1.. By direction of the President of the United States, the sentence 
published against Sergeant Charles Braffit, 5th Ohio Cavalry, in Gen- 
eral Orders, No 76, dated August 20,1862, from Headquarters, District 
of West Tennessee, is commuted from death by being shot, to imprison- 
ment for three months from this day. 
11.. 1. having been shown by satisfactory evidence that Major 
Nathan Earlywine, 4th Indiana Volunteer Cavalry, was guilty of con- 
verting to his own private use two mules belonging to the United States, 
the President directs that he shall be, and he is hereby, dismissed the 
service. 
111.. The record of proceedings of a Military Commission, convened 
by Orders, No. 55 and No. 65, of 1862, from Headquarters, Camp Ke- 
lease, opposite the mouth of Chippewa Kiver, before which Toon-wan- 
wa-kin-ya-a cliatka, a Sioux Indian, was tried, and sentenced to be 
hanged, for participation in the commission of murders, robberies, and 
outrages, has been submitted to the President of the United States. 
The record is too imperfect to justify the execution of the sentence, 
and the President accordingly disapproves it.

demnation at Mankato, Minnesota, for alleged complicity with the late 
Indian outrages in that State, is pardoned by the President of the Uni-

and that he was not engaged in the massacre of women and children.

mander until the pleasure of the President can be made known, is 
approved by the President, and will be carried into execution.
