Q. Did Major Wyse give yon an order on or about the
14th of April, 1854, in reference to preparing the men
for the march across the lsthmm. Ac.? and did not that
order embody the substance of this le.ter pf the 10th of
April, 1864, except the first and last paragraphs? A.
Yes; It was a written order; I have not got it, and am
not able to produce it.
Major Wyse stated to the Court that he had not a copv,
when the Court allowed the witness to state the sub
stance ol the order received by him from Major Wyse, i
and which was as follows:?
One part of the order directed the detachment to be
drilled here nt this post in full marching order; another ]
part directed each company of the four composing the
command, that is to say, the two here, and the two at
Bedloe's Island,to be divided into four squads, according to
tho regulations, and a list of the squads to be furnished to
Major B|| se,another part directed all clothing not wanted
on thn v oyage to California, t jbe tu> ro dinto the quarter
master's department; another part directed all men hav -
ing leas than six month < to serve, to be transferred to
the general service; that is the whole of the order, as
siear as I er.n recollect; this was about the 14th; i; was
foaror live days befoie we -ulied; toe date of the order,
1 think, was the day some troop, were paid off here: I
think Friday, the Mth, the day after Major Wyse re
turned from leave of ajsetiee.
Q. Ilid that order not also state that the-;1 preparations
were mu '.e with reference to the march across the Isth
mus. Ac.f A. Not that I remember; 1 e.m not positive;

A. By Major Wyse; I would like to correct what I said
about the time of tuy r.vnvcr.aUon with Mr. Van Voast
about the orders for the movement whl -h were on Major
Wyse's company book, I think Mr. Van Yoast told tnc
this ou the Falcon, before .he lell the wharf.

the time expired, the Court proceeded with the case.]

Iient Ivoerer, called for the defence, was examined by
Major Wysc ns follows:?
Question?IHd you inspect the stnamor I'aleon while
lying at the fool of Warren street, before gcin,?- to sea la
Iter with the detachment e, moo.-e.l of comp suies D, (J,
R and If Answer?1 did, under an order Irom Major
Wyse.
Q. Was she in a fit state to Like those troop* to Aspln
w?ll in ? A. Not in my opinion, without bring first
proved by a trial trip; 1 thought that necessary.
Q. Describe her condition in all respects. ' A. There
were several engineers there- tlioy said she h id under
gone repairs; of course I could see no evidence of it, but
from that fact, or their statement of it, I thought she
ought to hare a trial trip; her engine appeared nnstynn-i
?dirty, and the appeared dirty throughout the wliol - ship;
her general apt carnue- was bad; the pnint on many parts
of her wan still green and i cry otfeu.sive, and you coul 1
not touch the fresh paint without get-.in ? it on you: the
engineer, or the jeiaon who sceme-i to be tiie engineer in
charge of the engine, appealed unable ti answer quel
tions and give iiiYorn.ation shout the machinery, from t ne
fact that lie he I not been, or said that he ha i not been,
on the boat before.
Q. You hate state 1 that you examined the falcon.
What la your conclusion as to her being seaworthy at
ti e time of the examination. A. My ( pinion is that
she was not seaworthy without a full trial; I
mean that I thought she was not seaworthy; and I would
not hare been satisfied of the contrary without a full
trial of her at sea, showing that she was.
Q. Describe the conduct of the stestrer art->r yon
nailed until she put Into Norfolk. A. After wo left New
York abc went along very slowly until soma time in the
first night, when she was stopped tor some repairs,
the next day her trim was changed; it was thought she
Was too much by the head, but she was no better for the
change; during the day 1 examined her working and she
was hardly able to work her engine with all the steam
she eouhl get on. at least so the engineer sui t; she
went along very slowly until eight o'clock on l'riday
morning'. wLen the engiue was again stopped for three or
four hour* for repairs, nfter which she <lid ne better,
and the Captain c -Deluded to make for the nearest port
of the I'nited States, seeing that we could not get along;
?re anchored in Hampton Roads Sun-lay morning, the
Vlid; we left the j-ort Tue.Jav the 18th.
Q. What weather had you from here to Norfolk? A Wo
had good weather all the" time; one day after we turtle!
for port we had a stiff brcera. but It was from behind
end helped us along we could not have g-jRe at ail
against that wind.
Q What was the speed of the vea?el from day to day
till you reached Nortetk? A. I did not keep n record,
but the last twenty four hours before we - hirig-'d her
course for Norfolk we mole sixty miles; the nevt day
after we turned with a fair atari, all a.ils set. a smooth
sew, and the engine at her uttennost speed, w? made 101
miles in twenty four hours.
Q. Did you call a board of oSi -era at sea. nrvl what was
their report? A. 1 called a board, here ia a true copy of
their report.
This report wea read, as follows-?

