LOCAL MATTERS. Thc City Hull Site. The IMspatch ls anxious that this rpics tion should bc thoroughly discussed be? fore Um corner-stone of thc building is laid, so that UM community may feel that the right fifi has bSSB selected. To that end the following 9AUH91BMI of a council? man is published; to that end any proper article in favor of the old site will hu puh? lished: 1 The committee recently determined that DO Change should 1m made in the location Of the new Cltv that of Um old site with Dr. property added.

''This settles it. The committee spoken. It not matter that the old Swan-Tavern I is the one the people want, the lot the City Engineer mends, thc lot the Mayor, after eouauBa timi with our wisest and most public spirited citizen-, reeomsMQda; the lol which, if improved hy the new hall, would give such an impetus to contiguous pro? perty would add thousands of dollar- to the property of thc city; Um moat commanding, most availahle, BMMl nieiit, and finally the mo-t economical lot which could he selected. Thc Swan-Ta? vern lot is most commanding because ii li on the crest of Bhockoe Hill, thc plateau hounded hv Eighth and Ninth -tints Broad and Marshall being tin-highest point on that hill. It is most availahle becaflM the land ls covt red only hy frame build? ings nf the ebespeat It is meei convenient because Um street-sen pe and repeat every live minutes bringing every section of the city in Immediate connection with it, thereby avoiding in had weather any walking to reach the etty officiate.

It is Um most economical bCCaoae the entire site will not cost the city over 150,000, while the old site, with Dr. Tupper'- pro? perty, will sooner or later have to he add? ed to by Um purchase of the church pro? perty, and will cost not less than 175,000. Barely 'Hmcommittee' will not contend, after havl lg visited thc northern and west? ern cities, that a city hall can be huilt on the old sic, and adjoining the church, of the same architectural beauty as one on the nhl Swan-Tavern lot. If it dees, thc money spent on their trip was aa neeleaa if thc hank-notes had bees thrown into the Jamel river." It may he added that the Swan-Tavern from Broad street to tba alley, from Eighth to a food deal larger than the old City-Hall lot. Dr.

'Flipper's, and the chureh-lof included. Thc Connell Committee can have hut one desire in thc serve thc city in the beat possible manner, lookingnoi only to the present hut to the future. It must not be luppeeed that the com? mittee are unanimously In favor of the old city-Hall lot. On the contrary, a ma? jority of them are now bettered beef Um opinion that if the -wan-Tavern lot (tm be obtained at a price not exorbitant thal it should he bought, lt i- understood that UM price asked is about 105,000, Dr. lot will cost 040.000; the old city-Hall lot i- probably Which, if correct, would make the Swan Tavern lot cost the city 020,0 K) more than the other: hut there would be at hast a third more ground.

The following Washington is from yesterday's New York Tribune, and dated thc 1.1th: Thc appointment by the Postmaster general of Miss Van Lew, of Richmond, as a clerk, at a salary of a year, has opened a rich vein of war reminis? cences in the minds of men who were ac? tors In the scenes before Richmond during the last sixteen months of the reltellion. One of these men ls Colonel P. H. Parker, who ls now chief inspector of the Post-of? fice Department.

He enlisted as a private soldier In a volunteer comjiany in hatau qua county, N. early in 18(51, was pro? moted, and afterward he organized the postal service of the Army of thc Poto? mac. Colonel Parker was with General Grant after he assumed command of the armies of the United States, and made his headquarters with the Army of the Po? tomac. In recent conversation Colonel Parker snid: "I know Van Lew very well. I made lier personal acquaintance the dav Richmond fell, but 1 bad known of her long before that.

When General Grant had hi- headquarters at City Point we used to receive the Richmond newspapers in time for brenkfast every morning through the kindness of Miss Van Lew. Of course the newspapers were very interesting, and toa considerable extent vain able, but other in? telligence received from the same source was of much greater importance. Miss Van Lew had a trusty Union was a clerk In the Adjutant funeral's Department at lllchmond, where he had access to the turns showing the strength of the rebel regunenta, brigades, divisions, and corps, their Where they were stationed. From him in? valuable information found its way to Gen? eral Grant regularly through Miss Yan Lew's instrumentality. She alto had a man in the Engineer Department, and be niide beantttntty'accurate plans ol the rebel defences around Rtohmond and Pe? tersburg, which were promptly forwarded to General (irant.

