Gen; Terry to Fort Snellino, Minn., ) Nov. 19. 18S2. 5 Dear General : Will yon permit me to express to you the very great gratifi cation with which I have read yoar article in the North American Review? Dealing, as it does, with only tho great csftntial points of Porter's case, and brushiug aside as unworthy of borious notice all patty sophistries, with which his oponents have sought to confuse the public mind, it seems to me to carry conviction to every fair un prejudiced man. Tho qucstioiib involved in Porter's case are, of course, part ly legal aud partly mil itary. Long ao tho best legal authority in the country such men as li. R. Curtis. Charles O'Couuer and Daniel Lord de clared that the rules of law were violated by the conviction of Porter, even as the case stood before the court martial ; aud now that the hihet military authority of the nation has pronounced in hip 'lavor upon the military questions, what is there left for tho government and tho popla to do except to hasten to make such repara tion as may yet bo possible for tho wrong which has been done? As perhaps you may know, I once like yourself, believed Porter to be guilty. I believed that he had committed a crime so great that mere human law could pro vide no adequate punishment for it. Hut when it became my duty to cxamfcio into the cute carefully, I found that I had gioasly ctred. I found that iustead of being a ciimiual he was a martyr. So believing, it is a souico of vpry great satisfaction to me that I have borne some small part in his vindication. Looking back over tho years which have elapsed since I entered the tnilitaiy ser vice, I iind nothing that gives me so much pleasuic as tho fact that I have had some part in that vindication, aud I can think of nothing in the future which would bo so grateful to me as to bo able to do some thing moro in behalf of one who has suf fered so grcviously aud unjustly. AVlnlo I feel thus, you may imagine the gratifica tion with v. hich I iiud that the opinion which I now entertain, aud what I believe to bo the cause of truth, of right, aud of justice, is so strongly supported by your- sell ; aud you will pardon me, J. ain sure, for expressing to you my feelings. Very sincerely aud respectfully, Altoed H. Tkrry. Geu U. S. Grant, New York. General UrantTIiaufcrd by Hootcn Vttarans Boston, Dec. (5. The following letter has beeu bent to Gen. Grant : " Genera! : The undersigned, onoo soldici sunder your command, desire to express their boatty and grateful thanks for your recent paper in vindication of General Fitz John Por ter. They feci that no act, whether of valor or of policy, which has marked your great caiccr should bring you moro honor than the moral courago and the spirit of fairness aud justico exhibited in this defense of a gallant Union soldier, condemned on insufficient or mistaken evidence."

Spiritualists, mediums and clairvoyants arc frequent visitors at tho Evcictt house to sf c and test Mr. Cumberland, the mind reader and exposer of spiritualism. Dur ing tuo torenoon oi v euuesuay two. or thrco mediums visited the hotel, hut Mr. Cumberland complained of a headache and would not sco them. In the afternoon a reporter of tho World called and invited Mr. Cumberland to eo with him to the residence of Mr. J. V. Manslield, tho spirit medium at No. 100 West Fifty-sixth street. Mr. Cumberland assented. They did not announce their names at the door. When they were admitted Mr. Cumber land began a conversation with Mr. Mans field on sph it-mediums and mind readers in general. Mr. Mansfield offered to give a seance of an hour's duration for -K. Mr. Cumberland offered to give the medium $o if any successful lcsults were attained and 2.50 in case the spirits were busy and could not appeal-. Mr. Matufield was very angry at his price being questioned and said that ho did not think Mr. Cumberland was in tho place for any good purpose. He then glanced at his visitor's brown vel vet jacket and, noting his decided English appearance, must havo concluded that he was addressing Mr. Cumberland, for Lo immediately broke out : " No, sir : I would not have you for any amount ot money. You are hero for a devilish pur pose. You aro here with some bad, wicked purpose. I know you, Mr. Cum berland, and mark me, you will bo strip ped of all your disguise before you leave New York. Now, sir, put that in your pipe and smoko it." " I havo no pipe, Mr. Mansfield," said tho Englishman, " but I can offer you a cigarette." " Sir," continued tho medium, " I wish to have nothing to do with you. You are here, as I said before, on a devilish pur pose, and I wish you good day " ' Good day, sir, good day. I hope when next we meet your anger