CINCINNATI, March 30, 1863.

Commission met pursuant to adjournment. The members present, General Wallace, General Dana, General Tyler; also the judge-advocate and General D. C. Buell.

General DANA. I move that the Rev. W. G. Brownlow be called before the Commission.

The JUDGE-ADVOCATE. With the exception of Colonel Fry, I decline calling any more witnesses before the Commission on behalf of the Government. Besides, if Mr. Brownlow's testimony comes into the case at all, it would be as rebuttal testimony and after the defense had completed its case.

The court was cleared for deliberation. On being reopened the judge-advocate announced that the motion to call Mr. Brownlow was lost.

General DANA. Has anything more been heard of Governor Johnson?

The JUDGE-ADVOCATE. No, sir.

After informal talk as to the time General buell would be ready with his documentary evidence --

General TYLER. As the Commission has determined not to call any more witnesses till General Buell is prepared with his documentary evidence, I move to adjourn till to-morrow, March 31, at 11 o'clock a. m.

Adjourned.

CINCINNATI, March 31, 1863.

Commission met pursuant to adjournment. The members present, General Wallace, General Dana, General Tyler; also the judge-advocate.

The JUDGE-ADVOCATE. Since the Commission adjourned I have learned that Mr. Brownlow is for the present residing in this city, and if he is called away he will give me such notice that he may be examined here or will give me his deposition.

There being no further business before the Commission, on motion it adjourned to meet on Wednesday, April 1, at 11 a. m.

CINCINNATI, April 1, 1863.

Commission met pursuant to adjournment. The members present, General Wallace, General Dana, General Tyler; also the judge-advocate and General Buell.

General BUELL. I propose to submit some documentary evidence. It is not all prepared. That which I have to present to the Commission I have arranged in different classes, according to its bearing upon the different questions that seemed to be before you. I propose that Major Wright shall read the copied that have been prepared and that Lieutenant Bush shall refer to the page where the dispatch is to be found and see that it has been correctly copied.

The Commission adjourned to meet April 2, at 11 o'clock a. m.

CINCINNATI, April 2, 1863.

Commission met pursuant to adjournment. Present, the President (General Wallace), General Dana, General Tyler; also the judge-advocate and General Buell.

The JUDGE-ADVOCATE. I propose to the Commission to agree to the documentary evidence that General Buell wishes to introduce in order to avoid the delay incidental to reading it before the court. That which was read yesterday, and which occupied the court till 2 o'clock, is, I am informed, about one-sixth of the whole. It therefore strikes me that
