General Porter.

A letter from Washington says cit is
the impression that General PORTER was
convicted by only one majority" We be-
lieve, with the JourWM Of Commerce, that
a Drawer or better man than Frz JOHN
PORTER, more gallant soldier, more
faithfal patriot, we do not believe exists in
the Army of the Union. Foremost in
battle, sage in council, fierce as lion in
the hour of war, the accomplished gentle
man and faithful friend in the hour of
peace, he is model soldier and noble
man. The United States owes him debt
of infinite gratitude for his brave deeds, his
arduous labor, his unfinching devotion to
the cause OF the Union. That debt will
be paid one day, if he lives, and we who
defend the Union live to see the old glory
restored Saying thus much, let us pass
on to the next step in the road OF ruin, on
ly warning each other to stand firm by the
foundations, and be ready for the day of
rebuilding, when they who now tear down
shall step aside and permit us to save the
fragments. 9 fJs f..,i '+ i.3. 'a z

for a survey Of the
Minnesota and Red Rivers.

On Thursday, 2Sth ult., Senator RICE,
by direction Of the Military Committee,
and also by consent of the Committee on
Public Lands, offered an amendment to
the Army Appropriation Bill, providing
for a survey of the Minnesota River and
the Red River of the North, with view
to improve the navigation of each, and to
connect the same by a canal, and appro-
priating fire thousand dollars to be ex-
pended under the direction of the Secreta-
ny of War. The amendment was adopted
unanimously. If this great improvement
is carried out-and those who have had
the best opportunity for acquiring informal
ton on the subject declare it is perfectly
feasible canal to unite the waters of
the Saskatchewan with the Pacific, cannot
long be delayed. There are many who be-
lieve water communication across the
continent will he opened before the Pacific
Railroad is completed.
AS the project of uniting the Minnesota
and the Red River of the North, has at
tracted much attention, it is proper to say
that the suggestions of its feasibility and
Importance first came from Hon. JOSEPH
Il. BROWN.

E'ilc Senatorial Question.

After six ballotings for United States
senator, the joint session of the Missouri
Legislature has taken a recess until the first
Monday in February. Six candidates have
been voted for, five of whom are favorable
to emancipation and the most vigorous
possible prosecution of the war. B. GRAFT
Brown, the sturdiest of all Missouri's
champions OF freedom, has thus far COM
manded the greatest amount of strength on
the several votes, but, owing to ditferen-
ces among enancipationists, has failed to
obtain majority of the whole number of
votes.
The Missouri Democrat gives the fol-
lowing account of the nativity and occu-
pations of the members of the present
legislature of that state:
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1863-02-06

Sixty-eight members are farmers, thirty
are lawyers, fourteen merchants, twelve
physicians, six editors, three teachers, two
report for each of the following employ
ments; nurseryman, trader" printer and
contractor; and one for each of the fol-
lowing: engineer, carpenter, horse-trainer,
clerk, saddler, manufactures, pattern ma
ker, miller, real estate dealer, steamboat
man, justice OF the peace, wagonmaker,
postmaster, mechanic, blacksmith, "busi-
ness man. artist, minister and barber.
Twenty-three Of the members are native
Missourians, it seems, ninety-one are ma
tives of other slave states, and only fifty
are natives of free states, with three 9TH
ers foreign born. One hundred and four
teen of the one hundred and sixty-seven
are thus born in slave states.
1t is somewhat singular that, with so
large German population as Missouri has,
there are but two Germans in the present
legislature

An ssEpiccneo Chairman.

The Press, Of Sunday, in an attempt to
he severe on the Hon. DWIGHT WOODBURY.,
speaks of him as the "epicene " President
of the Republican printing caucus. We
have 10 doubt some cutting irony is in
volved in the expression, Or was designed
to be, though what it is We cannot divine.
Epicene means common to both sexes a."
and what kind Of a presiding officer of a
political caucus it is that is thus common
to both sexes" we don't exactly under
stand. We know it must be witty, and
learned, and profound, because it is after
ne style Of the Commissioner of Statistics !;
but yet we can't see the point and that's
what we want explained. -

Prospect OF an Indian War.

The Sioux City Register Of the 9th
inst says it has reliable information that
q general Indian war is in contemplation
on the opening of spring. The intelligence
comes directly from Fort Pierre and the
different Indian rendezvous Oh the Red
River of the North, Platte, and Upper
Missouri. Persons connected more Or less
with the Indians, and whose opportunities
for knowing are unquestioned, concur in
the representation that preparations for a
combined movement of all the principal
tribes are being made on an extensive
scale. The Register thinks the danger
imminent, and recommends that speedy
and vigorous measures be taken for de-
fence

Family of General Porter.

