time Col. Morehead consented, if property served, to have the prisoner in Court next morning. A writ was served upon him, and thus until about night the affair ended. After Court adjourned, an armed guard, under orders from Col. Morehead, arrested Judge Fitzpatrick and took him in custody, as was afterwards alleged by the Colonel, for interfering with one of his men, (Rhodes,) the person whom he had consented to have in Court next day. After several hours Judge Fitzpatrick was released. Next morning the prisoner appeared and the trial progressed, ending in the release of the prisoner from military custody. Appeal has been taken to the Supreme Court by Col. Morehead. Gov. Shorter, of Alabama, immediately communicated the above facts to the Secretary of War, who promptly telegraphed to Col. Morehead disapproving his course. Gen. Pillow, upon learning the facts, also wrote to Col. Morehead, disapproving his proceedings, and particularly the arrest of Judge Fitzpatrick.
