A Coon CHARACTER.-T There is moth
ing which adds so much to the beauty and
power of man as a good moral character.
1t is his wealth, his influence, his life. 1t
dignifies him in every station, exalts him in
every condition. and glorifies him in every
period of life. Such character is more to
be desired than anything else on earth. 1t
makes a man free and independent. No
servile tool, no treacherous honor-seeker,
ever bore such character. If young men
but knew how much good character would
dignity and exalt them, how glorious it
would make their prospects, even in this
life, never should we find them yielding to
the grovelling and base-born purposes OF
human nature.-Er.

LOVE Your MoTHER.-Next to the love
of her husband, nothing so crowns woman S
life with honor as this second love, the de
votion of the son to her. And | never yet

by falling in love with his mother. Any
man may fall in love with fresh-faced girl
and the man who is gallant TO the girl may
cruelty neglect the poor and weary wife
But the big boy who is lover of his mother
at middle age is true knight, who vii
love his wife as much in the sere-leaf au
tumn as he did in the daisied spring. There
is nothing so beautifully chivalrous as tn,
love of big boy for his mother Christian

CAMP sHERpAN, Oct. IL.
Col. Thornburgh and his command
reached the Running Water, about 40
miles northeast of here, this morning,
and camped there 1t is thought that the
expedition will disband at this point,
and the officers and men are not at all
sorry. They were led a wild chase
through perfect desert, uninhabited
by man or beast, and lacking water.
The saddest misfortunes began befall-
ing the troops at the North Platte,
where the wagons quicksanded. The
soldiers took two days rations on horse
back and started forward. In a short
time the ignorance of the scouts as to
the country was apparent They led
the troops blindly and the Indians fire.
quently enticed them on a false scent.
Mauck's command was met. 1t had
conflict with the Indians, who were
entrenched in semi circle rifle pits.
They poured in u heavy fire on the
troops and drove them off.
On Sunday the men ran out Of water
and rations and suffered terribly from
thirst. Next day the sand hills of Ne
braska were reached. Here the sand
was ankle deep, and the troops on foot.
who discarded their horses, had terri
BILE march. The wind carried the sand
in clouds and blinded the horses and
their riders. A march of over As miles
without water ensued and there was
only a meagre supply of hard tack and
bacon. During Tuesday, portion of
Cartons command was struck. Still
another portion got lost in the dreary
wilds and some perished.
At every step the Indians out-gener-
aled their pursuers. They were per-
fectly familiar with the country, and
purposely led the troops into out-of-the-
way places. Besides, the expedition
started so suddenly that it was not
properly fitted up for such a wild chase.
The troops are detected looking set
and the poor horses are weak and half
furnished.

THE most important testimony yet
given in the hearing of Fitz John Port
er was that of Gen Mcdowell, Thurs
day. Counsel for Porter asked Mellow
ell whether his opinion of Porter's con-
duct hadn't changed since the first
hearing, owing to testimony as to the
force in front of him. Mcdowell re-
fused at first to answer, but finally ad-
mitted that If Porter had ascertained
that the force in front of him was
twice as great as he (McDowelD sup
posed when he took away King and
left him, 1t would change his opinion as
to Porter's duty in the matter. 4

had always regarded the withdrawal
of Ricketts, and King on the 28th as a
great misfortune, and that it involved
an entire change of the plans Of the
campaign, and prevented continued
separation of the two bodies of the
enemy, and this withdrawal was made
without his knowledge or orders. He
took King away with him from Porter
on the 29th, and after viewing the
situation. When he left he thought
Porter would be engaged in an hour
with the enemy, and he would get
around to the right and join Reynolds.
After some discussion over the ques-
tion as to whether he expected Porter
at that time, he said he expected him,
being alone and in command to exercise
his best discretion as a soldier.
With reference to his dispatch to
Siegel. of the 9th of August, begin
ming: "Longstreet with large force
is being expected TO come through
Thoroughfare gap," he said it was
first made public on the 7th of jan
uary, 1868, and counsel then stated
that it would have been of Importance
to Porter on his trial, evidence in
which had been closed the previous
day. e
An extract from Stonewall Jackson s
report, which speaks of the ''impetuous
and rapaotaI o,,eato,, of %ho ,,,;o,
troops on the Both of August, witness
said he had no doubt referred to Por-
ter's corps.
In answer to the questions by the
court, Gen. Mcdowell said the idea of
crushing jackson before Longstreet
could arrive, was the object of concen-
trating the army, and that after the
withdrawal Of Ricketts, and King, on
the 2Sth of August, he did not have
Longstreet's movements in his mind.
Three dispatches from Porter, men,
TONED yesterday, were then read. The
first asks for news and says he has re.
ceived no word from any one. The
second, addressed to Mcdowell and
King, says he had a strong force in his
front and feared he might have to re.
tire. The third dispatch, dated p.
M, says he ''has still no message from
anyone" that he has no more couriers
to send out, that his men are in need
of food and water, and by its terms
shows the non receipt of the 4:3O p. m.
order. Mcdowell was then dismissed
and recess taken.
The next witness was quickly dis
posed of. Gen. Shriever merely said
he was chief of McDowell's staff, and
was at Porter's front on the Goth, but
made no observations as to the enemy.
Gen. John q. Robinson had command
in Kearney's division and testified as
to the character of the actions of the
29th of August.
Col. r. r. Dawes, of Marietta, Ohio,
Gen. Joseph B. Carr, of New York,
and Maj. Deem, of Baltimore, gave
similar testimony. Gen. George w.
Mindill, of Philadelphia, was the next
witness: He was Gen. Kearney's
assistant, and adjutant general in the
campaign, and gave corroborative evil
dence- as to the events of the Goth.
