to what is assumed 10 be their cause, and the
interest of their section will expose them to the
most severe punishment and the necessity OF
enforcing acquiescence when unaumity Ia want
ing. will make that punishment effective. Ii is
Of the utmost Importance, therefore, that essen
tial protection should be extended to these peo-
pie. where they have made Roadway enough
against treason TO chow that they desire it, both
for their own sake aud for the sake Of the
Union.
We shall not undertake to give Gen. Scott q
lesson in strategy. nor pretend TO understand his
plan Of the campaign. But We may venture to
say that we should be glad to see some forward
movement which, were we q resident of Eastern
Tennessee or Western Kentucky, would hold out
to us hope Of succor from the horrible cruel
ties to which the people in that section are eK-
posed. We would rather be assured that
Western Generals were 90 energetic in making
preparations to advance for the protection Of
loyal Union men in Kentucky and Tennessee,
that they had no time TO listen even to PROPOSE
tlons of negotiation with Western Governors as
to whether Federal troops should enter either
of those States. 1t is certainly poor en-
coursgement 10 the men Of the extreme
Southern States to preserve their integrity to see
that those further North, and more within reach,
receive so little aid from the Government And
when we receive, as we do daily. accounts OF
the destruction OF property, Of men, women,
and children barely escaping from their homes
with their lives. Of frequent murders, and Of oil
the worst outrages that attend condition ol
actual hostties, it is difficult to persuade our
selves that it might not be wise even to suffer
some military reverse, should that be necessary
for the sake of encouraging these people, and
stirring them up to renewed drmODst ations o.
loyalty by attempting to afford them some little
protection. We still hope that the time rnay
come when such steps may be thought to b.
prudent as well as wise.

CoMMoDoRE WV. d. PoRrER.-We copied recently
from The Ckarie,ton Courier, which took from The
Norfolk Day-BOOk, letter purporiing to come from
VIM. D. Porter, jr., lieutenant in the Confederate
army incosing another letter purporng to come from
Commodore Porter Of the ship ST. Louis Pacific Squad
ron, cordially indorsng young Porter for taking arms
for the Souih and promising that he the COMMODORE
would soon be home and devote the remainder of his
life to the cause Of JEFF Davis. All this is, beyond
doubt forgery; certainly 80 far as the Commodore Is
concerned. In TIE TRIBUNE Of Feb. Is, we printed
nobly patriotic letter written BY him in to the
tressonabe appeal Of Lieut.. late Lieut.. Hamil-
tom II is NOT possible that CON- Porter would change
in six weeks from patriot to traitor If he should is
credible that he would proclaim his own infamy IN
the manner set forth in the alleged letter. And be-
Sides we have seen letter from young Porter written
in Washington long after the date of that from bis Ia
ther and at that time he not in the Secession serv
ice nor was il supposed that he had any intonon Of
sspousng their cause. We must have better evidence
before we doubt the loyalty Of Com. Wn ID. Porter.

We learn from good authority that, in eOnse-
.quence Of the energetic measures recently taken
here for the suppression Of the slase-trade,
several parties are now fitting out vessels in
Eastern ports. The cargoes are taken down in
coasting schooners, and sent by rail, care being
taken to so divide them that there shall be in no
one shipment enough to excite suspicion. 1t
behOoyes our Federal officers as New-London,
Eew-Bedford, and Portland especially, and at all
the seaports to keep close watch upon suspicious
r, vessels, for, under the present Administration
the most vigorous efforts viii be made to stop
the traffic, and any officer suffering disguised

In the Senate, Andrew Johnson viii appear
for Tennessee, Messrs Breoknridge and Powell
for Keutucky, and Mr.. Salisbury for Delaware.
Mr.. yard mey also take his seat. but we con-
slider this doubtful. He is pledged to resign 10
case his constituents insist on the policy oil Co
" ercion," or putting down the Rebellion by force.
as a majority of them undoubtedly 40. Dir.
Bright of Indiana, we bear, also (beiug "opposed
"to Coercion') purposes TO resign, but we pre-
sume not Immediately. Whenever be does'
good Republican Schuyler Cofa1-wlll
replace him AS every Free State, including
Kansas and Oregon, is fully represented in the
Senate. we trust there is no doubt OF quorum
in either House at noon to-day.
There are but few contested seats. The most
important and difficult Is that Of John NJ Butter
against William 4. Lehman from the lst DIS
trct of PsnnsJlvsna. Fraudulent voting trauou-
lent counting, and fraudulent returning have
complicated the matter sadly, 30 that each can
didats claims TO hold the regular return. Inc
Return Judges gave the seat to Butler; the
Governor (Packer) awarded it TO Lehman. Ii
is understood that Mr.. Forney, Clerk oil the
late House, will coll the name OF Dir, Leh-
man, which will give him the seat at the outset.
In the end, we trust the case will be thoroughly
sted, and exact justice done without fear or
favor. We will not PREJUDICE it.
There is a pretext Of contest for Delegate
from Nebraska, but no ground for it, Mr.. DAILY
received majority Of the votes cast Dir. Nor.
ton claims 10 be returned on the strength of
votes clearly proved fictitious. He will have no
show.
No caucus of Republican Members Of the
House has been held, and the names Of Messrs.

The first ballot will probably show which is
the favorite when the Republican votes VIII
all be concentrated on him-pOssibly those Of
the Union Democrats as well. Mr.. Grow has
been longest q member and we think has the
best chance on that ground if on no other; but
Mr. Blair is very popular in consequence OF his
conspicuous and practically eXemplifed devotion

We beg leave to dissent, very briefly but most
decidedly, from the tenor of the sayings and do

che true way to defend our HsrbOr, and the
harbOrs Of all other loyal cities, is to thrash the

We hold that our City would be far better pro-
teoted this day by one hundred good feld-guns

three hundred Of the heaviest Paixhans or Dahl
grens mounted in our various ports and batteries.
No foreign feet win trouble us if we whip the

we fail to do that, forty thousand artiersts in
