EDITORS HERALD:-The admissions made
by the Richmond Examiner, of the Goth inst.
regarding the condition of the Confederacy.
together with the bright spots that are lust
now appearing in the nations horizon, have
greatly encouraged loyal people here. Those
who watch the course Of things closest regard
the indications as exceedingly favorable to the
Union cause, and are confidently expecting
speedy change for the better"
Ga FITZ JOHN PORTER.
The verdict of the Court Martial in the
case Of this General, was contrary to what the
people had been led to expect, yet every loyal
man will welcome it as most just and wise.-
"The wish is father to the thought" and the
semi-secessionists had consoled themselves with
the belief that he would be entirely exhonora-
ted, and that they would thus triumph over
justice and the best interests Of the country
The finding of the Court, therefore, has driven
them mad and now, they loudly assert that
political considerations have produced this ver-
dict. Whatever these traitors may say, the
Country will welcome it, and bless God that
justice and right have at last triumphed over
fanaticlsm and treachery.
BUTLER GOES TO NEW ORLEANS.
The Government has decided to send Gen.
Butler back to New Orleans, to resume his old

the Emancipation Proclamation into his hands,
but the programme has been changed. I'M
mediately after arriving in New Orleans, he
will commence the organization of negro regi-
ments for military service. He has expressed
a firm belief tina. he can do this successfully,
and that their services will prove most valua-
BILE to the Government.

an expedition to Texas, which is to be Oh
speedily, and to which great Importance is at
tached.
BURNsIDE's ARMY.
1t is understood that Burnside has crossed a
great portion Of his army to the other side o.
the Rappahannock, yet all particulars are kept
from the public. We only know that he Is
across and stuck in the mud, and must guess
at particulars, and what will be done nex,.-
This secrecy, in itself, is encouraging.

the Proclamation, that is intended to be com
plete in every particular, and from which the
Government is expected to receive most impor
tant assistance in putting down the rebellion

FROM INDIANA.
A prominent member of the Indiana Senate
writing to a friend hers, under date of the
Goth, says:
"The making up of the Union men of lndi
ana has inspired all with renewed courage anc
and hope Rousing, enthusiastic meetings are
being held all over the State, and believe
the time is not far distant when those who
have been organizing secret societies for trea
sonable purposes, in this State, and who are
now SO camorous in their denanclations of tn
policy of the Administration, will call upol
the mountains and hills to hide and protec
them from the just indignation of loyal anc
patriotic spirited people. ! think the schemes
of these souless politicians who would poison
the West against New England, looking to TIL
severance of the West from the East, will al
be thwarted
