deems it advisablelto say that copies
of the army rolls cannot be furnished
from his Office, He adds that all
applications for bounty lands must.
pass through the Pension Office, Gun
der the direct On of the Secretary of
the lnterior,) and regular certificates
of service will be furnished to the
Commissioner of Pensions, by the
| Third Auditor, asisnow the practice
in regard to all claims for pension or
bounty land. "--Augusta Conslitu-
tionalist
The New York CORRESPONDENT of
the Philadelphia Enquirer says:
THE bounty land bill has, created
a great sensation of JOY among some
of the spectators in this city. The
failure of the engrossing clerk TO put
in the provision that ''the party to
whom the warrant is issued shall en-
ter the land himself" and which was
contained :pthe bill passed, renders
the whole nugatory. The conse-
quence is, that those who hold old
warrants will have a better opportu-
nifty to dispose of them, as the defec-
tive bill cannot be remedied until the
next session of Congress-" "amqaila
Il is a fact worth noting that the
Fugitive Slave Bill obtained butthir-

and McGeughey of Indiana. Z
