The Case of Fitz John Porter.

There is now prospect that justice may
be done to Fitz John Porter. Unprecedented
men of all parties were shocked by the deci
sion of the court martial which dismissed
him from the service-a fact proven by the
request of such radicals as Senators Wilson,
Sherman, Harris, and Foster, supported by
Horace Greeley, General Banks, and Gov
Curtin, that the President will grant Gener-
al Porter a new trial.
Hs was unjustly condemned in the trial
resulting in his dismissal condemned in
contempt of evidence, on pettifogging opin-
ion given by Joseph Holt to President Lin
coin. The argument was reviewed and rid
died by Reverdy johnson. The latter prov
ed that it was impossible that Mr.. Lincoln
could have read the evidence, and proceed
ings, and opinion of Holt in the case. when
he approved the verdict of the court. The
character of Holt at that time was not
known. He had not then trafficked with
Conover for the commission of peri ury, or
shown himself to be the obsequions instru-
ment of Stanton. He had, however, sold
himself to radicalism, and Mr.. Lincoln knew,
before he required Hollis opinion in the
case. what that opinion would be.
A number of circumstances conspired to
make the condemnation of Porter necessary
to the administration. After the bloody
"Seven Days Battle in which Mcclellan
and his army of heroes fought double their
number of confederates, headed by Lee and
Stonewall jackson, Mcclellan and the army
of the Potomac were recalled from the PEN
insula, and the former was dismissed from
command and Pope placed in his stead
Then began the campaign ending with the
defeat of Pope, the rout of his army and its
return in the condition of mob to Washing
ton. Mr. Lincoln and his cabinet were seiz-
ed with CONSERVATION, and in their white liv-
cred fear turned to Mcclellan as the only
man who could save the capital and the ma
ton.
He took the defeated, disorganize, and de-
moralized army which Pope returned, and,
restoring it to order and to confidence in it's
commander, began the brilliant campaign
ending in the battles of Sharp's Mountain
and Antietam. The constrast between his
generalship and that of Pope was so sudden
and striking that it became necessary for the
president to answer for the responsibility he
had assumed in dismissing Mcclellan
Thousands of lives had been thrown away,
the capital of the nation placed in danger of
capture, and the national safety endangered
Mr.. Lincoln and those responsible for the
dismissal went to work to account for Pope's
defeat, and Pope went to work very earnest
ly In the same business.
Then 1t was ascertained that Porter had
disopeyed orders. Then it was ascertained
that Porter was friendly to Mcclellan, and

A GRAND RAILROAD ENTERPRIsE.


Nearly two years ago, charter was OBJ
tanned from the Illinois legislature for the
organization of tie Rockford, Rock Island,
Warsaw l. st. Louis Railroad Company,
empowered to contract a railroad on the gen.
eral route indicated BY the places thus
named. The project thus conceived was
held in allegiance until quite recently, but is
now certain of being carried forward to sue.
cessful completion. A contract was entered
into during the last week of August, between
the above named company and experienced
and responsible railroad builders, under
which the grading and tieing and the furn-
ishing and laying of the iron therefor, thro'-
out the entire length of the road, was fully
provided for. We were privileged to see
this contract as originally drawn up and
signed by the contracting parties, two weeks
ago, but as some important subordinate ne
potiations were then pending, we were not
permitted to make the facts public. This
contract was drawn up with great care, so
as to insure the early construction of the
road, beyond peradventnre. Every point
is therefore seduously guarded, so that the
contractors are compelled to push the work
forward, while on the other hand,
the railroad company will be prohibited
from suffering delinquency on the part of
its dictatorship under severest penalties.
This road is designed to start from Rock
ford, there connected with the road already
completed from that point to Kenosha, on
Lake Michigan, and thence follow down the
Rock River Valley to Sterling, where it will
intersect with the Chicago & Northwestern
line, thence, still following the river, to Rock
Island, and thence to Warsaw, and on to
East ST. Louis.
This route viii open up to Davenport and
Rock Island a new and direct route (uiG
Sterling) to Chicago-one shorter by nearly
thirty miles than that followed by the C. R.
I. & P. R. R.; will give direct connection
with lake port competing with Chicago in
many important particulars, and, when en-
tirely completed, will secure very desirable
road to St. Louis, 1t will, moreover, prove
OF lmIneHSe aUFdutaSe 10 the cOdt Deu re-
gions of Henry and Rock Island counties, in
Illinois, by opening a new market tor the
coal now greatly needed along the line of
the Chicago & Northwestern road.
This road viii be built and operated in
sections, beginning at Sterling, possibly at
Rockford also, and working toward Rock
Island then at Warsaw and thence north.
AS soon as ten miles of road are completed
rolling stock viii be put on and travel at
once commence.
Inasmuch as the new bridge to be erected
at Davenport win be open for all railroads
desiring to cross it, this new railroad line

