e'on, II ached this place day before yesterday,
in charge Of Lieut.. Washhusn, OF Gen, Scho-
fields staff. In all, there arc eighty-three
bo1ee, and the total weight Is probably eight
tons. The plunder filed sir whgons.
Among others, I notice ono box marked,
ters." THIS box contained the original dsAfts
Of Lees reports Of battles and campaigns,
and other papers ofthe same description. The
original report Of The Gettysburg campaign
was found In It, besides several other manu-
scripts In Gen. Lees own handwriting.
Another box is marked 'Otlic;al Reports Of
Battles, 4. and !. G. O." This will probably
le Of greater interest than any Other Of the
records proper. saTe, perhaps, those contain
ID III box laue1cd Photographs and Tcle-
graph Books which will undonbsed,y give
good deal Of the history Of the recent work
ings Of the rebcl government, Us some Of tho
dispatches are supposed to pertain to the
''secret serv1ceh branch Of the department.
-Four lsrGe Loxes containing fags aud col
OFF, captured from different regiments In our
army, are also included In the lot. There
arc two Of them marked "16C3 - md probably
In tlx1n will he found the Chickamzuga cap

The value Of this lot Of plunder to the fu-

to settle the etAtus of different public men,
will be readily imagined.
