 The bill proposes that he increased pay of two dollars month shall take place from the month of May last: That all persons volunteering for six months and who have seen three months of service in the field, shall receive the extra pay of two dol lars. Those rendering the same service and term of service are also allowed l60 acres of land belong ing to the United States which shall have been sub ject to entry for ten years or more previous to the date of their warrant The warrant is granted to all who render the service.
 The widow, or if no widow. wife or children of those killed in battle or dying Tn the service are also entii led 10 the land. The land warrants are to be located within years from their date in order to be valid.
