The Daily Dispatch: January 9, 1863., [Electronic resource], Resignation of an army officer — he is Court Martialed. (search)
Resignation of an army officer — he is Court Martialed. --A correspondent, writing from Gen. Burnside's army, says: The first and only drum-head Court Martial that was ever heard of during our connection with the army came off this afternoon, the party arraigned being one Lieut. Jacob A. Covington, of company I, 40th New York regiment. His crime being no other than that of treason, in sending in his resignation, in which he states "that lately his sentiments have undergone a radical change, his feelings having changed towards the South, and that he no longer wants to be an enemy of theirs." His division commander, Gen. Birney, ordered his immediate arrest, placed him in close confinement, and ordered a drum head Court-Martial to at once assemble and try him. What the sentence is we do not know, as before being made known it must be approved of by his corps and grand division commander.
