TALCOTT, Tune 24. 1851, Brevet Brigadier General. Mr. Carlisie stated that the aco had some time since summoned the Hon, Wm. L. Marcy as a witness on his part. but that he had not yet come; and in case of his not eppearing, he should expect a reasonable delay Seem the court, in order that his testimony might be ob- rained. The Judge Advocate remarked to the court that, byan agreement with the counsel of the accused, they bad de- termined to examine witnesses only upon the points in the case in the order of time in which they occurred, and thus precent a continuous narrative This would neces- sarily involve the calling of some of the witnesses several times; but the court would find that they would arrive at the facts much sooner in this way than in any other. Capt. Maynardier called—Ile stated that he was the principal assistant to the Chief of the Ordnance Depart- ment, been on that duty from February 1, 1842, ‘to the present time continuously, and during that period General Talectt had becu in charge of the bureau. He étated that the usual annual sppropriation for the use of ‘the bureau was $100,000, which sum was for fortifications and the purchare of munitions of war generally. | He then proceeded: — During the temporary absence of Gen. ‘Talcott, in 1850, I was in charge of the bureat Carmichael called and submitted to me certain papers from ex-President Tyler and ex: Seare Wilkins, by virtue of which he claimed to be entitled to a contract for shot and shells. I referred him to the Secretary of | ‘War, (Mr. Crawford.) by whom the papers were sent to me for an official report. (The report was then read. The purport of it was, that the government did not require any shot or shell: but even if it did, it would first be necessary that sop riation should be made, as there were no funds on I was abrent from the bureau from 16th October to 1st November, 1850, and on my return learned that Doctor Carmichael had been there on the same business; but he bad gone before I came back. ‘The fecretary of War called. Question—Did Doctor Carmichael apply to contract to furnish shot? and. if so, state culars, Avswer—Some time about the latter end of October, 1860, or early in November, General Talcott came into my room at the department, shortly after [ reached it in ‘the morning. accompanied by # gentleman whom he in ‘troduced to me as Doctor Carmichael, of Virginia, Af. ter the gentlemen were seated, General Talcott told me tbat the Doctor wished to see me on business, which he would explain, Doctor (. then obeerved that he came to see me in relation to a contract for making shot. Ho taid that he made a contract for a considerable quantity ‘of shot with some ie previous head of the department, and that he had left office before the contract was executed, ond therefore the contract had vever been fulfilled; that he bad, however, applied to my immediate predecessor = Crawford) to carry out 1 {he contract, and that he recognind it, but had also left office before the contract Was executed, and that he celled upon me now to execute the contract. 1 asked him if he had the con- tract—or if it was in writing—I forget which; he stated that itwas not in writing, but that it was fully understood, snd that Mr. Crawford was satisfied of the existence of the contract aad recognised its validity. I asked him if he had any evidence of that recognition. General Lal- poe A, who was present during this conversation, had a undie of papers in bis hand. I asked General T. if | were the meets, and he replied they were. I re- | quested bim to band them to me, which he did. I ex1- mined the papers to look simply for the recognition of Mr. Crawford. 1 found a paper which I read attentively; and after doing so 1 observed to Dr. Carmichael that, according to thie paper. it seemed to me that Mr. Craw- ford, so far from acknowledging the existence of any | contract on the part of the government, expressly and | positively negatived the existence of a contract. The Doctor ssid he thought differently ; aod [ then read to Dim the last clause of Mr. Crawford's letter, in which he refers to the report of the Bureau of Ordaance, and said “<lat whenever the means are ved, the department would pursue the ordinary and legal mode of maxing rentracte"” ‘The Doctor still contended for some tine wat bis view of the letter was correct, and also stated that there was a verbsl understanding between hins-lf Mr Crawford, by which he was to make this t. In answer to that, I told him that I had ne @ rule, eve ing been frequently ealled upon to made by or with my predecessors, to recognise nothing dinding Y (hat did aot appear upon the records of thi partincnt,or in writing. The Doctor made a very earavst appeal to me to be allcwed to make some shot. and pre sented what he considered good many arguments to in- duce me to let him make some shot; but I persisted in my refusal in very positive terms, He left the office somewhat dissatisfied at my decivion Question—Did General Talcott take any part in the a dove conversation ? Answer—My recollection is, that during the whole of the conversation General Talcott remained silent.

