crate records as can be obtained by gift or
loan, he should appeal to all exConfederate
naval officers to give him such assistance as
might be in their power. The archives of
the Confederate navy were in great part
scattered at the close of the war, and its
history can only be made up from such pa
pers a. may still remain in the posses
sion of individual officers or their fam
ilies It Ia in the highest degree desira-
BILE that these papers should, as far as
possible, be transmitted to the Department
to be embodied In the course of publication.
In few cases this has been done, and very
valuable additions have thus been made to
the record much more, however, remains
to be done, and unless the deficiency can be
supplied the narrative OF many operations OF
Importance will remain Incomplete. In jus.
tice to the actors themselves in the great
struggle 1t is important that this correspond
ence should be embodied In the publication
in order that all who participated in the War
may take their place in its history. IL is
hoped that all who are interested in the sub
ject, and are in position to further it. will
give their hearty cooperation towards Sc
curing the fullest and most accurate record
possible.
as anticipated in this correspondence, the
late Compromise" to settle the differences
in the republican party in Virginia, SO far
from closing the breach, has tended in no
small degree to widen it, and at the CONVEX
ton, If not before it, from present iDdica-
tions there will be open war between the
factions. Mr.. John Wise, General Groner
and Col. Brady had an interview with AS
sissant Postmaster General Clark5on to-day
that lasted from IL to l O'Clock, but its re-.
ha rfoin Gni Rrody
told one of his party friends that nothing
tal been definitely determined upon and
W ,u,d not be until he and his two colleagues
had consulted about what had occurred at
the interview. General Groner, on the
contrary, told the GAZETTE's correspondent
that so far as he was concerned the business
that brought him here was completed, but
that he understood Mr. Wise was to have
another talk with Col. Clsrk5on. He said
the Compromise" referred TO was not Ills
cussed at the Interview except incidentally,
and that the interview was pleasant and
agreeable. When asked if he thought the
differences in ths party had been settled Ivy
the compromise" he replied that to be
candid, he did not think they had been. He
also said that the Mahoneites' report To the
effect that by the compromise" it was
agreed that Col. Brady should not even have
the appointment of his own subofduatea,
was incorrect, and that it was distinctly
understood that the Colonel should select
all of bis subordinates. MIR. Wingfeld Scott
of Floyd county, says no republican Ia hie
county or In any of the counties in his dis
triot ever authoriZ sd any body to make any
compromise for them. and that they repudi.
ate that signed by Quay and Brady; and
Mr.. Brown, of Loudoun county, who is also
here, it Is said. talks the same way. MIR. Ag.
new, OF Alexandria, was at the P0stottiCe
Department. to day. He says that none of
his recommendations for 4th class postmas-
tiers are Effective unlees they are endorsed
with that all powerful name, Malone"
Prof Lapgston was also at the Postoffice
Department He seems to enjoy the sport,
was 10 excellent spirits, and says the end is
uos yet. Altogether, affairs in the republi.
can party of Virginia are iu chaotic condi.
ton, and ifthe "kickers" have the numerical
strength they profess to have, lively times
may be expected if they be not allowed
their share of the swag. while if the5 are al
lowed that share, the bargain with Malone
will be broken, AID then those who know
the General also know there will be music
in the air.
An Alexandria county democrat here to-
day says the democrats in his county will
meet TO elect delegates to their State conven'
ton next Thursday night; that they are
only entitled to two delegates, and that
those two will probably be Messrs. Frank
Hume and Curtis Graham.
Republicans here to day from Richmond,
Va.rsay it is understood in inside republican
circles there, that Mr.. Gubbs who Col. Bra
dy said would be appointed postmaster,
would have the minor place of deputy COL
lector of internal revenue for Richmond
given to him, General Malone having con-
sented that he should have that place, ioas-
much as his, Mahone's, favorlte for thepost
master there would be appointed.
The Virginia republican who recently in
ormed the GAZETTE's correspondent that
MIR. Charles Lee, son of R II. Lee, was an
applicant for the Berryville postofflce, is 10
the city again to day. He Gays he was mis-.
taken about the name of the father, but not
about that of the applicant. His name. he
says, is Charles R. Lee, that he ia young
lawyer of Berryville, relative of the
Revolutionary Lee, the only Virginia Lse
he knows who is republican, and that he
will probably get the place a5 HE applica-
ton is endorsed by Mr.. George W. ChiIds of
the Philadelphia Ledger, whose influence ia
potential with Postmaster General Wanna

nephew of Mr.. r. 81. Lse of Clarke and Mr..
