THE WAR.
The news from the Army of the Cumberland in
dicates that Major General , Rosecrans has gained
an important victory over the rebels at Murfrees
bore. The enemy will continue to resist the ad
vance of the Federal army until we capture Chatta
nooga, but its final destruction seems to be a for&
gone conclusion. This result will be soon evident,
if it be true that Gen. Carter has taken Knoxville.
If the East Tennessee and Virginia. Railroad
has been cut, the hopes of the rebels for even
temporary successes in future are slender. The
war in the Southwest is being finished up in a satis
factory manner, and by the time that the various
armies operating upon the line of the Mississippi
river have restored that country to the protection of
our flag, Rosecrans will render the occupation se
cure by holding Montgoniery, Alabama. No one can
fail to appreciate the substantial harmony evident
in the operations of our generals in the Southwest.
It is by such harmonious combination of action that
'great designs are carried out and grand results at
tained in war. That such good mien es Rousseau

This day the Complaint of owners and

LETTER FROM gi OCCASIONAL.""
WASILENGTON, japliary 2,:7.803
The subject upon which the rebel sympa
thliers most eloquently dilate is the arrest, :1
by the Government, of suspected traitors.
They have made more Capital from this .
outcry than from any other topic; and - the I
steady refusal of the Administration to give
its reasons ?or this policy has emboldened I
them in the creation and eirevaationof
conceivable calumnies and falsehOods, They
have doubtless convinced many innocent
people that there was no good reason for
arresting and confining disloyal Men.' I
think it, will presently appear that, of all
their mistakes, none has been so:great as the
assumption that the President did not : pre

all of these: cases. No docuMent would
More confound these men and More.
encourage and: consolidate the friends
of the Administration than a frank state
ment of the reasons which induced the ar
rest and confinement of the suspected trai
tors. There is not an instance, beginning
with that of George P. Kane, in Baltinipre, :
and 'ending with that, of Winder, in regard
to which the Government will, not be able
to justify itself to every patriotic mind. As
a mere campaign document, :such a vitt - _

Ann:ANy, Jan. 2.-The inauguration of. Governor

After the oath of office had been administered,
Governor Morgan delivered n: congratulatory ad
dress, calling the attention of the:new Governor to
the highly prosperous condition of the State; and
closing with some pertinent apusions to national
affairs.
The of :people, ',he said, who are now
aroused by imaginary wrongs to fierce passion;
cannot at once return to reason. Their resentaterit,
must have time to cool, and the delusion under Which
they are acting to be diSaipated, But the day 111iliit
surely come when the people of the Sput4 will again
own the same sovereignty, honer the same laws,
and fight under the same flag,
At present we must use .the sword. It cannot he
sheathed until those now in rebellion shall lay down
their arms, and the conStitution and laws have
uniform sway. "
At the conclusion .of Gov. Morgan , a address,
which was warmly applauded, Gov. Seymour de
livered his inaugural addresi:
Gov. Seymour thanked Gov. 11Iorgan for the kind
expression of his good wisheS, and congratulated
him on the able close of his administration:
Gov. S. said : I have solemnly sworn to support
the Constitution of the United States, with all its
grants, restrictions, and guaranties, and I shall
support it. I have also sworn to -support the Con
stitution of the State of New York, with all its
powers and rights, and I shall uphold it
I have sworn to support the duties of the office of
Governor of the State, and, with your aid, they,
shall be faithfully performed. These Constitutions
and laws are meant for the guidance of our official
conduct and for your protection and welfare. The
first law recorded for my observance is that declaring
that "it shall be the duty of the Governor to Main
tain and defend the sovereignty and jurisdictton of.
the State." The most strict injunction of the Consti
tution is that the Governor shall take care that the
"laws are faithfully executed.," and, so help me
God, they shall be. , -
He would not dwell, on the present occasion, on
our national affairs. Our position as a State has
been happily attended to. by -my predecessor. illy
views on the subject will be laid before the Legisla
ture."
While knowing that his position gave him little
control over national affairs, he (Seymour) yet ven
tured to trust that, before the end of his term of ser
vice, the country would be again great, glorious, and
united as it once was.

regiments of regular infantry (including the 18th re•

and half of the enlisted men killed and wounded.
The Anderson Troop (a Philadelphia regiment), of
Col: Wynkoop's - light cavalry brigade, also suffered
severely. IVlajors Rosengarten and Warff were both
killed during a charge. The cavalry behaved and
mancetivred under fire with the steadiness of veteran

this.

