FITZ JOHN PORTER,
As Gen. LOugstrtet Measured Him
in the "March Against Pope"

From The Century War Series in the
February number we quote as follows
from Gen. Longstreet's paper on the
March Against Pope:" "Gen. Pope,
sanguine by nature, was not careful
enough to keep himself informed
about the movements of his enemy.
At $3.50 O'Clock on the afternoon Of
the Goth he issued an order for Porter
to attack Jackson's right, supposiDg !
was at Thoroughfare Gap, when, in
fact, l had been In position since noon,
and was ankle usly awaiting attack. 1t
has been said that Gen. Stuart, by
raising a dust in front OF Porter, go i'm
pressed him that he did not offer bat
tie. l know nothing of the truth Of
the story, and never heard OF it till
after the war. II from any such cause
Porter was prevented from attacking
me it was 10 our disadvantage, and
delayed our victory twenty-four hours
Porter knew l was in his front. He
had captured one or two of my men,
which gave him information of my
p )eition before he actually saw me.
If Porter had not appeared when lie
did / would have attacked by our
right early in the afternoon. In that
event Porter would have had a fac
opportunity to take me on the wing
and strike fearful blow. AS it was,
he WAS a check upon my move against
Pope's main position. II l had adj
vsnced upon Pope would have been
under an enfiIsde fir? from Porter's
batteries, and If had advanced upon
Porter would have been under fire
from the latte lies on Pope's front as
severe as the raking fire from my bat
teries the next day, when Pope was
massed against Jackson. Had Porter
attacked me between noon and night
on the Goth, l should have received
his 5000 with about double that mum.
Der. l would have held my line to
receive the attack, and ss soon as HE
line developed its strength, would
have thrown three brigades forward
beyond his extreme left. When my
line Of battle had broken up the at
tack, as it certainly would have done,
these three brigades would have been
thrown forward at the flank, and at
the same time my main line
would have pushed on in pur-
suit. The result would have been
Porier's retreat in confusion, and /
might possby hive res ched Pope's
left and rear in Tins to cut of. When
his army was we'll concentrated on the
30th he was badly cut up and defeat
ed. 1t does not seem unreasonable 20
conclude that attack on the 20kh in
his disjointed condition would have
been attended with more disastrous
results to him. II had been attacked
under the 80 order, the results might
have been less 'da'naging, as Porter
would have had the night to cover his
retreat, and the Federal army could
have availed itself of the darkness to
screen its move back across Bull Run.
But Porter's attack at night, If not fol.
lowed by the retreat of the army,
would | ave drawn me around the
Federal left, and put me in position
for striking tho next day.

A CHASTITY CRIME.
A Woman Murdered by Her Husband
and His ParamOur at Crit
An, Ga.
Intense Excitement Over the Trag-
edy, Which May Result In a
Lynchlng.

NEW YORK, January PA special
from Critic, Ga, ssys: About a month
ago George Daniel, accompanied by q
woman passing as his wife, went to
Mr.. Bob Freeman's, three miles above
town, and rented a house. Nothing
occurred to ripple the even tenor OF
their way until last Saturday, when
another woman appeared at Freeman's
house and asked il George Daniel
lived about there. She was directed
TO his place. Before leaving, however,
she said that she was George Daniels
wife ard had come to look for him.
She went down to where George lived.
Nothing was thought of the Occurrences
by Mr.. Freeman or his family, and
they went to bed that night little
dreaming that an awful tragedy was
being enacted within half q mile OF
their home. Sunday morning all was
quiet at Daniels house. Mr.. Freeman
went down to where the woman lived
and found the door licked, The cur

his paramour we're gone. The news
spread like wildf e, and soon a crowd
WAS collected around the little hut
Later in the day George Daniel and
some relatives of the dead woman
came to the house. George had gone
eight or ten miles from bis home and
told them OF the death, and they came
back with him. George then told q
remarkable tale. He said the dead
woman was his wife and came to his
house Saturday afternoon and began
abusing him for deserving her. They
had a long wrangle over the matter,
when fuslly she took the gun and
threatened to shoot him. He caught
hold of the gun to try to prevent her,

Intense excitement prevails, which
may result in Daniels lynching il he

MONTGOMERY CRY, Mo-, January 81.
Some time last year John G. Kim
brell, farmer living near this lace,
moved, with his family consisting Of a
wife and three children, to Kansas,
taking up a claim near Dodge City.
During the present blizzard which

travelling in a covered wagon. They
were not heard Of for some time, until
