TESTIMONY OF COL. THOMAS.
When th* foregoing were rend. Major Wyne taid that he
admitted having duly received them, except that dated
April, wblrh he did bot receive before the 13th of the
sans month.
Judge Advocate?Did Major Wyz* refute to obey the
?rder? f State the facte.
Wttnoae?He did refuae to obey the order to proceed
with the foer compenlee on the ateemer Falcon, when
the nr''" of the if'h " - -;jv '?-Uij, --J., ?D,
i?, ? h aire ia the harbor, aad ate four of the re
maioing companies spoken of in the ihird para taph;
when the order of April 1 ??? issue t. Major \Vys?- wa*
th? senior company officer on doty with thorn, and the
officer charged with conducting tho e four companies;
his own company wan ataToae I ?i i'ort Columbus; the
two companies which have senior captain* to hone If
were at Fort Wood; Brevet I,t. Colou'l Burke and Brevet
Major Anderson were the two senior company officer*?
the former sick at Kort Wood from injuries receive! on
hoard the Fan Francisco, the latter the Governor of the
Western Military Asylum in Kentucky; about the 5tb of
April Major W;ie called in person at my office, ami
stated that it was important ho should see his family
in Maryland before departing, and asked leave
for that purpose for even days, which were granted to
him by the General-in-Chief; I then told Major Wyse
that he was the senior commanding officer of the Fourth
Company, and, as such, 1 intendo 1 addressing him a let
ter in reference io some points of the movement; he re
plied, " I could send it to him in Maryland;" I tol l him
that was umieees ary, as he need not attend to those
I articular points till his return, as they related to thing*
on his route?that I would send the letter to his post: I
stated al o that all these instructions had been given at
Washington, except the designation of the two compa
nies to stop at Pan Diego; that I had designated the.->e
companion, leaving his company to go to Benicla, lie
cause. as senior officer, charged with the movement, I
w ished him to conduct it to its destination; on the loth
of April I addressed the letter of instructions of that
day to Major Wyse; the re:.son why I put the first para
graph in this letter was because Lieut. Colonel Swords,
Quartermaster, either ou that day or tho day previous,
slated tliut Major Wyse had made no arrangements with
him relative to his transportation.
[This port of the testimony was objected, on the
ground that tlie conversation of a third party is incom
petent.]
Witness resumed?I issued the instructions contained
in the first paragraph of that letter, in consequence of a
report made to me by Col. Swords that day or the day
before; the order of April 11, changing the date of em
barkation front the 20th to the 1Mb, was in consequence
of a representation received from Mr. Aspinwall; on Fri
day, the l-lth of April, Major Wyse called at my office,
and after saving he was very glad the change had been
n. ole from the -Vth to the 1Mb, asked if the next Board
of the Officers of the Army could not he ordered to in
spect the l'nlcou; that the officers of his own command
were junior officers; 1 told him it coulloiily be done in
Washington, and it tris tuo lute to make an application
.1 etc: lie rc| lied it could he done by telegraph; 1 sub
mitted hi* proposition to the General hi Chief, b it he
di cllt.ed doing to, stating, however, if I knew of any navy
officer of rank in the city, he would b-> glad to accept of
liis services for tho purpose; in connection with junior
officers, l;e retorted me to section 718 of Artnt Regula
tions, which paragraph only referred to himself.
This seel io" was here read, as follows:?
7'8 Or Acs v Usui i At ions ?The commanding officer of
tlie troops ir other officer* charged with an embarkation,
will order one --r more medical officers to accompany the
particular comuini-crr- who are to embark on board tho
io oral 'rati ports, fi r the purp -se of making s ino-t mlniito
inspection of ti e respective vessels, before the troops are
so t on 1 oard.
1 asked Major Wyse if he had seen the Falcon; he re
plied ?'no," 1 told him he had better aee the vessel, nnd
lie stated he was on his way for that purpose; on the 14th
April, Major Wyse addressed that communication to me
[letter handed to Major l.ee ] I first saw it on Sunday, the
lCtli. just at lOo'clock ; 1 opened it;ou the next morning; I
showed it to the Commander in Chief, and he directed
me to issue that order.
The following letter and the order Mcro then read:?

