HOPKINS, Acting Assistant Surgeon. Dr. Hopkins further testified that he submitted it to Dr. White for his signature. The latter said that it con- ,4ained the truth, and that he would sign it and send it to General Winder, but he didnot sign it, and the wit- ness did not know that anything had been done to carry out the’ Judge Advocate Chipman then submitted a general order of General Winder, addressed to Dr. Hopkins, to show tliat the Richmond authorities had knowledge of ‘the condition of the Andersonville prison, and that » General Winder had authority to apply a remedy. Oross-examined by Mr. Schade—The witness said he id not know who was to biamie; Captain Wirz signed the orders as commander of the interior of the prisons; he could see no great difficulty in the way of improve- H. B. Harrold, who was a shipper of supplies at Ame- rious, testified that he did not think they were ever out of bacon and meal ; there were as much there as could be \ined—He said the provisions furnished to the prisoners wore the same as furnished to¢he Con’ede- Fate soldiers.

ONE OF THE WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENCE COM- MITTED TO THE OLD CAPITOL PRISON. James W. Duncan, who had ill-troated some of the prigoners at Andersonville, causing the death of one of them, and who was arrested in the court room yesterday, has been committed to the Old Capitol Prison. This man Was summoned hither as a witness for Captain Wirz. and ibis counsel. for Military Heroes in Court. THE SUPREME COURT IN COMPETITION WITH THE % POLITICAL CONVENTIONS. SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TRRM. Before Justices Ingraham," Leonard and Sutherland. While the political conventions recently have been vieing with each other for the honor of nominating military heroes for high offices, the Judges of the Supreme Court have not been altogether idle in striving to reward the gallant men who have done so much for their country. During the week just about to end there was avery remarkable coincidence in applications for admissions to the bar of New York by men who have served inthe army of the Union. The ball opened on Tuesday last, when Mr. Jamos T. Brady marched into the room of ‘the General Term of the Supreme Court, bowed in bis most graceful manner, placed his hat and briefs upon the table, and then in his happy manner proceeded to move for the admission tag the bar of New ‘ork of his friend Colonel Lucius C. Duncan, of Louisiana, for many years a prominent lawyer of that State. Judge Ingraham, the Presiding Justice, took the papers, and after the usual formalities of inspecting the applicant's credentials, &c., granted the motion of Mr. rady. The next case was on Wednesday. The venera- ble ex-Judge Mitchell, for many years presiding justice of the New York Supreme Court, appeared before the assembled justiges ‘of the General Term, and moved for the admission of Moody B. Smith, of North Carolina, a tall, strapping member of the legal profession, standing over six feet in altitude in his stocking vamps. Mr. Smith was likew'se in the army, but in what capacity our reporter was unable to learn. He was duly admitted. ‘The next day (Thursday)two more applications were made. One of the aspirants was a major general, and the other a brigadier general in the United States army. ‘They were brothers, and were both wounded at the bat- tle of Gettysburg, where one of them was shot through the eye and narrowly escaped death. Their names are Cc. B. and E. H. en nephews of Mr. Edwin W. Ropauton ms well known member of New York bar, who ¢ honor to move their adm: which was granted. - The brothers bail from the State of Vermont. Yesterday, to bos 3 the climax, Col.

Maggregor his friend's admission to the bar, and mnted the nec cre- {linols before the rebellion,” Judge Tograbam’ signed fore the rebellion. tT the appl ‘and all that still remains to be done is for Mr. Daniel B.

The fireman was blown ashore, receiving fatal injuries. The engineer, his wife and boy, are missing, and are sapposed to be lost. Several others were seriously injured. Part of the boiler was blown a distance of one hundred yards. The Nimrod was owned by a New York oi! company, and is a total loss. The cause of the explosion is anknown. Schooner Sunk. Boston, Sept. 22, 1865.

Her crew were savod. ie nd The Lake Superior and P: road. Mowtneat, Sept. 22, 1865, Colonel Rowland, as Commissioner of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, is here conferring with the Canadian government and others relative to uniting British capital with the grants of the United States in the construction of the Lake Superior and Puget Sound Rail- foad. Colonel Rowland is confident the commergial in- fluence of Canada will be most fully accorded to this Project as one of great international importance to the People of both cor jes; and he has no doubt that his tolssion will be crowned with success.

