Ic is but fair to state that the Government claims that the accused bas forged the names of soldiers and of other officers, specifying the regimen's. It will be, therefore, unecessary tor the Government to go ito proof on that point. The Court decided that it had jurisdiction in the cuse. Mr. Orville K. Wood, of West Chazy, Clin ton county, N.

The prisoner objected to the evidence, as_he Was not present at this uterview becween Mr. Wood and Mr Ferry. The Juage Advocate said it was necessary, as it would be shown Donohue had beeu a party to the frauds alluded to hy Ferry The Court was cleared, and, on its reopening, the President decided taat the evidence shoud be received.

One package of thirty, in which the names bad all been forged, was identified by Mr. Wood as the work of Donohue.

During the reading of this letter the prisoner assisted the Judge Advocate in deciphering some of the words. A roll purporting to be a list of sick and ‘Wwoonded New York soldiers, under treatment at the Jarvis Hospital, in this city, was shown. Tt contained about four hundred nsmes. Mr. Wood testified that Ferry in- formed him, in answer to a question, “that dead or alive they all had cast @ good vote.” The crowded state of ourcolumns prevents the publication of the names in fall.

On the conclusion of the reading of the letters and examination of the powers of attorney, eic., the +xamination of Mr. Wood was re- sumed. He said: Newcomb remarked in Ferry’s office that it would take the Abolition papers threes months te discuss the frauds. when the election was over; when he arrived in New York he intend- *dto call at the Worid office, aud give them some pointe, with the idea, he supposed, of giving the Union party the blame; « telling of their achievements in fraud at the bullot-box; Donohue boasted of having done some sharp tricks in his districtin Albany; he could always secure avy majority that was neeestary for his candidate: he used +‘:marrow- fav”? lick+eis, which consisted otf 4 number of ballots folded together, which woald become separated on being forced through the aper- ture of the ballot-box, he was inspector of elections, and always had sharp clerks; they made the poll-books containing the names of voters, taily witu the t.cgets when counted, by quickly writing cown the necessary number of numes to correspond with the number of tickets in the “marrow-fats;” the affair was easily mauaged; when the votes cime to ba counted in the presence of a committee of the par'y in opposition to his own they could ba very easily blinded. The prisoner objected to the detailing of what heesid about himeelf, as it had notning to do with the case unJer consideration. The Judge Advocate argued that it was ne- cessary to prove the spirit that prompted the lorgery with which the prisoner was charged. It woula be shown that he had been engaged in similar practices betore. The Court decided tha’ the evidence was ad- mitsible. Mr. Donohue, the prisoner, cross-examined the witness, who, in answer to his questions Teplied substantially as follows: Donohue sigued six names at the request Wood, to be sent to D H. Parsons, Clinton county, N. Y.; bad seen Donohue sign several powers of iorney, in some of which the blanks were all filled, and in others only par- tially so; he supposed that when Capt. McDer- mott tcld him at Fort McHenry that there had been “ checker playing’ with the soldiers’ yore tbat foul play was going on somewhere, aud he determined to terret it out. The Judge Advocate here exhibited to the Court eighteen completed proxies, signed “© G. Arthur, Captain and A. A. G.,” ana thirty- five signed “©. G. Arthar, First Lieutenant Company I, Ninth New York Cavalry.” Don- ohue admitied that he had written