DEAR HARPER:-Having arrived here
safely, let me give you a short account
of one of the most exciting and ex'
haustive physically J trips it has been
my fortune to experience. Let me be-
gin by giving you a copy Of nv iOur'
1Oth.--Came aboard the steamer Lady
Franklin and registered my name fol
Nashville. Fare SIS. Found Capt.

morning-going through the canal
Steamer Diana, E. H. Fairchild, and
Baltic lying at New Albany fitted up
for hospitals, by being boarded up from
the lower to the upper deck. Laid al
Cannelton over night. Saw the Grey
Eagle and judging from her trip Capt
HUTsINPILLER must be making money
13th.-Nothing Of Importance to-day
Run to Shawneetown and laid over un.
til the morning of the
14th.-Arrived at SmithIand and
found Cumberland River booming
coaled and run 10 miles above the
mouth OF the river and laid up. A
death occurred on board the boat to-
day. Rev. j. n. DILLE Chaplain oI
Chicago regiment, had been home on
sick leave and was now on his return
to his post Of duty;: became worse after
coming on board at Louisville and died
to-day, having been inse.sible for the
past twenty-four hours. Everything
was done for him that could be. DR..
SHIPLEY of Louisville and the ladies oI
the Sanitary Commission were uncea.
sing in their exertions to save him. Il
was sad affair and cast gloom over
all on board.
15th.-Reached Fort Donaldson thi:
evening. News Of rebel raid op the
Cumberland River reached us here.--
Three steamers (Parthenia, Charter
and Tyro) and one Gunboat fSidell'
captured and burned at the foot O
Harpeth Shoals. Poor prospect ahead
for our getting up. Officer in com.
mand at this post expresses doubts, a.
to our getting to Clarksville.

and find twenty-five steamers and two
gunboats lying here. dreading the triI
to Nashville. Com. STURGIss in com
mand of the fleet. He decides to Law
over here until tomorrow morning and
start at four O'Clock. Rosecrans need:
supplies; this feet has them and it must
go through even il it has to run the
gauntlet of rebel ball and shell. A
scout just in from Harpeth Shoals re.
ports the rebels still at the shoals and
firing across the river at our pickets.--
Rebels reported in. the woods opposite
this place (Clarksville) and our artil-
lery are now shelling the woods. The
gunners evidently understand their bu
siness as every shell is thrown with re-
markable exactness and precision. By
means of glass saw some of the devils
on horseback riding along the edge Of
the woods. Our pickets reported driv-
en- in. Ii the rebels come they will
meet with warm reception. We 90

FITz JOHN PORTER.


The findings and sentence Of the
court martial in the case Of Fitz John
Porter have been approved by the
President and made public at "a late hour
this evening. Porter is found guilty
of every charge which General Pope
had preferred against him. He is dis
missed from the service be has dis
honored and betrayed. The result is
not generally known in the city yet,
and little can therefore be said of the
impression it makes. Porter's friends,
however, will be utterly coufeunded.
They professed to believe implicitly in
his acquittal. and gave positive an
nouncements to the same effect in WASH
inetou and Philadelphia. Papers had
led the public at large to the same be-
lief. The effect on Pope's reputation,
on the other hand. will be equally
marked. A member of the court
martial said on the evening il itadjourned.
that be believed Pope's campaign be-
fore Washington had been the most
brilliant one Of the war.

SENATOR WADE RE-ELEcTED.-We

ton of Senator Wade, yesterday. by
the handsome Union majority oftwenty-
four-tbe largest majority given TO any
Senator in this State for many years, II
not the largest at any time. The cleo

feeling of the people of Ohio toward the
rebellion, and as determined advocate
and supporter Of that vigorous prose-
cution Of the war for the restoration OF
the Union, which the Union party was
formed to support. This election faith

