Extra Pay 10 Volunteers.
WASHINGTON, ia

WASHINGTON, July IS, 1913.
Dear SIR An act has recently passed both
Houses of Congress, allowing three months extra
Pay, 10 all the officers and soldiers who have serv
cd in the with Mexico.
The claims for this allowance will not have to
be sent here for settlement; but paymasters will
be sent into the several States--perhaps TO the
several county towns, to make payment, directly,
to those who entitled to receive it. This is an
excellent arrangement; for it will prevent the de-
lay and save the expenses which so many soldiers
have suffered AT the hands of spectators, in get
ting their claims through the Offices at Washing
ton, which, :. by hook crook IN many instan-
ces, have consumed large proportion--n some
cases, more than half the amount of the claim.
am informed that due public notice will be
given of the times and places which the pay
master will attend. 1t is expected that Major
Macln will make the payments ia Arkansas,
desire you TO make this communication public,
in order that my old comrades may know not only
1chdt they are to receive, but also, holc they are
to receive it; and, thus, hold their claims for their
full value.
Very respectfully,
SOLON BORLAND.

August 18th, 1913.
Dear Sm:-I see by Capt. C. NJ. CIay's last
letter in regard to his conduct when taken priso-
ner at Encarnation, that he charges Capt. C. C.
Danley with making false statments in relation to
his Capt. Danley's) being prohibited the privi-
lege of visiting the prisoners whilst in Mexico.
can add my testimony TO that Of Stephen and Jo-
seph testers, that Capt. Daney never visited us
but once during our confinement, Of this feel al
most positive. | noted that occasion because he
smuggled in at the time with some clothing; and
as soon as he was discovered by the Mexicans,
he was turned out. We all understood that Capt.
Daney was not permitted TO visit us, because he
voted to fight, at encarnation. This much is due
to a brave and gentlemanly officer.

The COmpromiEe Bill Killed.

From the Washington Union Of the 29th ult.,
learn thatthe compromise bill, as it is called
the bill :. to establish the territorial government
Oregon was laid on the table in the House of Re
presentatives, by vote Of / II yeas to 81 nays.
This bill presented to the Senate from
committee of three wings and three democrats,
spe-haIf from slave States and the other half from
free States. 1t was reported by Mr.. Clayton Of
Delaware, and sustained by an able speech; and
passed that body by vote Of 81 yeas TO 23 nays.
The whole southern delegation in the House were
against laying it on the table but eight members,
and these eight wero aghigs. Upon a calculation
it seems that if these eight votes had been cast
with the rest of their southern brethren this vexed
question of slavery, which much agitates the
country and endangers the safety Of our institu
tions would have been settled. The responsible
ty then rests upon them, of the consequences that
may follow their unfortunate action.

The Missing Letter.

When the rumor reached here that Gen. Tay-
ior had not received the letter of Gov. Morehead
announcing his nomination by the whig conven-
bic wings in this place, without the shadow Of a
circumstance, other than the suspicious that haunt
ed their own breasts, openly declare that, without
doubt, the letter had been purloined by some - To-
coloco post rhaster'' 10 prevent Gen. Taylor from
responding TO his nomination. We tlcught that
tain such a suspicion. We never could suspect
any postmaster of doing such thing because ho
was a whig, and therefore did not see how any
man. not blinded by prejudice, could entertain
such sentiment, we dismissed the matter believ-
ing that time would put all things right.
And time has done that thing. II seems after
all, much fuss, that that letter was refused by
Gen. Taylor, at Baton Rouge, together with some
fifty others; merely because the postage on them
aUas unpaid, and they were all returned TO the
Dead Letter Office. This is treating the patriotic
friends of the General, who since the 9th June
have been ready to die for him, quite caUaZierly; !;
for no doubt these seUen dollars and thirty cents
gestons, all of which have been lost by the Gem
erals refusal to receive them.
Gen. Taylor's anxiety to become rich, induced
him TO practice economy, which may be right
enough, although it shows great parsimony in one
who seeks the honor of the Republic; yet it is
unjust to visi. on the heads of innocent '"Iocofoco
post mas ters" the act of the old hero.
