GEN. FlTZ JOHN PORTER.

10 The Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
Sin: The Post and Mail OF this evening has
IN attack on Gen. Fitz John Porter, which
slora Two things, and two only: malice and ig-
uorauco.
From beginning to end there is not one word
of fact in it and the writer is not only ignorant
Of the truth regarding Porter, but Of the posi-
ticn Of the army and Pope's power. Tho seizing
Of tie pen "by Pope to order Gen. Porter shot
on the field" is only equaled by Popes celebrated
order announcing his headquarters in his
saddle This melodranatio incident is in keep
ing with the whole article.
Why is it, Mr. Editor, it Pope'b case is go

ardent Pap1l worshipers arc 30 tight"

opportunity to receive simple Justice? Ii con-
yiction then wss just one, why fear the OPEN
ing Of the case now ?
THE ouly roply pope's advocates can give to
that query is, " It il done. and Gen. Porter got

why they oppose it.:
f'irs.-Tkat false testimony against Gen. Por-

Second-That Testimony in hie favor was with

Where Pope has defender among the regular

The scholars of this district deserve
much praise for their good department in
the school room. The bad practice of
whispering without permission from the
teacher seldom occurs. We also praise
them for their kind affection they have for
one another. They seem to have great
interest in one anothers' welfare. This
is very gratifying to the teacher and o
course makes teaching much more pleas
ant.
The parents that have been cooperating
with US have our sincere thanks. W.
earnestly request all to visit the schoo
during the winter term. This would Ger
tainly add much to the interest of tn
! school. TEACHER.

RibIe SERVICE.

EDS. HERALD: Rev. Mr.. Sawyer made a
little innovation up on the regular service
at the Baptist Church, last Sunday morn

large Bible class, and with them, studied
the Scripture which was the Sunday
school lesson of the day. 1t was instruct-
i've and profitable. Would it not be we'll
to substitute this mode of teaching, for a
regular sermon occasionally?

what could be done toward raising the
balance of our quota for the road.
Jas. Straley was called to the Chair, and
the representatives of the local press
present, appointed Secretaries.
Col. Yeoman stated the object of the
meeting, and said that Xenia had her

Washington was short between $4,000
and $4,000.
Arrangements were made for large del