the name, but disclaimed having anything to do with aflixing the rank and title of the thirty-five, which bad been done by Ferry. Other pack- ages were finished with other forged signa- tures. The records of the War Department were eearched to find the names of the siguers, bat ip several instances they proved to be “men of straw.” Mr. Newcomb, of Albany, also an agent of New York, and a party to the frand, was sworn, and his evidence was substantially as fellows: Is aresident of Albany, New York, and an attoruey-at-law by profession; about three weeks since received a commission from Gov- ernor Seymour, of New York, bearing the great seal of the State, empoweriag him to go to Baltimore and Washington to assist in taking the votes of the soldiers of that State; on arri- ving in Baltimore reported at the office of State Agent Ferry; acquatated him of his business; proceeded to Fort McHenry and Fort Marshall and procured some of the votes of soldiers at those places; took altogether abont three hua- dred; only about fifty of the votes were sealet up, the balance all being open, for the purpose of the county ticket being inserted by the com- miitee in New York; met Donohue on the day he reached Fort McHenry, and daily thereaf ter for three days; nextsaw him on the fellow. ing Thursday in Washington, where they both remained until Saturday, and then came to Balumore together: on arriving here on Satur- day eveuing wentimmediately to State Agent’s office, and there tound Ferry and Wood; after conversing ashort time went to his hotel; on Sunday morning went again tothe State Agen- cy, and Donohue, Wood and Ferry were all tented at a table busily engaged in writing oat pow+rs of attorney and soldiers’ proxies; Don- ohue bad n large pile onthe table ic tront of him, berg placed to ntternate layers of blanks ard envelopes: be firet tilied the blanks in the poweroi attorney, and then filled ip the blanks in the envelopes to correspond; in some cases they would write a soldier’s name, and add the woros “bis mark:’ also saw him put in officers’ names; the whole of the yole was pre- pared. except the ticket with the names of the candidates; at Ponobue’s request be filled in the dates, etc, of the powers of acorney and affidavits to which Donohne hed signedziames; baa seen a list of the 425th New York tr xi- Ment, from which nawes, were beitig pre- pared; they were principally for Columbia ConMIY. jwer to.@ question by Donohue, Nev: ied. that Galceart to Baltimore to assist him (Von- ohne) in taking votes; at Fort Marsnall aud Fort McHenry the envelopes containiug the owe's of a‘torney were kept open to allow the joes} county tickets to be inserted; he had no tickets bot those containing the names of the McClellan electors; at Fort Marshall he told the golaiers there that be:took wothing but McClean voles; while at Fort McHrory a soldier approsched him and said that he desir-d to vote; be asked the soldier it he intended to vote for Little Muc, as that was the only ticket he had; the soldier said be did not, that was nat hi off; all the soidiers were and Donohue took eOleian votes; at Fort Marshall, ‘Adjutant Walker, to facilitate the taking o” the Vote, took the oath of fifteen or sixteen soldiers at a time, signed his 1.ame to the power of attorney, be (Newcomb) and Donohue actin as witnesses; several envelopes were 1 Fort Marsball with Adjutant Way "s 8 ture thereon; he was not positive thi been Jeft, as they. might have been away by Ferry; had seen some of the far tickets with the names of r candidates t had never need an © oda * ‘was empowered to “ vows of Nes Xone maa 4 5 cong hd “Ho. ratio Seymour,” lew York, anq@ his Private Seen etary Wit this the case clesed on the part of the Government.

