Bounty Lands to the Volunteers.

We invite attention the provisions of the following
General Order, adopting measures for the prompt settle
ment of claims for bounty land or treasury scrip, by dis
charged volunteer soldiers Wecannot too strongly urge
upon volunteer officers the necessity of making them
selves acquainted with the regulations and of fully com
plying with its requirements, they, in the first instance
must furnish the requisite evidence which such claims
will be adjudicated.
AS the volunteers first called into the service were
drawn principally from the west and south, we would
suggest the expedency of circulating this regulation
widely in the quarter where such information may be
most useful
