TUR SANITARY COMMISSION. ‘The meanness and di of the claims of justice and Aumanity of the rebel gulborities ix strikingly Mlustrated iu their treatment of the agents and employes of the Sane tary Commission captured during the recent canspaign in Peunsylvavia and Maryland. On the 19th of Jumo Alfred Brovgie, an agent of the Commission, was captured on his way from Maryland Heights, where he had been with supplies for our sick and wounded soidiers. On tho 4th i | | of July Dr. McDonald, who had charge of the operations of the Sanitary Commission in Peunsylvania; Rev. Mr. Scandlin, who waa also in the service of the Comynission, and Leonard Brink, driver, and a colored asaistét, were captured in Pen: oayivania with a wagon load of delicacies and medical supplies whish they were transporting for the relies and comfort of the wounded goldiers of both ar mies. It was believed and stated by rebel officers and surgeons withiv our lines that it would only be necessary to make # statement of the facts mm them cases to secure their immediate gpa* pgconditional release by the rebel Authorities. What makes thotr continued dotention the more outrageous is the fact that relief was indiscrimi- ately exteadod to the necessitous of both armies. No questiona were asked as to which side the suiferor by- longed, but the wounded and dying were regarded and treated as brothers, and their wants and sufferings relieved us far a3 possible, Tho rebel surgeous who wero left within our fines unanimously signed petition to General Lee, s'ating the position of these mou and the service rendered by them to the wounded rebel sol- diers, and requesting their release on the ground of justice aud humanity, They believed that this would insure the result, but up to the present time not the slightest notice has been taken of this or of the repeated appiteations of the Sanitary Commission for their release, and they are atill retained in close coufnement in the Libby prison at Richmond. ‘The latest information received from them ts contained in a briet letter from Dr. McDonald, dated August 5. ‘Their imprisonment was rather wearing upon then, but still they were in as good condition as could be expecte:l. Cpen letters which had been forwarded to them through the Commissioners of Exchange had not been delivered to them, and they were without information from home. Much indignation is expressed by rebel sargeons and oiffi- cers within our lines at the treatment of thoee gentlemen. The Sanitary Commission have their opcrations in General Meade’s army well orgauized,,baving an agent with each corps, whose duty it is to sce that un adequate supply of such articles aa are requisite for the relicf of the sick of the respective corps is kept on band. A superintendent of the whole has charge of thom, and sees that nothing is neglected or wanted that can be supplied. The Commission is now opening a very large lodge at Alexandria, on the pian of those io thin city, where sick or wounded soldiers passing through can be properly attended to and their necessities temporarily supplied. Such a lodge has beeu much needed there, and will do a great deal of good. . The agents of the Commission are still engaged at Get- tysburg, whore there aro still nearly two thousand of the ‘worst cases yet undor treatment. Aclearance has been obtained from Secretary Chase for a cargo of ice for Morris Isiand, for the use of the Commission, which will be sent forward at once. Tce recent statement of the want of ice at that point has boen promptly responded to, the government having forwarded asupply, and private benevolence, through the agency of the Commission, will soe that herea‘ter a sufficient quan- tity is forwarded, not enly for the sick and wounded, but also for the benefit of those not in hospital whore arduoys and exhausting dutics require such refreshment and relief ag can only be afforded in this way. ORGANIZATION OF NATIONAL BANKS. Up to this time sixty-four companies have applied to the Treasury Department for authority to act as patioval banks under the new banking law. They are largely from Objo and Indiana, where the local bank currency has hitherto been vory insecure. SOLDIERS’ BOUNTIRG. Mr. Solicitor Whiting recently decided that the volun- teers first called out by the President are not entitied to bounty uoder the act of 1861. At the accounting offices this decision is tabooed, as the first section of the act provides that ail provisions of law applicable to three years’ volunteers shall apply to all volunteers who have been or may be accepted Into the service of the United States for a period not less than six months. APPOINTMENTS. Ben}. F. Hall, late Chiet Justice of Colorado Territory, nag accepted the appoiatment of Cansul at Valparaiso, ‘This office was some time ago conferred upon ex-Governor Harding, of Utah, who now takes the place vacated by Judge iall.

