Records of the Late War.

Gen. III. V. Boynton writes to the
Cincinnati Gazette an interesting letter
about the records of the Rebellion. He
says: Few had any idea of the enor-
nous bulk of the material which makes
up the records of the late war. IT is
stored in more than dozen buildings,
and a number of these contain little else.
One of these is devoted to what are
termed theYrecords of discontinued com
mands, and. as this title indicates, they
constitute great portion of the field rec
ords of the war. This building is forty
feet by eighty, and is four stories high.
Eight ranges of wide shelves run length
wise through each story from floor to
ceiling, and two-thirds Of these are
packed as close as any bookkeeper's
shelves with immense ledgers, which are
the books of letters received and sent,
the telegraph books, battle report books,
order books, and all the great variety of
records which were kept at each head
quarters, and regularly copied into these
volumes. The rest of the shelves are
packed close with unentered papers of
endless kinds, but each containing some
scrap of war history. There are $50
cords of records in this one building.
The huge volumes which look down
from the long lines of shelves on either
side of the narrow aisles, are the books
and papers of the discontinued firm of
and Army. These are a
small portion of the accounts between
it's members, and with treason"

demanded retraction. They met on

her, and, notsucceeding in that, he gave
her a jerk, which layed her fiat on the
sidewalk, to the great disgust of the by

Justice Palmer. Murray, in another
sensational article, accused Palmer of
criminal intimacy with the girl. The