A.—Doctor Carmichael upon me to allow him to make a quantity of shot, partly on the ground of a posl- tive contract, and partly Hy aceount of equitable circum- stapces which he mentioned—such as having made ar- rangements to comply with the contract. and having been disappointed ; and in fact used every means to in- duce me to give him a contract, as o people do who want to make one with the government, and mentioned among other things, that he was going to live in my city, New Orleans. 1 was inflexible, however, and perhaps showed some little impatience, because [ thought’ hi he haa attempted to introduce a deception upon me, and he finally gave up in despair. Q.—Please to state at what time you left this city in the fall of 1550; and when did you return? ‘A —I loft in the early part of October, and was gone a fortnight or twenty days. I returned on the 23d Octo- ber, 1850, as the records of the department show, and re- sumed the business of the depaxgmment om the 2ith4 Question by the Court.—Was there anything in the circumstance inconsistent with the supposition that General Talcott, after Doctor Carmichael had finished his argument, would, at that interview, have given the inion he afterwards expressed, viz: that there was no pledge in. Mr. Crawford's letter, provided you, in the mean time, bad not come to the same opinion by the pe- rusal of ‘Sir. Crawford's letter. ‘A.—The reason why my surprise at General Talcott's silence, when Doctor Carmichael asserted that there was a written Tecogaition of the contract by Mr. Crawford, was increased by his remarking the next day, or a day cr two after, that I was right in my decision by deciding that there was no recognition, was this:—I had supposed it possible that General Talcott agreed with Doctor Car- michael in thinking that the letter signed by Mr. Craw- ford amounted to a recognition of his contract; buat when he afterwards said that he agreed with me that there was no such tion, my surprise at his silence increased, because I did not know how to account for it. Captain Maynadier recalled. Q.—In making your report to the Secretary of War, in May, 1860, did General Talcott ever express to you an opinion upon the subject? A.—I do not recollect ever to have heard General Tal- cett express an opinion on that subject; but in writing that report, as in charge of the department during bis temporary absence, I endeavored to express exactly what I thought would be his views. if present. I was in the habit of writing sometimes without previously consulting Genre ‘alcott, and then submitting them to him for examination; and it was nt rarely that on any official question we disagreed at all. I therefore have | no doubt that if General Talcott had been present he would bave sigued the same report I made, and that it would have gone to the Seerctary with his signature in so meny words, General Talcott subsequently read and approved my re Lhave quite a distinct recollection that I showed him the report shortly after his return in May or June, 1550; and I am quite certain that he ex- pressed bis approbation of it in March of this year. Q.—Has not that report stood from that day to this as the official report in Doctor Carmich sel’s case | A.—It has s0 steod. Q.—De you know that any other subsequent occasion arose for any report or other official action of the bureau in that matter before Doctor Carmichael brought up the case to Mr. Conrad last fall? A.—I do not Judge Advocate.—Mr. President, I propose the defence admit that he was at Willard’s Motel on the 23d of Octo- ber, 1850. [Admitted] Colonel B, Huger sworn, vill you relate to the court the facts and ciroum- stances attending re Doctor Carmichael, in No- vember last, an order to furnish supplies to the Ordnance Department? A—Ve oy in November last, Doctor Carmichael came to Old Point Comfort (Fort Monroe), [ understood from Washiagton. He stated to me— Counsel for Defence—The aceused objects to any testi- mony being given as declarations or statements by Doc- tor Carmichael, of the purport or scope of declarations of which he, the accused, not being present, can have no knowledge. and which ure clearly incompetent to affect him in any manner. Objection noted, but no decision made by the court. Examination of Col Huger resumed. Q.—Did you af- terwards communicate the substance of this conversation with Doctor Carmichael to General Talcott ? A.