HALLECK AND SHERMAN. gee The Johnston Surrender Dafficulty—Let- ter from Gen. Halleck. Gen. Halleck has written a letter to the Sec- retary of War relative to statements made by Gen. Sherman in a communication to General Grant, characterizing them as incorrect and entirely unjustifiable by the facts in the case. With respect to the charge of encroaching upon Gen. Sherman’s military command, by directing a portion of his (Halleck’s) troops to march upon Greensboro, in North Qarolina, Gen. Halleck says: “My instructions to Generals Meade, Sheri- dan and Wright were just such instructions as General Grant had directed me to give. The offense. or whatever he may please to call it, if any there was, of marching my troops with- in territory claimed by General Sherman was not mine, but General Grant’s; and all the abuse which he has directed upon me for that act must fail upon the General-in-Cnhief. «General Sherman charges that by march- ing my troops into North Carolina I violated | bis trace, which he was bound to enforce even at the cost of many lives by @ collision of our respective armies. “General Sherman had never sent me his | truce; 1 had never seen it, and did pot know | 1 only chew that his i | | its terms or conditions, _ : | truce or + arranfement,’ whatever it was, had been disapproved and set aside py the Presi- dent: and General Grant, in ordering the movement of my troops, simply notified me of this fact, and of the renewal of hostilities. | Even if Sherman's truce had been binding on me, which it was not, I had nu knuwledge of the clause relating to forty-eight hours* no- tice.” Referring to Sherman’s complaint that he (Halleck) pushed forward against Johnson’s army when it was surrendering, he says: « Hemust have known thatI did not nave, and could not possibly have had, at that time, any official information of any new ‘arrange- ments”’ between him and Johnston for the sar- render of the latter’sarmy. Neither (ten. Sher- man nor any one else could have sent me such official information otherwise than by sea, which would have required several days. 1 only knew from Genera! Grant that Sherman's “arrangements” had been disapproved, that orders had been given to resume hostilities, and that 1 was directed by him to push for- ward my troops to Greensboro’, where they would receive farther orders. All other in- formation from North Carolina came from rebel sources.” * * Gen. Halleck also states that the troops were sent from the direction ot Burkesville and Danville by order of Gen. Grant, and that the information relative to the treasure of Davis ‘was obtained from gentlemen of chardetir and position, whose statements were entitled to consideration. +‘General Grant neither disap- proved uor conntermanded any orders of mine, nor was there at that time any trace. It had ceased by General Grant's orders to resume hostilities and the sobsequent surrender of Johnston’s army, of which he then notified me, ard recalled a part of the troops which he had directed me to send to Danville and Greensboro. “There is fut one other point in General Sherman's complaint that F deem it necessary tonotice. I refer to the suggestion madeto you in regard to orde?s to General Thomas and Wilson for preventiag the escape of Davis and his cabinet.” * * * “In suggesting that orders be sent to these Officers directly, and not throwsh General Sherman, I suggested no departure from well- established official chanaels. But even if I had, the responsibility of adopting that course Inust rest upon the authorit# who sent it. <Tf thia comp t ts directed agsinst the form of the suggestion, x 2=m: -miv sag that I ‘was innocent of any intend’doiense. My tele- gram was hurriedly written, intended foryour- self, not the public, amd hadi reference to the State of facts as re to me. It was re- poited that orders purporting to come from General Sherman had been receiveu through rebel lines for General Wilson to withdraw from Macon, release his prisoners, aad thatall hostilities should cease. Tnese orders threw open the door for tiie escape of Davieand his party. This I knew was contrary to the wishes and orders of the Governmen®; but I had no means of knewmg whether or not Sherman had been so informed. 1, at the time, had no communication with him or with General Grant, an@ I was not aware that eititer coul@ commaunicate with our officers in the West, exceps ‘hrough rebel authorities, who. of course, could not be reliedon. I repeat, that my suggestion had reference only to the facts and wishes of the Government as know: to me at the time, and ‘was intended in norespect to refiect upon or be disrespectful to General Shermam. It I had been .ble co communica te with General Sher- man, or had known at’ the time the condition oftefieirsin: North Carolina, there would have been no negessity or occasion for anz sugges- tior to yu, and mest probably none -would have been made. ‘With these remaris, I 1espectfully submit that General: Sherman’s re) ,ort, so: fear as he refers to mé@;is: unjust, unkind, and contrary to military usage, and that hus statements are contrary to the real faetsof the case. £ beg leave further toremark-that 1 nave, innoway, shape; or maaner, criticized or reflected’ upon General Sherman’s cowrse in North Gavojina, or ppon his truce, or, as General Grant styles it, “arrangement,” with Johnston and k- inridge, but have simply acted upon tue or- ders, instructions, and-expressed wishes of m: superiors, as communicated to me, and! as understood them.” General Stoneman has also addressed a: Het- tert the Secretary cf War, compinining of injustice done him by General Shermen in charging that he (Stoneman) wis respensidie for the escape of Davis from Visginia and Worth Carolina, BATTLE INSCRIPTIONS The ftags of the i6th Michige.n, 120th Ghtioy and Méth New York regiments are to-day %e_ ing inscribed with the names of the battlce. in which the commands have par ticipated. ‘The ftag of the 16tt Micbigatt has the naves et Yorktown, Hanover Court |doase.Mechan- icsville, Gaines’ Hib}, White Oak Swamp, Tat- vern Hill, Tarkey Bend, Ball Kun No.2, An- tietam, Sha: tg, Fredericksburg, Ohan- collorsvilie, Middleburg, Gettysburg, Wil- liamsport, Md., Briston Station, Rappahan- nock Station, Mine- Run, Wil demness. rel Hill, Spetteylvana, North Anna, Talloputo- mey Crsek, Magnolia Svvamp, Betmesda Church, Battle Of Powrsbarg, Betersburg and Norfolk railroad Weidon Railroad, Hatchers’ Run No. 1,, Pesbte’s Farm, Hatcher's Run No. 2, Dabney’s Mills, White Oak Road, Quakez Road, Five Forks, Loe's surrerder— Appomattox Court House. 126th.Ohlo— Martiasburg.

