Charges Agatns, General Pnp~.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-General
John Gibbon, of the army, has pre-.
ferred charges against General
Pope for conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman. The spec
ifications against Pope are based
ON the publication years ago of
what he entitled IA Brief State
ment of the Case of Fitz. John Por-
ter" containing an extract from
Stonewall Jacksol's report of the
military operations Of the 3Oth of
August, 1862. This date was
changed to the Goth, to the serious
damage of Porter, by reason of its
connecting with one date events
which actually occurred on anoth-
er. Gen. Mcdowell has recently
admitted under oath that he fur
nished the extract to Pope and sub.
sequently was notified of the error
of date, but he did not think 1t
necessary to make any correction
of the mistake, although he un-
derstood 1t worked an Injustice TO
Porter. Another witness, Col. H.
Z. Smith, testified on the Porter
inquiry that he called Pope's atten-
ton to the error, notwithstanding
which Pope continued there after to
circulate the pamphlet without
making the correction. This is the
gravamen OF Gibbons charges,
which will not be pressed until
after the pending Porter inquiry is
concluded. The case excites much
interest among army officers, es.
specially in view of the natural in
ference that, If the charge
Is sustained against Pope, it
must be against Mcdowell also,
neither of them having attempted
to undo the wrong to Porter by cor.
recting their own error. One pur-
pose in calling Pope as a witness
before the Porter inquiry appears
to be to get him to reconcile his de-
NAL that he was Porter's real pros
ecutor with his report of the cam
paign, In which be said that, hav-
ing now brought Porter to justice,
he took leave of military affairs in
Virginia.
