SPECIAL NOTICES. —_—_- HOSTETTER’S BITTERS ON THE BaTTLE- FIELD. ; It is satisfactory to know that our field hospitals are no longer unsupplied with this life-saving preparation, Soldiers who, as private citizens, had become acquainted with its propertics, have in many instances made a pecial request that HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS might be added to the medical stores of their regiments, and their wishes have not been unheeded. Aa a , Means of sustaining wounded mer on the battle- field, and of enabling troops ‘to bear fatiguing marches under a blazing eun, it has been stren- uously recommended by distinguished medical men, and the prospect is that it will eventually supercede all the adulterated tinctures, liquors and dangerows Tonics that have heretofore béen. considered medicinal staples. The fact that a small quantity of the Bitters mixed with water from any of the Southern or Southwestern rivers will prevent it from affecting the bowels or the liver, should be borne in mind by Army Physi- cians, soldiers, and all who have occasion to visit those portions of our country, The man who uses HOSTETTER’S BITTERS in conformity with the directions, may set at defiance Intermittent Fever and all other diseases gencrated by the action of an unwholesome atmosphere upon an overtaxed frame.

Wak DEPARTMENT, July MA, 1965. To D. H. Craig, General Agent of Associated Press, New York: + Six: Referring to the special dispatch to the New York Tribune, from, Washington, of the 16th instant, Ranushes in the issue of that jour- nal of the 17th, relating to the circumstances Attending the issue of apass to the Key. Mr. Waiter to attend Mrs. Surratt, I beg to state that the facts in the case are as follows: On the 6th instant the Rey. Mr. Walter called at the War Department and asked for a pass to visit Mrs, Surratt in the military prison, say- ing, it lam not mistaken, thatshehadexpressed a desire to see him. I submitted the request to the Secretary of ‘War, who at once said that a pass might given. Neither the Rey. Mr. ‘alter nor myself then knew of the approval of the sentence of the Military Commicon in the case of Mrs, Surratt. 1 sent Mr. Walter a pass, but afterwards, fearing that the pass signed Uy sayeett might not, ander the circum- stances, accepted by the officer in charge of the prison, in order that there might not be no possibility of disappointment in the admission ofa a Uae to afford the necessary spiritual services, I sent Mr. Barry, a clerkin my office, to see the Rey. Mr. Walter, to tell him that it would be better for him not to go on the pass F sent, but that I would again see the Secretary of War, and, as he had assented to the visit of the clergyman to the prisoner, would get a pass signed by bimself, as otherwise there was a posaiealiy: of his being put to the trouble of going tothe prison without being enabled to secure admission. It was alsoa partof my de- sign that Mr. Barry should impress upon Rev. Mr, Walter the necessity of faith in the use of the pass when replaced. After thus sending Mr. Barry to Father Wal- ter, I went to the Secretary of War and asked his own signature to a pass, as referred to above. Upon his signing which I said to him that I was confident the pass would be used solely for the purpose for which it was asked— a professional visit, to administer the sacra- ments, and to prepare the person to be visited for death. Upon Mr. Barry’s (aly messenger to Rey. Mr. Walter) return he informed me of the violent and excited language of Father Walter with regard to the trial and its result, which he (Mr. Walter), it appears, had heard afier leaving the War ‘tment. On this I went myself to see the Rey. Mr. Walter, to caution him as his well-wisher, and as a friend of the church, and in my private capacity entirely. with regard to the use of language so inflammatory as that he had in- duiged in at this, a time of great public excite- ment, I introduced the conversation by stating that what he had said had made an impression upon the mind of my messenger, who had re- peated his remarks tome. I explained to him, - as I have said above, that there might be a pos- sibility of his not getting into the prison upon my pass, and that I had thé¥efore asked the Secretary of War for a pass signed by himself, upon giving which I had said that I was con- fident that it would not be used for any other purpose than that for which it was asked, and wanted him, Mr. Walter, to beso governed as ae I would be safe in the assertion I had made. Mr. Walter had displayed so much excite. ment and temper that it was a duty of charity on my part, in view of all the circumstances, to endeayor to induce him to pursue a more discreet course, and to counsel him to be silent, as became his place on these tupics. I asked him in a friendly and kindly way to promise me