, I would say to
you that I had no intention of making so
fjrave a charge against the oourt I be-
ieved, however, and still believe, that the
court made a most erroneous finding, and
awarded an entirely inadequate sentence;
but I have no reason to believe, and it was
no part of my intention to state that the
court committed perjury in so doing,^but I
wished to state that they, in my opinion,
misconceived the obligations imposed upon
them by their oath, in allowing the mitiga-
ting circumstances of the case with which
they had no concern, to influence their find-
ing and sentence. If mitigating circum-
stances existed U was for the reviewing offi-
cer and not the court to consider them.
Without knowing or seeking to know,
the vote or opinion of any particular mem-
ber of the court martial, I feel confident
from your high intelligence and familiari-
ty with the principles of law, that you
agree with the principles I have laid down
above. In regard to the rebuke I thought
it my duty to administer, I regret if I
have been understood to charge the oourt,
or any particular member of it, with crim-
inal partiality towards the prisoner, or
with a want of honorable appreciation of
the obligations of their oath.
Very respectfully,
Your ob't ser'vt,
J. G. WALKER,
Major General.
Lt. Col. John Ireland, Galveston.

Huntsville, Texas, April 10, 1865.
Mr Cushing A very fine Concert was
given in this plaoe, on the evening of the
7th, by the patriotio ladies of Huntsville,
for "Hood's Texas Brigade" of the "Vir-
ginia army," from which the handsome
nnm of forty-five hundred dollars was re-
alized. The ladies, whose names I am
not at liberty to give, deserve much praise,
since many obstacles were thrown in their
way ; but no encomium from my pen can
add a brighter lustre to the immortal names
Southern women have so nobly won. It
may not be generally knowD, that the
clothing, shoes, blankets, &c.. furnished
the army of Virginia, are from Europe,
and have reached us through the ports of
Charleston and Wilmington, both of which
places have fallen into the hands of the
Yankees, necessarily compelling the Con-
federacy to supply the troops East of the
Mississippi from home manufactories,
which without the aid and assistance of
Mends and relatives at home, are inade-
quate to the task. The Texas Brigade, as
well as all other Texas commands East of
the river, who are fighting the battles of
Texas on distant fields, should not be for-
gotten. All other States, even at the
present day, provide for their soldiers in
the way of clothing, and why should not
Texas.
It iB true clothing cannot be sent from
here to either Virginia or Georgia, but
money can be Bent, and with it, olothing,
shoes, &c., can be bought, and it will be
most acceptable and useful. Clothe those
who are risking life and all for our sacred
cause, and you will be discharging a sacred
and-obligatory duty.
The ladies of Huntsville have set the
example ; cannot concerts be got up all
over the State, the proceeds of whioh for-
warded to you, be sent by yourself, (by
some responsible person) to those of our
State, who, among strangers, have for
four years battled for our rights. Shall
our brothers, fathers and sons, suffer while
it is in our power io alleviate their suffer-
ings ? Shall they have cause to think that
they are not only unappreciated, but for-
gotton t Let us render all assistance in
our power. Individuals who have not
seen to the contrary, may say the Vir-
ginia army is well fed, well clad and well
shod. It is true that the Government has
been able to do this, but from some reason
it has not been done, for it was no uncom-
mon sight, to see in Virginia whole regi-
ments, and even brigades, almost destitute
of clothing, and now, since our ports
through which we have been supplied,
have been captured, how must they fare,
>,nd especially those from Texas, who are
>"iong strangers? Let the ladies take this
-„nd and no one can feel a doubt that
rave boys will ever suffer.
VIRGINIA.
They know that the bullet which breaks
the skin counts wore than the esp.'suie
which breaks the constitution, or the
blow which breaks the heart. They are
ambitious eUe they would be unfit for oftU
cers, aud their ambition prompts them to
crave a wound that tbey may win respect
at home. If they are good officers, they
don't want a severe vound—not enough
to take them off duty, but just enough to
oount to their credit.
I have heard officers boast of a wound,
and others speak enviously«f a wounded
oomrade, or bemoan the laok of at least
