w Mrs. Allan well; she was an intimate friend and a frequent visitor of his family. He had frequent conversations with her about the war, and on all occasions had heard her express the warmest interest in our final success. He had introduced conversations about the war himself, but never found her disposed to shrink from talking on the subject. Never had a doubt of her loyalty. Mr. --, formerly from Washington, but at present a resident of Goochland, was in Washington in the summer of 1862, when Mrs. Allan was there. Mrs. A. called on his father's family to deliver a letter which she had brought from Richmond to one of the family. She spent the morning with the family. Mr. -- entered his father's house about an hour after Mrs. A left. He then found his sisters and some other ladies talking over Mrs. Allan's visit to them that morning, and they informed him what she had said about the war. [This gentleman was about to relate what Mrs. Allan had said at his father's house, wh

Winder was then called to the stand by the Government.--He examined the letter which caused Mrs.wer, Mrs. Allan raised her hands up and said, "I swear I know nothing about it." Subsequently Gen. Winder called on Mrs. Allan, and, upon interrogation, received the reply from her that the letter haot know who he was; had no acquaintance with him, but believed it was --; he was a lame man. General Winder was then asked by Mrs. Allan what would be done with her; his reply was, he thought she woulnation; but finding nothing sustaining the charge, dismissed him. Upon examination by counsel Gen. Winder said Mrs. Allan knew nothing of the lame man's being a correspondent, but he had obtained the but at a subsequent interview acknowledged it had been given to her servant in the market. He (Winder) believed she was the author of the letter in question, and so told Mrs. A. Then left Mr. Hoge's

for four years; had stopped at her house several times; had conversed with her frequently upon the subject of the war, and the impression always left upon his mind was that she was loyal to the South. Rev. Geo. D. Mortimer, an Episcopal minister in Goochland county, had known Mrs. Allan for some years; she was a member of his church. Knew her well. Did not know positively whether in conversations with her she had expressed herself in favor of the South; could not recollect. Dr. Geo. W. Harris, of Goochland, knew Mrs. Allan well; she was an intimate friend and a frequent visitor of his family. He had frequent conversations with her about the war, and on all occasions had heard her express the warmest interest in our final success.

R,) she had, during her absence at the North, and while at her father's home in Cincinnati, made the acquaintance of a nephew of his who was in the Federal army. Knowing him to be a relative of the Secretary of War she conversed with him, and believed him more of a Southern than a Northern man, though he was in the Yankee service. Since then this gentleman has been killed in battle. Capt. Guy, State Senator from Goochland, testified that soon after the breaking out of the war he enlisted in the Confederate service and raised a military company. Previous to his entering the service he had not gone often into society, and therefore had a very slight, if any, acquaintance with Mrs. Allan; but during the two or more weeks his company was preparing for taking the field he was frequently in her presence. She took a very decided interest in equipping the company, and not only put he

counsel, Messrs. Lyons and Randolph, arrived, preceded by P. H. Aylett, Esq., the Attorney for the Government. The examination was resumed by a question from Mr. Lyons of Dr. Powell, as to whether he had received a note from Mrs. Allan on the 24th of June, inquiring if he (Dr. P.) had sent a letter enclosed to him a few days before to go North, and what impression was made upon his mind with regard to Mrs. A.'s anxiety about it.--Dr. P. thought nothing of the circumstance; had no suspicions, and did not think it strange she should be anxious about it. He made no communication to Mrs. Allan about the letter from the time he placed it in the hands of Mr. -- to the day on which he received her note, (on the 24th of June, about twelve or fourteen day afterwards,) inquiring whether he had sent it. Saw — and inquired of him if he had sent the letter to its destination. Learned that he had not, but expected to have an opportunity to send it off in a day or two. Gen. John H. Winder w

She remained during the progress of the examination with her veil down, and on no occasion did she reveal her features to the carious gaze of the spectators who were in attendance. In a short time afterwards her counsel, Messrs. Lyons and Randolph, arrived, preceded by P. H. Aylett, Esq., the Attorney for the Government. The examination was resumed by a question from Mr. Lyons of Dr. Powell, as to whether he had received a note from Mrs. Allan on the 24th of June, inquiring if he (Dr. P.ich Mrs. Allan had an hour before left.] Mr. --then proceeded. He said: Mrs. Allan, besides bringing a letter to his father from some resident of Richmond, also brought one, or a message, for Dr. --, a Confederate prisoner in that city. Gen. Randolph then arose and said that it was proper to state that when Mrs. Allan returned from one of her visits to the North, and while he was Secretary of War, she came to his office as soon as she arrived in the city, and, introducing herself, told hi

but afterwards agreeable feelings prevailed between them. Mr. Thos. W. McMahon was then called to the stand to testify as to the handwriting of Mr. --, the man who Mrs. Allan alleged had given her servant the letter in the market to be sent North. Mr. McM., after looking at the writing closely, answered that he did not think Mr. -- could have written it. He was familiar with his writing; it was of a "sprawling and unstylish character," while the chirography of the letter signed "Santa Trtents of the letter which caused her arrest, indignantly denied writing that letter and said, was there any one who knew her that could believe she was base enough to betray a person at the North (whose name was mentioned in the letter to be sent North) who was her most valued friend, and from whom she had but a short time since received the letter which Mr. L. wished to introduce.

Captain G. received other notes from Mrs. Allan, and when he was about to leave for the South, having been exchanged, she wrote him a letter in which she expressed her gratification at his release from prison, and said her feelings were increased from the fact that she felt as if she was a prisoner herself. She was very severe towards Gen. Dix, commandant at Fortress Monroe, for not permitting her to return to Richmond by that route; said she was determined to return to Virginia by some means, for although her father and his family were living in Cincinnati, she did not look upon his residence as her home; she recognized no other place as her home but that of her husband's; his home was hers, and so long as she was kept from him she felt that she was a prisoner herself. Capt. G. was very decided in his opinion that Mrs. A. stron

She did so, and afterwards denied all knowledge of it; said she had never seen it before. He then told her to think over the matter and give him a true answer, Mrs. Allan raised her hands up and said, "I swear I know nothing about it." Sued she was the author of the letter in question, and so told Mrs. A. Then left Mr. Hoge's, but placed a guard of detectives around the residence. A few days afterwards he received a note from Mrs. Hoge desiring him to make some other disposition of Mrs. Allan, as it was unpleasant to have a police force constantly watching the m
