Tompkins, that he would probably be able to meet with the Commission on Monday; he would suggest the propriety of adjourning over until that day. If the arguments were read to- day it would be requisite to have them read over to Col. Tompkins, and consequently by adjourning no time would be lost. The Commission adjourned to 10 o'clock on The Court, according to adjournment of Wednesday, met at 11 o'clock this morning, all the members being present except Colonel Tompkins. Judge Holt said he had learned that Colone! T. was indisposed. and he proceeded to read from the law regulating such courts, that por- tion relating to the absence of members, in which it is stated that where 8 member is ill the Court can go on as usual, but that when the missing member returned to his seat it was requisite that the proceedings of the Court during his absence should be read over to him.

The prisoners seem more thoughtful as the trial draws to @ close. Even the frivolous Herold bas lest his heretofore habitual simper. Payne, though his eye is quite as bold and tearless in its range of the court-room as ever, shows much less buoyancy of spirits in his general bearing. Thus far the following is all that has been definitely ascertained in regard to the antecedents of this prisoner, concerning whom there has beenso much speculation: He is the son of the Rev. George Powell, now of Florida, and was raised in Alabama. At the outbreak of the rebellion he joined the rebel army im Georgia, and afterwards was con- nected with the Army of Northern Virginia, where, from certain qualities of reckless da- ring exhibited by him, he was detached for service with Mosby’s guerrillas, and from thence would seem to have been selected, thzough the same qualities, for yet more des- perate work and more gigantic crime. Upon the conclusion of the reading of the proceedings Gen. Hanter asked if the Goy- ernment had any witnesses in attendance. Judge Holt said there were some. Capt. R. Chandler, who was assigned to duty on Gen. Augur’s staff, has entered upon the discharge of his duties as Assistant Adja- tant General at the Headquarters of the De- partment of Washington, in place of Lieut Col.