Proceedings This Evening. THE UASE OF PAYNE. ——>——_ ‘The Court met to-day at 12 m., and the pri- soners were brought in. Payne almost imme- diately on entering the dock took his seat on the step wkere the prisoner’s rest their feet, and was thus screened from view behind the dock rail, much to the disappointment of cu- rious spectators. Gen. Hunter, President of the Court, stated that the medical gentlemen who had been desig- nated to make the medical examination in the case of Payne were sonny to report, and were anxious to get away. © suggested that they be allowed to give their testimony before the reading of the proceedings. Mr. Doster said he was not aware of their presence, and he would like to consult the witneeses before they were introduced. The Uourt assented, and the reading of the proceedings was proceeded with until 12:30, when Judge Holt announced that Surgeon General Barnes, who had not received a subporna in consequence of being absent from the city, Was how present, and he suggested that the court take a recess in order that Dr. Barnes might have an opportunity to examine the prisoner, Payne. It was desirable to settle the question of his sanity definitely, one way or the other, ‘The Court accordingly took a recess until 2 p.m. At that hour the Court reassembled. Mr. Doster announced that he would close the case ot Payne here, Gen. Hunter:—Do yon not propese to call ‘se medical men ! Mr. Doster.—I shall not call them. Judge Holt said that if the defense did not propose to call the witnesses, the Government would. DR. JAM:8 O HALL RECALLED. Witness this morning, associated with Dr, Norris and Dr Porter, made another examina- tion of the prisoner Payne, and during the recess & turther examination in conjunction with Surgeon General Barnes. Witness asked the prisoner very much the same questions as he did on yesterday. The prisoner gave the same answers as on yesterday, and with more promptness and quickness than on yesterday. Witness thinks he is now prepared to say that there is no evidence of Mental insanity in the case of the prisoner. His mind is weak, feeble, and uncultivated. By Mr. Doster:— Witness asked him the ques- tion if he believed in a God. The prisoner avewered that he did, and acknowledged that atone time be was & member of the Baptist Church. Witness asked the prisoner if he be- lieved private assassination in a public war justifiable. After some little hesitation the risoner answered that he thought it was. Witness can conceive that a person laboring under a fanatical aelusion may believe an act to be right that others would believe to be wrong. TESTIMONY OF DR. NORRIS, (kor the Prosecution.) Witness isa Surgeonin the regular army. Witness this morning, in association with Surgeon General Barnes and Dr. Hal!, made an examination of the prisoner Payne. Witness arrived at the concius:on that Payne is a sane man. His jook, speech, and manner were all natural, and there was nothing to indicate the presence of mental insanity. His reasoning faculties appeared to be good and his judge- ment good. Witness learned but little of the past Distory of the prisoner. Learned nothing of kis history while in prison to indicate in- sanity. . By Mr. Doster :— Witness is not familiar with cases of insanity, but Bas seen cases and visit- ed Insane Asylums. Thinks thereis always something in the manner of madmen to cause suspicior to @ medical man or a man of intel- .ligence. Has heard of cases where insanity has been concealed by the person affected for some time, but hasnevermetsuch. Thinks Payne’s manner was not titat of a Madman seen in one of his lucidintervals. Itis possible that Payne may be & monomaniac, but witness thinks that @ monomaniac would almost invariably strike upon the subject upor which le was deluded im the course of a conversation with strangers, such as that held by tham with Payne. Cases are laid down in the boaks where monomani- ees have gone weeks without referring to the subject on which they ware deluded, but wit- ness hus never met with sch cases. TESTIMONY OF SURGEON GENERAL BARNES, (For the Prosesation ) Witness, in association with Drs. Powall and Norris, made an examination this morning of the prisoner Payne. Fond no evidence of insanity. The prisoner’s natrative concern- ing Rimeelf, the places where he had been, &e., ‘were coherent and corresponded with the an- swers he made yesterday at the examination, a severe test and almost infallible. By Mr. Doster:—Wimess would consider this a test for both moral and mental insanity. Witness has given testimony here before as to the conditien of Seeretary Sewerd and son. Witness was some years ago in charge of the insane wasds of a lavge hospital Payne an- swered Dr, Hall’s