—I do not recollect whether I did or not. I fur- nished Doctor Carmichuel with a memorandum of such shot as I thought it advantageous for the United States to procure, On the 8th of November, Doctor Varmichael returned to Fort Monroe from Washington, and handed me a letter authorizing me to procure shot and shell: signed by General Talcott. [Letter read in evidence. When he brovght me that letter, Igave him an order fora —aey- ‘One reason yt was induc sd to give him this order immediately was, that a foundry near Frede- ricksburg, of which he was an agent, had made shot on similar terms, and I understood from him that they were to be made at the same foundry. It was distinctly un- derstood that they were to be made at the foundry, and the fuct had great weight with me in giving him the — Doctor Carmichael also handed me a memoran- dum from a clerk in the Ordnance Department (Mr. Alger), showing the lowest prices ever paid for shot or shells, I have not got the memorandum, and it was probably lost. It stated the price of shot and shells wenerally, without distinguishing as to calibre, and that was the ttipulated for by Doctor Carmichael, with an additional fraction to cover the expenses of trans- | portation from the foundry to Fort Monroe. By the mxt mail I received « letter from Mr. Alger, stating that, upon examination, he found some shot had been purebased at a less rate; thir last letter arrived after Doctor Carmichael had left. I came to Washington about the middle of November. A few days after my ival here, General Talcott referred to me a letter from hovernor Kemble to him, dated Nevember 11. (Original | « shown.) Tam not certain how er where I recelved this letter; my impression was that General Talsott brought it to me, and I was told that it was referred to me to answer, (The letter stated that Dr. Carmichael had offered Mr. Kemble the contract, reserving to himself the “lion's share” of the profits.) L answered the letter, (copy produced.) but before do- ing so consulted with General Talcott about the matter, pileh was the first conversation with him upon the sub: ject (The letter states that he fs not autherized to transfer the contract in the manner which Dr. Carmichael pro- pored to Mr that » limited number of #l weuld be required at a time, and then only in such quan- tities as there were funds to pay for them.) I showed my answer to General Taleott. The General agreed with me that it was a proper answer, and I con- sidered that he approved of ny course in’ declining to make the transfer to Kemble, The General did remark to me that the Seeretary of War would be incensed, and justly s0, if such an order for supplies should be hawked * atin market. He also did express surprise at the ount of the order; bat Ldid not understand him as reproving me for having done so, A few days writing that letter I received one from Captain Ston: temporary command of the arsenal at Fort Monroe during my abserice, of the contents of which I informed | Talcott (The letter of tain Stone. enclosing power of attor. ney from Doctor Carmichael in favor of J.

And this will be the opinion of all who may desire to invest their surplus funds. A few days rince, the readers of the Herald attached to the First Division of military, in the city of New York, were made acquainted with # movement started in the Legislature to ise that well disciplined and unsurpassed command. This morning, Col. Crolins, to whom the matter had been referred, ioformed the Senate that the Military Committee of that body were unanimously opposed to making any alterations in the present organization. It is now rendered quite certain that having got “out of the woods,” the Legislature will adjourn at an early day next week. This m Mr. Senator Johnson ion troduced a joint resolution ie ‘Tuesday as the day, which will no doubt be adopted, making just three week's time of this extraordinary session, ‘Twenty thou- sand dollars have been appropriated to cover the expenses, which will be sufficient. The bill which Burr introduced some ten days since in the House. intending to dictate to railroad com- panies who rhall not be dead: bead p Dessongees, has not ven taken up for action, It is such a ridiculous idea for the Legislature to say who shall not be carried free over the railroads of this State, that the author of the propo- sition will receive but slight support should he attempt to bring it up for discussion. At the regular session the Regents of the University were directed to employ a competent accountant to inves- tigate the complicated and intricate financial affairs of Dr. Nott, pi nt of Union College. The various official reports submitted to the Legislature by investigating committees, indicated that enormous amounts of money had been squandered and misapplied, The answers of Dr. Nott and Mr. Hollar d, the College Treasurer, involved the affairs in still deeper mystery; hence the necessity of sending a special accountant to Schenectady to unravel the webwork, and if possible furnish the Legisiature some reliable data’ upon which action may be based. It was expected that a report would be made tothe Legislature at its procent extra session Some two months have sren cccupied in examining the books; but it is now said that the report is to be made to the next Legislature. Its to be hoped that the same influence which induced a cer- tain member of the Committee on Colleges, in the House of 1849, to advocate the cause of the College, bas not been at work with the aforesaid Regents and their selected accountant, to present another white washing report. ‘The present Legislature has not instituted any commit- tees to investigate any public matters during the recess; but if there ever was ax occasion for one, it is required under Mr. Dewey's resolution to penetrate the hidden reces:es of the Emigrant Comumussioners, CITY TRADE REPORT.