the defence, and testified as follow*:?
Q. Look upon the report end say if you signed It, and
if the facts therein stated are true, according to the best

the* facts stated in it are correct.
The same question as that put to Lt. C. 8. Winder was
put to Assistant Surgeon llobt. Murray, U. S. A., who
answered as folows:?"I did. Th? facts ure true to the
best of my knowledge and belief."
Major Wyse requeued the Court toajourn, as he wish
ed to procure evidence from the city, by the testimony
of citin ns, m h< m he could not keep in attendance on the
Court. The evidence requited he said, was to the follow
ing points:?
POINTS FOR TI1E DEFENCE.
1. We proj oae to show that the reputation of the
steamer Falcon, aa a seaworthy ve^el at the time Major
Wyse was ordered to lead his troops on board of her,
wh* bad among nautical men, and such as justly to
awnken apprehensions on the part of Major Wyse for the
safety of his command, should they go to sea in her.
2. Wc propose to show tlint the Falcon was built in
"lfc-ib, ami her 1 oilers in October, 1H50, and that she stood
a* a second and third rate vessel on the records of the
insurance companies in New York, and that such was
bar character, as given in all the official surveys made of
her
3. We propose to show, by an official survey of the
Falcon just made by the Wardens of the port of New
York,that she is badly strained in her timbers and knees,
and that her joint construction Is such n* to cause her
to labor and roll badly at sea, and to expose her deck
pa#** niters to great danger in a storm.
4. We propose to show that the engine of the Falcon
at the time she sailed, was in such a defective state as
inevitably to render it nearly powerless.
6. We proj one to show that in the opinion of engi
neers and nautical men, Major Wyse wna entirely correct
in the opinion that the Falcon should have ma lc a trial
tilp befon proceeding to sea with passengers; as a pre
cautionary measure ordinary prudence required such a
trip
ti. We propose to show that the general equipments
and condition of the Falcon were not such as to afford
tl:< offb or and soldiers proper accommodations ou the
voyage to A spin wall
7 We proj use to show that the event has proved that
tbjp opluicu oi Major Wyse in regard to this steamer was
correct.
8. We propose to show that the military character of
Major Wyse is such as to afford strong presumptive evi
dence against the truth of the second charge.
The Court, iu accordance with the request of the
Major, decided on adjourning, but before doing so Col.
Ftcptoe was examined for the defence.
TESTIMONY OF COL. 8TKPTOE.
Q. IIow long have you been acquainted with Major
W\s? as un officer in the army, and what is his charac
ter for tflicei like and gentlemanly conduct? A. I have
been acquainted with Major Wyse us un officer of the
army sit.ee 1837; his character n? an officer and a gentle
man I have always esteemed \?ry high.
Here t tie Court adjourned til ten o'clock this morning.
MORE EVIDENCE FOR THE DEFENCE.
The following Jotters, written by Lieut. Looser while on
board the Falcon at sea, will be produced in evidence to
day. U will l?e seen that they corroborate Iris testimony:
Stkamer Falcon, at Sxa, April 22. ISM >
I at. 36 ii8. Lou. 7t 39 J
$ir?for the information of the W?r Department, I havo
the honor to forv ero the folio wing report: ?
A couple of minutes before leaving Fort Columbus, with
my c? mpany. to proceed to this boat, then at Now York
city, Major"Wyse relinquished hia command of th# four
companies of the 3d Artillery, under orders to California
via Panama to myself
Accordingly. ?.t about 2 o'clock P. M on tko 18th Inst., I
left, iu pcrsuiiuce of former orders, with my command. In
thi* shin 'I he steamer proceeded slowly t? sea, the engines
continuing to work until seme rime in tko night, when it
became Lecercvry to step them for repairs: this occupied
some thirty rnirrtei wkon it was a*siu set in motion, and
continued to work very slowly until Friday, the 2Dt, when
it we? again stopped from about 3 to 11 A. M. for repairs; for
the T rcvious two days it worked very slowly, at times being
bare a able to turn tho crank For the twenty-four houra
pr? xious to 12 M. on Friday th* boat ran but sixty miles,
v ith all ti tngs favorable and it was very evident t ? all that
to r>?ach our destination would require n most unwarrant
able period of tin , if at all, ns, after nil the rei aidn^. tho
inp ?till ? cutinued to make less speed
Whilst th
. tho engine was bein ? repaired I conversed with
! her captain as to the defects in the engine and the
t course he thought it best to pursue and ad vis
j inc to that effect. I called a board of all the
| officers of the command, iu uq order which I havo
the honor to enclose, marked A 1. From the statcnios ti of
j the chief engineer it bee .rrc evident that tho b^at \m ut
ter'y unfit to continue her voyage; and to do so was to
greatly endanger tho safety of us command. As nstit

