The Prices Confederate Soldiers Had to
Pay for Supplies.
Admiral Foote Post, G.. A. R., No.
II, of this city, has come into posses.
sion of quite treasure in the shape Of
an old Confederate war chest, which
was obtained under the following cir
| cumstances:
On Memorial day, 1875, when the
post was engaged in decorating the
graves Of the soldiers in Grove street
cemetery, they found gravestone
upon which was Confederate flag,
to which was fastened a card bearing
the words, Boys, take my flag" as II
in token OF surrender.
The grave was that of j. M. Pearl,
who died in 1874, and who was for
merly in the Confederate service. The
grave was strewn with flowers by the
boys in blue. In appreciation of this
'raternal act j. L. Pearl, the father
of the deceased Confederate soldier,
who was himself paymaster on the
Confederate steamer Morgan, gave tho
Admiral Foote Post an old chest con.
tanning some very valuable papers.
In the collection are papers and let
ters bearing the signature of Admiral
franklin Buchanan, who commanded
the celebrated Merrimac in her fight
with the Monitor and who also was in
command Of the ram Tennessee, which
Farragut sunk Aug. s, 1864. Among
other documents are those signed by
Capt. Ebenezer Farrand, Lieut.. Com
mander w. E. Renshaw, Commander
George w. Harrison, 8. D. Mallory,
the Confederate secretary of the navy,
and others.
The papers are very interesting in
showing how huge were the prices for
everything in 1864, when the Confed-
eracy was on it's last legs Secretary
Mallory replied to one of Paymaster
Pearls requests for money, and says
that the amount Of 81, 500 asked for by
him will be sent as soon as congress
makes the further appropriations.
L. Merchant & Co., of Mobile, fur
nished some necessary articles for the
steamer Morgan, and the prices were
as follows:

The City Post-Omce,
THE PosTMAsrER-GENERAL EXPECTED TO MAKE
VISIT OF INSPECTION.

THE PoSTMASTER-GENERAL EXPECTED TO MAKE A
VISIT OF INSPECTION.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker has ex-
pressed much interest in the condition Of af-
airs at the Washington city post-ofice, and will
probably soon take some action that will settle
the important questions pending. These are
whether the Office shall be removed, as author
lied by law, to the court of the pension build
ing, and what amount of rent shall be paid
Tor the present quarters if the Office remains
IN them. As the last pOst-office appropriation
provides Jumped sum for the rent of Offices
the amount to be paid is a matter to be deter
mined by the Postmaster General. Postmaster
Ross has, i'll letter, informed the Postmaster
General of the situation of the office. Mr..
Ross thinks the recent enlargement of the Office
by the addition of the lean to" on the
parking on Louisiana avenue and the addi-
tlonal room secured by the removal from the
building of the mailbag depository makes the
necessity for seeking other temporary quarters
less urgent. 1t is not thought that the money
provided to pay the expenses of moving the office
to the pension building and fitting up the pen
sion court for post-ofice purposes is sufficient.
1t is expected that the Postmaster General will
soon make visit of inspection to the city post
Office.
