the Capital,


WASHINGTON, d, G., Feb, 4.-The travel
on railroads South have suffered greater
interruption from yesterdays snow than
that on the roads North, No trains were
sent out from Richmond northward yes
terday afternoon and lust night. The train
which left Richmond yesterday morning
at 6 o'clock, had such hard work in forcing
its way through cuts into which the SNOW
had driited, that 1t arrived here over eight
hours late, at B;lS last night. The Mid
land train, due here at 80 =. NJ il, yester.
day did not get in till this morning,
The Washington and Ohio train got
In this morning. The last train
that left South Of Alexandria yes.
terday was the Richmond, due there
at o'clock last night, but II had not ar.
rived this morning. The heaviest trains
northward to-day were .double.headers,
running engines in pairs.
To-day there are reports that the snow
is drifting on some of the roads, and ii
may be that more trouble will DO given by
the drifts In the cuts but everything will
be done to keep the roads open, All the
Western trains duo here last night arrived
almost four hours late.

NEw York, Feb. THE controversy
between General Sherman and General
Fry, which ia being carried on through
ons OF the current magazines, is still oc-
cupying considerable attention, both in
military and literary circles here, Both
these officers are said to attach more i'm.
portance to what has been said than has
been generally supposed, and there are
those 10 be found who believe that the
whole matter will eventually end in q
court Of inquiry or perhaps court martial,
The friends Of General Sherman seem to
think that Colonel Scott was himself
somewhat to blame in not making known
the fact that he possessed the letter con-
Cerning General Smith when that was all
General Sherman was seeking, and which
they say he never actually denied he had
written. General Fry is said to have pre-.
pared llthograph copy OF that section ol
the letter OF General Sherman to Colonel
Scott, Of the War Records Office, but as
yet the full letter has not been printed.
A gentleman familiar with the entire
matter here said to-day that the
controversy was indeed q very deep.seated
one, that the discussion and publication
Of military articles now in'progress prom
isea TO bring into prominence great many
facts concerning the history OF the move
ments OF the armies both East and West,
and especially concerning HalleCk aud
smith and Grant. "Ths full history Of the
western army under Halleck,n said he,
has never yet been written. MCClellan's
memoirs are being pushed to q very rapid
conclusion, and they, will throw great
deal OF light, not only on the history OF
the Peninsular campaign, but upon the
history OF Grant and Hall6ck as well. The
ruth Of the matter is that HalleCk's te!e-
gram to Mcclellan, that Grant was some.

He carried a cane and supported light
colored tall hat. He came along gazing in
the show windows of the several stores
along his way, and finally attempted to
pass under the series of awnings that mark
a particular portion of the thoroughfare.
The attempt was failure. His tall hat
struck the flap of the awning and was
dashed off and out into the wet and muddy
street. He dropped his cane, and also
dropped several good-szed oaths which fell
from his lips with all the fluency of Miss

The boys waited and saw other mishaps of
similar character as other men attempted
to pass under the low and dropping avn

Third street is not alone in this particu-

side streets are cursed with the same open