I havejust returned from the front again, where
Gen. Roseerans is directing the gigantic field opera

Gen. Joseph Johnston directs the ma - cements of
the enemy in person.
About one o'clock Gen. Thomas threw his entire
corps Warmee against the centre of the enemy's
forces, and breaking it, drove it back' over a mile in
great confusion.
Rebels, killed and wounded, lay in heaps upon
this ground.
Gen. Rosecrans then Ordered an 'advance of the
entire line of his army in support of Gen. Thomas',
and we soon engaged the enemy at close quarters
for the first time in the history of the rebellion.
At one time General Roseerans observed his
troops wavering, when he dashed rapidly to the
front, followed by his staff.
This coup created a tremendous enthusiaim among
the soldiers, whO rallied at every point, and drove
the enemy for some distance with excellent results.
TWO of General Rosecraris , aids were killed at the
time by the explosion of a shell.
Gen. Negley's division, with its excellent artil;.
lery, is causing great destruction among the rebels
on the left of centre.
Gen. Crittenden : with his corps d'armee, forming
the left wing of our army, has gained the enemy's
entrenchmentS, and is driving the rebels through
the town, which is now in plain view before us.
The loss on either side has been very heavy. We
have taken nearly 3,000 prisoners, and our loss is
not near so heavy as that of the rebels.
We are following the enemy up, and will drive
him into Alabama before we give him any rest -
General Cheatham, the greatest blower, and
General Rains, of Arkansas, the handsomest man in
the rebel army, are both killed, and their kodies are

