prevented and cured in their iocipent stages, but
confirmed cases are bevond the possibility of rua-

airy to the second corps of Porter's army,
was called in and briefly questioned with ref
erence to the report he made to Gen. Mellow
ell, on the 2Sth of August, of the presence of
a large force under Gen. Longstreet, near
Gainesville He stated that he thought they
had come through Thoroughfare Gap, and
had approached from the direction of Gains
Vile.
A communication on Tuesday, from Gen.
Sigel to the Mcdowell court ofinquiry, states
that he was not prepared as yet to make any
corrections in his testimony. This, together
with the letters from General Mcclellan, de-
signed to throw light on the declaration he has
previously made before the court, were read
by the recorder, and ordered to be appended
to the days proceedings. Major Willard, aid
to Gen. Mcdowell, was the only witness. He
was examined concerning an interview be-
tween Gen. Mcdowell and Gen. Sigel on the
9th of August, near Buckland's Mills, at
which he was present. He said he thought
he had heard Gen. Mcdowell request Gen.
Sigel to go to Manassas, and march also to
Thoroughfare Gap, offering him for that pur-
pose the command of one of his divisions.
Adjourned till Monday, in order to enable the
recorder to bring up the record, large cor

Il very handsome silk flag, which is to be pre-
sented to the first regiment of South Carolina
volunteers-an organization composed of ne
groes-of which the Rev. Il. w. Higginson, a

width) and is made in the most finished style.
Upon it is inscribed: "lst Reg. S. C. Vols.
-GoD GIVES LIBERTY TO ALL" The staff,
which is of ebony, is silver mounted, with a
silver spear at the top. The large silver hand
band bears the following inscription: ''Pre-
sented to the LIST s. C. Volunteers by daugh-
ter OF Connecticut" The flag was made at a
cost of one hundred dollars, and will be for
warded to Port Royal by the first transport
which leaves for that place.-M Y CONNER

The Courts Martial.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-In the Porter court
martial, Gen. Burnside testified to having re-
ceived unofficial kilograms from Porter after
that officer had joined the army OF Virginia,
relative to the operations of the forces under
Gen. Pope's command. He was satisfied that
what was said therein of Gen. Pope's charac-
ter was strictly correct. Being asked wheth-
er the indisposition evinced by many of
General McClellan's officers to serving
under General Pope, was not chiefly
caused by the withdrawal of the army
from the peninsula, he replied that almost
every officer with whom he had cOnversed,
had fully sanctioned the wisdom of that move.
He had, however, no desire to make personal
reflections on the capacity of Gen. Pope.
Being further questioned in regard to Gen.
Porter he stated that he knew that Porter
had Immediately obeyed the order requiring
him to Join his forces with General pope
but whether he had used efforts beyond the
dictates of duty to do so he was not aware He
smoke also of an incident that occurred on the
hanks of the Chickahominy, in which Gen.
Porter displayed foresight. Whilst on the
point of crossing that stream the wagon trains
yery much impeded the movements of the
troops. Gen. Porter had ordered the wagons
to pass on beyond, and in doing so was COM
Delled to change the position OF his troops.
Gen. Mcclellan was at first displeased with
this maneuver; but, after the army had cross
ed, fully assented to its righteousness.
Gen. Butterfield, of Gen. Porters corps,
was next sworn. lie stated that he was pres
ent when the order from Gen. Pope arrived
directing Gen. Porter to march at one o'clock
A. NJ, August 2Sth. Porter, he said, having
sent out his aids to explore the roads, was
convinced by their reports Of the impractical
bility of starting before daybreak, and decided
accordingly. He gave an account OF the

A. FALSE STORY CORRECTED.
Stewards Cavalry Not in Maryland.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-The report that
Stewards cavalry have crossed over into Ma
ryland, is not true. The Star of to-day, says:
"There is no truth in the current story that
Stewards cavalry have crossed the Potomac
into Maryland, which was telegraphed from
here last evening. The rumor grew out of
the fact that night before last ten or twelve
rebel guerrillas crossed from Balls Bluff over
to Harrison's Island, probably designing
brief thieving expedition into Maryland.
But, seeing that their motions were observed
from the north shore, they prudently returned
into Loudon county before daybreak. This
is the whole truth concerning the body of
5000 confederate cavalry crossing the river
into Maryland over which secesh was rub
bling its hands last night"
