Especial Dispatchto the Chicago Tribune,]
WAsHN0ros. Jan. - q, 1868.
The following has been delayed by western
storms
WAsu1sGTos, Jan. 21.-Thc finding and
sentence Of court martial in the case Of Fitz
John Porter, have been approved By the Pres
ident md made public at a late hour this
evening. As announced in these dispatches
on the evening the court martial adjourned,
and several times reiterated in the face Of d.
rect1y contrary md apparently authenticated
declaration in the whole Eastern press, Porter
is found guilty Of every charge which Pope
had preferred against him, and is dismissed
from the service he has dishonored and be-
traycd.
Tho result is not generally known in the
city Jet, and little can therefore DO said Of the
impression it makes. Porter's friends, how
ever, will be utterly confounded. They pro-
fessed to believe implicitly in his acquittal
and the general and positive announcements
to the same effect in the Washington and
Philadelphia papers had led the public at large
to the same belief. The effect on Pope's
reputation, on the other hand will be equally
marked. 4 member Of the court martial said
the evening it adjourned, that he believed
Pope's campaign before Washington to have
been the most brilliant Of the war. The re.
suit Of this trial will 20 fir to increase such
impressions.
The effect on Mcclellan, who regretted that
there was not grade still higher than Major
General, that Porter might be rewarded with
ii, would be equally damaging: but for the
fact that developments ofthc last twcek or two
have left him no reputation to damage.
The recent stupid inventions Of 4 portion
Of the New YORK; press having renewed
thc fear that the french Emperor was
hostile to the North and desired our failure,
it is proper to say that there Is high authority
for stating that Napoleon is friendly to our
Government, but has no belief that the Union
can ever be restored, such at least is the opfn-
ion here in circles which have the nearest coll.
uectfon with the foreign ministers.
