The Couri-Nartiul Of Gen. Porter.
WisnIs0Tos. Tuesday, Dec 3 1885,!
Tho Eonrt maj af n clock to-day

The Court met at II o'clock to-day.
Brighten. Is. s. Roberts, late Inspector
General Of tho Army Of the Potomac, under
Gen. Pope, was sworn. His position brought him
often ia contact with Gen. Pope, and made him
familiar with his Gen. Pope'sl plans, operations
and orders. The witness was on the field during
the entire engagement of Aug. -.
In view Of what the army of Con. Pope had &c
compIshed when the battle of this day closed, be
had no doubt at all that if Gen. Porter had made
the attack as directed by the order of 4:3O p of
the 10Th ii would have resnlied III the defeat and
capture Of the main army OF the Rebels who were
Oh the field at that time.
The witness expected an attack to be made by
Gen. Porter, did Gen. Pope, prior TO the receipt
Of the order of 1870, ho supposed any General
within hearing OF an important battle as Gen. II.
supposed to be, being OH the line OF march from
Manassas which would have brought him 70 the
right Of the enemy line before clock, in whose
power il was TO engage in II, would have done so.
Gen. Porter was, in the opinion OF the witness,
between the hours Of four and five o'clock, in Il
position where he could have attacked the right of
ihe enemy aud. az ho also believed, could have
turned the enemya right flank and attacked their
rear from what he knew OF their position and OF
the country.
Prior to what he considered Con. Por,ers dsobe-
dience Of the order Of the 9th he had been con-
WINGED that Gen. Porter would not only do his duty.
but he led to believe that he would do it well
IA any officer In the army could.
able impressions formed merely upon the events
with which Gen. Porter was connected on the eth
and %gtb OF August.
A. They were not the only grounds. In con.
versation which | had with Maj Gen. Kearney, in
which mentioned Gen. Porter and the high estima-
ti)n in which held him, that officer told me that
did not know him Gen PoIter and that be Gen.
Porter would fail.
The disobedience of this order, and the conversa-
ton, led me 10 believe that Gen. Porter was not
doing his duty. Several officers OF Gen. Pope's
staff were about during the conversation, among
whom, think, were Coils Rngsles. Morgan, and
Welch, and Capt. Pope. do not think this con-
versation was heard by any of those present,
nor do think Gen. Kearney Intended it should be.
He was nm old friend Of nine, with whom bad
served for a great many ycars, and he was telling
me Of matters that had occurred on the Peninsula.
We had withdrawn from the others. He was giving
nae his opinion Of all the principal officers there.
The Court at o'clock adjourned till to morrow at
III o'clock.

SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS 8 g. 4.

o. The distance from Oakland to Parkesbure
is l6 miles, and s of this distance is ! of the
distance from Parkesburg to Marietta, lacking
mile; what is the distances
.Soiution:--One-eighth of Is miles is miles,
end equal times miles, which are | 0 miles.
IF 10 miles - | of the distance from Paries-
burg to Marietta, lacking mile, four-fourths,
or the whole of the distance, lacking mile,
will equal 40 miles; and if the whole distance
while lacking mile, - 40 miles, when lacking
nothing, it will equal 40 plus - al miles.
The ambiguity of the phrase ''lackng mile, -
causes a difference of opinion among arithmeti-
clans as to the correct result. BY expressing
the conditions of the problem in the form of an
equation, however, we obtain the same answer,
as by the above solution.
Thus, assuming a = to the distance, we have
: of l6 = of tr-l), or, 10-l Of 81,
whence 40=79-1, or, a--40 plus Ill result.
