I, raced in three tpparalc cswa of ^ ifl»0t*difuce (if orders— one on ibe Mil . of August and two on tbe 29tb of August — and in baring letrratnd unnecessarily from tbe enemy, by that set endangering other portions of the army with which Ire was co-operating. It will be teen that, | though these offencei were alleged to have been committed in August of 1802, be 1 was continued in tbe command of an army until some lime In November foltaking an active part in the battles , of the day following tbe date of tbe last cl isrgc, and in ooaunand of tbe defences of Washington on tbe rat bank of tbe ' Potomac, and also at the battle of Antic- ! lam, some weeks liter. It would look ml first very singular that an officer so wantonly derelict in the performance of bis ' as (re octal Porter was alleged to have been no the 2TUi aQjf 28lk of A ugust.sbou Id .been continued in ao imixmant a place as the command of an army corps on tbcSOtb of August, and in tbe defences of Washington, and in the later battles io wben (be invasion of the north was threatened. These facts would icdi- . rate lo so unprejudiced mind that the ; ciiargw against Porter were an alterI thought, to shift the responsibilities of | failure from other shoulders and to place i 'General Grant then reviews the facts ! out in tbe evidence before the j t-choficid Board. In tbe oourae of his review.be says; i "A literal obedience to the order of the ofbAugust was a physical impoasibilily. It is further abowo that General Porter was desirous of obeying it literally, so far as was practicable, hot-was pre? ailed , by his leading generals — against ; whom a suspicion of disloyally 10 Ibiir ogiimnnder or to tbe cause has never been cnicrlaincd— lo do what his own judgment i approved a a the beat thing tn do; to make a later start with a view to arriving at bis dcatiaation as early as it was possible for • him to arrive there, and to give his jaded sod r orncu; troops two tsours tnore of needed rest. ! "I question very much whether there : an engagement during the war, or a ; errica of engagements, continuing ortr as alxjut Ball Run. la August. 1862, when only one but a number of generals did not exert tso ibeir discretion, at Porter did on this oaension, and with far leas Justifl. "In regard to the charge of disobedience of tbe 4.30 order, which is the pfinrijil and tbe one that has most deeply imprcssrd tbe mind of tbe general public, Iherlvc evidences which look to W important and cood naive, showing that Ibe court-martial wbicb tried General Porter him guilty under a mistaken idea of the actual facta, now accessible lo any one In search of ibe trulfa, tad wbicb knew to be facta at the time. As maintained by tbe prosecution, to tbe apparent satisfaction of the court, the ailualitn of tbe bdigerent forces wu in numand position about as here given; • -Si."'; The 4.80 r. u. order of tbe 2»lb of Au. gust required Porter to attack tbe enemy's right flank and to get into his rear If possible. Tbe eoctny in tbe mind of tbe commanding general, and, no doubt, of tbe court, wu Jackson's force of 22,000 Porter arts supposed to occupy, with 10,000 trocipe, the poaltioo usfgoed him in Ibe dugram given. Tbe court also seems to have been satisfied that tbe order to make this attack wu read red by from 5 lo 5 80 o'clock in tbe aftrrobey Ibe order. „ That tbe commanding general believed Die poalttdna u given in tbe foregoing diagram to be tbe posilions of Ibe different commands is shown from tbe fact I hat in joint order of that morning he stated thai "tbe indications are that tbe wbole force of tbe enemy is moving injbisdire&MToVpace Dial Vrffi bring tb&iV-ft by to-morrow night or next day"— thit is, the evening of the 30th or tbe morning of tbe Bin of August— and from the fact that in tbe 4-50 order be stated "that tbe eneis massed In tbe woods in front of us," thus ignoring tbe presence of LongstrocL is confirmed in bis map No. 5. furnished lo tbe goternmenL If these had tbe facts of tbe case, there would been no JnrJflcation whatever for failing to make the attack u ordered; but, instead of the facts being u supposed by tbe commanding general and the court which tried General Porter, they u shown by tbe following diagram. This Porter knew ou indisputable -evidence: jjpWj*; As shown by Ibis diagram Porter wu not a position to attack tbe right flank of Jackson, because be wu at least three miles away, tad not across his Mok, u ' shown in the first diagram. With Long- ! siren's presence, to base obeyed that or. drr be would have hero obliged, with 10,chosen position before he cooid b».e j moved upon Ibe flack ol tbe enemy ,«swr | tbe order directed.

21 fir 3iflifrtisrmnrt*. AT WAKAMAKER'S Visitors to Philadelphia are invited to visit Ac store, whether to see or to buy. Your parcels are checked ; a waiting-room is provided, - where you may rest with , ladies and children; guides ; conduct you through the house,*or you wander at will ; there are many things of interest to sec, and a weli come. For two years, perhaps, we , have had tne richest, largest, • most varied and most exhaus- ■ tivc collection of dress-goods in Philadelphia. Before that, we may have had the largest, | and even the most exhaus1 tive, but perhaps not the richest. The slowest trade '' to come to a new merchant is the trade of luxury. It is j the slowest to change from one to another. But it does 1 change. c We may sav our dressgoods of ail ^orts are at q about their highest now. k Silks of all sorts have c come; and never were silks more acceptable. And these 0 words have a meaning here beyond any they coula have elsewhere; because of the a greater variety of wants that look to us for supply. We must have all accepted styles, 1 and all the approved qualities of those styles; and, as x to colors, can you think of '• one that we can do without? l! A store that has only one " class of trade can get along with comparatively few silks, a Which stock would you rather buy out of? Two damask towels at 15 a and iS cents may serve to * sin >w what we gain, by buy- ® ing «>f the makers. The verv .] same towels are in the wholeit sale trade in Keiv York at m sdiotit-21 and 22 cents, which ! moans at least 25 cents at I retail. h We are not going to say il.at all 'our -reiail, prices are bi low New Yoik wholesale; c no hing of the sort "More J tlir.n one swallow to make a c summer." But where such i. towels are to be got for 1 5 1. cents is a goothplace to look '• for bed aod tabl>rHfien, and all the other hnens. ' That's what we mean exactly; it's true, too. ® A very w ide and surprisingly good navy-blue twilled a ilanoel for 50 cents; '45-inch. i Do you remember a 35- •' ten 1 ilaimel for 25 cents, of ^ wltich we had 1K.000 yards ^ last fall ? Afterward we got g 7.000 yards more of it; and. 0 a "Rule of it is left yet. That » is. 2K-i'nch. This wide flan- '• ncl ts fully as good as that. d All the warmer sorts of i. underwear are ready; for <■ men, women and children; 1 thick-cotton, merino, wool, e and silk. All the sorts need- .... ed for all sorts of people E with all sorts of notions; r, and, for people who want it, « there- is quite a little wit 5 about underwear to be picked up at the counter. Where ' else would you look for it ? Not in books surely; for c goods are changing all the - time; and so get ahead of ' books. " John Wanamaker, pHILADnLTfllA. OlSMcl. Thlnrealt.