a mill'arv despotism Don Domingo Ellas, who with Oen.
Caitilla. it the leading spirit of the revolutionists, was
formerly Governor of the Chlncha Islands, under the
)iresi nt administration. He was recalled, being charged
wi h embezzlement of public money, and severely repri
manded and degraded, exasperated "by which he retorted
uj on the government by exposing some of Its own dis
honest proceedings. As the eyes of the poople were be
ginning to be opened to the fact that they never recei ved
nny benefit from the immense guano trai e at the Chln
ghas and various other sources of revenue, the state
ments of F.liss vvero easily accredited, and the adminis
tration, catching the alarm, oonalrued his charges into
treason and imprisoned him. He made his escape and I
went by land to Turobcz with a few of hi* partizaus, and ;
being closely pursued by a body of government troops,
took rotuge in the house of Dr. Oak ford, United ,
Fifties Consul at Tumbcz, representing himself nn<l ?
followers to be Innocent men, pursued by a band of j
law less marauders. The troops arrived and tired into '
the bouse while the United States (lag was flying, kill- |
ing two of flag's men. The remainder, with their leader,
nu.de their escape. The consul deemed this an in.ult to
our flag, and has applied to this government tor redress,
thiough his Excellency J. ltandolph Clay, U. S. Minister
In Fern. This demand has been denied, and the alfair
referred to our homo government. The Americin citi

masters at the (hinci.a Islands, so long since, should
icn-sin unsettled. The l'erurian government pretend t >
be constantly receiving despatches from their repre.sen
tative at Washington, saying that both theseatfairs are
being amicably settled; but, strange to say, no dos
I ati lies or communications of any kind In regard to the
matter have been received by our minister. Tho Ameri

! veteran and a great favorite with the people, to his
cause. They raised an insurgent force, but, owing to
...their want of money, were unable to arm the numbers
which flocked to their standard, and have to depend in a
great measure upon tlie slo v but sure method of gaining j
oier the | eople l>y spreading the seeds of discontent and

Tlie provinces of Arequipa, Puno, Moquegna sndTacna

and since have been transferred on board the British

lust news from the rebel* was that an action took place
] on the 4th of March at Cajaraarca, between a body of 000
government troops and 1,600 rebels, only 600 of whom
were mined, and they very poorly. The latter ate said
to have been totally touted, with * loss of thirty killed,

Peru is literally sulTering under war, pestilence and
ramine. The Monteneros, or black robbers of the moun
tains, have giown so strong and bold since the breaking
out of the civil war, that they make descents upon whole
towns along the roast. It is unsafe even to make * short
excursion ir.to the country without being well armed,
and instances of highway robbery under the very walls
of l ima are of every day occurrence.

Our Emigrant Societies.
TBI 0BBMAN8. "*
Tie German Society of the city of New York *ai
organized in the year 1784, to assist German emigrants,
and to afford lellef to distressed Germans and their
descendants. It was incorporated by the Legislature on
tl e Oth of April, 1804.
This society now numbers about six hundred members,
who elect erery year, &I ?*?!?* **7 of February, a
Board of thirteen directora. who choosd from among
ileinaCjves a President, two Vice Presidents, a Treasurer,
and two Secretaries. Among the above members this
society has the advantage to possess thirty-two of the
most etniuent German physicians, who render at all
times their most valuable gratuitous services to any ap
plicants recommended by the inspectors. In order to
visit and administer to the wants of the sick and needy
In a most spvedy and circumspect manner, the society
has divided New York city, Brooklyn and Williamsburg
into twenty districts, and in each of these one of the
members performs the very laborious task of a visiter or
inspector. An arrangement has been entered into with
fourteen well known German druggist*, by which all
medicines ure charged to the society at one-half their
regular prices, thereby promoting considerably its chari
table work.
The yearly income is by Interest on funded capital..$1,450
Yearly contributions received from members 5,000
'J he annual relief granted for the past year* has been
about as follows:?
Ions lions for temporary aid to about.... 6,500 persons.
Visits made by the physicians " .... 7,500 "
Medicines administered " .... 6.600 "
1'larcs of employment procured for about. 10.000 "
The emigration from Gertnany into the port of Now
York has been, during the last tlvo years, as follows:?

