New York Star.
The proceedings in the United States
S nate on Monday week will do much to
allay the popular apprehension and con
Germ. An impression has undoubtedly
prevailed that our Senators were in no
mood for trihing. They were thought to
be seeming the battle from afar-to be
combining and scheming; and their angry
growls and mutterings were said to be
omlnous of the strife to come. Il is
cheerful, then, to read of the lest that
has passed and the laughter that has soft
ened. Senators Morrill, and Conger are
to be congratulated on the happy manner
in which they have disturbed an angry
train of thought, that gathered intensity
from too much brooding, aud promised
todestroy the peace of mind of the presi-
dentand toterrorize the entire Democratic
party. II was only little thing that
they did-a discussion of high art, as un-
derstood at Washington-b but the hearty
and spontaneous laughter that greeted
each sally of wit showed what relief the
subject was to minds that had grown
weary Of strife and discord, and were only
too anxious to come down from their
high horse if any one would show them
the way. We NIL know how brightly the
sun shines after the dark and threatening
cloud has been dispelled. As the sena.
tors are reported to have adjourned in
high good humor with themselves, it is
presumable that reaction has set in. land
that they will now share their new.found
milk of human kindness with the country
at large. The people will not DO easily
persuaded that these Solons can now re-
sumo frame of mind that was antagon-
istic to everybody and not particularly
comfortable to themselves.

BITZ-JOHN PORTER.
What General IOngsIrcct says
About Him.

About Him.
From the Century war series in the
February number is the following from
General Longstreets paper on the "March
against Pope:" General Pope, sanguine
by nature, was not careful enough TO
Keep himself informed about the move
mehts OF his enemy. AT 400 on the
afternoon of the 29th, he issued an order
for Porter to attack Jaclson's right sun.
posing was at Thoroughfare Gap, when
In fact had been in position since noon,
and was anxiously awaiting attack. 1t
has been said that General Stuart, by
raising dust in front of Porter, SO i'm.
pressed him that he did not offer battle
know nothing of the truth of the story.
and never heard of it till after the war
Ii from any such cause Porter was pre
vented from attacking me it was to orr
disadvantage, and delayed our victory 81
hours Porter knew | was in his front
He had captured one or two of my men.
which gave him information Of NV
position before he actually saw me. If
Porter had not appeared when he did |
would have attacked by our right early
IN the afternoon. In that event Porter
would have had fine opportunity to
take me on the wing and strike a fearful
blow. As it was, he was a check upon
my move against Pope's main position. If
had advanced upon Pope would have
been under an entilade fire from Polter's
batteries, and if l had advanced upon
Porter | would have been under a fire
from the batteries on Popes front MS
severe as the raking fire from my bat
teries the next day, when Pope was
1nassed against jackson. Had Porter at
tackled me between noon and night on
the 10Th, l should have received his
5000 with about double that number,
would have held my line to receive the
attack, and as soon as his line developed
its strength, l would have thrown three
brigades forward beyond his extreme left.
When my line of battle had broken
up the attack, as it certainly would have
done, these three brigades would have
been thrown forward ut the flank, and at
the same time my main line would have
pushed on in the pursuit. The result
would have been Porter's retreat in CON
fusion, and might possibly have reached
Pope's left and rear in time to cut him
OF. When his army was well concentra
ted on the Both he was badly cut up and
defeated. 1t does not seem unreasonable
to conclude that attack on the 29th in his
disiointed condition would have been at
tended with more disastrous results to
him. If had been attacked under the
4.3O order the result might have been less
damaging, as Porter would have had the
night to cover his retreat and the Federal
army could have awaited itself of the
darkness to screen its move back across
Bull Run. But Porters attack at night,
if not followed by the reti eat of the army
would have drawn me around the federal
left, and put me in n position for striking
the next day"
