THE WEEKLY STAB.
This week's issne may justly be re
garded as a 44 specimen number- ' It
contains a vast amount of highly im
portant Washington news, prepared with
the greatest care, and obtained as usual
from the moat reliable sources. Its mis
cellaneous columns contain intellectual
*od for all ages, both sexes, and every
rendition in life* All that we ask is,
take a copy of the Weekly Stab, and
Tead it carefully. The SI 25 per annum
subscription is sure to follow.

SPIRIT OF THE MOBRIKG TBESS. ' 1
The Intelligencer, replying to the I nion s
leader of yesterday, says:
"The election in Washington was not a!
party one. Had it been a contest between
Whigs and Democrat*, the L >.iuti knows thai
the Whig candidate would have received a I f
1 ?rger majority than was givrn to the succesa- I 8
ful candidate for Mayor on Monday last. Iu j
Philadelphia it was an avowed party contest,
aud our (notification at the triumph of the I t
"Whig candidate was not to be damped because I s
Lo received the mpport of the large body of
T'higs undar a fantastic name. Wc much
question whether the Union would not have
been very glad ol the support of the Know
JN'o'hiDgs. name and all."
The Union and 8'ntinel discusses Know
^Cothingism with great power and force.
We are necessarily compelled to
lay over much interesting matter to-day,
tc make room for the important "General
(Army) Orders." announcing the result
of the court of inquiry on the steamer San
Francisco disaster, and the more recent
court martial on Major Wyse. The reader
will perceive lrom them that much of the
public's previous impression, relative to
the actions of these courts, is erroneous.