The Porter Court Martial,
Asitinwron, Jan. 2.—The , following are the
inoceedings of the Porter Court Martial, which re-
sinned its sessions today
The Court having called on General Porter to
"bring forward his witnesses, he said that the first
one whose evidence he most needed was Col. Mar.
shall, who then lay ill at a neighboring hotel.
A question was raised as to the propriety of ad
journing to the invalid's room, which was decided
affirmatively by the Judge Advocate.
The members then proceeded to the hotel, when
the court martial was reopened in the 'Chamber of
Col. Marshall.
He was sworn, and testified that he was colonel of
the 13th New York Volunteers, attached to Gen.
Nforell's aii - ision, and a captain in the regular ser-
vice ; also, that on the afternoon of August 2M' he
had been detailed by General Porter to deploy
skirmishers, and feel the position of the enemy near
the line of the Manassas R ail way. He stated all his
knew of the enemy's force on that dx. They seemed
to come from the direction . Of - Thoroughfare Gap.
He supposed them to have been twice as strong as
General Porter's force. He thought it was impos
sible for Gen. Porter to haveattaoked the right wing
of Jackson, who, withanother portion of the rebel
army, was atthe sometime fighting Gen. Pope, since
the direct road thereto was blocked' up by the
enemy in front, and the other roads were impassable
by reason of the dense woods and the rugged nature
of the country. The only path that Porter could
have taken would have been a backward one, which
was, of course, impracticable under the circumstan
ces, though he had achieved his retreat bythis route
on the following day.
TESTIMONY OF. OEN. 111'OLELLA1
He commanded the Army of the Potomac, from
immediately after the battle of Bull Run, in 1861, up
to abodt the end of August:, 1662.
Question. Did General Porter command a corps
in that army? If so, at what time?
Answer. He served in that army for some time,
in the month of September, 1861, first as cOmmander
of a:division, and then as commander of a corps,
from about the end of April to the beginning of
May, 1862.
Q. When did the Army of the Potomac! reach
Acquia creek?
A. It reached, by detachments, during the latter
part of August.
Q. Have you knewledge of any efforts made by
General Porter for the purpose of moving with his
own command, in order to get to Acquia creek to
join General Pope?
A. 'have.
Q, Please state them.
Immediately after the - coinmencemerit of-the.
movement for evacuating Harrison Bar, Genera/
Porter was instructed to move his corps to the vi
cinity of-Williamslitirg, holding a position in front
of it, sd as to be able to support either wing of the
army if attacked. While there he received informa
tion from contrabands and intercepted letters, show
ing that the rebel troops in the vicinity of Richmond
were•moving upon General Pope, and immediately,
without waiting for further 'instructions from me,
4moved,his command with the utmost rapidity to
Newport News to embark. While at Newport
News hewed every effort to facilitate the embarka
tion of his command for Acquia Creek.
Q. Did lie know that the object of the movement,
upon his part, WAS to go as quick as possible to the
assistance of General Porter 1
'ng, RS
f by our
A. He did. ,
Q. At what time did he get off from. NeWport
News 1
A. I think he' embarked in person on the 20th of
August. I could not tell certainly without reference
to papers and despatchea.
A despatch was handed to the witness, and the
question asked, if that document refreshed his recol-;
lection'i The following is the despatch alluded-to :
"FORTRESS MoNnox, Va.,
August 20th, 1862.
"Please push off your troops, without one mo
ment's delay. -
" The necessity is very pressing—a matter of- life
and death. What progress is being made, and when
will you be through 1 Sec me before youg ail.
" GEO. B. McCILIELLA.N . ,
Major General. -
"To Major General Fitz John Porter."
After reading - the paper and acknowledging its
authorship, General 'McClellan said, to the best of
hie knowledge and belief, General Porter sailed on
the evening of the 20th of August.
• Q. That order, as We.understand it, was executed
by him to your satisfactionl
A.Entirely so. -
Q. You have stated that the first movement 'which
lie made for the purpose of getting to Newport News
was without orders from you. Was it not contrary
to orders at that time 1
FFOLIE
A. It was departing from the letter of instructions
I had given him. 1 should say, however, in expla
nation of that, that General Porter sent me a tele
gram= perhaps two, stating that he would move up
certainly, If I did not forbid. By some delay I did
not receive these despatches until he had .started,
but I fully approved of his course in doing what he
•
did.
Q. Was the effect of that movement to expedite
his arrival at Acquia Creek?
A. Very decidedly—at least one day, if not more. .
Q. After he left Newport News with his command,
when did you see him, if at all, afterwards)
A. At Acquit), Creek.
Q. How long was he there under your immediate
supervision?
A. I think, from twenty-four to thirty-six hours,
between there and Falmouth.
Q. Did you see him after he left Falmouth until
the campaign was at an end I
A. No, sir. • •
Q. From what . you saw of his, conduct, or from
anything that you May have heard from him after
he that he was to go to the assistance of Gen.,
Pope, did he do all in your opinion that an energetic,
zealous, and patriotic officer could have done?
A. I think he did.
Q. Had 3 , 0 u any reason, at any time after lie re
ceived notice that he was to go to the assistance of
General Pope, to believe that he would fail General
Pope or the.country?
A. None whatever. • -..
Po ou remember Whether you received from
Gerru

them to he the same as he had received.]
Q. Did•you, from the telegrams that you received,

