The Washington correspondence oI
The Chicago Tribune. in detailing the re
suit Of severa! interviews with Commo-
dorc Porter Of the Navy. makes the fol
lowing curious statements:
"He thinks the South has determined
to overthrow his command in our navy,
because they found, in the secret history
of the Navy Retiring bill, and at other
times, that he would not serve the pur.
poses of the rebellion. The secret his.
tory of that bill for getting rid of navy
officers, he gave me at length. The
movers in it in Congress were all South
rons, including Benjamin. Mallory,
Slidell. Morris, Stribling, Dupont, and
others. They first felt of every promi.
nent man in the navy. and sounded them
on tho question of a Southern monarchy
elective in its nature, and TO issue titles
of nobility. Two hundred and one were
put aside by The bill as inefflcient.--
Porter was one and for four years wa.
he kept out during which time he start
ed The .imerieaa Reyiew in New Yorl
City. and was connected elsehow will
the press. When he was nominate,
again for command in the navy by th'
then President, Slidell opposed his con
tirmation in the Senate. charging that h,
had insulted him at Wizards Hotel, b,
calling him traitor-as he had oil.
Sam Houston rose. and asked Did yo,
then take satisfaction, or demand il pub

all the officers of his squadron into hi
| flag ship, Porter among the rest. ant
stated that he wanted 10 sound them OF
t the question Of an elective monarchy
South. Porter told them he shoult
cling to the flag his father used ant
fought for. About ITO Of the naval Of
ficers were retained under the naval bill
spoken OF, every one of whom was o
Southern procliyities, and l3O of whom
have since resigned their commands.
"At the same time this Naval bill was
taking shape, the unusually large number
of guns were moved to the Norfolk Navy
Yard. which Capt. Porter regards as
one Of the most important, and to be re-
taken at any cost at once. AT the same
time there was opened at Pensacola an
immense coal yard, and every man in it,
as at Norfolk, was known to be tool of
the South. The Navy Yard in this city
was pnt into the care Of Capt. Buchanan,
who was Secretary of the Naval Board,
and the revelations from this Navy Yard
have shown the secession tendencies Of
the employees. Pendegrast, who has
been put to the blockade off Virginia, is
a brother-in. law Of two strong secession
lists in the Navy, Blake and Barron:
and already several of his men have re-
signed. Meantime, Floyd was arranging
the plans for supplying the rebellion with
arms on land, SO that when tho Navy
should be all right on the seas, the Army
should be all right on land. Ship and
shore were both made sure as they could
make them. The time came, and the
South struck their blow-the North all
unprepared."

a Good speech.

At the Peoples Convention ut the
Court House on last Saturday. Judge
Isbcll being present though not taking
part, obtained leave Of the house for two
minutes to define his position in relation
to the subject under consideration, and
spoke as follows:
am one of those who believe, that
the frequent threats of those now arrayed
in arms against the government of the
' - ~ RApublican shall
administer tiie yv'0s..------'I, :,
stitutionally elected, demands of all Re.
puUicans, that they should stand by and
uphold tho conslitutionally elected Pres
ident of their choice, so long as he shall
administer the government with fidelity.
and that any faltering by them, in his
support now. will be hailed as harlem
ger Of Ultimate Victory, by those in re-
belion against his authority.
| believe, therefore, that to abandon
the organization BY which he was elected
now, would be "a concession i'm the face
of menace " encouraging his enemies,
and tending to induce defeated parties in
future. to exact like concessions.
believe that all political issues both
State and National. have become absorbed
in this one great issue. shall the regu
larly constituted authority be asserted,
and its supremacy maintained, through
out tho whole Union, or shall the Gov.
ernment be destroyed. And on this
great issue all republicans emphatically
pronounce that the destruction Of the
government of these United States would
be the greatest political calamity that
could befall mankind.
therefore believe that republicans
should humbly appeal to all patriots, oi
all parties to unite with them as broth
ers in the maintenance Of this great
issue
can but depreciate the formation oi
a new party upon this issue now. for
however pure the motive, or whatever
may be the nature OF such party, conf.
dence is OF slow growth, and | believe
the inevitable practical result must bo, 10
engender discord and heated strife, det.
rimental to the best interest Of the coun.
try, and encouraging To its enemies.
l believe that those democrats who
have lain aside past party prejudicos
and come forward to aid the administra
tion struggling TO assert its rightful SUI
premacy. eslnce pure patriotism, tha
tends in the highest degree to promote
real unity, and they not only lay III,
Republican psrty, and the whole country