The recommendations of this board (marked C ) confirmed

eaten with the rn?t. 1 left tin whaf with a mortification
which 1 cannot express. There was the most humble
forcign?r, who ha\ing paid his fare, was told, "You snail
be taken to the laud of gold in that tine first daa-? shin;"
but to the soldiers, many of whom had shed their blond in
their country's cause, and most of whom had s j recently
suffered the dreadful horrors of shipwreck and sickness by
being in an nnseawortby vessel, was virtually addressed
tips language, "There is no one to protect von We will
"" " Anything is goou * *" *
put you on that old crsft. Anything is good enough for a
soldier; so get to California as well itsyoiicau." My first
impulse wa* to leave the service, which had become so de
graded befote the community that its members could not
obtain that consideration which was accorded to the hum
Meat foreigner; but 1 xefiocted tLnt this course would
not cure the evil, anu rcu embciing that our worthy Presi
dent ba* .-aid our flag shall be au inviolable panoply to all
American citizens, 1 thought 1 would take a stand which
w ould bring this duration to an issue, with the hope of be
ing able to convince the community that the auierican s >1
db r nit bough clothed in the livery of his country, was nev
crtbeleas an American citizen, anu at least as such, entitled
to some consideration.
1 think there cannot be a doubt that the object so far as
the steamship company it- concerned, was to pilin us off on
the old Faloon. and take the other ship full of passen
gers, for 1 Hin told the Georgv Law is now as fu?l as she can
old, nt the risk of crtuimiug us all on the John L.
Mcphoua. at Panama, or what is perhaps more probablo,
and if SO a gi enter outrage, intending to send the troops
from Panama to San Francisco, in the equally old unsea
wortby steamer Republic or Isthmus, lying there,to bo used
only in cases of emergencies, such as the wreck Ac., of one
of the regular line Had this case stood alone 1 would feel
that 1 was unjustified in resorting to such an extreme
course, but the army has so long borne this rcck'es* tarn
pering with their rights that further forbearance ceases to
be a virtue. I was once sent toy self with troops across the
stormy Gulf of Mexico in a small frail Mississippi river
steamer, and a fresh water captain commanding her, who
wras so ignorant of navigation that he did not know how to
make the correction for the variation of tho compass, and
was actually steering sixteen degrees out of the way,in con
ceqmnceof making i ho correction the wrong side. Look,
again, at the Snu Francisco, and the outragoous manner in
which that portion of the regiment which w ent to Liverpool
was treated by tbe govermnont officials there; and look
again at a more recent case.?See Cant. Lovell's letter.
Under these circumstances 1 felt it a sacred duty wjiich
I owed the service, to pursue the course which I have
adopted
And I have the honor to apply for a Court of Inquiry to
investigate all the circumstances attending these transac
tions. for. I am sure, when the whole truth is known, the
mind of the army w ill approve the course which I have taken,
though at first glance it may seem unmil'tury.

Major?Your note of yeaterdav'a date is received, and in
answer thereto 1 would state that I did conduct a detach
ment of recruita for the Second Artillery, (190 in number.)
frcm New Orleans to Tampa Bay, Florida, by water, in tho
latter part of March. These troops were traunportuu in the
United State* hteamer Fashion. Captain Bakflf, a vessel
built nearly twelve years sinco. and not intended originally
ns a seagoing ship. She was bought by the government,
patched up and strengthened, and us< d &s a transport
vessel during the Mexican war. She was offered for sa'o
_"nTt(
when the United States steamers were sold at New Orleans,
but could not find a purchaser, and was, therefore, ro
applicd to government use ller engine, a sliding be im,
has been in her siDce 1842. She haa but little power, cannot
contend with n fresh head wind and heavy sr?, and is con
sidered, even by her own commander, bo unsafe that he
feels unw illing t# ftriko across the gulf, but crawls along
the land, so as to save all he can by bcachiug her in a heavy
gale.
The onlv reliance cf those who sa{l in her, is upon the
forbearance of Providence and the proximity of the land.
I doubt not but that you w ill agree with mo in saving, that
thia is a most disgraceful tampering w th human fife on the
part of the government of the second maritime nation in the
world with thirty millions surplus in her treasury.
My own opinion is that the Fashion would not live at sea in
a moderately severe gale, nor do I think that hor commander
would dare to put to'sea in her in tho face of such. If the
use of h(r is continued, it is done at the risk of disaster and
lose of life. At least, that is my opinion and firm belief.

