Records of the Late War. ?Speoial to tho Atlanta Constitution.] NEW YORK, Junuary 2.-On tho truin yesterday I met a soldierly looking, quiet gentleman, who is doing a moro importuut work for the South than any mnn enlisted in lier service. It was General Marcus J. Wright, who has had cburge for tho pust year or two of tho collection, compilation and publication of tito Confederate archives. General Wright was oallcd to this work by unanimous consent aud bas proved so ad inirubly lil for thc task ho hus undertaken that his selection seems to bc little less than ou inspiration. Scholarly, able, discrimi nating und courageous-of such unblem ished character us to command entire con fidence-he hus made a superb collection und litis edited it with consummate discre tion and skill. He gavo rae tho history ot this vast enterprise in a frank and yet modest way thut entitles it to transcription hero. M suppose," ho said, "that shortly after tho olose of the war I had the largest col lection of Confederate records to bo found anywhere. 1 felt tho importance to tho South of an curly collection of this perish able matei ial, and its publication in logical ntid durable shape. 1 knew that tho re 0 irds themselves would speak with moro authority lo posterity than any mero parti*' bau or personal history could hope to do, and I tbereforo spent tune nod money in collecting till that 1 could get. I hud al ready mndu un arrangement to publish what 1 had, Mr. Davis having advised this uourso uftcr expressing surprise at tho complete ness of my collection. Before this publication was commenced, however, the government established a bu reuu for the object of collecting and pub lishing tho records on both sides. This obviated tho oe Casi ty of my work, and I wrote to General Townsend, turning over my collection to him for publication in the government books. Shortly afterwards I went to Washington on other business, and found tho Southern Congressmen dissutis ficd tcCause there was no Confed?ralo rep rc8cntativo in tho burcnu. There were few Confoderoto reoords in possession of thc government except those captured ut Biob mond und those sent?n by mo. Confede rate officers ns u rulo were disinclined to send their records to a bureau in which they hud no representative, and there was great danger that the publication would bo mude, with our sido of it weak and in completo. Casey Young, of Tennessee, complained to the Secretary of V/ur, who promptly suw tho reasonableness of thc complaint and agreed that u Confed?rale should bc appointed. General Townsend to whom tho mutter was referred suggested ?my name, and I agreed to accept under .certain conditions that wore nt once com plied with. I entered upon thc work, und havo been engaged ot it ever si nee." BRINGING) UP ALI. TUE HKCOHDS. "With whut success have you worked?*' "With more than I could have hoped fur. I havo succeeded in getting four times us many records as tho government bau* when I went there, und 1 may say that tho chain ?8 now nearly complote. Tho Confederate records will bo almost, if not quite, us full as tho Federal records, nod lois in moro than any ono could have hoped for. 1 went personally to tho indian Territory and succeeded in getting thc records of that department without th? loss of u pu per. I havo gone everywhere thut I saw a ohuncu of supplying u link of evidence. I suc ceeded in getting copies of nil tho records of tho Southern historien! society-of itself a most important oolleotion. The offieors of tho Confederacy havo felt no hesitation in entrusting their records to us, and have helped in every possible way. I am now having copies made of all Mr. Davis's papers, and his attest put upon enoh oopy." "How will tho publication bo made?" ?.AB follows: Col. ll. N. Scott, of tho F?deral army, hus obargo of tho Federal ? reoords. Ho is assisted by Captains Hart ley nod Craigie. I havo ohargo of tho Coufedcruto records, and Major Harvio assists ino. Wo tnko tho ovcots of tho war os they oouio in order of timo, treat ing oaoh battlo and campaign separately. To shew how wo cover a battlo, let us take tho first Munassas. First wo publish tho official report of General McDowell, who commanded tho Federals; thou thc oiliciul report ol Goncral Johnston, commander of tho Confederates. Then follows tho re ports of tho Fcdorul corps commanders, und tho Confedoruto corps com mand?is Then ootuo tho division und regimental and ooujpunv reports for eaoh side. After this is published tho field notes from oaoh sido, and you buvo no iden how important and interesting uro these littlo held notes, soratohed off hastily in tho bout of battle I on tho pom und of saddles. They aro like flushes of lightning thut show up tho battle vividly. After tho field notes come thc correspondence of each general command ing with his department or president 01 ooiumaoder-in chief. Dy this process wc get the buttlo from every possible point ol view." "Hew many books havo been published?' "Thcro oro thrco volumes about roady These nearly complete tho history of tlx your 1801, covering tho Charleston nm Fort Sumter afluir, tho battlo of Muuassns and tito lights iu tho Peninsula. Th whole series will fill from 80 to 100 vol I unies. Tho books uro printed in lon| primer, the letters and orders being put ii J smaller typo. Wo shall bo ublc to mov much faster hereafter aud hope to couolud the year 1802 by thc nest us.