that he would desist from talking about this matter. Mr. Walter’s conviction as to the the innocence of the prisoner, or the use of any proper efforts believing ber to be innocent to avert her execution, were not made matters of objection. It was to the inflammatory charac- ter and effect of his observations at this period when the public mind was agitated that my attention was directed. Unnecessary, idle and angry discussions and haranguc; could not but be mischievous just at this moment, and since itappeared that Mr. Walter could not approach the subject with temper and dis- cretion, it was better he should let it alone. This was a confidential couversation between myself and Mr. Walter; as has been seen, the visit Was not at all official, but entirely that of a private individual. My motives were landa- ble. They were to restrain imprudentand mis- chievous discussions, and to insure the nse of the pass to be given in the faith intended when it was signed, and then to make my assurance gocd. The visit was not suggested by the Sec- retary of War, or even known to him until the present time. On this point, after what I had said, I do not see how Mr. Walter could have under- stood meas prompted by instructions in my conversation. In replying to me, the Rey. Mr. Walter was very violent, and generally denunciatory. The range of his conversation was quite wide. He barangued upon the Administration and the rebellion, and dwelt with bitterness upon what he called military tyrrany, &c. Hesaid proba- bly all he is represented in the fourth para- graph of the article in question as having said, and very much more than a prudent priest, a loyal citizen, or a man of commonsense would not have said. During all this time I was endeavoring to counsel moéeration, remonstrating against his expressions, and enjoining prudence. I donot know thatI sought to patronize the Rey. Mr. ‘Walter at all, and the phrases which allude to this and the indignant rejoinder of Father W. do not bring to my mind the recollection of the scene described. I did not,tell Father Walter that he should not have a poe if, he did not promise to say nothing of Mrs. Surrati’s innocence. An- noyed by what he had said, I was about, how- ever, to leave the room, and to defer giving him the pass, remarking, “I will send you word as tothe passin two hours;” when he said, *I promise.” Lintended within the two hours to see the Secretary of War and say to him that 1 was convinced after what had taken place, that Father Walter was notin the: proper dispo- sition and frame of mind to bea suitable re- ligious attendant upon the prisoner, and that under the circumstances the services of another priest should be procured for her instead, when Mr. Walter salt that he promised. Satisfied that he had determined to be governed by the considerations of pradenee I had suggested, and believing that he would perform what he had undertaken, I gave himthe pass. Nor did I when I designed to withdraw trom Father W. without giving him the. by any means intend that this act should have the effect to deprive the prisoner of the services of the clergy. My view on the contrary was that some other priest should go In fact another priest did go besides Mr. Walter. It has been my fortune to be the means of sending the Clery, to attend many during this war in need of theirservices, and I never threw astraw in the way of any clergyman, of any faith, visiting a penitent, loyal or disloyal, living or aying, when his services were called fer. I could not see or know ofa person of my own creed dying withuut giving any avsistance in my power to secure the attendance of a riest. With regard to the denial of passes to Mr. Walter to visit the prisoner when ill, referred to in the last pees ph of the article in ques- tion, Father W. stated to my messenger that he had been requested by Mrs.’ Surratt, shortly after she was arrested, and since, to visit her, but that he had refused to do so, not wishing to haye his ‘name connected with it until the trial was over.” Idid not seek to meddle with Mr. Walter's convictions as to the innocence of Mrs, Surratt, nor did I attempt to restrain him from the use of any’ proper efforts to bring his convictions to notice in quarters where his representations might be of avail. So far from this, an hour or two ajter.the conversation referred, when he callect upon meatthe War Department and told me that he could not get admittance, with the daughter of the prisoner, to the Executive Mansion, and asked for my assistance, I ae. him a;card to the Acting Military Secretary 08 the President, asking that gentleman to see the Rev, Mr. W., trusting this means woul pes is him’ in getting the ease before the seve Se In conclusion, Idistinetly aver that 10 Secs retary of War expressly and zeonty pe to the visit of a Catholic clergyman to Mrs, Sar- ratt.