A SPECIMEN OF DEMOCRATIC VIEDI-
CATION OF THE CIVIL AUTHoRITY.-Iti is
freely avowed by the New York Demo-
cratic journals and public meetings that
the intention OF their riot in the hall Of
the General Assembly is to prevent the
election Of Senator during this term
The New York World has the shame
lessness to justify this purpose. and the
means by which the Democrats are try
ing to carry it out. The dregs Of the
vice Of New York city are vomited into
the hall of the Legislature at Albany,
to control its action. The Empire State
is turned bottom up. The Penitentisry
is placed over The State House; and the
Representatives Of nearly four millions
of people are holding sessions uRder the
brutal threats and obscene yells OF a
few hundred OF the vilest rascals OF the
city. marshaled and paid by traitors.
This is The supremacy Of the civil au-
thorily, and the vindication Of the
majesty Of law and Of the sovereignty
OF the State. that Governor Seymour
promised - Gin Gazette, 25d

~Gov. Cannon, of Delaware, sent
in his inaugural message to the Legis-
latuye, in which he fires solid shot,
shell. and every. kind Of Union shot,
into the rebel cause. His message is
in striking contrast to that of Gov.
Seymour, the Democratic Governor oil
a free State. One such Cannon is
worth host of such blunderbusses and
shot-guns as are now daily engaged in
"6ring the Northern heart" as theil
Southern friends, fancey & Co., did
in the South prior to the outbreak OF
the rebellion. His views on the Eman-
cipation question are patriotic and sound
and would bring the blood of shame
on the cheek of Northern traitors who
are everywhere bowling about mig
gers, =" if that faculty had not long since
been lost by utter abandonment of every
patriotic principle.

Mr.. JANE, HARPER.-DEAR SIR Il
would like to give you and your readers
a description Of the battle, which have
lately witnessed. But it is impossible
for me to go into details, and will only
attempt to tell you few things which
know, and what l saw. The fight
opened on the 30th, with lively sharp
shooting all along our lines, but no gen.
eral engagement until Wednesday morn.

were wounded on Tuesday, and placed
in our division hospital, nearly a mile
in our rear. / spent Tuesday night in
dressing wounds at said hospital, and
early on Wednesday morning started
to the regiment to act as field surgeon,
and whea / had gone half a mile l met
thousands Of McCook's men retreatiug
from the right to our left--passing just
in the rear of Neagly's division, and
being hotly pursued by the enemy. l
saw much of this retreat, and God
knows that never before saw any
thing like it; not even imagined or bad
the least conception of what the word
skedaddle meant. 1t means horrors
beyond description. Just imagine a
thousand wagons, ambulances, and
the like. mixed up with thousand
panic stricken soldiers, throwing away
their arms and accoutrements, running
like mad; wagons breaking down or
getting janmed into each other, with

Gen. Dix ..On to Richmond.n

From the Richmond ENG uirer, une 30.1
The appearance of portions Of Gen. Dix's
command at the White House and other points
on he peninsula has been, in our opinion q
fortunate circumstance. 1t has recalled the
thoughts OF our people from the ayocations of
trade and money-making to the real business
of every man during the continuance OF this
Wharf.-The defense Of this city. As soon as It
was definitely ascertained that a Federal force
OF any importance had disembarked at the
White House, The citizens of Richmond, almost
TO man, left business OF every kind and or.
ganiZed themselves into companies, battalions
regiments and brigades, selected Off GERS, re-.
ceiyed arms and ammunition, and ascertained
their places of rendezvous and their positions
In the defepses of the city The first real ac-
tual appeara nee of the enemy accomplished In
one day more than all the proclamations of
the authorities would have accomplished in g.
month. a force OF from {, 600 to 10000 fighting
men has thus been added to the army corps
that now garrisons Richmond
This was not the most service rendered the
Confederacy by the opportune appearance of
Gen. Dix. Brigades'and divisions which had
been, as il were, lying around loose, have been
concentrated at Richmond, ready to meet Dix
should he advance. as we'll as to follow qui ok
upon his track should he attempt cross march
to Fredericksburg and Aqua creek, on his way
10 reinforce Hooker.
That army that now gdrrIsons Richmond is
competent TO meet the enemy; nay, more, to
advance towar DIS Washington, and play an
important part in the capture of that place.
Gen. Dix will be SO closely and yigilantly
watched as to be unable to dodge off in the d.
rectlon OF the upper Pamunky. His present
position is enc OF safety; protected by gunboats,
and contiguous to his transports, he will not,
We presume, be attacked by the garrison of
Richmond, though the military lately OF ganized
by Brig. Gen. GUSTS Lee is fully competent to
defend the city if the garrison should be sent
TO drive Dix to his transports.
