THE President has at last been persuaded
to order re-hearing in the case of Gen.
Fitz John Porter, General Porter Pounds his
claim for reopening the case upon three new
points. he insists that it Is now known that
General Longstreet had arrived in force at an
early hour upon the ground which Porter
was ordered to occupy at much latter time
in the day, when it was impossible to execute
the order. In regard to this point General
Pope's friends reply that 1t Is known with
certainty that General Longstreet did not
reach this point until afternoon. Secondly,
General Porter now asserts that the known
strength Of General Longstreet was such a
to make 1t impossible to stand against him
he claims to be able to show that a move
ment of portion of his force from the front
of his line late in the day was such as to
cause General Longstreet to withdraw
considerable part OF his force from the front
OF his line directly opposed to General Pope.
thing which proved of great assistance to
the latter. This point has been inquired in
to by General Pope's friends and they de.
clare that the force which executed this di-
vision was brigade of General Banks COM
mand. General Porter has lately visited the
field of the second battle of Bull Run for the
purpose of fixing the locality Of this move
ment. but those who reside there, and who
were acquainted with the military move
ments at the point indicated, agree that they
were by force having no connection with
General Porter's column. General Pope's
friends assert that an inspection of the
ground will show that the position reached
by Longstreet early in the day is a quite diff
ferent one from that where General Porter