The Termination of the Sesiion.?For the
nformatien of oar distant readers we hare
o say, that there is no probability that the
jresent session will terminate sooner than the
ore part of September next, to which sea**
he " long session'' is bow regularly protraet
kJ. The members far the most part prefer to
>e home in the fall rather than in the heat of
he summer, vhen the condition of the ther
nometer is likely to interfere materially with
he transaction of active business. This is the
ley to the indisposition of the House to adop"
he {Senate's proposition to begin the recess
>arlv in July. At the rate at which business
a transacted in these times, it will not long
icnoe come to pass that they will take no re
ess from the meeting of a new Congress to it
erminatioa. Indeed, it will be found that
such of the business before them will be dis
osed of in too great haste, or receive the " g'>
y" this summer, more especially if speeches
it Buncombe are to continue much loDger to
e the order of the day. The only possible
Ian on which to lay the foundation for the
usiness like transaction of the affairs of Con
Tesa, will be to adopt the English PaTlia
aent's custom of refusing to permit gentlemen
o occupy the time of Congress with set epeeah
s, who, after one or two trials, show that they
re not likely on taking the floor, to shed real
ight on the subject formally under considers
ion.
Mendacity.?We use a strong term; yet, by
o means too strong for the faets on whioh we
ropose to comment. All others except the
igrain abolitionists, have some resist for the
gure they cut before the eyes of the world,
hey, however, seem to take a pride in proving
y their acta that their professions, one and all,
re hollow?disingenuoitsness being stamped
n the brow of all they do, as it were. Theo
ore Parker and Wendell Phillips go to Faneuil
[all, and there incite ignorant fanatics and
icious lazzaroni to pass a resolution that they
'ill rescue the negro Burns, in doing which,
n hour afterwards, they murdered Batchelder,
nd endangered the lives and property of hun
redsof the peaceable and unoffending of their
ellow citizens. Next morning, the ground
well of public opinion, aroused by their pro
urement of the riot and murder, Beemed en
he point of threatening violence to their per
Dns and property. These "preachers of peace"
rho, on the day before, had invoked murder
ind rapine, instantly applied to the civil au
horitiee for protection. They piteously depre
cated the mob-law. when, apparently, about to
>e applied to them, which the moment before
boy invoked in aid of their warfare on so
li ety and iis laws. So, too, do they manifest
i like spirit of craven inconsistency here. For.
ierhape, twenty years past, onememberof the
louse of Representatives has been in the con
tant habit of losing no opportunity to insult
he House as a body, to set at defiance its rules
>f decorum, and to treat with personal inso
ence nearly all members who differed with
rim upon business before the body. Ilis bear
ng in the Hall bccame proverbial years nnd
pears ago. Having thus put himself oat of the
pale of Congressional courtesy and society, a?
.t were, his insults have been passed over, on
the ground that abuse from him was praise
For honest and patriotic public men. This im
munity from the personal responsibility to
which any other member so conducting him
self would surely have been held, has induced
lim to presume upon his licensa to malign.
Falsify, backbite, and abuse his fellow mem
bers, until as he (Mr. Giddings) remarked in
Lhe abolition meeting in Boston, recently, he
has found twenty years of such labors insuQi
cient to kick Southern members into consider-1
ing his personalities worthy of being resented.
He haa openly avowed his hostility to the
constitution, and proclaimed his williignees
tJ violate the laws which he ha? ?worn to re
spect and obey. His boast has been that he
and his are above and beyond all laws except
such aa are to their taste?such as t hat is
Hour after hour he has occupied the time
