THE PORTER COURT MARTIAL

To-day, the examination Of Gen. Mcdowell
was ccntin ued, principally by questions put by
the Court, eliciting answers evincing General
McDowcll's belief that IL Gen. Porter had, in
obedience to his (Gen. Mods orders advanced
and attacked the enemy on their right on the
ceth, as Gen. Med, after cons ultation with
Gen. Porter, expected him to do, he would have
dc cided the hattie In fav Of the Unisn troops;
the said order OF Gen. Med. TO Gen. Porter
having been subsequently confirmed by a SIM
liar order sent to him by Gen. Pope.
Afterwards the counsel for the accused ques-
toned the witness whether, in his Judgment
if Gen. Porter had made the attack under these
orders without the use Of his batteries in so
doing, he would have been disobeying his
orders; Gen Pope's order directing him to make
the attack with his batteries.
A member Of the Court objected TO this cues
ton; and the room being cleared it was so de-
cided, and shortly afterwards announced that
they would act permit this question to be put
to Gen. Nc Dowef.

Early THE morning the belief was We, held at
Fredericksburg that the mass of the rebel army
were within striking distance Of the town,
behind the works they had OF late laborsd So
Sndusiriously to prepare. The mystery OF their
exact position will, however, be very shortly
cleared up, as our cavalry and sharpshooters
must soon be ready TO feel for them in all
directions On the front.
