THE Bounty Land Warrants issued to
Il the soldiers and volunteers in the Mex
lean War, have come into general use in
entering government Lands, and great saw
ing is thus gained to the settler, as the war

duce the cost of United States Lands to one
dollar per acre.
These Warrants can be used by settlers
in locating lands upon which they have made

Constructive Mileage.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Goth, Isl

WAsHINGToN, Oct Goth, 1S49.
Senators in Congress will no longer be
allowed to fitch from the public Treasury
under the spurious claim for constructive
mileage For years past, on the advent of
every new Administration, the Senate has
been in the habit of charging full mileage
for attendance at the special executive ses-
sion Of that body, in addition to the amount
received at the regular session.
OF course this usage had its origin dur
ing the dynasty of peculators; but it was
killed few days since by that incorrupti-
BILE guardian of the peoples money, the
Hon. Elisha Whittlesey, first Comptroller
of the Treasury.
1t seems that claim came up in usual
form, for $4,000, paid by A. Dickens,
Esq, clerk OF the senate, for constructive
mileage in attendance at the special session
in March, and that every member of the
Senate save three, received pay. Who
those three are have not yet learned, far
Their than that Gen. Cass is one.
Mr.. Whittlesey, after full elaboration,
was of opinion that the claim ought not to
be allowed. Fearing however, that the Adj
ministration might regard this as an mop
Fortune occasion for such action as might
dispease the Senate, he stated the case to
the President, through Mr. Clayton, and adj
ded the remark that, if it was not thought
proper to act in accordance with his, (Mr.
WIS., convictions, he should resign the
Comptrolership.
The Presidents prompt and characteristic
ic reply, was, "Tell MIR. Whitlesey to do
what is right and let the consequences take
care of themselves" The claim was inn
media,ely rejected.
MIR. Dickens has his remedy against the
honorable Senators, and tits 10 be hoped that
they will Immediately "make restitution"

To PROTECT STEAM BOILERS FROM Cor

poses to pour small quantity of coal tar
into the boiler just before the steam is to
be got up. The tar when thrown into boil

upon all sides of the boiler with singular
uniformity, thus forming kind of graphite