These vessels will be ac- companied to their destination by Commodore John Rodgers. Trial Trip of the Salmon P. Chase. INTENDED HAVOC ON CANADIAN SMUGGLERS. It may be remembered that one of the first acts of Congress in thetr'last session was the appropriation of one million dollars for the construction of six revenue cutters to ply on Lakes Ontario, Erie and Superior. This was done in consequence of the immense amount of smuggling carried on between the Canadian and American shares. The cutters to be built aro intended to cover tho St, Lawrence from Ogdensburg to the highest point of Lake Superior; and as they will be the fleetest of their kind, a great deal of the illicit tramc referred to will be prevented. Tho department, in con- sideration of many services, directed T. B. Stillman, Esq , Superintendent of Construction, to furnish plans and specitications for vessels of the highest speed, con- sistent with their size, for the service. In accordance with these instructions six steamers have been con- structed, having the following dimensions:—Length, 175 feet; breadth, 28 feet; depth, 11 feet; about 400 tons bur- den, old measurement. Armament, one thirty-pounder Parrott and two Dahigren twenty-four-pounder howitzers. Side wheels, ines, Seg spt inch cylinder, nine feet stroke. twenty-six fect in diametor. Contracts were made for the construs of vos- sels with James Murphy & Co., Fulton Iron Works New York; Fletcher & , J. & RJ. Gray, Jesse Completed and availing acceptance by the departimen le awaiting accep! y Ic) ent.

THE SECOND DAY’S PROCEEDINGS, THE ORDINANCE OF SECESSION. Personnel of the Members of the Convention. Re. ke. ae. Our Montgomery Correspondence.. Montaomser, Ala., Sept. 12, 1865. The Convention is now fairly under way. Ninety- eight members have alreagy arrived, which completes the allotted number the State is entitled to, with the ex- ception of two counties whioh have not yet held their elections. The session to-day was a very brief one, the Premdent not yet having had time to appoint the various committees, and till this is done nothing of importance will transpire. From present indications we are to be treated orinflicted with an immense amount of eloquence, 8. nearly every member has evidently come with a set speech, and will not bo satisfied tili he bas an oppor- tunity of delivering it, For respectability and talent the present Convention will compare favgrably with any hitherto held in the’ State, Many of the memboys have held positions of trust in the councils of the State and nation yd gone by, and during the rebellion bave represented Conservative clement of the State. ‘THE DISTINGUIGIRD MEMERRE. Among the m inent members are ex-Governor and ex-United States Senator Bei in Fitgpatrick, ex- Governor Winston, Hon. Robert Colonel John A. Elmore, ex-Speaker Crawford, Judge Mudd, “William P. Webb, General Fair, ex-Minister to Belgium; Ju Foster, James 8. Clark, Judge Dox and 0. C. Sheets. The last named, together with Mr. J. 8. Clark,.were Union members of the convention that passed the ordinance of secession, Mr. Sheets refused to append his name to the bill, in consequence of which his life was threatened. He was afterwards arrested and thrown into prison, where he remained for fourtzen months for his stubborn- ness and open Union sentiments. Upon his release his Union friends in Winston county sent him to the Legis- lature, where he did all in his power to oppose the Jeff. Davis government and bring the war to a close. He is ‘again a member of this Convention, aiding by vote and voice in restoring the State to her legitimate relations with the general government. There are but, few such Patriots to be found in the South as Mr. Sheet. Robert’ M. Patton, of Lauderdale county, is also pro- minent for his conservative sentiments during the war, and for the high position he occupied as a politician long previous, He was an old line whig and for many years the presiding officer of the State Senate, As a prée- Siding officer he has few superiors. He worked and voted against disunton to the last, Judge Foster, of Calhoun, and Judge Dox, of Madison county, were born in the State of Now York, and are both men of prominence. They are from Northern Ala- bama, where a majority of the inhabitants have remained loyal during the war. I know of no violent original se- cessionists who are members of the Convention and elected as such, The ordinance abolishing slavery for ever in the Stato will be passed withont much opposition, avd the indications now are that a bill admitting negro testimony in courts of justice and right to hold property will be also passed. It ig known that Governor Parsons is strongly in favor of it. Moxtaowsnr, Ala., Sept. 13, 1865. The Convention was called to order at ten o'cloek. Six additional delogatos wero qualified and took their soats ‘a8 members of the Convention. AN ORDINANCE REPEALING TUR ACT OF SECESSION.

