There is one other point in the proceedings of the Court (touching thcii legality) to which I invite the particular attention of your Excellency. It reaped a matter as to which all Southern men are deeply sensitive: and, if not overruled by your Excellency, will assuredly drive many valuable tr.en urm the Navy. In the pro gress of, the proceedings of this Court, two negroes, one the cook, the other the frivste steward of Commander Levy, were introduced as witnesses against me, protasted againat their legal competency to he witnesses In the Territory of Flori da, on the ground that they were negroes. The Court disregarded my exception, and as the record shows, they wero' allowed to be examined and to testify on my trial. This I charge a a proceeding illegal and erroneous on the part of the Court and, if so, according to established law and precedent, must vitiate and set aside their whole proceedings.
