rsie Fi:x John Porter Case.
WEST POINT, July 12.-At Fitz
John Porter's former trial ono of
the charges depended for support
upon the proposition that General
Pope's dispatch of the fourth day
afternoon, ordering Porter to at
tack, was delivered by five O'clock.
Porter answered that 1t arrived be-
tween six and seven, which was
too late to admit of its execution.
John L. Loechman, an old resi-
dent OF the neighborhood, who was
Gen. Lees guide at the time and
knows the ground thoroughly, now
testifies that If Pope's messenger
rode at the utmost speed over the
route described by him, it was q
physical impossibility to reach
Porter until after six.
Gen. Warren being recalled, EN-.
phatically denounced the maps re-
lied upon at the original trial as
grossly inaccurate. He disputed,
also, the theory of the prosecution,
that Porter knew that a general
fight was going on during the 29th,
without offering to participate and
showed that the elevation of the
country between Porter and Pope's
positions was so great that Porter
could have seen so sign Of battle il
there had been one.
General Chauncey McKeever, OF
Heintzleman's corps. confirmed
Porter's statements as to the bad
condition of the roads, which rem
dered the movement of Porter's
troops impossible en- the
morning of the 30th. He also con-
firmed the testimony Of several
witnesses denying that there was a
heavy battle on the Goth, as re-
ported by Pope when he charged
that Porter failed to come to his
aid. General Scofield, President Of
the Board, questioned the witness
closely on this point, who replied
in substance, that there was more
or less fighting all the afternoon of
that day, all of 1t occurring after
the attack on Siegel in the morn
ing. Altogether there was four en-
gagements, not simultaneously,
but about an hour apart, or not
over 5000 men in each. There was
very little firing after p. M. and
in the evening none at all. POpe's
dispatch of the 30th Of August, to
Halleck, had said we fought a ter
rife battle here yesterday with the
combined forces Of the enemy,
which lasted with continuous fury
from daylight until after dark, by
which time the enemy was routed
from the field. McKeever, In de-
failing what he termed the desulto-
ry attack on that day, said that
Hooker sent one brigade into the
woods and 1t was repulsed, then
there was an attack just after to the
left of General Growers position.
General Kearney made one attack
with not more than 5000 men.
General Scofield asked witness if
the fire was like heavy musketry
by line and continuous.
He replied that it was So only in
one case, that of Growers, where
there was a full fire of the infantry
line and General Grover lost over
half of his command.
Col. Charles Marshal, cne of Lee $
aides, testified that twelve rebel
brigades marched through Thor.
oughfare Gap on the 2Sth of Au-
gust and one the next morning,
thus confirming Porter's statement
that the main body of the rebel
army was in his front when Pope
supposed only its flank was there
attacked. He also described how
different portions of the rebel force
were hagrassed and thus held In
check and prevented from concen-
tration against Pope. This witness
exploded Lees original report of
the second Bull run battle and tes-
titled that Lee did not make an at
tack on the Goth because Long
street advised against it. He also
denied positively Pope's official
statement that there was a general
battle on the Goth. There was some
artillery firing and Hood had Sc
we're fight, but it did not become
general.

cesslon in the face of receiving pro-
lection from the authorities. They
