The Washington Republican always has much
to say about politics 10 Virginia. It's last rcVcIa
ton is this eve learn that the resolution in
the platform of the Virginia Conservatives re
lating to the National Administration was the
result of conference between James S. Bar
bour, Of Culpcpcr, aud Col. Mosby." OF course
we do not know how correct this may be; and
it may be that Mr.. B. and Col. NJ. have talked
about the subject. But it is certain that the
Republican is not at alb pleased with Col. Mos
bys position.

Of the Captain after the fire broke out, but tie
other Ulcers, by their own confession, made all
haste to save their owu lives. The frightened
passengers were left to render the boat, uscirs>
by their ignorant efforts to get them into tie
water and there was no experienced person At