will havo cooled down," said Mr. Cumberland, taking his English Derby from the table and, with a low bow, leaving tho room. Mr. A. II. Phillips, another, cxpeit spirit medium and mind-reader, was then called upon. Ho did not recognize Mr. Cumberland. The first experiment was a very interesting one. Mr. Philips gave a paper to a gentleman and told him to write down the namo of ono friend among six fictitious namss. Tho names we:e written down while Mr. Cumberland and Mr. Phillips were out of the room, and the paper was not examined by them on their return. There was no touching of hands, or any physical connection made. Mr. Phillips picked out tho namo and Mr. Cumberland failed. Mr. Phillips then de fled Mr. Cumberland to pick out any ono name on tho paper. The Englishman said that the name was known by facial ex pression of the subject, and also by guess work, as generally very common names aro used. Four more Faustulns, Hector, Andromache and Vesta were then se lected by tho subject, and Mr. Phillips and Mr. Cumberland both failed to pick out tho name Faustulus. Mr. Cumberland then took the subject by the hand, there by making a physical connection, andgavo the name. The differenco between Mr. Cumber land's theory and Mr. Phillips' is very evident. Tho former gentleman holds tbat ia order to read tho mind a physical connection is necessary. Mr. Phillips goes further, saving that ideas travel from oue brain whsre they are deeply meditated upon to another. Mr. Cumberland will lecture in Chickering hall on mind reading and spiritualism on Saturday night. A Title. "The AtUenwum. Some five or six years ago Mr. Charles Dickens, for whom, with my late partner, I wrote a Christmas story, after the title had been advertised everywhere I believe even "after tho thing had appeared re ceived a letter from some one informing him that he bad once written a story with the same title. He further intimated that unless substantial damages were at once paid ho would do dreadful things. Mr. Dickens, after ascertaining that tho story spoken of was long ago dead and buried, wisely intimated that ho might go and do his worst. And nothing came of it. Another story. A certain firm of publishers with whom I am acquintcd once received a letter warn ing thefn that a work of theirs, then in the press and already well advertised, bore the tital of a novel onco written by himself. The writer went on to add that he contemplated issuing his book in a cheap form, so that unless same threat as above. Ho gave as his address a public huusc near Druiy Lane. It was pretty evident from tho tono of the letter what kind of a man he was aud what he wanted. He had, ia fact, published a novel under tho titlo named, which fell Hat, and was long since dead, as dead as can ba desired for any book, s-o that tho uso of the titlo would injure him in ro possible way. However, the.-o pub lishers desiring to injure no man, invited him to au interview. He came, bringing with him a printer, who was good enough to testify that ho had commenced nego tiations for tho reprint of the novel in question. While the partners w re think ing how much they could offer the in tn of unappreciated genius in order to pro serve their own title ho happily brought tho matter to an issuo by offering to I'Mtiin. t',a ;,-.ii" f.... .. :,-.n, ir.,-. ti.: ho was ejected with his printer, and has never since claimed any damages. In fact I do not believe that whero it can be proved that no one is injured any damages could bo obtained. But, to prevent dis putes, let us register our titles. Again, a titlo ought not to be registered unless it belonga to a book ; no oue ought to havo copyright in so unsubstantial a thing as a mere title. Yet I havo heard a story which, if true, shows that there is or was such a copyright. It is related of the late Mr. Haiti Eriswell. He onco met a pub lisher who confided to him that he was about to bring out a now religious weekly but wanted a title. "Why not," said Mr. Friswell, "call it ?" Tho publisher grasped his hand warmly and left him in haste. Thereupon Mr. Fiiswcll, repent ing that ho had so carelessly patted with a good title, called a cab and hastened to register it at Stationer's hall. While tho ink was still wet, a cleik arrived from tho publisher on exactly the same errand. If registration of a titlo 10 years ago secured its copyright, docs it not secure that copy right still '? And if there has been no registration, is tha title the property of tho author or the publisher? I havo only to add that I am again a victim, and am in formed tbat the title I had chosen for a new novel belongs to a littlo book writ ten for children and published fivo years ago.
