FITZ JOHN PORTER.
The Report in the FAVE John Porter Case.
Porter Restored to His Old Place
III the Army

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The military board
appointed to review the case of Fitz John
Porter has made long report completely ex-
onsratihg Porter and restoring him to his
old place In the army, such restoration to
take effect from the date Of dismissal. The
report says that Porter was condemned for
not having taken any part In his own battle.
1--WE believe not one among all gallant sol
diers on that bloody field was less de-
serving Of such condemnation than
he, but the indiHcret and unkind terms
in which Porter expressed his dstrust OF the
capacity of his superior commander cannot
be defended and TO that in1iscretion was due,
in great measure, the misrepresentation Of
both his motives and conduct, and his eonse-
guent condemnation. The report is signed by
Major Gen Schofeld, Brig. Gen. Terry and
Major Gen. Getty. The report has just been
promulgated It covers thirty printed pages
honor to report, In accordance with the Presl-
dents order, that In our opinion justice re-
qulres at his hands such action as may be
necessary to annul and set aside the findings
and sentence Of the cOurt-martal In the case
OF Major Gen. Fitz John Porter, and restore
him to the position Of which that sentence
deprived him, such restoration to take effect
from the date his dismissal from the service"