What be had done was foohshly dohe and without any kaowledge or idea of the consequences.

Ue was no politician, &ad had ne desire to be qpe In concluding, be appsaled to the mercy of the Covrt, and was yieibly affected, appearing ‘o revlize tor the first time (be dangerous situa- tion in whic his acts had placed bim. The Judge Advocate then addressed tne Court as follows Itappesrs in this case that the defendant, Edward Covahue, Jr., 4 young man connected with the New York ( entral Road, a road to those who live in the ci'y of New York almost synonimcns with treason, has ror the past two or three weeks been engared 1b one of the most gigantic trauds ever & tempt-d to be perpe- trated on this nation—a traud which, if it shall be successful, will, im my opinion, pro- duce a disruption of our entire country, and our war for the preservation of the Wnion will be practically at an end and tatite. tap. pears trom the evidence of the witnesses before you, that cn one occasion, when a Re- publican, who happenet to bear something That was said by one of the State Agents of the State ot New York that frauds were peing per- petrated, wentto the office of the State Agent in this city and found him willing and ready to mvke false votes; and frandulently repre- senting himself as one of the party they were working lor, ingratia'ed bimself into their con- fid+ nce, and is allowed toses the workings of their party. lt appears that the regulr blanks forsoldiers are forged, the names of the oflicers who ure purporting toswear tbe suldiery are written out by one party, the name of the soldier who casts his yote by another, and stifla third one whe fills up the blanks. These are thén left, either seated or unsraied, with the electoral ticket of the party which they represent, and, as the first witness testified to you, several dry goods boxes fuil ot sach votes have alreaay left the city of Washington. At thattime it will be borne jo mind that Edward Donohue was tn Washington. He comes to this city. How is this stalement, as compared with his accom- plice, Edward Newcomb, and with the first witness, Mr. Wood? Wasitthey whoindaced jem vo commit this fraud, or did he they ?_ Does Newcomb say that Wood asked him, or was it Donobue who asked bisa to write these letters ? He firds Donohue in f:.1) blast, writing as fast as he could, sometimes ti» pames of a soldier, and sometimes cf an ofli_er, sometimes giving one rank, and sometimes another—the other one filling up their names, and still a third one, the fuil blank. Thus the persons around this table in the course of Supday afternoon filled up to the pumber of pearly a bundred,andif three per- sons could ip one afteruoon manufacture some one or two buncred sach fraudulent votes, wnat could not twenty meu similarly employed for two weeks effect! The enormity of the fraad Was appalling. The Judge Advocate continued by dwelling upon the heinous: ness of the offence. Here was afrand that might well cail tor the infliction of the severest ponalty known to the court. The most sacred rignts of the brave men who are absent from tbeir howes periling their lives in the facé of the enemy to uphold our liber- Ues is invaded. and their votes are fraudulent- ly cough! to be given azainst the cause for which they have beer periling their lives Whilst absent ip the field, these plotters at ’ Hiped Ort: frond Theatre, home ferk to cast the ballots of these braye men withont their consent, and whilst they cannct be present tospeak for themselves or defend their rights. This prisoner, though one of @ numerous family of chiidren, cannot sbow that be hes even one brother in the Held upholding the flag of his country, is here preven to have coospiied with others to de- fraud our braye soldiers of their exercise of the sucred elective francbise. A crime so enor- mous as this called for rizorous punishment, aud he hesitated not tosay it merited the ex- treme peralty of death. The foregeing is the substance of Col. Fos- ter’saddress. Turing its delivery the prisoner Was evidently more than ever impressed with a sense of bis critical positioz. and, at the con- clusion of the Judge Advecate’s address, left the Court in charge of the guard in & mapner strikipely in contrast with the cold, defiantair With which be evtered it in the morning. The court rom was now cleared and the Commission procteded | deliberate apon the cuse. Of conrse ifs de iy on cannot be known unui it bas beeu passed upon by the President. The Commission were only sbout half an hour in coming to their decision, when the doors were reopenec and the Court adjoarned, ALEXANDRIA AFF AIKS.—The following we take from the Alexandria State Journal: A late copy of the Richmoud Dispatch “has been receivea in this city. It contains an arte ele on the train guards, which the sympathi- zers with the rebellion will vo donbt regard as yery severe. It calis upon Colonel Mosby not to sparea piece of lead as large as the head of f pin on tkeir scconnt—that the pretended se- cessionists of tbat city aretoo cowardly and contemptible t. receive or claur any protection trom those whwo are perilling their lives for the success of their canse, it furthers ays that they can jeepect a Union man, out they have no respect whatever for those who claim to sym- pahize with them, and at the same time re- main in the Union lines and gain a livelihood from those they would lead people to believe they detestand abhor. The article concludes ly advising Mceby to fireinto the trains when-~ ever an opportunity offers, aud to pay no at- tion whatever to these safety-guards. Some idea may be tormed of the immense Amount of business transacted at the office of Col. Wells, Provost Marsbal General, when We state tbat as high as three hundred desert- ‘rs are reported each week. Of course the Gs position of these cases involve an immense umount of work, and the varions clerks areof- ten emploved many hours beyond "lose which they are required te give to the office.
