CAUTION AGAINST SPECTATORS.

1t is a we'll known fact, that immense for
tunes were made out of the poor soldiers who
shed their blood in the revolutionary war, by
spectators, who preyed upon their distresses.
A similar system of depreciation was practsed
upon the soldiers of the last war. And now
we find by the St Louis Union of the 9Th
inst, that the sharpers are already at work at
New Orleans. waiting for the volunteers as
they return from the war, and bouncing upon
them the moment they land in the city. We
call upon all our brethren to warn the volun-
teers of the tricks and frauds which will be
practised upon them in all arts of the coun-
try, and to put them upon their guard against
these harpeS. If they DO nothing more, we
beg them to republsh the following article
from the &c St. Louis Union:' -
&C In converslng with the gallant Illinois
lans who have Just returned from Gen. SCOTS
army, we We're sorry to learn that many of the
| priyates, whilst in New Orleans, were induced
to sell their certificates. Not knowing the
importance of retaining those evidences OF
their service, they parted with them to sharp
ers, who, regardless of the soldiers welfare
eXtorted from them the bounty to which they
were entitled. Each one of those privates is
entitled to 100 acres of land, and yet many Of
them sold their bounty for less than fifty dol
lars. We learn that there is set of persons
in New Orleans who make it regular bust
ness to seize upon the returning volunteers
and buy their certificates for a trif1ing sum
1t is thus they fitch from men who have beer
battling for their country the fruits of ma
tons gratitude. In most cases, gross mpos
ton is prac1ised. If a volunteer parts will
his certificate, knowing its value, no one ha
a right to complain; but if deceived as to it
importance, he is outrageously wronged, ant
the Shylock who abuses him deserves unmiti
gated execration.'
1t is far better for the soldiers to preserv
these evidences of their service as long as pos
slble-at all events, not to act too hastily blu
take time, and consult with their friends a
home about the proper disposition of their Ger
tificates. Meanwhile, we may state that, &C
cording to the act OF February last, all sales

which to experiment on the Illinois soil. In
