Porter CAsE.-Ths inquiry 10 the oass
Of Gen. Porter still drags its slow
length along, firing those present with
its dull details, aud furnishing scarcely

founding disclosure promised BY the
Tribune have, AZ we predicted, ended
in smoke, and the evidence on the part
Of the prosecution has closed without .
single fact having bceo elected which
can be said to damage the accused
No one acquainted with the character
and services Of Gen. Porter supposed
that anything could be made out OF the
charges preferred against him. It was
not, 10 fact, Gen. Porter, but Gen. Nc
CIelan, who Was put upon bis trial 10
this inquiry. After the latter was dis.
missed trom the command Of the army
Of the Potomac, unable to find ANYTHING
in his conduct that could directly justify
his removal, bis Prosecutors tsncied

therefore entitled to the confidence OF
The army or the country. What has
been the result That the evidence
taken in the cases of both Porter and
Mcdowell places the conduct Of McCIel-
Ian in more patriotic and disinterested
light than ever, and shows him to bo
head and shoulders above all those who
wcrc Ieagued in this miserable conspira.
cy against him. But it proves some.
thing more. Nobody who reads it can
fail to be struck with the recklsssness
with which the immense resources

Green River, whose swollen waters now sweep