Q. Will you do me the favor to look at this paper
(handing it to him) and say whether you sent that
despatch?
A. I did. (The despatch alluded to is the one sent
by General McClellan to General Porter, on Sept..
Ist, 1862, urging the latter to de all in his power to
assist General Pope.)
" Q. - As'you have already stated that you never en
tertained a doubt that General Porter would be true
to General Pope in that campaign, how came you to
• send him such a despatch as that?
A. I sent it in accordance with the request of the
President of the United States, who sent for me on
that day, and told me that he had understood that
there was an unkind feeling on the part of the
Army of the Potomac
.against General Pope, and
requested me to use my personal influence to correct
it by telegraphing either to General Porter, or any
other of my friends there. I told him that I did not
consider it necessary, but was perfectly willing to
do it. I had no doubt then, in my own mind, but
that the Army of the Potomac and all connected
.with it, would do their duty with out u the necessity
for any action on my part.
' Q. 1 understand you to say,then, that you sent the
telegram to quiet the apprehensions of the Presi
dent, and not to remove any apprehensions of your
own)
A. Entirely so.
Examination by the Judge Advocate—Q.. This
despatch, of which you have spoken, bears date
Sept. let, 5.30 P. M.,1862. Were you not then, or
some time afterward, in command of the defences of
Washington
A. 1 had been placed in command of the defences
of Washington that morning by verbal order.'
Q. Can you recall the hour at which, on the fol
lowing day, the order was sent to Gen. Pope to fall
back within the defences of Washington ? . I
A. The order did not emanate from me, but to my
recollection it was sent at a very early hour on the
morning of the 2d of September.
Q. Did or did not the execution of that order ne
cessarily place the forces of General Pope himself
under your command I
. A. I was directed not to assume any command
over the active troops commanded by General Pope
until they reached the immediate vicinity of Wash
ington. I was expressly excluded from all control
Am them until then.
4. Did •the President, in his conversation with
:you, which you refer to as to the sending of this de
spatch,. express his apprehension as growing out of
unkind feelings on the part of the Army of the Poto
mac, or on the part of certain officers 1
General Hitchcock. Is it necessary to go into that
point, Mr. President I I rather think not.'
Mr. Johnson (counsel.) We do not object to it, sir.
General. Hitchcock insisted upon tas'objections,
and the Judge Advocate withdrew the question.
The following questions were then propounded by
the Court :
Q: At what time did General Porter receive orders
to join General Pope's command
A. I cannot give the exact date: The order came
direct from General Halleck, and had been received
by General Porter when I reached Acquia Creek.
Q. by General Casey. Are. your own feelings
towards General Pope of a friendly character?
A. My acquaintance with Gen. Pope
Gen. King. Wait a moment—l don't see the ne
cessity for butt question, Mr. President.
Gen. Hitchcock. Ido not see the connection of
th - at question with the proceedings of this court.
Gen. Casey. If there is objection, Mr. President,
I withdraw the question, as I- have no particular
reason to push it.
• Mr. Johnson (Counsel). As this question was put
bYthe court, and some of the members may have the
impression that the witness has feelings unfriendly
to Gen. Pope, it is due to him that he should be al
lowed to answer that question.
The President. Objection has been raised and the
question withdrawn.
General Hunter. When the accused was making
efforts to leave theTeninsula, did , he know. he was
to be placed under the immediate • cominand'of Gen.
Pope I
A. He did not. It was only known that the Army
of the Potomac was to move to Acquirt Creek to re
inforce and assist the Army of Virginia. The ques
_ton of command had not then been decided, as far
MI I knew. •
The court having no further questions to propound,
Gen. McClellan was informed that his presence
would not again be required.
Hon. John Tucker, Assistant Secretary of War,
was next sworn.
lie testified to General Porter's zeal and energy
in getting his troops on board the transports at Point
Comfort •; also, that he had never observed anything
in Gen. Porter:9 conduct or heard anything said by
him which would indicate that he (Gen. Porter)
would fail to do his whole duty in co-operating with
and supporting Gen. Pope.
Lieut. G. D. Ingham, of Gen. Sickles' staff; was
next examined. His testimony had reference to the
character of the right wing on the night of the 29th
of August, which he testified was dArk, and very un
favorable to the marching of troops.
The court then adjourned until to-morrow.
The letters of General Porter to General Burnside,
which were ruled out some time ago as irrelevant,
and which were recently published, were to-day ad
mitted, as Gen. Burnside seemed to regard them as
official papers, and not merely private corres
pondence.

