A dramatic result Of this battle was
the courtmartial OF General Porter
on charges made by General Pope. On
the 10th of January. 1868, Porter was
found guilty of having disobeyod three
OF Pope's orders and the sentence was
that he be cashlered and be forever
disqualified from holding any Once

next 10 years Porter continually ap.

Accordingly. President Arthur In
