ANS had been placed in command of the
defences eff Washington that morning by a
verbal order.
QUEsT.-Can you recall the hour at which
on the following day order was sent General
Pope to tall back within the defences of Wash
ington2
ANs.-The order did not emanate from me,
but my recollection is that it was sent at a
very early hour on the morning of Sept. 3D.
QuEsT.-Did or did not the execution of
that order necessarily place the forces of Gen.
rope himself under your command?
ANS was directed not to assume any
command over the active troops commanded
by Gen. Pope till they reached the immediate
Vicinity OF ashington. was expressly ex-
cluded from all control over them till then,
QuEsT'-Dld the president in his converse
ton with you with respect to sending this dis
patch, express any apprehension growing out
of any unkind feelings of the army of the
Potomac, or on the part of several officers?
GEN. HITCHCoCK.-Is it necessary to 90
into that point, Mr.. President? l rather think
not.
Mr.. JOHNSON, counsel.-We do not object
to it, sir.
Gen. Hitchcock insisting on his objection,
the judge advocate withdrew the question
The following questions were then propound-
ed by the court: =
QUEsT.-At what time did Gen. Porter re-

GEN. KING-One moment. l do not see
any necessity for that question, Mr. president.
GEN. HrTcHCoCK-I do not see the con-
nection OF the question with the proceedings
Of this court.
GEN. CAsEY-If there is no objection, l
withdraw the question, as l have no particular
desire to push it.
MIR. JOHNSON, c0unsel.-As this question
was put by the court, and some of its MEM
bers may have an impression that the witness
has feelings unfriendly to Gen. Pope, it is due
to him that he should be allowed to answer
that question.
The PREs1DENT-Ob Objection has been raised
and the question withdrawn.
GEN. HUNTER-When the accused was max

HORGAN'S RAID IN KENTUCKY.
HE HAS VERY BAD LUCE

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 1.-The guerrilla Morgan
crossed the Cumberland river and cut off
Nashville at Gainesboro', and appeared in
front of Mumfordsville, KY, on the 9th of
December. Col. Hobson of the 18th Ken
lucky drove part of his force, killing nine and
capturing sixteen. Morgan then crossed
Green river above Mumfordsville, and moved
in the direction of Elzabethtown, burning the
bridge at Beaver Creek and Nolin. He also
destroyed the trestle work at Middraughs
Hill, and moved for Rolling Fork. Col. Har-
Ian, commanding the 10th Kentucky, over
took him at Rolling Fork and attacked him,
killing and wounding number, and captur-
ing a captain and some privates. The rebel
Col. Dull died of his wounds, as also did one
of our leutenants of artillery. Col. Harlan
crossed, pursued, and attacked Morgan at Roll
ing Fork and Salt river bridge.
This is the first instance, l believe, of in
fantry attacking and routing cavalry. Nor
gan fled before Harlan to Bardstown, and
from there attempted to escape between Leb-
anon and Camp Belleville. Col Haskins of
the 18th Kentucky, commanding there, at
tackled him this morning, killing number
and capturing 80 of his men and his caissons
and ammunition wagons. Morgan is flying
precipitately. Gen. Reynolds marched from
Glasgow yesterday for Greensburg, and may
intercept him. Col. Hulsey, of the 9th Ken
lucky cavalry, was killed. Our casualties
are not yet reported. Morgan has paid dearly
for what he has done. Gen. Rosecrans occu-
pies Murfreesboro.

Gov. seymour's Inauguration.

ALBANY, Jan. 2.-The inauguration of Gov,
Seymour took place yesterday at the state
house In the presence of large concourse of
citizens and strangers.
GOV. MoRGAN's ADDRESS
After the oath of office had been admins
tered, Gov. Morgan, who appeared at the
speakers desk in company with his successor,
delivered an interesting congratuatory adj
dress, calling his attention to the highly pros
porous condition of the state over which he
had been called to preside, and closing with
some pertinent illusions to the state of our
national affairs. The millions of people he
said, who are now aroused by imaginary
wrongs to fierce passion, cannot at once re-
turn to reason, their resentment must have
time to cool, and the deluson under which
they are acting to be dissipated; but the day
must surely come when the people of the
south will again own the same sovereignty for
the same laws, and fight under the same flag.
AT present we must use the sword 1t can
not be sheathed until those who are now in
rebellion shall lay down their arms, and the
constitution and the laws have uniform SWAY.
At the conclusion of Gov. Morgan's address,
which was warmly applauded, Gov. Seymour
delivered his inaugural address. Gov. Sey-
mour declined to give copy of his address to
the reporter TOR the associated press, as he
wishes an opportunity to revise it before he
committed it to print.
GOV. sEYMoUR'S SPEECH.
Gov. Seymour thanked Gov. M for the
kind expression of his good wishes, and con-
graduated him on the1able close of his admin
istration. Gov. Seymour then said: 81 have
solemnly sworn to support the constitution of
the United States, with all its grants, restric-
tons, and guarantees, and L shall support it.
have also sworn to support the constitution
OF the United States in all its powers and
rights; | shall uphold it. 1 have sworn to
support the duties of the office of governor of
the state, and with your aid they shall be faith
tullyperformed. These constitutions and laws
are meant for the guidance of our official con-
duct, and for your protection and welfare.
The first law recorded tor my observance is
that declaring it to be the duty of the govern
or to maintain and defend the sovereignty and
jurisdiction of the state. The most strict in
junction of the constitution is that the govern
ment shall take care that the laws are faith
fully executed; and, so help me God they
shall be. He would not dwell, on the present
occasion, upon our national affairs. Our po-
sition as state has been happily alluded to
by my predecessor. My views on the subject
will be laid before the legislature. While
knowing that his position gave him little con-
troll over national affairs, he (Seymour) ven
tured to trust, that before the end of his term
of service the country would be great, glori-
Gus, and united, as it once was.

As il was and is.

A Nashville correspondent OF the New
York Times gives the subjoined account Of
the Southern Methodist Pu5lshiDg-house in
Nashville, both as it was and as it is:
Right opposite Mr.. Berry's on the east side
of the square, is the Southern Methodist Pub
clearinghouse. This was once somewhat
famous institution but looks forlorn Ad woe
begone enough now The building is plain
and unpgetending, but with ample capacity for
carrying on efficiently tie varied operations
of the house, when in the full meridian of Its
success. In that palmy day it had its Quar-
terly Review, its Home Circle and Sunday
School Visitor, and its Nashville Christian
Advocate, a weekly religious paper. Its
corps of editors for the batch, were Rev. Drs.
McFerrin, McPier, Somers and Huston, all
vehemently secesh, and Of course all evanish-
ing amid the storm which burst upon Nash
vile on the fall of Donelson. In fact, tie

10 the bitterness of its hatred to the Ution,
and in its fierce zeal to prop up the rebellion.
The publishing house therefore, its guiding
and supporting mind departed stands as Swift
in his gloomy decadence stood driveer and
show. Its long rows of books are there,
many of the volumes being choice and valua-
ble-its eight printing presses, one OF them
cylindrical, half printed edition of the New
Testament on the forms the whole apparatus
fer pressing, binding, etc, remains just as the
editors and workmen deserted them. A suit
at law to test the treason of the conductors
of the Advocate, involving of course that of
the establishment, is to be had before the prop
erty will BIZ disturbed. The question is inter
estipg, as its decision must be important.
Meanwhile the tabooed house keeps open by
day, wearing sorrowful air that seems to 60
licit the passers sympathy.