The colored people of this city and Brooklyn observed yesterday the second anniversary of the Etnancipation Proclamation, which was issued in September, 1863, although it did not take effect until the Ist of the ensu ing January. The celebration was held at Hanft's Myr- tle Avenue Park, in which upwards of a thousand col- ored people of both sexes pasticipated. At nine o’ Councils Nos. 1 and 2 of the Union League, consisting of about four hundred men, pursuant to public notice pre viously given, assembled on Sixteenth street, each member of the leagua being neatly attired in @ black suit and white gloves, At ten o'clock the procession was formed in the following order:— Squad of Police.

Council No. 2; President, Wm. P: Powell. The procession proceeded up Sixteenth street, down Broadway to Grand street, down Grand street to the Wil- Namsburg ferry; crossing which, they took the East New York cars, On leaving tho cars they again formed, and marched to Myrtle Avenue Park. On emtering the park they formed in line, with the soldiers facing the Union League, and wore addressed President Con of League No. 1, who said—foldiers of the Twenty-sixth, you are brought here to-day in honor of the emancipation of four millions of your color. You have been ont this and otber States, and you havo gained and won honors which will last while the country lasts. Conduct yourselves well to-day, and avoid drink; respect yourselves and you will respect us. Tam proud to have you with us to-day to join in this celebration, But let me ask you again to be careful how you act, White people are looking upon us as a race. If this day is disgraced by you it will be handed down to posterity. Remember you have gained a name, and I hope you will always retain it. (The soldiers responded by giving three hearty cheors for the Colored Union League, and three more for their Colonel, Silliman.) Then turning to the members of the Union ue, he advised them to conduct themselves like good, sober and intelligent men, and show the white people that they were such. He was aware that there was an enemy lurking around them; yet they were not without friends, and warm ones, too, among the white people. Above all other evils he would.warn them to avoid the use of intoxicating liquors, which steal the senses away, When he had concluded his remarks, the marshal or- dered all present to hold up their bands and promise to observe the day ina sober and proper manner, which was done, and the order ‘Union League, break ranks,” having been given, the crowd pushed its way to the plat- form. The band having played a lively air, the “Freed. mans’ Hymn’? was sung in fine style. After which, the Kev. Dr, Prxxinatox, a popular colored divine, was in. troduced to tho assembla;e, and speaking from the music stand, said:—Ho came there to address them on the sub- ject of the Emancipation proclamation, which in the first place meant the freedom of a race of four million of people, men, women and children, who had been emancipated by the will of one man. ‘This was a commemoration, and every nation has a word in the dictionary s'gnifying commemoration. Tho French called it memora; the Latin memorea. Because that one word emancipated four millions of people, the devils of this country had killed him. But the nation had sanctioned the freedom of the race. This sanction meant that every man emancipated and free had the right to véte, and no man had any right to object to his vote. Every man had a right to sit in the jury box. He had read it; he had read the laws of all civilized nations while at Heidelberg University. Every man freed by Abraham Lincoln had a right to free labor, and they meant to contend for it; and every man hada right to fight for his rights, and further he bad a right to worship God. And yet it is said you must not hang Jeff. Davis. God hath said:—‘‘He who stealeth a man and selleth him shall surely be put to death."’ He would say that a man had a right to stay where he {s, notwithstanding colont- zationists had proposed that they should be gont away. The law of ations anthorized every man to vote in the country where he was born, and Mr. Lincoln intended that they should vote, andthe Almighty intended that they should vote where they were born.

They bad much to contend with—the policy of Andrew Johnson was not that of Abraham Lincoln. He had asserted that treason was the greatest crime before God and man; and also that all traitors should bo pun- ished and prevented from holding office, Yet these traitors were to-day trampling upon the lamation of freedom. He did not want to en, ler a spirit of violence. The force @ county would give the loyal men of the South that right which in justice should be theirs.
