The following dispatch has been re-
ceiyed 1.-The camp on White River, three
miles north Of the Agency. October 18th,
via Raxiins = This afternoon General
Merritt and his command returned to this
point, the orders from Washington being
to suspend operations against the Utes, and
to await orders either at White River or
Bear River. as negotiations for peace are in
progress, it being understood that the hos
tiles have agreed to surrender the warriors
engaged in the late ~depredat:ons. 1t is
probable that the combined commands OF
Merritt and Gilbert will remain for the
present at this point, although nothing
Is known as to future movements in the
event Of peace being established 1t is al
together probable that a permanent mill
tary post will be constructed either at Bear
River or the Agency"
Plain Language from an Army
Oaieer.
WASHINGTON, October IS.
As has been generally understood since
the PRONUNCIATION of the findings OF the
Schofield Commission in the Fitz-Jobn
Porter case, the fact that Porter's dis
patches to General Burnside we're made
public by the latter has much, il not every
thing, to do with Porter's conviction.
Porter, regarding his dispatches to Burn
side as private, was much freer in his com-
ments on Pope than if he had supposed
they were TO be given out. Gen. Frank
lin, Commander Of the Sixth Army Corps,
has written a letter on the subject to an
old army friend, in which be uses language
calculated to prompt Gen. Burnside to de-
mand an explanation. He says: The late
Developments in the Porter Gaze show how
dangerous it is to trust a fool, however well
meaning a fellow he may be. Porter's dis
patches to Burnside we're friendly missives.
and whatever he said about Pope was in
tended doubtless for his own eye only"
Gen. Franklin continues: Nobody but a
fool could have looked upon them in any
other light, and it was the height Of folly,
indeed Of knavery, for Burnside to have
transmitted them to Washington" Gen.
Burnside is fUssy, but he is courageous.
He gave the lie direct to Senator Conkling
in Executive session last winter, and his
friends here say he will certainly call Gen.
Franklin to account for his language.
