TIE PAPER BILL. FORT'S MRASULE, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasutnatox, D.C. March 4,—Col. Fort has not been able to learn tho exact status of his Paper bill slnco his return.

They dfd state, howover, that thoy did not expect, for tho present at leaat, any furthor increase of par per.

When Porter got Vopu's ordor to start at | o'clock thut night, and bo ut Bristoo by duylight, f¢ was not his duty to inquire a8 to the huture of the night, but to Immedintely {ase orders ta bls Adjutunt- Genoral to be ready to atartat Lo'elock at night.

Porter's principal vecupiation was writing letters of discourage- mentand preparing to retreat: when be should have been preparing: to fight, Tt fs trae,” enid Mr, Logan, “that Porter was not needed on the morning of the 2th, but he could nut kaow bye forchanu that ho would not be, ‘Tho fat iy that 0 DISONEYED POSITIVE ONDETS, and the court-martial could not fail to Mnd to that effect.” In regard to tho oyents of the 20th, Mr. Logan sait Porter waa ‘directed at 3a. m. by Popu ue nove on Centreville " at the first dawn of day," with big whole command, leaving his trulns to follow. “It is very Important that you should be here at a very curly bour in tho morning, A severe engagemont is likely to take pluce, and your presence Js necessary.” Gen. Porter did hot move ut dawn The sun rosa before & o'clock, but at 6.9. m. Porter wrote Burnside that “ho would be off in half an hour.” His camp was nothing but a blyoucne, not n tented flekt.

When these nominations were Ind before the President on Friday last for sign: ture, that of Pinehback, being among them, In- advertently received tho Executive approval and was carried to the Sennte by Mr. Pruyden, one of tho President's secretartes, The mistake Was discovered on F iday ovening, after the Senato had adjourned, On Friday night Mr. Rowers, by direction of the Prosident, sont Mr, Lewls a telegram Informing bln that ho was not. ti be removed, and that Pinehbuck's numing- tlon was a mistake. There Is, however, another history tald of this afar, + Sherman bad promised Plnuchback tohave histinme sent to tho Senate, and thit xenticnnn was so elated over his success that he rushed to the telegraph office ind ecammunicat- ed thogind tliings to his friends at New Ore Jeans, who enused tha same to be published in the piers of that city, This announcement {ne duced Louls Kennare, Deputy Naval Officer, and Mr. Dumont, Chairman of tha Republican State Committee, to send protests by telegraph to the President and Sceretary Sherman ugiinst tho removal of Lowls, and to follow them in person by fast traias to Washington, These gentle: met saw the President immediately followings tholr arrival, and recetyed upromise from hint that Lewls should not be removes.