1860 46,768 1863 110,498
1851 70,540
^ This philanthropic society makes it its duty?
1. To give the emigrant useful advice before he leaves
his fatherland, by monthly and yearly reports, published
in the principal American and European German news
papers.
k. To protect him, as far aa in Its power lies, against
fraud and imposition on his journey hither.
3. To afl'ord him on his arrival hern all necessary in
formation, aid him in the pursuits of his journey, obtain
emj loymeot, and in case of sickness or destitution give
him immediate assistance.
4. To extend tcmporury relief to the resident needy
Germans or their descendants, and obtain for them from
the government institutions such aid as they mry bo
entitled to.
6. To p<rocure at all tiroes employment for the indus
trious, and extend medical aid and assistance to the sick.
Ti e society, further, is the safest channel through which
Germans in ti.e United States chii communicate with
their relations in Kuro|>e. in case they have no trusty
friend in an Atlantic seaport.
As the English language is foreign to the majority of
the German emigrants, and three-quarters of the entire
German emigration cornea to this port, it is very evident
that this society is n necessity, and of the greatest im
portance, and every German in the Union, whose means
will allow it, should be proud to be one of its members.

Dritrnctlvc Fire In IjOfWport, If. Y.
[From the Lockport Courier, May 1.]
On Paturduy night laet another largo tire occarro>J on
[ Yn'n etnct, destroying the long row of wooden stofe.
I between Rnnroro'.- bloc* and the buck building occupied
! by S. Trurlc as a meat market, and several dwelling
! houses in the rear on Centre alley. The tire broke out
? about 11 o'cl< ck. In th" store occupied by J. Cothran, ad.
joining Ransom's block, and the building being old an 1
I ? f w< od, it spread with great rapidity. Had it not been
for the damp state of the weather, it is probablo that the
l.re would have cxtl nrted still further. A^ it V?>h it war
with the greatest difficulty that it could bo c muned to
the point where its progress was stayed. The following
summary of the losses we presume are nearly correct:?
The store in which the tiro caught, and the two next
t djuintug on ihe west, together with the gothie dwelling
In use on the alley, were owned by J. 1C. (iridl-y, upon
sb rh there raa no Insurance. The buildings ware not
of much valve, still tbey probably paid a good interest on
fri m SS.OCO to $10,(k'b. Thollr-t of these stares, whero
the lite lirst broke out, was occupied by J. Cothran as a
grocery, and bis entire stock was destroyed. He was in
sured for $2,004. which probably eoTtrs loss. The next
?tore was occupied by John Humphrey, as a harness and
trunk shop. >1 stock was largo and valuable, and was
much damaged by Are and removal. tVe understand he
li insured for $7l)i>, which will not cover loss. Tho third
and k-.st of the (iridlcy .-tor. s was occupied by T. W.
Webber, grocer His stock was nearly all removed, and
an insurance of $400 which he has upon it will covor his
toss.
The next two stores and * dwelling in the rear of them
en the alley, wete owned by John Alexander. On these
buildings he had an insurance of $1,000, which probably
covers loss. The firat of those stores was occupied by Dr.
r. Cadwallmler, as a drug store. His stock was mostly
reroovid. but in a damaged condition. He had an insur
ance of $80i?. which doubtless rover- the lois. Tiro next
store was occupied by E. Johnson, as a grocery and pro
vision store. His stock was also removed, but in a bad
condition. He was insur-d for $2,000.
The sixth and Inst of ihr stores that were burned, w is
owned and occupied by H. Onrran, grocer. His -tock
was mostly removed lie v-as iu-ured for $1.U')0 on
building, which ir.akes him whole. We have not learae l
whether he wn- Insured *n Mock or not.
The dwelling houses which were burned, were each oc
ci j.ied 1 y several families, whose goods were more or
lcs? injured by removr.l and tire. Samuel Trude. butch r,
sufli re 1 con.-iderable lose by the removal of his stock,
go al io did Alfred liav, dealer in Yankee notions. Thoy
were both insured. 1. F. Maseey, owner of tho green
store, so tiered lo-s by the removal of goods from the se
coud story, and by the tearing down of a wooden struc
ture in the rear of that building. He was insured.
Ransom's block was injured somewhat by the ftrc. as
xva- also the occupant of the first store in that block.
Thk Lops on this Lakes?The Chicago Tribune
estimates the loss by the Iste gale on Iaskc Miehigut as
follows:?The Olive Kiehmond, total loss, value! ut
$2,700. cargo, $2,o?Q, no insurance; tho Kocky Mountain,
total loss, valued at $2,000, insured fur $1,000, cargo
