eussed two poins-whethes there was a

whether there vas any force in front Of
Porter on that day. He declared that from
5000 10 LOCO men we're killed and wounded
on the 18th of August, and not more than
two pieces of artillery and q small force of
cavalry faced Porter. Logan believed that
POrser's dislovalty to his officers in COM
mand had led to the disasters of the 29th,
aud TO the defeat Of the 30th, in which we
lost 5000 men and 40 large guns. He
quoted testimony 10 prove that Porter said
to the court-mxrtisl stenogrspher: well,

that" Mcclellan had written three days