of the House in repeating over and over again
his plea for liberty for the Abolition press tu
utter not only treason, but blasphemy without
stint; denouncing every criticism es=a)ing to
point out the fact that the slanders, vituperu
tions, sweeping falsehoods and treasonable
spirited attacks on the constitution of the land,
of those newspapers, for an " infringement
of the liberty of tree discussion."
Wendell Phillips and Theodore Parker like,
the moment the Washington Union commer a
upon his oonduot as it deserved, he forgets l.i*
feigned love for free discussion, Ac , end ap
peals to the House for protection, as thou ;h
hiB conduct had been such as to give him. cf
all men, an immunity from criticism. "Wo
need hardly assure the di.tant reader tl.at
the mendacity of tHis appeal, under aueh cir
cumstances, has really astonished most of th :
members of both houses. As ac.'uaouied &?
they have been to the strange things he has
been so long doing in the Hall, they wero in t
prepared for any such total disregard of lb .
appearance of consistency ana integrity i f
purpose, as this appeal involves.
What we write above is, in truth, the key t ?
the rfcfural of two thirds of the members pri.
ent. on the day before yesterday, to extend tj
Mr. (biddings the usual courtesy of p;rmissioa
to reply to the excoriating personal rema; I s
made upon him and his course by his colleague.

tu substitute another officer of suitable rant

SENTENCE.
And the Court does sentence him, Brevet
M' jor Francis 0 Wyse, Captain 3d Artillery,
?? lo be dismissed the service."
II.? the foregoing proceedings of the Gen
eral Court Martial having been laid before the
President of the United States and by him
duly examined and considered, tho following
are his orders in the case :
War Department. June 3, 1854.
The President has approved and confirmed
the proceedings and sentence of the General
Court Martial in tho case of Brevet Maj ?r
Francis 0. Wyse, Captain of the 3d regiment
of artillery, whereby he ia sentenced to be
dismissed the s#rvico for a contumacious diso
bedience of orders But in consideration of
the unanimous recommendation to Executive
clemency of the officers composing tho court
martial. and of the reasons on which their re
commendation ia founded, the President is
pleasod to mitigate the sentence to suspension
from rank and c mmand. and pay, for the pe
riod f*( six calendar months.
Tbo Department regret* to find in these pro
ceedings reaaon to apprehend that due care and
judgment hare not in all cases been exercised
iu the selection of transports for troops, and in
this particular ease, it d><es not appear that the
board of officers appointed by the (leneral
commanding tho Army, to examine the steam
er, made tt>e thorough examination and inqui
ry, wbi h the ciicumstances and importance o*
the case surges ed and demanded.
Officers of the Quartermaster's Department
entrusted with tho selection of army transports
and military commanders charged with the(
embarkation of tr >op?, aro enjoined to use in
every case, all practicable means to secure1
ves els entiiely soa-wor;hy and proper for such
service. Extreme oatfos may occur for whica
it is not possible to provide. A public exi
gency may require the exposure ot troops to
the hazard of au unsafe transport, and tben;
the justiscation would re found in the neces
siiio-: of the occasion. But the public acrvice
requires from officers not only the exercise of
due care and diligence, but also of sufficient
skill and judgment to protect troops from an
at necessary exposure to such hazard, this
beiug correlative to the military obligation of
a subordinate to meet the danger, when or
dered to do so by compe'ent authority.
These observations, thoagb elici ed by the
developments in this case, ate not ioteaded to
justify or extenuate the conduct ot Major Wyse
in assuming to opposu his judgment to that <>1
his commander, an 1 to disobey a positive and
reiterated order by refusing to embark with
1 troops, tj the command of whom he had been
as-'igneJ, and whose fate it was his duty to
share.

