He was honorably acquitted, the parties to the transaction expressing their regrets that it had occurred.
The fact that Dr. T. is a brother- in-law of a party hostile to our cause, is no cause for suspicion against him. He came four thousand miles to join in our struggle for independence, and proceeds this morning as a volunteer surgeon to aid the wounded at Manassas.
