II is .nggesled by Il writerin the Balti-
clOTc Patrol, and the suggestion is pro
baby correct, that it is the intention of
MIR. CLAY 10 eudeayour 10 procure AT The
next seS;on the passage of alaw autho-
r;zlng communication of soldiers bounty
lands Tor m0ney, atthe rate of one dollar
per acre. This measure, il appears 10 US,
would beequaly advantageous 10 both
parties; Ia the natiGn and 10 The soliier.
the one would save AT least fifty per cent.
OF the actual amount of The bounty,
computing the land al IT'S lowest real va
iue OF two dollars per acre, and The latter
~oulU gain at least one hundred per cent
on the amount of his sale, if now made
| There Is such an emulation among the
soldiers 10 sell their patents tue moment
they obtain them, that sales are frequent
~ made, il is said, at 80 dollars for the
! loo acres. 1t is desirable, for the interest
| of the soldiers, that the intention TO intro
duce such proposition should be gene
rally known. The effect ola diffusion of
| this information will be, if not to prevent
| the soldier from selling, TO secure TO him IA
| price nearer the value of his land than he
can now obtain. IL.
