SBIP BUrLDMG.-Capt W. b. Graves, (of Nor
flk,) has been appointed, by the Quartermaster, to
superintend the building and repairing boats and
barges for the government. In 1861, Capt. G. was
forced, by the Confederaes to give up bis valuable
ship yard at Norfolk, (where he was doing lucra-
tive busness) ard come to this place and superin-
tend the building OF Iron-clads, though Captain G..
has the satisfaction of knowing he kept many
Union man from being conscripted in the Conied-
crate army by giving them employment, and there
by supporting their families. Capt. G. also deserves
credit for his efforts in extnguishing the fire on the
3d. at the ship yard, after the torch had been ap-
Piled by the Confederates also, in positively re-
fusng to obey the orders or allow the large ship
now on the stocks to be fired.

USsEExLY HURRY.-The Office of Col. Fred.
Manning, President OF the Relief Committee, at
the Baptist Institute, was yesterday morning be-
sieged by great throng Of females, white and
colored, who pulled and hauled and jostled one
another in a most unbecoming manner In their ca
gerness to gain access to tie building and present
their petitions. These people rather retard than
expedite their purposes by their too hot haste
Why can they not learn and practice the Postoifce
rule and fall into line so that the first who comes
may be the first who is served, as also the golden
mill rule the world over1 AS they conduct them
selves now, one has need for the thows of Bene-
cis Boy 10 come unframed out of the melee.

by Che sponge o. fate, and nothing remains if the
problem is to be persisted IN, but to wipe out the

'three moves are as bad as a fire.. but with the
Confederate Government one move and a fire did

BOARDING. HoUsEs.-Among the many comforts
and conveniences that the transient and migratory
population Of Richmond need most at present is
good, cheap boarding houses, where the comforts
Of a home can be enjoyed at q moderate outlay
The outbreak Of the war found Richmond well
supplied with these Institutions but as the war
progressed, aud times grew stringent, with de-
precisting currency, they closed one by one, and,
upon the occupation Of the city by the Federal
forces, there we're scarcely half dozen boarding
houses to be found in the city. change, such as
has taken place In the currency and the times,
should revive them, as all such accommodations
will be needed, and cannot fail of proving good
paying investments. In addition to the hundreds
called here by the operations of the Federal Gov
eminent, military and civic, many rendered
houseless BY the conaagratiOn will need temporary
abo1es such as IS only Afforded by boarding
houses.
