MAURY ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT. OFFICIAL REPORT OF ADMIRAL —__s_—_ ‘The following has been received at the Navy Department: FLaGsHIP SusqvEHANNA. Hampton Roads, June 12.—Sir: I have the honor to inform the De- partment of my arrival here to-day, incompany ‘with the Monadnoc, Chippewa and Monticello. The Canonicus, in tow of the Fahkee, was sent into Port Roysl on the 9th inst., when abreast of that place, for coal, as she had less than one day's supply. In my letter of the 2d instant, I informed the Department of the intended visit of the Captain General to the monitors on the follow- ing day. He was accompanied by a number oY barges anda jorge staff, comprising most of the dignitaries of the place, and as he passed Abreast of the flagship on his way to the iron- clads, was saluted by the former vessel. With very little urging, the General was in- duced to go on board the Monadnoc, and after having thoroughly examined her, the Canon- icus was visited, and the party finally came on board this ship. I accompanied the Captain General in his barge, and be remarked tnat in making these visits he was acting conrey, to usage if not to Spanish law; but he evidemtly desired me to understand thatin doing so it was his wish to be marked in bis attention. At my request we also visited the Stonewall | ‘and the unfavorable light in which that vessel appeared when contrasted with eurcwn iron clade could not fail in making its impression. The squadron left Havana on the 6th; the houses and wharves were crowded to witness the departure of the monitor, whose move- ments created the greatest surprise. I will not be guilty here of the bad taste of expressing my regrets at rot falling in with the Stonewall atseain the miast of her de- structive career, in order to prove with what ease she could bave beentaken. 1 thinkit bet- ter her end should have been the insignificant one itis. One half the force at my command could have captured her, and yet net be enti- tied tospecial praise. The Monadnoc alone, as I have already said, is her superior in every we. As usual in rebel affairs, the ram’s reatest power consisted in the wild reports of Eer formidabieness, which were heralded in adysnce. Although this squadron has not succeeded in the capture or destruction of that vessel, the impression which has been made by its pres- ence in the harbor of Havana is, I think, only second in importance to the accomplishment of the object for which it was purecialty: created. Iam happy te be able to say that we are ‘without sickness in the command. I enclose herewith & characteristic letter trom M.¥F. Maury, formerly of our Navy, re- ceived the day before I left‘ Havana. The re- bellion could hardiy have well ended without @ special parole to that gentleman. : I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, G. W. GRaw, ‘Act. R. Adm’l, Com’g Special Squad’n. Art Sza, May 25, 1865.—Sir- In peace as in ‘war I follow the fortunes of my native old State—Virginia. I read im the public prints that she has practically confessed defeat, and Iaid down her arms. In that act mine were unded also. Tam here without command, officially alone, @nd bound on matters of private concern broad. Nevertheless, and as I consider far- ther resistance worse than useless, I deem it propér formally as to confess and to pares ‘you im the words of honor that should I find Inyself, before the final inauguration of peace, within the jurisdiction of the United States, to consider myself a prisoner of war, bound by the terms and conditions which have been or Lhe granted to General Lwe and his officers. df son, leased to send your answer through my 1.

