In addition to the Associated Press dispatch to the Star, publisbed in our second edition to- day, we hear that Gen. Burnside has telegraphed to headquarters that the engagement is aheavy | ong, and that everything is going on well for us in the course of its progress, 90 far. To-day, the examination of Gen. McDowell wes continued, principally by questions put by ; the Court, ehciting answers evincing General | McDowell's belief thatif Gen. Porter had, in } Obeeience to his(Gen. McD.'s) orders advanced ' and attacked the enemy on their right on the evth, as Gen. McD, after consultation with | Gen. Porter, expected him todo, he would have | decided the battiein favor of the Unisn troops; the said order of Gen. McD. to Gen. Porter having been subsequently confirmed by a sim- ilar order sent to him by Gen. Pope. Afterwards the cpunsel for the accused ques- tioned the witness whether, in his judgment, if Gen. Porter had made the attack under these | orders without the use of his battaries in so doing, he would have been disobeying his ordere; Gen Pope's order directing him to make the attack with his batteries. A member of the Court objected to this qui tion; and the room being clenred it was so de- cided, and shortly afterwards announced that they would xet permit this question to be put to Gev. McDowell. 2. e THE McDUWELL COURT OF INQUIRY.
