Considering the low esteem in which he evidently held an indifferent shot, it has always been a mystery to us how his master obtained a sufficient ascendancy over him to break him as he was broken.

Jas. Lyons and Gen. Geo. W. Randolph, arriving a few minutes afterwards. About half-past 12 o'clock the names of the following witnesses were called: Gen. John H. Winder, Capt.

Dr. Erasmus Powell was first examined, and testified that he had been acquainted with Mrs. Allan for five or six years; knew her intimately, and, having corresponded frequentlg the hypocrite. Another witness, and the one who had been entrusted with the letters to be sent North, testified that he had received through the hands of Dr. Powell, some time about the 1st or 10th of June a letter to be sent North. It had been his practice to forward through the hands of different blockade runners letters in his hands, before delivering them to the blockade-runner — did so because he felt it his duty.
