THE M'DOWFLL COURT OF INQUIRY, The Court of Ingciry tn the case of Major Gonora, McDowell met at the usvalbour, A letter to Brigadier Goneral Shieldg, dated June 4, 1862, wes presented in ov! dence by General McPowell, Colonel Schriver was re- callod, and tertified that the letter produced was written near Luray, in the Shenandoah va'ley. It related to foraging inthe cnemy’s country. The witness stated that supplies had Leen ordered to be seized; that orders to this effect were repeatedly given by General McDowell, and that the Chief of the Supply Department was directed to keep account of them, but for want of returps from suboraipates, by whom the seizures were made, aad the transfer of officers from one piace to another, it was diMfcult to keep a correct account. By direction of veral McDowell he had repeatedly called attention of svbordinate officers to thig matter. In rofordnde fo #1 sanitary condition of General McDowell's troops, witness testified to the General's watchfu.ness and care, and alco to us perwontd sede to tye instruction of his geldiers Hy on Spend a verbal to subordinate commanders, and by minute inspective on his entirecommand.” Gonoral McDowell asked the Court at this point whether or not they intended to follow in their order the four points of inquiry originally adepted by them. The ques- tion proposed would seem to bear more directly upon the fourth than the second, now undergoing investigation. If the Court so decided, however, he was ready, After a closed session of threo quarters of an hour, the Court decided that, while desirous to pursue the ral course indicated, any inquiry pertinent to the case in general was proper. Tho witness testifed ta rogard to the good condition and discipline of the troops originally under General McDowell; that they were in every respect superior te those subsequently attached to his command. He was prosent at,the battle of Csdar Mountain, and the last attic of Bull run, and the threo days’ engagement at the fords of the Rappakannook. Ho had heard nothing from officers or men derogatory to the General's man- agement of his troops, nor had he seen any indeci- sion or want of ability on bis part. He knew of no instance in which Gonesal McDowoll had failed wheo ealled upon to render all the assistance ho could to any other commander, The witness here gave s history of his military career from the time of his West Point schotar. ship. He stated that tho aim of General McDowell appeared to be to protect Union men and to take the proporty of rebels for the use of the army without paying them for the same. In other cases where Union property was taken, payment bas beon made on satis. factory evidence of loyalty. Safeguards have been granted to Unionists by Gem, McDowell, He had used evory effort to promote the eMcioney of his troops by impressing upon officors and soldiers the necessity of divesting themselves of all unnecdssary baggage, &o., tonding to create large transportation trains, The witness promised to produce documentary evidence on this question at a proper time ‘Whon Gon, McDowell arrived at Rectortown, finding there ‘fa detachment of sick men, he took especial pains per. sonally to have their wants supplied, and rebuked the gurgoon in charge for neglecting bis important duty, and aftorwards had tho delinquent officer tried for the offense, Ata quarter to three P.M. the Court adjourned untt eloven A.
