gly Vittss. SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1803 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 Stanley.yrihner, and other brave soldiers, should fall in. the defence of our cause, is lamentable,but where such large' armies arc fighting in our' extensive theatres of War, we must not he shocked and stir prized when ow kisses in a pitched battle are esti mated by thousands, We have yet to see in this war any such losses by casualties in battle as those which occurred in Italy under the First Napoleon, or in the Crimea under Napoleon 111.

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 coed upon sufficient grounds in each and 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 - _ dietitian :would be irresistible.

The con duct of these released State Prisoners; since :::they have returned to their hthnes, is the best argument that cOuld be made in favor of the Administration, and : the strongest plea in favor of the disclosures venture to suggest.

Ann:ANy, Jan. 2.-The inauguration of. Governor Seymour took. place yesterday. 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.

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.

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 prnside, after General Porter joined the coming I .4.....*ininthecomMallil_Qi Goner 1 Porter? from , . ed several. The exact number Ido not yilll ht is three or four, forwarded by General s T b o le ) lr o oLm rse F lf a l lmouth. A. The cop ek and Myself.ies I think ere addressed both to General Hal --4.. n erat McClellan here examined the various 'ueirPetchz6-2-tircrred manner n.which' General Porter comments upon the in which the Virginia Campaign had been conducted, and acknowledged them to he the same as he had received.] Q. Did•you, from the telegrams that you received, form an imureestion_two_aditioral:Rotter..wolibi:”..t. be true to his duty_to 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. xpeditiou— e Direction love. upon Orn:cart . , at Liverpool, Mr. Dudley, has writ ten a letter setting forth the efforts he made to direct the attention of the British authorities to the Ala bama, and concludes by asserting that there are nom four large veesels filling out al Liverpool, to follow the pi ratical example of the Alabama—three of iron and one of wood, Nine tenth are preparing to run the blockade.

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.
