"ANoTHER INVESTIGATION

1t is under the above head that the Star of
last evening publishes the following paragraph:
"a Washington correspondent ofthe Tribune.
alleging that the failure In the arrival Of the
pontoon train at Falmouth in time delayed
Burnsde's army at least a month, says that
Congress Is about to investigate II, SO as to fix
spprehend that there will be little difficulty in
so doing, II the investigation be undertaken in
good faith, rather than to the end of white
washing somebody, or to blacken somebody
else. The time is rapidly approaching when
popular sentiment will force such developments
of facts as will enable all to comprehend why
we have been unsuccessful in the prosecution
of the war up TO this period. The country can
stand but few more grave and disaster breeding
blunders, ere demanding, in tones not 10 be
disregarded, such changes and reforms as will
be likely TO secure for us the advantage Of our
superior elements Of success in the prosecution
of the war"
We ask the Star, and the other newspaper
advocates of John Van Buren's "On 10 Rich
mono" policy, whether, in presence of the
events which have arrested the progress Of our
army on the banks of the Rappahannock, il is
quite safe to insist upon the immediate advance
OF Gen. Burnside upon Richmond.
Is not the President well justified, under the
circumstances, before directing, or permitting
the advance of great army to decisive battle,

legations as are made in this paragraph in the

only section Of the State-a party, in fact
that has made an application that the State
should be divided. IL Congress had the power
to make State Of Western Virginia, then II
has the power 10 make States at pleasure--a
power which the Constitution did not bestow
upon Congfuss.
Mr.. EDWARDS, In supporting the bill, said
that the proposed MEASURE, II carried, would
have tendency to break the power Of the re-
bellion In Virginia, and, In that view, Ii was
the duty Of the House to pass II. The applica-
tlon Of the convention representing Western
Virginia was not invalidated In any way from
the mere fact that there were counties Of the
State Of Virginia proper not represented there.
They should support the loyal people Of that
State, and, III necessary, seize the territory and
repopulate it; f

Mr.. EDWARDS. If 1t was necessary to the

Mr.. MAYNARD supported the bill. The OBJ
lection was that Western Virginia was already
part OF the Union and part OF the present
state OF virginia. Inc answer 10 this was,
that the legislature OF the state had consented
to the division OF the state and for the separa-
uon Oh iorty-eight counties from the ancient
limits oil the state, That they should be admit

OF MASSACHUSETTS, from which Maine was
taken. IL was SAID that the legislature, which
voted Tor separation, was not In fact the leg

what legislature would be recognized by this
House-the traitorous many In Richmond or
the devoted loyal lew IN wheeling. He would
vote for the Dill with reluctance, from the asso-
Citations which clustered around that brave and

at Willsrds' Hall, on Monday evening.
We had intended to have published 1t in our

COUNT-MARTIAL OF GEN. PORTER.
TUESDAY, December 0, 1869.
The court met at II O'Clock.
Brig. Gen. B. Q. Roberts, late Inspector Gen
eral Of the Army Of the Potomac, under Gen.
Pope, wNs sworn. 81 = ~
His position brought him onen In contact
With Gen. Pope, and made him fsrfiliar with
his (Gen. Pope's) plans, operations and or
ders.
Witness was on the field during the entire en-
gagement Of the goth Of August. In view Of
what the army Of Gen. Pope had accomplish.
ed, when the battle of this day closed, he had
no doubt OF all that II Gen. Porter had made an
attack, o. directed by the order Of Al p. m. Of
the Goth, II would have resulted In the defeat
and the capture of the main army Of the Con-
federates who were on the field at that time.
Witness expected an attack to be made by Gen.
Porter, as did Gen. Pope, prior TO the receipt
of the order Of Al p. M, as he supposed any
general within hearing Of an important battle,
(as Gen. P. was supposed to be, being on the
line of march from Manassas, which would
have brought him to the right of the enemy's
line before O'clock y and In whose power 1t
was to engage in 1t, would have done so. Gen.
Porter was, In the opinion o. the witness, pc
tween the hours of and 8 O'Clock, In position
where he could have moved forward and have
attacked the right of the enemy, as he also be-
lieved that he could have turned the enemy's
right flank, and attacked their rear, from what
he knew of their position, and rom what he
knew Of the country. Prior TO what he con-
sidered Gen. Porter's disobedience Of the order
of the 27th, he had been convinced that Gen.
Porter would not only do his duty, but he was
led to believe that he would do II as well as any
officer in the army could. .lH
Q. Then the grounds Of the witnesses un.
favorable impressions were formed merely upon
the events with which Gen. Porter was con,
nected on the 27th and the 29th of August
A. They were not the only grounds. In a
conversation which had with Major General
Kearney, In which I mentioned Gen. Porter
and the high estimation in which held him,
that officer told me that did not know him
(Gen. Porter), and added that he (Gen. Porter
would fail Pope. The disobedience Of this
order, and this conversation, led me to believe
that Gen. Porter was not doing his duty. Sew
eral officers of Gen. Pope's staff were about
during this conversation, among whom,
think, were Colonels Ruggles, Morgan, Welsh
and Capt. Pope. do not think this converse
tion was heard by any Of those present, nor de

The enemy. q, 900 strong, divided in four di
visions, under Generals Parsons, Marmaduke,
Frost and Rains, all under Major General Hind
man, embraced the flower Of the rebel troops.
The Mississippi army was well supplied, hav-
ing eighteen pieces Of artillery.
The enemy aanked Blunt's position at Cave
Hill, and made a sudden attack upon Hernon,
TO prevent him from uniting with Blunt. Her
ron's force consisted Of the oath and 3lst llli-
nois, the 10th and Goth Iowa, the 26th Indiana,
the 10th Wisconsin battalion, and two Of cav
airy, in all, from six thousand five hundred to
seven thousand men, IND twenty-four pieces OF
artillery. -....... ....
The battle ragged from ten in the morning
till dark, and was desperately fought. Our
artillery drove the rebels from two strong posi-
tions. and kept their overwhelming number at
bay.
The Twentieth Wisconsin captured a rebel
battery Of four heavy guns, but were forced to
abandon them under a murderous fire.
The Nineteenth Iowa also took the same bat
terry, and fought most desperately, but were ai-
so obliged to yield 1t.
Almost every regiment distinguished itself.
| About O'Clock Blunt arrived from Cave
Hill with FIVE thousand men, and, together
with strong force Of artillery, attacked the
rebels in the rear.
The rebels made desperate efforts to capture
his batteries, but were repulsed with terrible

The weather is mild, and the snow has melted
considerably.
An officer, who came through from Alexan-
dria with strong escort, was told at Dumfries
that sixteen suffers, with their wagons, were
captured by Whites rebel cavalry last week,
and made to drive their own teams to some
rebel station in the interior.
White was represented as having large re-
giment of cavalry. II has for several days
been considered unsafe to pass beyond Dunn
fries without strong escort. .EH
A special court-martial met to-day, to try
John W. Irvine, on the charge of being spy;
he having been captured within our lines.
Accused was a private In the Ninth Virginia
