would nave been broken up. Gen.' Por

witness till it was too late. ; If : Gen. Porter
had attacked that dav anv time after 12

annihilated him, for the federal lines were

Gen. Sherman is preparing a plan

to be presented to the; Congressional
Commission appointed to consider
the question, which will meet at the
White Sulphur Springs on the 22d

quirement, and believes that where
civil power ia weak reserved power
should be strong. The use of troops
should be brought within well-defined
limits of law. The commission as
organized he does not consider a fair

hostility to the army. 5 -