CASE OF CASHELL, Much feoting is expressed here among army officers and ¢itizeus about tho late order of the Seeretary of War dissolving the Court Martial which tried Mr. Oasholl, of Maryland. Great astonishment provaile tmat such ua. Precedento! prosumption oa the part of sho revising @uthority should be tolerated unnoticed. Tho article of war under which the charge agatust Cashell was tried, Provides the penalty of death, or such penalty es the Court should prescribe; yet the Secretary, or, moat pro- badiy, Judge Advocate Holt, the special revising au- thority, presumes to waive the question of tho illegality of the proceedings and finding of the Court, and to condemu the Court upoa the point of conacieacc—.s matter entirely out of the of the revising power. The question now ts whether the Major General and four Brigaciors forming that court are to be considered unworthy of a place on any court martial during this ad- ministration, or whether they are expected to sacrifice alt dignity and solf respect and expose themselves to ano| similar rebuke for nonconformity to the peculiar notions and d’ctates of certain parties in poi ‘ho hold their political prejudices in terrorem over their heads, setting at nought ail Jaw, military usago and testimony. It is rumored that the members of the Cashell Court Martia will eithor decline sitting on any other court or tender their resignations, Certainly they must take some cog- nizance of the indignity imposed on them or suffer in the Public estimation. ‘Tho facts brought out on tho trial are woll known to all who attended the sittings of the court, There was no evidence of any voluntary act on the part of Cashell upon which he could be convicted of anything beyond indiacre- tiou, while replying to questions put to him by the rebels, undor fear of their immodiate vengeance, On the con- trary,it was proven that be did all in his power to vhwart the : urpos» of the enemy. Not coutent with the poremptory ordor dissolving the court, and covering its members with implied disgrace, by misrepresenting the law aad tho facts, the Secretary bas ordered the trial of Cashe!l for the same offence, by the civil court of the District—sa outrage upon law and the rights of tho citizen, unprecedentod tn the anbala of jurisprudence. There will probably be no more trials of citizens by courts martial during the present regency. CONSUL TO PLYMOUTH, ENGLAND. H. B. Luddington, of New York, has been appointed ‘United States Cousul to Plymouth, Kngland, THE RECKIPTS FROM THE RXCISE TAX. The Trine correspondent, hence, in secking, by vulgar epithets,to impugn the statemeut of this cor- respondent touching the excises, makes himself ridiculous in the opinion of politicians here by saying that tho receipts do not come up to the eatimutes, but the Secro tary of the Troasury 1s not anxious about it. SeerStaries and financiers in Congress are always ,gailed when their estimates aro not nearly approximated by reports. Probably stringent measures will be recom- mended by the Secretary, whereby a more true and faithful disclosure of tne taxablo property of citizens may be had; for it is felt that the excise re- turns would be more satisfactory nad there not been con- cealments. Tho bad opinion, however, is, that this alone will not avswer the wants of the Treasury; but there ‘must be an incroage of tho rates of taxation in various General Thomas Welch, commander of the First divi- siou of the Ninth army corps, died at Cincinnati on the evening of the 14th Instant.

Soa steamers, as gonoraily constructed, have either tho ordinary Bolton & Watts Jot condenser, involving the use of salt water in the boilers, or some form of surface condenser, In which the steam from the engine is concensed by the action of seit wator upon the tubes of the condenser—the salt water passing outboard, and the fresh water (the water produc. ext by the condensation of the steam exhausted into the condenser) being returned to the boilers, The first is subject to the objection that tho water in the boiler, ay ft approaches the point of suturation, requires to be “blown off” to reduce It to a point where saturation will not oecur—the operation involving « loss of fuel (and necessarily of power) equal to about twenty five per cont— and also that tho boilers are rapidly deteriorated by the deposition of the salt scale upon their inner #irfaces. Tho objection to the surface condensers, as used, is thas the tubes of which they are composod are subjected to an clectro-galvanic OF some other destructive action, that nort time renders the apparatus partially or wholly tive. ihe “refrigerator leaves the condeoaing engine intact, 4, acting third assistant engineer, pot meriering with or changing the operation of it in any rempeng. 6 koe the injeotion water from the ‘hat wail!

Incase of damige tie apparatus, the engine can be ured with thy ordinary “galt water” injection, obviating the objection to the surlace condenser, that in case of break or damage to it the engine is rendered usoless (except by workiog non condensing) antil the coudenser is repaired The “refrigerator” is supplied with water by the move mont of the voasel through the water, making the cheap ost means Of supply yet devised. ‘The ball Of the voaso! har been ro strengthened Unat she can carry a very heavy battery, aod rhe rates so high that a full captain has been appointed to command her.