CROSS-EXAMINATION.
The cross examination win conducted by the counsel
for Major Wyse; but, In accordance with the rules of the
court, the questions were asked by the Judge Advocate.
The following is the testimony elicited:?
Question?In answer to my question in your ofHce,
when conversing with you socially, on tho 6th April,
1664, if I would be in command of the four compa
nies, dij yon not say you thought I would, but did not
know evnc'lv the state of Col. Hurke's health, and ask
me if I had not seen liim lately? Answer?It is very pro
bable that I asked him if he had seen Colonel Burke
lately, but I bad no doubt in my own mind that he
would have the command, as senior ofticor; I told him
so distinctly, and I told him I would address him a letter
on the subject; then followed the conversation given in
my evidence in chief.
Q. Although you knew at that time that Colonel Burke
was on the sick rejort, and I the senior officer, yet did
you know pMftltlff that Colonel Bulk* would bo on the
"sick report when bis command should move on the 20th
of Apiil? Bid you know that Colonel Burke was in the
habit of visiting the city about lhat time? A. No; I did
not know that he would be on the lick report on the 20th,
nor did I know Colonel Burke visited tho city: I had not
seen him since the accident on the San Franclseo, and 1
suppo ed he was at Fort Wood.
y. Then as the orders from Washington, said the senior
officer present for duty should conduct the detachment,
Ac., on the 20th, how could you go In-hind this, and tell
Major Wyse that lie woul l he that senior officer, you well
knew that Col. Iiurke was then present with his company
at Fort Wood ?
A. Cil ltuikewns not on duty with his company, he
was sick.
Q. What were your means of information In relation to
Col Hurke's health, and had you any peisonal knowledge
on the subject?
A. 1 hud no personal knowledge on the subject, thespe
ciul reports received nt the office reported him sick, and
I had conversed with Surgeon Putterhc about his injuries;
Br PatteTlee ws< with Colonel Burke on the San Fran
Cisco.
Q What time of tlie diy did this conversation take
plsce in your office with Major Wyse?
A. It was late in the day, of the official day; I suppose
the qieslien to refer to the conversation of the 6th of
April; the general hild left the office; 1 sent the note
round to him.
Q. Po you remember who carried that note ?
A. My opinion is it was tho messenger, Walters.
Q Was this announcement which you say you made to
me. that I would he the senior officer on the 20th April,
made officially, or was it ordinary conversation ?
A. I regard it as made officially; I regarded hi* visit to
mv office as official, and the conversation there as of
ficial.
Q. W hen did Col. Burke obtain his leave, and what >U
the 1< ngth of that leave of absence?
A. I don't recollect the date, nor the length of it; It
was after the conversation with Major Wyse.
Q. Bo yon feel confident that you said anything to me
shout Kenlcls, Ac., in the Astor Rouse, on tlie 18In April,
1664?
A. I do not think I ssid anything about Benicia; I
asked him if he knew what to do in crossing the
isthmus and at San Plego.
Q. The question meant to refer to San Diego.
A. I am couMent about those two points, that I asked
If Llent. Loesrr had the instructions In regard to them;
the isthmus and San Diego
Q. At the time of yonr conversation with lfajor Wyse
at your office, did too know that Col. Burke would not
take command of the troops wkiah wen to leave on tho
actfc <rt April?
A. 1 was p^fectly certain of St; never thought other
wise at any time.
Q. Why a ere you certain?
A. I knew his l>eing on the sick report, and since my
conversation with l>r. Satterice, in regard to his in
juries
Q How often do you receive official re ports of the
health of the officers at Fort Woodr
A. The return is made at the end of every month.
Q Was your conclusion on the aubject of Col. Burke's
health a mere matter of private judgment on your part,
or were you officially required to consider him in such a
Ftate of health as positively to preclude his taking com
mand on the 20th April?
A. 1 did not consider it as a private judgment; my
opinion was founded on my conversation with Dr. Sat
teilce; I did not think that Col. Burke would for a long
time, if ever, go upon active duty, and from thia and bis
hi ing on the sick report tlien, I considered his taking
command of tlit- detachment quite outof the question; it
was my official duty to consider the state of his health
as precluding . im from taking the command.