THE PRESIDENT'S PROCIAMATIO).T. —The
President's proclamation upon the subject of slavery
is now the great theme of conversation. There are
more kinds of slavery than one. There is human
slavery, slavery to 'passion, slavery to fashion,
slavery to appetite, and slavery to bad habits.
Among the latter description of slavery may be men
tioned the neglect of good taste and comfort involved
in the wearing of inferior garments, when such ele
gant and economical wearing apparel can be pro
cured at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rock
hill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut street,
above Sixth. Every man's own sense of good taste
and propriety should utter a proclamation of eman
cipation from all bad and graceless habits.
.1 - Virllm the Prince and Princess of Prussia
were in Rome, in November, they dined at the cid
farelli Palace, the residence of the Prussian minis
ter. The Duke and Duchess of Montebello were
present, and many other distinguished people. Soup
had just been served, when suddenly the door opened
and the Prussian Ambassador, the Baron de Kanitz,
who is a harmless maniac, stalked in as pale as a
ghost, and clothed in nothing but his flannel night
gown, and demanded by what authority the company
was present. The ladies were much alarmed and
shocked, an d the Baron would have without doubt
presented a more creditable appearance had he been
enrobed in a handsome suit of clothes. made to order
at the one-price establishment of Granville Stokes,
No. 609 Chestnut street, Philadelphia..
READY-MADE CLOTHING STORES.—A few
words about them as conducted in Philadelphia.
Not far back in the history of the city of Penn,
there was a time when a Ready-Made Clo thing Store
was unknown. We must, perhaps, except one class
of establishments in this assertion, and that is the
Sailors' Clothing Stores, where oil-cloth overalls
and tarpaulins constituted the hang-out: but there
was' no place where either the traveller or citizen
could'get a proper suit of Ready-Made Clothing for
his immediate want. He could buy hats ready-made;
he could buy boots ready for use : but a want equally
as great remained unsupplied.
Philadelphia has long been famous for her manu
factures in all the departments of trade, and the re
putation of "Philadelphia make" is a sufficient gua
rantee for buyers from all parts of our country.
Among the prominent articles of manufacture of
our city at the present day is CLOTHING, and the
number of .palatlal establishments devoted to its
manufacture and sale attests the value of such
manufacture to an enlightened and appreciative
Public.
'Within the "CONTINENTAL HOTEL," Occupying
only one of the most capacious stores in that exten
sive building, and in Chestnut street, the centre of
fashion and taste, is appropriately locates! the First-
Class Ready-Made Clothing Store of Philadelphia.
Charles Stokes, in February, 1860, (after having
Once retired from the arena of trade,) again entered
the lists, and opened this extensive establishment
upon the principle of "One Price," that is, of having
the lowest selling price of every garment marked in
plain figures on the article itself. The wisdom of
this system, being such a departure from the custom.
of trade, was doubted by all of Mr. Stokes' advisers ;
he, however, knowing the principle to be just, be
lieved it "must work," and accordingly leased, fit
ted up, and stocked his store extensively with the
most marketable materials, of the best class, pro
cured in the markets at home and abroad, engaged
clerks, salesmen, and cutters, and on the sixth day
of February - , 1860, there was inaugurated in Phila
delphia one of the finest Ready-Made Clothing
Stores in the world, constructed strictly upon what
is known as the "One Price" system.
The good policy of this course, like many other
ventures, is to be judged by its success, and upon
this teat it has been found eminently wise. The
public have given their approbation, notwithstand
ing the "shrugs" of lookers-on, in a manner appre
ciative and satisfactory, beyond the most liberal
expectations of the proprietor. Other houses have
followed the example, and all, buyer and seller, see
the justness of the policy, and feel the convenience
of the "one-price" system.
This prosperous house has now nearly completed
its third year of business, and the proprietors take
this opportunity to return their thanks to the public
of Philadelphia and vicinity, for their extended and
most liberal patronage.
On the first day of January, 1863, Charles Stokes
associated with him , in. business Mr. FAiward T.
Taylor, (the former principal salesman.) and Mr.
William 3. Stokes, trading under the firm of Charles
Stokes & Co.
To our friends and patrons we will state that for
the year 1863 there will be unabated attention given
to secure a continuance of your patronage, and to
give to all entire satisfaction.
Very respectfully,

The New York Evening Post of to-day says:
The new year opens with great excitement ou the
Stock Exchange. Prices are rapidly bid up, and lor 2
per cent. seems to lie no objection to the purchaser. ALL
stocks appear to be favorites. The shorts are bewildered
and are taking in their options at any price. It is very
difficult to give any good reason for this continued appre
ciation, any more than that no one doubts that another
issue of "greenback; " will he authorized during the
month.
The call opened dull on. Governments, but when
Missouri Gs were reached, the excitement became in
tense, and those securities rose to 63 hid, against 00, the,
price of Wedne:day evening. Pacific Mail rose 1 per
cent., New S ark Central 1, Brie 1, Erie preferred 3.
Since the adjournment of the Board the market con
tinues as strong as on the regular call. The excitement
is very great-