THE CASE OF PAYNE. THE MYSTERIOUS LETTER. The Court met at 11 o'clock this morning. During the recess, Arnc!d was brought in, The crowd of spectators is very large, as the impression prevails that the triel will very soon close, and that the opportunity to visit the Court room and. see the prisoners will not pe much longer available. A fresh impetas tothe interest felt by the lady spectators in the prisoner Payne is given this morning by the appearance in a New York paper of a sensation article, broaching the theory that Payne is an illegitimate son of Jeff Davis! The story set farth_by.this paper is that Jef. Davis, when & young U. S. officer, was sent to command the ison at Fort Snelling, where he seduced the daughter of a frontiersman ; that after the Mexican war, when Davis had Tien to be a United States Senator, his victim came to Washington with her child, “a fine hearty boy,” and presented him to Jeff. as his son; that Jeff. refused to acknowledge pa- ternity in the case, but afterwards secretly conveyed to the mother ard child a scanty stipend; thaton the outbreak of the rebellion this son entered the rebel service, and is now the prisoner at the bar known as Lewis Payne. The fect that Jeff. Davis and Payne are alike of constipated habits is brought forward by the writer as corroborative testamony; but the writer, with great candor, admits that ‘the circumstance is not worth much as evidence.’’ | The Court will doubtless be of the same opin- ion, and the romantic story will probably soon be displaced by some other quite‘as fanciful. Upon the covclusion of the reading of the evidence this morning— Mr. Cox called the attention of the Court to the following item in the Starof yesterday, copied from a Maryland paper: “A MystTgRious LETTER.—On the 4th inst. two men, named French and McAleer, of South Branch, Va., were arrested by Major Meyers and brought to this city and lodged in the guard-house, on the charge of writing a mysterious letter addressed to J. Wilkes Booth, and which was submitted in evidence before the assassination court at Washington. It turns out now that the letter was a fraud, perpetrated by a person named Pardy, who is said to be a Government deteetive, and who, entertaining a bitter hatred toward the parties arrested, availed himself of this mode to wreak revenge. French and McAleer have been released, and Purdy has since been ar- rested and placed in close confinement, on the charge of committing the alleged traud.— Cumberland ( Md.) Union.” Mr. Cox said if the letter was 4 fraud the de- fence ought to have the benefit of it. He had not been able to find the letter in question but supposed it referred to the letter addressed to «J. W. B.,” at the National Hotel. "oe , re Et will pry the above |* Judge Bingham thought the matter should not goon record. If the parties want Purdy, let him be brought here, but he objected to in- troducing newspaper paragraphs for which nobody is responsible. The letter referred to as a fraud bears evidence upon the face of it of baving been written by one concerned in the wurder of the President. Though it never reached the person to whom it was addressed, the writer was none the less guilty. Judge Holt said the matter was now under- going investigation and there would cei tainly be no concealment made of the result. Mr. Ewing argued against the claim to cred- ibility of any of these picked up letters. Mr. Aiken said that the editor of the Star was well known as acareful and trathfal editor, who would not admit such @ paragraph un- less there was some foundation for it. Mr, Olampitt said he endorsed what Mr. Aiken had said. aise from such an unexpected quar- Messrs. Aiken aud Olampitt should be as damaging tothe Siar as the legal advo- cacy of these gentlemen has been to their un- fortunate client, it may be proper to say here that the uncomplimentary notices of Messrs, A. and C. the Star ass ies oceasion to givé hem in pers HiSg CAECAE GENCE. ene eon et pes flattering allusions as above to the Sigr and its editor, are given in perfect good faith.—Rep.} The Court here took a recess until 2 p. m., in order to give epportunity for the medical com. mission in the case of Payne to report.

M. Proceedings This Evening. THE CASE OF PAYNE. ————— THE SANITY QUESTION. age ee and being seated near the window, his father ‘was granted an interview with him. The two immediately took seats in the box, where they talked earnestly together for several minutes, the father, during the Interview, shedding tears freely.. After a few hastily exchanged words, the father took his leave, wiping the tears from ween as he from the room, while Arnold turned his face to the window The Commission reassembled at 2 o’clock, when the examination of witnesses was re- sumed. TESTIMONY OF DR. JAB. 0. HALL. (For the Accused.) Witness examined Payne this morning as to his sanity—firstphysically. Hiseye lacked in- tellecuality and there was & wantof symmetry to the head, the left side of the head being more fully developed than the other. His pulee was about 105, thirty strekes more than the healthy pulse. The physical condition of the prisoner was good with the exception of constipation and great rapidity of pulse. Wit+ n°ss would take it that his intellect was of low order, but saw no sign of insanity. Witness asked tbe prisoner certain questions, and wit- ness concluded that the prisoner would per- {1.1m acts which he would think justifiable which a man of better moral culture would condemn. Witness described the act the pris- oner was charged with having committed to him and asked how such an act could be jus- tified. He replied that in war a man was jus- tified in taking life. Witness thoughtthere was reasonable ground of suspicion of insanity. There was a feepleness of mind—a very low erder of intellect in witness’ opinion nosane man could exhibit the insensibility of the prisoner. By Judge Holt:—Witness from this exami- nation would not give an opinion positively that the prisoner was not a responsible agent; but the examination gave ground for suspic- ion that he was not perfectly sane. Witness thought his memory very slow. Payne in re- ply toa question as to the maiden name of his mother, told witness that her first name was Caroline, but he could not remember the other name. Witness thinks the conductof the pee oner, on this occasion, was not feigned. it- ness does not pretend to say that the forgetful- ness is evidence of insanity. Mr. Doster stated that as Dr. Hall had testi- fied that there was and for suspicion of in- sanity, that he would ask the Court to direct him to continue the examination. Dr. Hall stated that not having made insani- ty aspeciality he would not like to make the examination alone, and suggested that as Dr. Nichols, through a domestic affliction would not be able to attend to it, that Dr. Stevens, as- sistant at the Government Hospital for the In- sane, be designated to assist him.

Witness knows that Mrs. Surrat was in the habit of feeding Union sol- diers, giving them the best in the house. Wit- ness has heard people say that Mrs. Surratt’s eye sight was bad.
