of Mass, Washburn of Wis, Hotch-
kiss of N Y, Morrell of Pa, Judd of

New York and one in Boston. This
settles the lobby fight of the past
winter between the rival lines. The
House Committee ON Military Affairs
has agreed upon joint resolution
extending for one year the law increas-
ing the pay of soldiers to SIC per
month. The law would otherwise
expire next August, and the pay re-
turn to, think, sl3 or sll per month.

not willing the enlisted men be cut
down until the officers are. The
Census Committee, who have been
engaged for some time in arranging a
plan for taking the next census, have
agreed upon o bill. 1t establishes a

In his article on the flight Of jeff

Packard's Monthly Mr.. Edward Pol
lard makes tho remarkable statement
that the bulk Of Observation-Disclosures
of the Confederate government, in.
Guiding the correspondence Of JEFF.
ferson Davis, exist to-day in conceal
ment; that many days before the
fall Of Richmond there was a careful
selection ofimportant papers, ospcci.
ally thos7 in the Office of the president,
aud letters which involve confidence
in the North and in Europe, aud that
these were secretly conveyed out Of
Richmond and dep osited in place
whero they remain concealed to
this time, and will probably not be
uuearthed in this generation. Mr..
Pollard mentions the case of u single
secret document whish he was once
permitted to see in Richmond, whore.
in certain parties offered to assist the
Confoderaey by supplying its western
armies for a whole year from the
granaries and magazines OF the North.
Such important lctttors aud other
papers (says Mr.. Pollard) still exist;
were preserved from tho wreck aud
FIRE OF Richmond, and at this moment
are kopt in manner aud place which
render them secure against discovery
loss or mutilation.

went to the depot aud asked had the
