WAsnISGToN, Oct. "a AN Interview
with General Kosecrans is published in
which he consents 10 talk about the
Chickamanga campaign. He claims
that Chickamauga was a victory and
not defeat for the Union army. Stan

after dispatch from Rosecrans that the
army was routed and destroyed. 0fthis

ascribes Stanton's dislike to the fact that
he could not fatter the latter's desire to
be President, for which he had an in
sane ambition. The General also de-

Lincoln, and his reply was that the Con-
vention would have to take such action
as it deemed best. He believes it was
intercepted by Stanton, as Garfield
never received 1t. He also declares that

Paying Postal Debts.
WAsmSGrox, Oct. "a 1T is estimated
that nearly sl,000,000 will be required to
pay for the transportation OF mail matter
on subsidized roads for the fiscal year

revenues are therefore anticipated, for up
to the present time the cost of mail
transportation over the branches Of sub
sidized railroads had never been charged
to the postal expense account but has
been credited to the interest account of

Thurman act. The major portion of the
money to be returned to the roads will
be paid to the Union Pacific.
