Seastor Logan—Oh, yes; weli, I'll wake it a teial of Porter, and I will dsy ranke thls country understand, too, that it is Porter who 1s on trial for disobedience of Pope's orders, Claim- |ing to havo shown bayond a doubt thers was o battls on the 20sh, Logan said the noxt quostion was, did Porter re- celva avy order to take part in that battle and if so did he obey i'? Porter at Bristow, Va., at9:30 in ths aud ten minutes later he wrate to Barnsids saying among other things, ho thongite his lucky star up and adding, “‘1 hops Mao's star is up to.” Whatcil that mean? Mac had been removed from command of the army snd Pope had bean put there in his atead and tho hope was to get Pope out and have Mac restored. That was the meaning of that remark, Agato, Porter wigte in the same letter, “You will hear of us soon by way of Alexaudris,” Why by way of Alexandria! If the army was successful it would carry the enemy into Virginia, but Alexand'ia was & good place to retreat to in ci 1 of de- feat. There were only two vays to explain Porter's conduot, +ither he was & coward, or else he did not in: tend to fight under Pope, avd as the senator from New Jarry (Sa voll) said he was not & coward, { the other ex- planation must be accepted. Senator Sswell asked Logan whether he meant to convey the idea that Porter was on tho flank of vonfoder- ate army or anywhere near, + Senator Logan.—No; I do not wish to confor the idea that he was on the confederato army at all, for Le was not, Butif he had obeycd Pope’s order he would havegeen on oconted- erate flank, Senator Sowell—The senator doea not undorstand the situation. The ordor of Pope contemulated his strik- ing the lefc flank of Jackson nnd not Longstrect, who was in his front., Sanator Logan—Upon what anthor- ity does the sonator eay Longstreot wes in his fron(? .