question-to the eff@ct that he considered sweh a crime as was mentioned to him as just#fieble under certain circumstances. TESTIMONY OF DR. PORTER. (¥or the Prosecution.) Witness, in conjunction with Surgeon Gen- eral Barnes and ether medical gentlemen, madean examination of “he prisoner, Payne. Witness beleves the prisoner to be a sane man. Payne hasbeen under the medical care of witmess since he was cenfined in prison, and witness has made inspection as to his con- dition twice a d&ayin that time. In al} that period his conversation and appearance have shown no marks of insanity. By Mr. Doster-—Moral imsanity is inter- preted in tite Boolte-as bearimg a strong resem- blance to’commom crime. Did not examine him as to moral insanity particularly. In answer to questions by Mr Doster, wit- nees proceeded to cafine the difference between morai and mental insanity. There was an absence of the usual symptoms of insanity in the caseof Payne. Insanity is marked by a quickened pulse. Payne’s pulse, as a goneral rale, has been lower than the other prisoners. Last night his puise was <0, this morning $3-4. Another symptom of insanity is loes of sleep. Witness had aoticed particu~ larly that while ethers of the prisoners were wakeful this man wae asleep. Payne might be insane- without witness beimg aware of the fact, but to the: best of Dis knowledge and be- lief he is-sane. Witness has treated cases of insanity. Judge-Binghem offered in evitence papers establishing the fact that‘Audrew Johnson was Vice President of the United States and Wm. H. Seward Secrstary-o¢ State as the time of the assassination. ‘The reading of the proceedings of yesterday were concluded;.after which Judge Holtstated that the Government Rad no more witnesses present, but that there were some others to tes- tily in regard to the general nature of the con- spiracy but not affecting any of the prisoners directly; and as there was one argument ready on the part of the counsel for the accused, he thought it might be heard at this time, with the understanding that the: proseeution should not be debarred thereby from introducing the tes- timony referred to hereafter. Mr. Aiien said‘it was the wishof the coun- sel for the accused that abb the testimony the Government had shoald be introduced before the arguments were entered u} They ex- pected that Mr. Johnson would be present to-- morrow to presemt the opening argument in person. Ef he did sot arrive, his colleagues, Mr. Ctlampitt, whould read the argue ment to the court, but asthe greater part of it wasin the hardwriting of Mr. Johnson— and he would do Mr. Johnson the honor to sag: that it was about as bad as any handwriting could well be—it would require some little time to make it out. Mr. Aiken said thatin his own case he woulda be ready to present the argument and the sam- ming up of facts in the case of Mrs. Surra‘t om Monday next. The argument of Mr. Johnson, in which he believed ati the connsel concurred, would be on the juriediction of the court. Gen. Wallace suggested that if the argument upon the jurisdiction of the Court be ready that the Uourt proceed to hear itnow. He did not think that because the attorney could not read the argument, that the Oourt should be de- layed ‘tne Court was here cleared to determine the point of deferring the reading. - ‘The doors were opened‘ about four o'clock, when it was announced thatthe Court had de- cided to adjourn for Mr. Johnson’s argument om the jurisdiction of the Court, and it will theretore be delivered by Mr. Clampitt on Fri- dey, at 12 o’clock, the adjourning to kt o'clock on tliat day. REDUCTION OF VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY. ‘The War it has inatructed depart- ment commanders to reduce at once theix bat- teries of volunteer light art@lery to the num- ber absolutely required under existing circum. stances in their cepartments. The companies thus relieved will be sent to Washingtoa, Louisville or Csiro, as may be mest conyenjeat for final payment and mustering out, RESIGNED.

Some ef the officers took part in the affair, and the men --ed thefr revolvers freely, while those witho . arms threw bricks and stenes at each otherMausing a general stampede of citizens who were in the vicinity Three of the West Virginia troops were se- verely wounded, and one citizen, whose name ‘we were not abie to learn. Had it not been for the timely arrival of de- tachments ef 14th and 10th regiments of the Vet- eran Corps, sent to the spot by Colonel Gile, for the purpose of quelling the riot, the loss of life would doubtless have been great, as the men of the ist New York cavalry, Who were short of ammunition, were about making a raid on the cars ia which the ammunition was loaded.