a ixion AsssT in ussr rsums, "Then Miss Van Lew got young Ross, nephew of Franklin Steams, the iii li Unionist of Richmond, appointed to an office in Libby Prison. Rom helped a gnat many of our officer! Ul escape from that horrible place, and so well did he play his part that not only was he not suspected by Um Confederates, but Um most of our boys in the prison who did not escape consider? ed bbs one of the most brutal of their jailers, and when the end came would have been very glad ta pul au end to him. Sev? eral years ago 1 met Captain Lotmobery, who bad been confined in Libby, ami he asked me about Hoss, who died several years ago. was burnt up in the Spotswood Hot Lotinsbery said that one afternoon came into the prison as usual to call the roll, eure? bia the Yankees, and as he neared him said In a low tone, Re in my OBCC at fcSO Lounsbery did not know what to make of this, but be determined to find out what it incant. To his surprise be had no difficulty in getting to the otliee peal several guard-.

taCO there he found BOOS, who gruffly -aid: 'See here, I have con? cluded to try you and see you can do cooking. (Jo in there and look around. See what you can find, and I will -ec to four eaaf after Lounsbery went into a back room, where he found a complete Confederate uniform hanging over a chair. He took in the situation in? st ditly, and donned the uniform as speedily IS possible and walked back into the Office, which he found vacant, and stepped mit into the street. The guard did not slop him.

and lie had walked only a few Steps from thc door when a black man aCCOlted bun and asked if he desired to lind the way lo Mi-- Van Lew's house. Ile replied that be did. and was guided to her residence, on Church Hill, where he wis secreted un? til an Opportuntty was found to get him mit of llichinond. He got off safety and came into our hms. oolossd ornum ros bscatbb rsnmyssa, Uss V.m Lew kept two or three bright, shaip colored men on the watch near Lili by prison, who were always ready to dncl aii i scaped prisoner to a place of safe? ty.

Not all of tie in were secreted al her there wi re several safe places of refuge iii Richmond supported by her means. Winn Colonel strelght, of Indi? ana, and hi- companions dug their way out ol Libby, he and several ol hi- eomradea sere -ceri ted for several days in Um house of a man named Ovaries, which was situ sted across a ravine only I few hundred yards from and in full view of the mansion occupied by Jefferson Davis. But Miss Van Lew was the guiding spirit, and it waa who took upon barnett the dangerooa duty of piovidiiu means of maintenance and escape for such of our men as were so fortunate as to cape from the horrible walls of Libby." WAS BSCBSVI CUKCSALBB IX BBOGAX8, How did she manage to open and keep up eorrespoodence with General Grant Well, she had a farm in thc country on Ute other side of thc James river from us and below Richmond. Every day two ol ber trusty negro servants drove Into Richmond with something to chickens, garden-truck, atc. These ne? groes wore great, strong brogans, with soles of immense thickness, made by a Rich? mond SboeUMSer, whose name 1 will not gtve because be is still living and doing bnsJneM In that city.

Shoes were pretty scarce in the Confederacy in those days but Miss Van Lew's had two pair each and changed them every day. They wore out of Richmond in the after? noon the same shoes tiny wore into the city In thc morning. The soles of these -hoe- were double and hollow, and in them were carried through Um lines letters, maps, plans, which were regularly delivered to General (irant, at City Point, the next morning. The communication 9SM kept up at our means of a stcam-laiincli, which Deed to land a scout? iisiiallv the side of the dames early'in thc night Before day? light he would communicate with Miss Van Len messenger nd return to our side ot the river. MISS TAX LEW'S IBBV1CU RKCOOMZED.

we got the news that the Con? federates were evaluating Itichmond, (Jen? eral Grant, who was at the front, heforc Petanburg, scsi back a dtspates to Col? onel Klv S. Parker, of hts staff, to go into the' etty at once and see that order was preserved and that all of Miss Van Lew's wants were supplied. I eecotSjNto nied him, and went immediately to Miss Van Lew's house to carry out General The house was tilled with many Union people. Among them was young Hoss, who said he wanted to keep out of sight, as some of our men who had been prisoners In Libby had declared they would kill him on sight. Miss Van Lew had also another refugee.

She the possessor of a "buckskin" horse, a sorry animal, and when the authorities Is-ued an order during the last dari ol the -legc to all private horses and mule- for artillery aer vlce, she had secreted this animal in her roomy mansion, having carefully padded the walls of the room with bed-clothing, so thst no noise should betray his presence. A day or two before the surrender a mob went to her place determined to de? stroy her house. She appeared and 6oon recognized some of the men in thc crowd. She addressed them, ad mitUng that she bad been In communica? tion with Mr. I can tell von.

After eneral Grant liecame President he appointed Miss Van Lew postmaster of L'i hmonc, an office which she filled ac? ceptably 11 the people for eight years. She was formerly In very comfortable clrctim itances, but has met with ri verses which lave exhausted her means, and is now glad to accept a Government clerkship, which will yield a support for herself and a bro? iler, who ls dependent upon her. Her ons and successful experience in the iiostal service ls probably a sufficient guar tntce that Miss Van Lew will make a faith 'ul and efficient Mr. Quarlcs mentioned is dead or long since removed from this city.