Q Had you instructions to notify Maj. Wyse that Col,
Burke could not go, and that he would have command of
the di tnchment?
A. 1 find not; I regarded Major Wyse as the senior offi
cer on duty, and on whom the command of the detach
ment from the issue of the original order would fall.
The testimony of the witness being read over to him
and found correctly recorded, sitness retired.
Lieut Col. llios. Swords, Quartermaster, U. S. A., a
witness lor the prosecution, being duly sworn, testitied
as follows:?
Q. Do you recollect going to the office of the Assistant
Adjutant Cenernl in regard to the objection of the com
mander of the detachment for transportation to Cali
fornia?
A. I went to the office to make inquiries on the subject
of providing transportation; I had received no requisition
from the commander of the detachment.
Q. When was that?
A. It was on the lltli of April.
Q. Did you state to Col. Thomas the fact that the re
quisition had not been made on you?
A. I did.
Q. When did you receive the requisition?
A. On the 13th of April, from Major Wyse.
Here the cross-examination was closed, and the Court
adjourned till nine o'clock this morning.
TheOndstlen Trent J-?Defter from Mr. Benton.
Washington, May 2, 1854.
To Tti* Fditobs ofthk Evening Post:?
Gknti?i?.\?Your paper notices a report that Mr. Ben
ton intends to oppose the appropriation for the Gadsden
treaty, (as it is still called,) when it conies to the House
for an appropriation. The report is pretty well founded,
but 1 would not be willing to have it believed that this
opposition to a treaty on account of Invading the privi
leges of the House, is any new idea with me. or new to
tl.e history of our government. It is as old as the con
stitution, and lias been several times discussed in Con
gress, and was even spoken upon by myself twenty six
year* ago, as may be seen in chapter 3d of the "Thirty
Years'View," when opposing in tho Senate an Indian
treaty to alter tho boundaries of Arkansas, as established
bv law. and give organised territory to the Cherokees,
which had be. n settled under the laws of the United
States. The question is also mentioned, as one of those
which waB to occupy public attention, in the "Preliminary
View" to the Thirty Years, and as a question yet to be
settled, and some opinions were given about it; and that
was written be fore the Gadsden treaty had been heard
of. The idea, then, of opposing the appropriation to
carry into etlect certain classes of treaties, (those which
iniade tire privileges of the House of Representatives,) Is
an old one in our government, and also old With mo, and
has been aveideil in some instances by getting tho pre
vious consent of the House of Representatives, as in the
Louisiana, and Florida, und California acquisitions. The
other class of objections applying to the treaty itself, (to
its mode of negotiation, its objects, its value, anil its
rati Heat ion.) aic incidental to the main one, and fall ful
ly, in my opinion within the jurisdiction of the House
before it becomes the instrument of passing away the
people's money; and especially after it lias got hold of
the treaty on a question of the breach of its privileges.
In one point your editorial went a little too far, in sup
posing that I bad particular information in relation to
undue means in procuring the ratification of the treaty.
On that point 1 pretend nothing more than what may
have been heard end observed by others; and that has
been enough, in my opinion, to require an investigation,
that things may be cleared up one way or the other. Our
government, in all its branches, should be like CcBsar's
wife?not odK- chaste, but unsuspected.
Yours respectfully, THOMAS H. BENTON.

[From the National Intelligencer.]
Extracts from a letter of nn officer on board Com.
Ferry's fin? ship to his friend in Washington, dated Napa
Keen?, Great Loo Choo, Feb. 3, 1854 :?
We left Hon? Kon? on the 14th nit., in company with
tlic Fowliatnn, Mississippi, Southampton, and Lexington:
the Macedonian, Vnndalia, and Supply having preceded
ns. (Jn arrival here we found tliem all safe. Wo were
shortly after joined by the Southampton and Lexington,
they having been towed most of the way. These three
stoveslilps brought each about four hundred tons of coal,
with supplies nnd provisions and stores, so that we now
have six months' supplieffwith us, which will enable us
to remain long enough on the coast of Japan to give a
fair test to the experiment we have undertaken of bring
ing the authorities of that country into some sort of in
tercourse'with us.
With the people of this island we are getting along
swimmingly; every day brings about some new conces
, sion from them, which, six months ago, would not have
i been thought of.
