General john Gibbon, of the Army, has
preferred charges against General Pope
for conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman. The specifications against Pope
are based ON his publication years ago, of
what he entitled a brief statement Of the
case of Fitz-John Porter, containing an ex-
tract from Stonewall Jackson's report of
military operations of the 30th of August,
1862. This date was changed to 29th,
to the serious damage of Porter, by reason
Of its connecting with one date vents
which actually occurred on another. Gen.
Mcdowell has recently admitted, under
oath, that he furnished the extract to Pope,
and subsequently was notified of the error
of the date, but he did not think it neces-
sary to make my correction of the mis-
take, although he understood that it
worked injustice to Porter. Another wit
ness, Col. II. G. II. Smith, has testified ON
the Porter inquiry that he called Pope's
attention to the error; Notwithstanding
which. Pope continued thereafter to cir
culate the pamphlet without making the
correction. This is the substance of Glib
bon's charges, which will not be pressed
until after the pending Porter inquiry is
concluded. The case exoites much interest
among arny officers, especially in view of
the natural inference, that il the charge is
sustained against Pope, it must be against
Mcdowell also, neither of them having at
tempted to undo the wrong to Porter by
| correcting their own error. One purpose
of calling Pope as a witness before the
Porter inquiry, appears to be to get him to
reconcile his denial that he was Porter's
real prosecutor, with the statement of his
report of the campaign, that having now
brought Porter to notice, he took leave of
military affairs in Virginia.