1t is no local cause that has wrought the
great change in the popular opinion of
Maine, but the course Of extravaganza, cor
ruption, tyranny, and the general admins
trative incapacity of the radical party. The
people have taken alarm, too, at the multi
plying proofs of its revolutionary purposes.
They see that all the war is likely to end in
is the handing over of ten sovereign states
to negro rule, subordinated of course to
radical interests. And further still, it is
now plainly disclosed to them by the con-
fession of Thaddeus Stevens, the leader of
the radicals in congress, that that party has
taken its stand openly "outside of the con-
stitution," and intends to 60 on making laws,
proclaiming its purposes, and executing its
will with the aid of military power, until
there is little or nothing left of our republi
can freedom but its empty name. From
catastrophe like this the people shrink back
in alright. They turn and demand of the
men who have abused the power delegated
to them an explanation. This is not a
| mere party triumph, but something more it
| is an unmistakable judgment of the people,
without regard to party, on the usurpations
of the men in congress. 1t calls them to
the bar to make answer to the grave accuse
| tons brought against them. The repubh-
| can party itselfJoIns IN this demand. Large
| numbers of the men composing that organl-
| cation are at length aroused to the dangers
| that threaten our institutions, and refuse to
| go further on the road to common ruin.
They have been deuded by the hollow pro-
LESSONS of the leaders, and are now resolved
| to bring them to account. 1t is q popular
| rising in Maine as it was in California, to
rescue the Constitution and defend the
cause of the Union. We are not wholly lost
as nation, while the people are resolved to
retain supreme control Of public affairs.
The danger is in yielding to the blandish-
ments, and then to the threats and actual
power of unprincipled men, until they carry
us all to point from which return is out of
| the question 1t is true now, as it always
has been in the past, that eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty" No people can be
too jealous of the guardianship of their own
liberties. And generally, the men who
make extremely loud professions of their de-
votion to liberty, are to be distrusted in re-
spect of their sincerity.-Boston Post.

Horse Tanning 4 Training.
xhe Most Practical system known
in the World.
TESTIMONIAL.

Rock IsLlND, August u, 1867.
The undersigned, having witnessed an Exhi-
birfon of Capt. HI. G. Miles system OF breaking
and training colts and handling vicious and
tricky horses, take pleasure in adding this testi-
monial to the many which have been furnished
Capt. Miles elsewhere.
The theory on which his system is founded is
supported by common sense, and is practical and
affective. No one who has any occasion to han
die horses, OF whatever age disposition, can
fan to be benehtted by thorough understanding
of Capt. Miles system.
Its chief beauty is in the fact that everything
is done by gentleness and kind treatment-no
harshness or beating-no Rarey ropes to aggra-
vate or injure the horse. fsLA
Tie same principle is adopted in the training
of horses on the track, and experience has shown
it TO be as successful here in the first breaking
of the colt.
In our opinion Capt Miles syetem is superior
| to any We have seen attempted elsewhere. There
| is no humbug in it. 1t commends itself to the
| common sense of all who appreciate the noble
qualities of the horse.