To-day we visited the Regent at the royal palaco in the
city of t-hui, about three miles from Napa, accompanied
by an escort of two companies of marines, three bands,
and ulout forty officers, as by this sort of show the peo
ple of these countries are more readily influenced. We
first visited the Regent at the palace, and from thence
went to the City Hall, where a grand entertainment was
served to the whole pnrty. On leaving, the Commodore
invited the Regent and authorities to an entertainment
on loard the ting-sl ip, to come ofT on our return from
Japan. They have already dined witli liim, hut we intend
on returning to give them a sort of dramatic show to be
gotten np by ti e crew.
You cannot, or rsther it would be difficult for yon, to
imagine tbc beauties of this island, with respect to the
cl.aiming scenery and its marvellous perfection of culti
vation; its ancient bridges, paved roads, canals, dilapi
dated works of defence, Ac. There are flvo palaces In the
city; the one we visited is of very great extent, probably
covering a space of tlireo acres, with massive walls quite
equal to many of the old castles of Euro;*.
Hie island contains a population of oiie hundred and
fifty or two hundred thousand souls, and We have as
much control of it nnd the authorities and people as if it
were a conquered country; and, what is singular, not an
unfriendly act or nn instance of coercion has occurred in
bringing these things about. We have explored the
whole Interior of the island nnd surveyed the entire
coast. The people, wherever our parties go, nttend upon
them and supply them with lodgings nnd provisions.
At first tliey would receivj no compensation, but the
Commodore insisted that nothing should he accepted
unless it was paid for, and there is now little difficulty
in that way.
You arc aware that it is an Eastern practice to ex
change presents < n all occasions of public visits. These
must be given nn 1 rcceiv ed or tliere can be no intercourse,
or rather no interchange of visits. Consequently the
Commodore sent Lis presents a day or two ago, and to
day every < flicer received a trifling present from the Re
gent, which had to be received or the w hole harmony of
the visit would have been destroyed. These presents
from the Lew Chewans aie of small value, such as fans,
tohacco pl;es, Ac. Our presents to them have been
more substantial, the State I'epartment having provided
very liberally In this respect.
ifitherto our whaling ships have never dared to enter
the ports of this island; now they can do so with perfect
safely, snd l>c furnished with sunplics.at fair prices.
As an evidence of the confluence we have in their
peaceful intentions we shall leave a party on the island
in charge of a depot of coal, established here tills very
day. The Regent lias promised to take good care of them
during our absence.
The Island has teen ruled over for nearly a thnuaind
years by a line of kings. The present heir to the throne
being a minor, (thirteen years old,) the kingdom Is gov
erned by a Regent, who lias to assist him three counsel
lors. It is a dependency of Japan, and sends annually to I
thnt empire a large amount in taxes.
We sail In three days for Jeddd Ray, the Macedonian,
Yandalia, Southampton nnd Lexington having already
gone. The Supply has just discharged her coal Into the
thrre steamers, nnd will nail in a dsv or two for Shanghai"
for another enrgo. to join us nt Jeddo. We could not
have managed at til without the assistance of the store
ships . not a vawcl could be chartered in China for trans
porting coal, and our whole cruise this spring would have
been defeated had it not been for their services.
The Cnnal In Order.
[From the Alt nny Journal, May 2.]
We lcamfrom Commissioner Gardiner that the Eastern
division of the Canal is now In good order for boats,
with the exccpttao of a small space mar Rome, and the
work on thnt, It Is Loped and anticipated, will lie finished
to-night.
We have a despatch from Mr. Fitshugh, commissioner
en the middle divbdon, dated at Syracuse this morning,
which Informs us tliat nothing serious had resulted from
the storm on thnt division; and that tho long level would
be tilled as soon as they were ready for tlio water at .
Rome.
As we hear nothing bad from the West, we may now 1
say, ns the storm has entirely dispersed, and the flooded
streams are fast subsiding, that boats which left here this
morning, will find it clear Failing; for before they can
reach Rome, the only point of obstrnction, the difficulty
will le removed.
p. p._A despatch from Joseph Cochrane, collector of
tolls at Rochester, Informs u< that the canal was filling
rapidly this morning, and that light boats were being
cleared. Also that the Genesee Valley ranal is full.
