The efforts to secure . new trial for Gen. Por-
ter arc gathering strength. Ths testimony OF
Loo and Longasreet completely clears him Of the
charge on which ho was caahiered, unleas tho
prosecution hAs something now to offer. That
testimony could not be taken during tho first
trial, when the War was still raging. It ts but
bare Justice to allow ita admission now. The
Fifth Army Corps. which Porter commanded up
to the time Of his trial, has resolved to make q
united effort to get Justice for their old General,
which they would hardly do il be we're traitor
or poltroou. A circular has been issued, which
we arc requested to publish, in order to put 1t in
tho hands OF old members Of the corps whose
present addresses are unknown to tho Commit
tee. It runs as follows:
s1n: 1t the last annual reunion Of the Army Of the
Potomac, tho Fifth CORPS resolved that m effort
should be made to secure the united action Of tho
corps IN m eudeavor to have tho now evidence that
was inaccesabe at the time Of tho trial brought for
ward and reearing secured In the caaa ot 0sn Etz-