Honor and valor are in the very blood of
he condemned. His father was Captain
JoHN POTTER, brother of the gallant and
heroic Commodore DAVID PORTER. Capt.
POTTER served his country faithfully
through the war of 1912, and died at
Charlestown, Mass, while in command of
the Receiving Ship on that station, honor
ed by his nation, and beloved by all who
knew him. He left q widow and three
sons DAVID ST.. LEON, WILLIAM G. B. S.
and Frrz JOHN PORTER. DAVID was a
Lieutenant and died in his country's SER
vice at Vera Cruz, during the war with
Mexico; WILLIAM G. B. S. was a Lieuten-
ant in the Navy, and was lost in the Le-
want, leaving the present General PORTER
as the only member of the male branch of
a family which has been, through genera
tons, devoted to the public service; and
this last member, after presenting q record
of the most brilliant Notwithstanding
promotion upon promotion. for daring
deeds, professional accomplishments and
martial ability illuminating the history of
his country by his exploits, and honoring
and elevating his calling by his example
is at last crushed by such testimony as Civ
en- by General Roberts, and witnesses ac-
tuated by a like animus, and the plausible
sophistries and plastic graces of the Judge
Advocate! 60 -.

Fitx John Porter and His Per.
HeCutOrS.

The suspicious which existed at the time
of the assignment of the Court to try Gen.
Firz JOHN PORTER, that his disgrace was
foreordained, have been confirmed not
only by the outrageous finding of the Court,
as viewed in the light of the testimony,
but by all the incidents connected with the
trial, and following it.
Directly on the adjournment of the Court,
pamphlets were distributed in the Eastern
cities, giving all the testimony against
PORTER, but none of that in his favor.
The object Of such publications, and of
their universal and Sratuitous distribution,
could only have been for the purpose of
preparing the public mind for the unlocked
for verdict which was to follow. The Bos-
ton Adrertiser, the leading Republican
journal of New England, notices the APP
pearance of these pamphlets, scattered
broadcast in that city, before the verdict
was publicly announced, and denounces
the evident attempt to forestall public
opinion against POTTER, by such means, as
a public scandal.
The course pursued by Judge Advocate
HOLT, subsequent to the trial. is subject
ing him to severe and meritel criticism.
Against precedent. and all professional
courtesy and MISUNDERSTANDING his
official relations to the Government and
the accused,-he prepared for the eye of
the President, what purports to be re-
view of the testimony of the case. So far
from this being so, his paper was most
partial, and unjust, though able argument
against PORTER; wherein every thing that
bears against POTTER is referred to, with
full credence, and nearly everything that
was presented in his favor, is either omit
ted, or changed with all the skill of an in
genious lawyer, from its legitimate signi-
ficance. This was the view of PORTER's;
case upon which the President formed his
judgment; and this paper is published
simultaneously with the Presidents order
of dismissal, as his Justification, and as a
fair abstract of the facts elected on the
trial.
The makeup Of the Court; the partial
character Of its proceedings; the steps
taken to prejudice the public mind against
PORTER the view of the case presented by
Judge Advocate Holt to the President to
influence his judgment; are all evidences
of the fact of a conspiracy against PORTER;
and, while these appliances have been sue
cessful in procuring a verdict against him,
and its approval by the President. they
have convinced the country that PORTER
was not criminal, but the victim of q vile
conspiracy. This belief, We are glad to
see, is seeking popular expression and
we notice that the city of New York,
through her Councils, proposes to give the
gallant and abused man the compliment of
public reception, and the freedom Of the
city. From other quarters, also, express
sions of sympathy are sent to the cashiered
General; until the indications are that the
victim of the tyrant STANTON will become,
as he ought to, the favorite of the people.

The First colored regiment Of Kansas

The First colored regiment Of Kansas
Volunteer infantry was mustered into the
service of the United States, at Fort Scott,
on the 18th inst, by Major 7. j. Weed,
Assistant Acting Adjutant General. After
the forms of mastering were concluded,
the Major made speech to his colored
brother soldiers, in which he told them
they were henceforth to be forever free,
and that he trusted they would soon be-
come the model military organization of
the war. Since the regiment was formed
over four hundred have skedaddled, leav-
ing only four hundred and eighty on duty.

Sioux and WinnebagOes.
