FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
The Ship Win ch ester.
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star.
WASHINGTON, March 23-S:45 A. NJ
The observer at Cape Henry reports
that the ship Winchester was last night
driven high upon the shore and is now
lying steady, without leaking, head to-
ward the shore. No further damage is
anticipated. One of the wrecking tugs
has just arrived, but can not commence
work Immediately on account of the
heavy sea, and has anchored off the ship.
A majority of the crew remain on board
the ship, there being no danger, and a
life car is ready at a moments notice.
The Old Southern Mail Contract
Claims.
Congress at it's last session passed an
act providing for the payment of per-
sons WAC were contractors for carry
ing mails in those of the Sou hern
S ates that engaged in the Rebellion,
for the period between their last settle
ment and before said States engaged in
war against the United States.
The Sixth Auditor is at loss to know
what construction is to be put upon the
phrase "Before said States
engaged in war against the
United Safes" The question arises
whether as in some OF the States ag-
gressive acts preceded the passage of
the ordinance OF secession, and others
the ordinance preceded any overt act.
The one or the other should be accepted
as the date, and also whether the ordi-
lance, being nullity, had the effect
to place th4 State III condition of war
against the United States.
All services in the States were dis
continued by the Postmaster General on
the 3lst Of May, 1861, and service up to
that time has been certified by the Post
office Department to this class OF claim
ants to the amount of $3.50 000, and it
was doubtless upon this data that Con-
gress appropiinred the $375 900, or SO
much thereof as may BE- necessary to
pay the claims.
Lady Clerks.
Postmaster General Key has ordered
that hereafter lady applicants for posi-
tions in the Dead Letter Office shall un.
dergo an examination to determine their.
qualifications for the duties. This or
ier had its origin In protest from Gen.
Barber, the Third Assistant, upon whom
some females had been imposed that
could scarcely write their own names.