-rombling o Cougrcss. " .'How can these books bo obtained." ..They can bc purchased by depositing $ a volume with A. F. Childs, chief oler government printing office, Washington, U C. Tho voluino covering tiny special cum puign CHU bo ordered, any port of n sc ordercil Th oso who wish any of thes books will do well to apply at oucc, ns No York booksellers ure ordering heavily un will duublcss ruisc tho price very mud The government sells ut actual cost. Thci isonebookof tho series for which thcro wi be a duimmd. Thut is u completo rest? of every commissioned officer of tho Con federate urmy, where bo was enlisted, pro moled, and what bcoamo of him. Th will be thc official record-mid will bo va liable to thc families of t be-so officers wi served-aud especially of those who wei I killed." V*What developments have you noticed i tho record so fur?" "L, lind a good many mistake opinions vanishing under tho figures of tl record. [ should hnvc mentioned, that i I closing tho records of buttle, wc priut tl official returns of tho force in eaoh arni I issued bolero tho buttle. Now, it hos bc? generally thouttht thai ot tho first Mi missus thc Federals vastly outnumbered u The records show that they hud only abo 8,000 tho advantage in point of uninboi each army having about 35,000 men. thought they had at leant 70,000. suppose us wo complete tho records other battles wc shall dispel many popul errors." "You do not find thnt tho samo mista exists ai to comparative numbers througl out thc war?" '.Oh, no sir. Thc records show incoi tcstnbly that for four years wo waged a w with tho proportion of three lo one agair us. Tho records show that tho Fcden bad, from, first to lust, 2,700,000 in thc fie I can only approximate tito Confederate tal, but it is Bufo to say that it will not e: coed 800,000. The study of tito recoi on both sides bas increased my admiran for tho valor und prowess of my poop without depreciating my estimutc of t bravery of the Federal troops." '.Don't tim records show that the ere of a battle is frequently misplaced?" ?'Yes That is prob ibly tho most strikt feature of discovery. For instance, at I battlo of Lliohrjond, Ky , a very brillii mai ojvrc was executed by which Gene Preston Smith's brigrado was deploy rapidly ana thrown on thc flunk nf ? enemy, giving us a victory over an ar double ours in number, and thc capture thousnnda of prisoners. The credit of t hus beet) given to General Kirby Smi but tho records shew that Goncral Pres Smith conceived thc movement und exct ed it on bis own responsibility without orders or knowledge of General Ki Smith. A great muny cuses of this t will bo brought to light." "Whoso reports ure tho clearest nod 1 from tho Confed?rate side?" "General Lee's beyond comparison, pu pore ure perfection. Ho never wrot< linc ur issued un order that did not h thc! sanio dignity und perspicuity thu would have h ul if prepared under the u deliberate circumstances The sligh serup from him, boura thc i m presa of gr ness. Of tho onvalry generals, Wheel reports ure the most admirable. Ind his are hardly equalled by ?ny of our p Orals, They nro clear, completo und s dierly. Indeed, when the records si what perfect confidence till our leaders in Wheeler, and willi what pr?cision fidelity bo performed his duty, ho bo considered ono of tho first mon of war." "Wh-.t papers uro you most struck v from tho other side?" '.Well, ospooinlly, I should say that f MoOlornand's roport of Shiloh is tho I singlo official report, porhnps, rondcred c battlo during tho war. Dut tho pu| that fill mo with ama&cincnt and admira oro President Lincoln's. Ali, thoro WOB one of tho greatest of mon. Ho, perhaps, trusted loss of his work to an amanuensis than any other leuding man. Nearly all his orders wcro written by his own hand, and tho originals wore forwarded, tho oopics of thom being kept. His lotter to Hooker removing him from command was n muster piece. Liko Hamlet to his mothor, it is kind and yet severe-and matchless. I think posterity will adjudge Lincoln and Leo to bo tho really tho grout men of thc era of tho war. .'HOB Mr. Davis availed himself freely of tho rocords in pr?paration of his forth coming historj?" "Yes. Ho baa had thousands of copies made, 1 should say. His research has been perfect, aud he will hardly stat > anything for "which ho will not be ready with his authority. If Mr. Davis can only keep his personal antagonisms out of his book it will bo a standard authority." "Havo you tho letter of Gen. llnrdco de clining to tako Johnston's placo os comman der of tho army of Teuucssce?" "Yes sir; und a most admirable lcttor it is. It is n frank soldierly letter in which tho promotion is declined simply bo oauso tho writer felt that ho was not' oapablo of filling thc position. General Hurdcc's reports wcro all models of ex . cellenco." "Do you havo any sort of disagree mont with Colonel Scott as to tho ar rangement of mutter as to what shall bo printed?" "None ot all. Our agreement ts perfect. Thcro is but ono wish, und that is tu pub lish tho records just na they aro und lot tho work 6tuud ou tho records. As for Colonel Scott, ho is peculiarly fitted for thc work ho han in charge. By ?ducation, temperament und inclination, ho is tho very man for tho task. Ho is tho embodiment of fairness." 