The New York Journal Of Commerce in CON-
menting upon General PoRrER's case. remarks:
We expressed no opinion while this trial was
in progress, and only once warned the court that
a gross departure from the rules of evidence
would, unless corrected. subject them 20 the i'm
putation of unfairness and partiality. In that
instance, having admitted evidence of motive
against Porter, they refused to admit similar ev-
idence of motive in his favor. This fact was
enough to determive the views of the court.
For being both judges and jury, it is very plain
that such decision was equivalent TO saying,
We ewill not consider General Porter's honest mo-
tives, good intentions soldierly views. patriotic
designs in all that he did. any evidence in his
favor We need not say that the finding of the
court AS now reported, is contrary to the evi-
dence in our view. and such is a great errcr
and wrong. But Il is done. Let us be content
with recording our own opinions OF the General
who is thus condemned.
Drawer or a better maE than Fitz John Por
ter, more gallant soldier, more faithful patriot
we do not believe exists in the army of the Union
Foremost in battle. sage in council, fierce q
lion in the hour of war, the accomplished gentle
man and faithful friend in the hour OF peace,
he is a model soldier and noble man. The
United States owes him debt Of infinite graft
tude for his brave deeds, his arduous labor. his
undnching devotion TO the Gauss of the Union.
That debt will be paid one day, if he lives. and
we who defend the Union live 10 see the old
glory restored. Saying thus much let us pass
on to the next step in the road of ruin, only
warning each other to stand firm by the founds-
tions, and be ready for the day of rebuilding
when they who now tear down shall step aside
and permit us to save the fragments.

OFFICERS LEAVE OF ABsEycE.-The following
is an answer to question which is frequently
asked by officers in this Department. 1t is the de-
csion of the Paymaster General, U. S. A.
An officer is entitled to half-pay during the term
of his leave of absence, and is not entitled to any
pay from the time his leave expires TIL he reports
for dnty-until cleared by board. If this is done
he is entitled to half pay for the additional time he
has been absent without leave.
1t is not the business or duty Of Government to
furnish transportation to officers returning from
Leave of absence. They are bound to be at their
posts in proper time, at their own risk

From Our Special Correspondent.
MoRRIs ISLAND, S. c., Aug. 25, 1863
The bombardment of Fort Sumter has closed,
The Fort is practically reduced, and any continu
ance of fire, would be regarded as waste of am
munition and pr0jectiles. Two or three guns are
still kept in play, at intervals to prevent the garri
son from mounting new guns, if they so desired,
to annoy the navy, when it goes upon the war
path again.
Since Thursday isst, the date Of your last COM
munication, the bombardment was continued with
uninterrupted severity and unparalleled effect The
gorge wall was so badly shattered and tumbled
down that only mass of rubbish was left to fire
at. All the damage possible had been inflicted
on the wall. The parapet had been knocked
down, and the face of the wall so shattered, that
the arches were visible, and light shone through
them from the interior. Of course no guns could
be mounted on that side of the work. and that fact
being placed beyond doubt, fire was directed
against the South East face, on Thursday and that
soon began to exhibit all the incipient symptoms
of disentegration. The clouds Of smoke and brick
dust that issued from the face of the wall when a
shot struck it, hung for moment about the wall
and then slowly drifted away, revealing huge holes
or craters in the masonry, wide gaps in the par
Fort appeared as if it was suffering from an acute
attack Of the small pox, which had brok' n out Oh
it. The craters then begun to run one into anoth-
or, and huge masses of masonry becoming detach-
ed, fell with crash, below, and enveloped the
work in clouds of dust. The parapet was CON-
plstely torn away by Sunday, and the south bastion
knocked into ruins. Not more than one gun
remained on the parapet, and it isdoubtful whet'
that is seryiceab'e. When the bombardment
proper closed on Monday night the Fort was prac-
tically in ruins Every portion of it bore marks
of the severity of our fire. 1t was rendered un-
tenable to any but small detachment of men who
could hide themselves in obscure corners and even
they could not escape the effects of our fire. The
value Of the work is entirely destroyed. Ii is no
longer reckoned among the defences of Charleston.
Since Monday, one or two guns have been slowly
firing at the Fort, to complete its destruction
The last gun on the parape. was diSmounted by
Capt. Gray's battery, and little rounding off Of
the rough edges will complete the job undertaken