III.?The sentence a .ardod Brevet Major

duly executed, and at the termination of the
period foi which he ii suspended, be w?ll pro
ce? d to join his company wherever it may then
be serving.
IV.? iho General Court Maitial, of which
Brevet Brigadier General lienry Stanton is
President, is dissolved
V.?The Court of Inquiry instituted by
" Special Orders" No. 17, of January 23, 1854,
from the War Department, whereof Major
tieneral Winfield Scott is President, and which
convened in tho Ci*v of New York on the 6;h
day of tcbrutry, 1854. "to examine into all
the circumstances attending the embarkation,
in Becouib<*r last, of the troops under the com
mand of Colonel William Gates. 31 artillery,
on board the oteamer San Francisco, destined
f >r California; ti:e cause of the failure of the
expedition, and of the disorganization of the
command at sea; aud all other facts and cir
cumstauces which may concern the conduct ol
the commander, and of tho officers and men
of the command," has submitted the follow
ing
report :
" The Court on a full review of all the evi
dence taken in the cases before it, isof opinion:
'? That the officers caarged with the selection
of a vessel for tho transportation of the United
States ::d regiment < f Artillery from the pori
of New York, to ports in California, had e\er>
ground of a reasonable assurance that tht
steamer San Francisco, selected by them, was
a good and sufficient transport for that purpose
*> 1 hut the embaikatiou of thu regiment oe
board tho same steamer was as orderly a*
practicable, considering the necessary inter'
mediate agency of a small steam-tug between
Governor's I.-Jand and the transport;
?? That the troops seem to have been reason
ably distributed, for quarters or lodging'.
amoDg the different parts of the transport, al
though, unler a combination of most unex
peeled even's, four officers aud about one hun
dred and seventy-five non-commissioned offi
cer.s and man from those assigned to the uppe;
deck, were washed overboard and lost at tht
time of the wreck ;
"That the failure of the expedition, o:
wreck of tho transport, when but a few day
a sea, was caused by a storm of extraordinary
violence, and tho breaking of tho piston-rot
of the air-pump (a new construction) at thi
height of tnat storm ;
" that, in respect to the disorganization o
>h* command at xra, the. e seems to have beei
uo insubordination or resistance of authorit;
even during the calamity that long threateno<
the 1 j?>s of every lifo on board the transport
although a great number of the men wer
green recruit*, and although four of the regi
mental officers had been swept into the sea
three others, at the ?atuo moment, wholly dit
abled by hurts, and two more on the sick-lie
?so that there remained but five cumpan
officer*, (part of the time only lour;) two i
the regimental stafi officers, (pirt of the lim
but one :) and one field officer for active duty
" That, of course, the command was farthe
disorganized by the transfers from the wrec
to tho three relieving vessels, and the partia
mixing of companies on board the latter, whic
mder the circumstance^ was almost unavoid
able;
" Uut the court with pain is obliged to add
that in its opinion there was, from the time t
tho wreck nmil the return into port, blame ibl
disorganisation at the head of thecotnuiand
not 'hj result of panic or pbjs cal incapacity
tor Colonel Gates, notwithstanding the loss c
an in-cfcsting sin. washed overbuard, seem
to have been cool and active on foot; but dii<
organisation resulting fromfatui y or crooked
ness of mind, which leaving him alive to h
own immediate wants and those of hi6 family
and to tho lirst accidental chance of escajn
caused htm to neglect nearly every high dut
imposed by his tank and tho circumstance
iU:h as the duty of going of en among hi
men, tu cheer and animate them; of organi;
ing and directing their labors in pumping
bailing, and lightening the wreck ; of orgai
iling all the company officers "fit for duty,
including tfte staff lieutenants, into rogula
reliefs, for those labors and other duties; (
regulating the transfer of persons and supplii
from the wreck to the bark Kilby, and of regi
lating the labors and issues of bread and wi
ter on board of that vessel?to which he wi
the first to haiten, instead of remaining i
the steamer to superintend tbo transfer
" The neglect of mo?t of these important ob
ligations on the part of the commander, threw
upm the junior officers, capable of physical
effort, aboard of each veisel that had Colonel
Gates as a passenger, the necessity of supply
ing hii deficiencies by ipiitsnwo! and extra
ordinary services, with more or Ie^s of volun
tary concert among themselves. Thai, on the
wreck, 2d Lieutenant# Charles 3. Winder, Van
Voaat, und Chandler particularly distinguished
themselves, and seem to harp earned a jnst
claim to special commendation; and Brevet
Major Wyse also rendered good services on the
wreck before and after the departure of the
Colonel. And so agtiin, in the Kilby, some of
the junior officers there with Colonel Gates
were obliged, under continued privation* and
sufferings. to take upon themselves many im
portant duties of command for the common
safety of all on board. In thie connection.
Captain Gardiner, of the 1st Dragoons, crip
pled wi>h the rheumatism, who embarked with
the 3d Artillery as a passenger for California,
and 2d Lieutenant Van Voast, seem entitled
to special notice.
'? The Court feels itself called upon to sposi
fy the act of Colonel Gates in taking, against
the admonition of the Surgeon, a case of
measles (in his family) on board the San Fran
cisco to the great danger of many men, women,
and children who were fellow passengers and
liable to receive an infection nearly as had at
sa t as the small-pox; and also to specify hiu
deolarafion made on board the Kilby, in re
spect to extra water, that he cared nothing for
his men (with an oath) and would rather
twenty of them should die than hiscbild should
suffer (or die) when there was no immediate
danger that any one on board would perish
from thirst.. The court regard the catiduct of
Colonel Gates, in these instances, as highly
selfish and censurable.
" A specific accusation having been submit
ted by Colonel Gates against Captain Gardi
ner, before mentioned, relative *o the purloin
ing of food ou board the bark Kilby. tue court
directed that the witnesses should be called,
a? the matter came under the orders of the
War Department instituting this court, and
Colonel Gates having farther oharged the same
officer with tampering wi h a witness sent tor
by the Colonel to support the previous accu
sation, which tampering, if true, would have
been a high aot of coQtempt towards tbiscourt.
and Captain Gardiner urging an investigation,
the Court directed Colonel Gates, as prosecu
tor, to adduce the evidence on which he had
made those grave allegations. Accordingly
witnesses have been called and examined, and
ihe Court is constrained to say that the said
allegations against Captain Gardiner were en
tirely groundless, and seem to have originated
in a spirit of gross malignity.

Commencement of Staff Appointment Pay.
In the settlement of accounts at the Treasury
Department, it is held that when a staff ap
pointment is conferred upon an officer in the
lino of the army, it is noteonsidere 1 a promo
tion, but an original appointment, and its pay
will commence m inc .her oases, from the date
the officer becomes subject to its duties and
responsibili'ies, by acceptance, either by let
ter or entering upon duty. Similar views are