1 tuko the liberty of adding that General Wright is all thut ho claims for Colonel Soott. The people of tho South may rely absolutely on u fair and square representa tion of their oaso just as it stands. General Wright will seo that her soldiers, living and dead, aro put on tho record they made for themselves-and this is all that any of us could ask. In doing this he will build a monument to his comrades higher and whiter than any yet uplifted to tho sun, nnd will merit tho gratitude of every Southerner, II. W. G. Using tho Newspaper. The ordinary newspaper publisher has an idea that ho knows what ho wants to print, and what his patrous want to .read, better thuu almost uny body else. Ile believes this because ho thinks thut experience has taught him something about pieper newspaper mut ter which an inexperienced person docs nut know. Ho usually publishes a paper as o busiuess enterprise, and Gads it to his inter cst to publish it in that mun uer which wi I obtain for him thc greatest number of intel ligcut and satisfied readers His idea ii something like that of a railroad conductor who thinks ho knows how fast his trail should bc run much better than tho impa tient passenger. Ho means to uocommoduU tho greatest number to thc extent of hi; facilities, and is ublo, therefore, to pay little heed to thc ad vice or oom plaints of individual: whoso grutilioution might loud to thc inoou VOnionoo uud dissatisfaction of hundreds o others. Thc ordinary advocate of a oauso, on tin other hand, whether that cause bc relig?os charitable, social, or even private enterprise for personal profit hus an idea that ho know better what should bo put in tho paper that tho editor hus, nnd has his own opinion a to tho placo and style in which his prcciou article or item should appear. Wo, all of us ure moro or leas affooted with tho weaknes: which makes us believe thut tho sn bj ec most directly interesting to us is equal\ interesting to others; that what wc ar thinking of is also constantly in tho thought of others. To discover that such is no tho case is a oausc of astonishment, not t [ say grief; to bo informed that othor pcopl aro thinking of soinothing clso and desir to hear uud read of something else, is ni insult. Tho newspaper muu, who hus t keep informed about what everybody i intcrstcd in, thinks ho knows better thu a person who has made no study of tho sui: ject, what will bo interesting reading um what will net. Ho known what will sc his pupor und unless ho is publishing it fe tho sake of philanthropy or religion or sooiu or what not, instead of to soil, ho make thc sale n measure of its popularity. Th assumtion, of course, isthat tho journal i a rcspcotablc ono, and would not publish in proper matter for the suko of increasing il temporary circulation. Tho uim of tho publishers is, thcrofoi to glVO each subject the space, and COHSpiou ousucss it deserves in comparison with til other subject treated of iu thut issuo. J his judgment docs not nocord with that < some individual, tho individual may bo oci tuin thut if ho did it would not accord wit the judgment of somebody else. If tl man who complains of too much spot tin nows hear tho ono who growls bee.msc i much room is given to rcligous mooting ho would feel that editor, in trying to stci clear of Scilla, would bo apt to be dashc to peaces upon Charybdis, Tho cditi tries to avoid both by steering between, an give ? to ouch tho space it deserves in a nev sense, ns that is tho only senne which in news paper, not a religious or sporting orga can bo exercised. Tho comparison is no perhaps, a fair ono, since tho ad va n tage in tl Way of increasing sales is largely with tl sporting news, while tho oluims of tl religious nows aro coercive, if not bindii) Tho comparison would bo fairer betwet thofi? who complaiu of too muoh politic and tltoso who find fault bcoouso of au ex ocas of cr i m i un I news. Everybody will uot be satisfied with all that is published; tho aim is to inaku all dissatisfied with as little ss possible Tho potent medicino mau, tho uow washing machine inventor, or tho auctioneer, aro angry bcoauso their anounoc* uicnts ouunot ho scattered down among tho local items, but to satisfy them would dis please a few thousand readors, and so they are put in thc proper place. Tho old ladies' society for thc cultivation of toa among the Utes is to hold a mcoting nnd straightway EOvcral columns of matter pertaining to tho aims aud history of tho society is sent to tito newspaper. As no one would road it but tho lidies themselves, it is cut down to o btiok full, nnd makes un interesting item ihut everybedy will read, nnd contuius all they euro to know about it. When Pro fessor Goodcttuso oomes to interest tho pee? plo, ho wu nts tho best reporter on the foroo, and about two columns of space. If ho dont got just tho Bpaoo uud just tho style of type ho thinks lie deserves, ho makes a fuss about it, and his frieuds fall iu and say they thiaic ho hasn't becu trcutcd just right. There nro a good many people who aro equally dillioult to please; they urogouerully those who aro under the most obligations for favors received at tho hands of tho press. Most newspaper men huve a good deni of this sort of experience. Tho everugo citizen, who takes his Dcwspupor and puya for it, and rends for what ho can got out of it, that is interesting to himself, who hus uo axo to grind, uo oausc to plead, and business to advertiso for nothing, ?3 tho man who finds much that he likes, and is fuir onough to recognize that what docs not interest him is likely to interest somebody else, lie is sen sible enough to at onco seo that thc publisher has better means of judging what ?3 likely to bo rond by thc greatest number of sub scribers (han he has, und is likely to out down his ciruulution by publishing for his own amusement that which uo Olio cares to read. Ho also knows his owu right to stop his pnper when ho thinks it dusu't givo him thc worth of his money, and holds that power in reservo to exercise whenever ho is so disposed.