a scratch for the surgeon to report. Du-
ring an engagement last summer, while
men were falling on every side, a brave
and gallant General came hurriedly to our
Colonel, with a half disappointed, half
provoked look on his face, and snapping
his fingers with an excited flourish, said,
"I declare, I've just peen one of your men
with a wound that I'd give a hundred dol-
lars for, this minute. Ii'b a beautilul
wound, right alongside the forehead, and
not bad enough to kcep him laid up."
Then he added, as if to complain of his
own hard lot, "I don't know why I oan't
get wounded. I've tried hard enough;
I've been right in the thickest of the fights
ever since 1 entered the service, and I've
never bad a scratch." "Have you seen
Captain P's wound/" was a question asked
over and over again in bis brigade, after
the battle of Drury's Bluff; and then the
wound was described with so much gusto.
"A capital wound ! just above the temple;
showB under the hair; but doesn't make a
bad soar. That sets him up." I saw a
noble offioer—a brigade commander—in
hospital, qnite sick from exhaustion, after
a hard campaign.
He spoke cheerfully of everything, until
some wounded officers were named. Then
his pity seemed moved—not for them, but
for himself. "Oh, dear," he said, "if I could
only have been wounded. And I had the
same chance that any of them had. I was
one of the first men in the Chapin's Bluff
Fork, while men were being killed all
around; but I wasn't hit. And here I am
in hospital, sick."
The tone in which he uttered the last
word was that of ineffable disgust. He
would, apparently, have rather lost both
legs in battle, than be brought down by
disease to unfitness for duty. He knew
just how the two things were viewed, rela-
tively, at home. "I didn't use to care
much about being wounded, until I went
home," said a brave young captain, who
had risen.from the ranks, and was on his
fourth year of active service, with one of
the hardest fighting regiments in the entire
army. "I found they don't Ci unt a man
anything if he hasn't been hit. They hardly
believe I'd been in the real battles, because
I'd nothing to show for it. Now, I want
some scar, to take home. Pool fellow.
His regiment was blown up in Fort Fisher.
He was probably sufficiently mangled there
to suit the most exacting Northern censor!
Get Enough Sleep.—We have often
heard young men remark, that four or fivo
hours' sleep was all they wanted, and all
that the human system required. The hab-
it of going without sufficient sleep, is very
injurious. Thousands, no doubt, have per-
manently injured their health in this way.
We live in a fast age, when everybody
seems to be trying to invert the order of
nature. If folks will persist in turning
night into day, it is not to be wondered at
that few last out the allotted term of life.
No matter what be a man's occupation—
physical or mental, or like Othello's, 'gone,'
and living in idleness—the constitution
cannot last, depend upon it, without a
sufficiency of regular and refreshing sleep.
John Hunter, the great surgeon, died sud-
denly of a spasmodic affection of the heart,
a disease greatly encouraged by want of
sleep. In a just published volume by a
medical man, there is one great lesson that
hard students and literary men may learn,
and that is, that Hunter probably killed
himseli by taking too little sleep. "Four
hours' rest at night, and one, after dinner
cannot be deemed sufficient to recruit the
exhausted powers of body and mind,"
Certainly not, and the consequence was
that Hunter died early. If man will in-
sist on cheating sleep, her "twin sister,
death," will avenge the insult

frou certain purposely darkened passages
in the work, b subtle question is raised as to
whether the heroine is out of African des-
cent in some greater or less degree, though
tenderly adored and passionately apoBtra-
phised by her Caucasian lover. This idea
of bringing the graces of '*poesee divine"
to reconcile our people to the proclivities
of the miscegenation church, is not a bad
one; and so delicate has been the work of
the poet In this instance, that not a line ap-
pears in the whole work which offensively
intrudes upon any reader the central object
for which the composition was undertaken.
It seems to be felt that only by gradual
steps can this idea of a mingling of the
races become popularized.
The Wel«ht of a Tear.
A pair of loales before him, arlob man island
welched
A piece of gold— widow'* nil, and into her he
■aid:
" Your eoln ii not the proper weight, so take It

