ARBITRARY ARRESTS.

Philadelphia Eveuing Journal, and the question

views entertained by the latter journal respecting
the grounds on which military arrests should be
made, and also respecting the class Of persons who
should be deemed worthy Of the distinction i'm

topic the Tribune held the following sensible Ian

CASE OF GEN. FITz JOHN PORTER

Our contemporaries in nearly all parts of the country
continue to occupy their columns with the questions
by the decision of the late Court Martial in the case OF
Gen. FTZ JOHN PORTER II seems that the surrepttous
publication purportng to be the proceedings" of the
court has been very widely disseminated though a not
current Washington, where it printed The Urbanna
Union, paper published in Champaign county Ohio,

subject in its weekly number Of January %:
"The public have been surprised to learn that Major
General Fz John Porter, who has been under trial be-

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

The New York Times of Thursday last makes
an announcement of some importance, if it be au-
thentic, as we presume it is, from the positveness
as they substantially are by current impressions in
this CITY, though not extending to all the details
enumerated by the Times, and some of which we
take to be rather infrential than positive in their
nature.
1t is known to our readers that, about ten or
lished Washington despatch announcing that a
person named Jewett had been holding interviews
with the French Minister for the purpose of pro-
noting the Intervention of France in our affairs ;
and the statement obtained color of credibiity
because it contained an extract from despatch of
NJ MERCER, which was first made public through
that medium. If the averments of Jewett are at
all to be credited, he succeeded in enlisting much
more important personages than himself in his
medtated project of Intervention, and it is stated
by the Times that since the publications then
made Mr., Greeley has opened correspondence
with NJ MERCER on the topic initiated by Jewett,
and that in this correspondence he has augured the
early advent of peace, through what agency the
Times does not explicitly state.
The announcement of the Times we need not say,
derives its chief importance from the highly nfu-
entail position of Mr.. Greeley in regard to the
military policy of the Administration. We shall
await the developments of the future, to see what
will be the upshot of the movement he is said to
have made in this quarter.
Before dismissing this topic, however, it may
not be amiss to remind our young contemporary of
the Tribune that there is in force statute of the
United States, passed in the year 1899, which it
would be we'll for him to consult before proceeding
much farther in the correspondence he is alleged
to have commenced with the French Minister.
That statute denounces heavy penalty against any
citizen of the United States who without the
permission of the Government" shall, directly or
indirectly, commence or carry on any verbal or
written correspondence with any foreign Govern
ment or any officer or agent thereof in relation to
any disputes or controversies with the United
States, or to defeat the measures of the Govern
ment of the United States" 1t would be source
Of profound regret to the many admirers of our
jealous contemporary, if, for an infringement of
this statute, the military administration, charged
as it is with the duty of making " extraordinary
arrests" should find itself placed under the dis
agreeable necessity of making one which would be
the most extraordinary of all, because, being based
on the violation of an express law, it would be
likely to result in the fine and imprisonment of the
party After the lenity that has been shown to
Democratic editors, Notwithstanding their eds
loyal practices" it would grieve Us to have the
Provost Marshal General proceed with too much
rigor against Mr.. Greeley

Gen. McOlsllan, and that when selected BY the
President he was known to be incompetent" II
this impression has been created" at all, We ina
CINE il is mainly due to the action of the Presi-
dent, who, because some Of Gen. Burnsde's sub
ordinate officers had protested vehemently against
recent movement" peremptorily ordered him to
" make no movement without first consulting him"
Such the statement made of his own knowledge,
by Mr.. Raymond, Of the New York Times, and,
until it is officially conradicted and dsproved, the
writer for the Daily Chronicle should not seek to
fasten on US the odous responsibility of "creating
an impression" to the injury of Gen. Burnside's
military capacity.
And Just as little are we open to the charge OF
striking at his successor" We give him all the
confidence inspired by his gallant conduct in the
subordinate positions he has heretofore filled in the
army Of the Potomac, and hope that the wisdom Of
the choice which the Administration has made may
be approved by his retention in command long
enough to give full proof of his quality as com
mander And to this end we would have tho Ad-
ministraton place sufficient confidence in the new
commander to concede him the privilege OF select
ing his chief of staff, which, it is said by an APP
ministration journal, has been already denied him
As to the representations we have male 10 the
case Of Gen. Fitz John Porter, We shall have no
thing to say until satisfactory answers are given to
the questions We propounded on Saturday last
When the mystery which broods over the publica-
ton Of the truncated proceedings" has been dis

Advocate drawn up for the information of the Pre-
sident (but composing, as we understand, no part