There a in the connapIaeew iste an account Me mine me by United States troops, of a yill: ye enne Indians, pear Fort Lyon, fo. we a Territory. Congress took the matter in band, and iustructed the Committee on the Gonduct of the War to inquire into and allathe facts. Their report is just pablis , and from itwe get the following particulars, which seem. Ld the worst accounts published at the ie: in the summer of 1861 Governor Evans, of 0 Territory, as Acting Superintendent: of Indian Affairs, sent notice to all the friendly Indians within his jurisdiction, 97. vising them. they would be safe from the soldiers who were to take the field against the hostile Indians. Near the close of summer some Cheyenne Indians near Fort Lyon voluntarily delivered. to Major Wynkoop, commanding the fort, some white captives whom they had purchased of other Indians. At the same time several chiefs of the friendly Indians, by invitation of Major Wynkoop, visited Denver with him for the purpose of conferring with the anthorities there in regard to keeping peace. At the con- ference the chiefs stated that hey were friendly to the whites, and always hud mn, and that they desired peace. By advice of Governor Evans and Colonel Chivington they went to Fort Lyon, where they were treated somewnat as prisoners, receiving rations and being con- ined within certain bounds. Major Anthony relieved Major Wynkoop im command of Fort Lyon, and very soon ovased issuing rations tothem. They were told they hud better go were they could gain subsistence by hunting. Their arms were ee them, and, | on the suggestion of Major Anthony, they went to a point on Sand Creek, about 95 miles fronz Fort Lyon. While the Indians were thus rest= ing in fancied secrrity, and some of them un= der pay from Government as scouts, Colonel Chivington, with seven hundred mounted men. and two pieces of artillery, appeared at Fort Lyon, was there joined by an additional forca of one hundred and twenty-five men with five Fes of artillery, and concealing carefally is purpose, marched on the camp of the In= dians. There were in this camp one handred lodges of Cheyennes, under Black Kettle, and eightor ten lodges of Arapahoes, under Left Hand. It is estimated that each lodge contained five persons, and that half or more of thenz were women and children. The Indians made frier dly signs upon the approach of the troops, but they were di eho “Then,” we qnote here from the committee's report, “the scene of murder and barbarity here began—men, wo- men and children’ were indiscriminately slaughtered. In a few minutes all the Indians were flying over the plain in terror and cone tusion. A few who endeavored to hide them= selves under the bank of the creek were sur= rounded and shot down in cold blood, offering but feeble resistance. From the sucking babe to the old warrior, all who were overtake were ' deliberately murdered. Not content with killing women and children, who wera. incapable of offering nee Are pears the sol- diers indulged in acts of barbarity of the most revolting character.” This continued mora than two hours, the officers making no efforts to restrain: the savage cruelty of their men. Over one hundred bodies, chiefly of women and children, were left on the field. The com= mittee is particularly severe in its remarks upon Governor Eyans and Colonel Chiving= ton, concluding their report with the followin, recommendation: “Your committee are 0; opinion that for the purpose of vindicating the cause of justice and upholding the honor of tha nation, prompt and energetic measures should be at once taken to remove from office thosa who have thus disgraced the Government by whom they are employed, and to punish, a¢ their crimes deserve, those who have becm guilty of these brutal and cowardly acts.” - Baltimore Markets, July 20th.

Tue Verpict 1x THR Mary HARRIB TRIAL. The verdict only furnishes a new illustration of what must be regarded as a settled principle in American law—that any woman who con= siders herself aggrieved in any way by & meme ber of the other sex, may kill him with impuni- ty, and with an assured immunity trom the prescribed penalties of law. The man may really bave been guilty neither of, a. crime against her person, an assault upon her honor, nor an offence against her feelings; 1f ehe is seized by a fancy that bis course of conduct to~ ward her is not such as she had anticipated from his addresses, she may kill him upon no~ tice or without notice. If A man is murdered by a member of the opposite sex tn any of the cases supposed, or in almost any supposadle case whatever, she is almost certain to escapes not only the extreme penalty of the law, but any penalty whate ver. It were useless to find fault with this stateot things Itis peculiar to America, and people in general are decidedly proud of it. There is no reason in the nature of things why crimi- nals of one sex shouid be treaied with sueh ex— ceptional and dubious honor; but wko shall argue with the feelings of a jury, backed up by public sentiment and by custom? It is well enough, however, that every man should al- ‘ways bear the fact in mind, so that he may on. all occasions so comport himself in the presence of the sex as never to give any of them either areal or fanciful pretext for, taking him off un= timely.—N. ¥.