Or tell it me for half Its worth; lllaeks a single

With tearful eyes the widuw aald " Oh I weigh It,

" Why I see yourself, ltl under weight, yonr tear*

Atahltlon among tbe Officers and 8oId|era
ot the Army to set Wounded'
Correspondence Springfield (111.) Bepnbllosn.
Blood ! that is the price to pay for honor
now-a-days. The public mind demands
blood. Without the Iobb of blood a sol-
dier is rarely a hero. This the Boldier iB
made to understand by the tone of the
public press, by every personal letter that
touches upon the subject, and especially
by all that he sees and if he is at the
North on furlough. The consequence is
th at a desire to be wounded is general
among the officers in the army, merely to
get the r<K}uirements of home sentiment.
They know that no faithful service, no da-
ring bravery, no unwavering endurance,
is so likely to win them praise at the far
rear as in an entry of their names on a
list of casualties.
They know that those who were slightly
wounded in the first fight of last spring,
in Mead's or Butler's army, and have been
since absent on sick leave, are to-day giv-
en ten times more honor in their native
town, than their fellows who remained at
tbe front, and were ten times more ex-
posed to the flying bullets and bursting
shell, while suffering all the privations
The Yankees are certainly not more con
fident of subjugating the South now, than
the British were in 1776, of conquering the
States. A field officer in New York, in a
letter to his friend in London, thus writes :
"The rebels continue flying before our army.
Lord Cornwallis took the fort opposite
Brunswick, plunged into Raritan river and
seized the town. * * * Such
a panic has seized the rebels that no part
of the Jerseys will hold them, and I doubt
whether Philadelphia itself will stop their
career. The Congress have lost their au-
thority. They are in such consternation
that they know not what to do. The two
armies are in New England; Franklin has
gone to France; Lynch has lost his senses;
Ruthledge has gone home disgusted; Dana
is persecuting in Albany, and Jay is In the
country playing as bad a part; so that the
fools have lost the assistance of the knaves

In entering upon the campaign about to open,
the General-in-Chief (eel* aacured that the *ol
dier* who have so long and to nobly borne the
hardships and dangers oi the war, require no ex-
hortation to reipond to the oalli of honor and
duty.
With the liberty tram m It ted by their forefather!
tbey have inherited the spirit to defend lt.
Theoholee between war and abjeot inbmiulon
li before them.
To inch a proposal, bravo men with armi In
tbeir bands, can have but one answer.
Tbey cannot barter manhood for peace, nor the rlgh*
of eli-gtvernuient for life or property.
But JUHtice to them requires sterner admonition to
thuee wbo have abandoned their comrades In tbe
bour of peril.
Alatt opportunity Is offered to them to wipe out
the dUgruce and escape tlje punishment oi their
crimes.
By authority of tbe President of ttye Confederate
States, a pardon Is announced to such deserter* and
men improperly absent as shall return to tbe com-
mands In wbtcb tuey belong, within tbe tbortest po ~
side time, uut exceeding twenty d*ys from tbe pub-
lication o< this order, at tbe headquarters of the de-
partment In wblch tney ma/£ be.
Thoie who may be prevented by interruption of
communication may report within tbe time «peo-
Ihed to the nearetl enrolling offloer, or other offl-
oer on duty ; to be forwarded a* aoon a* practica-
ble, and npon presenting a certificate from such
offloer, (howlng compliance with thla requirement,
will raoelve tbe pardon hereby offered.
Thoie wbo have deierted to the servlee of tbe

However, should they embrace the enclosed ty, alter the publication of this crder, are eicln-

By the tame authority It I* alio declared that

Taking new reaolntlon from tbe fate wblob our
