The Union makes great ado over a
misprint of the date of letter written by
General SMITH, an extract Of which was
embodied in Mr.. CRAwFoRD's report ac-
companying the documents in the War
Office relating to the California question.
As the extract spoke Of matters which
transpired subsequent to the date given
as misprinted-the error was corrected by
the contents of the paper itself. General
SMITH informs the Department that the
proclamations Of General RILEY were pre-
pared for publication before Mr.. KING ar
rived in California. Indeed, since the
publication of General MAsoN's proclama-
ton, after official intelligence of the peace
had been received in California; his
report of his proceedings after that event;
and the publication of General RILEY's
proclamation and report; together with
the notification of the War Office during
Mr.. PoLK's administration, of the recep-
ton of General MAsoN's proclamation
after the peace, without any disclaimer Of
that document or what was done suisse
quent to its promulgation--the persistence
of the Union in misrepresenting the facts
can alone be attributable to hardihood
which revels in wrong.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
BOUNTY LANDS.


Mr.. COBB, OF Alabama, by unanimous consent,
and IN accordance with previous notice, introduced
bill 10 provide for all American soldiers not here
tofore provided for with bounty land, which was
read twice, and referred to the Committee on Pub
lie Lands. 7E.TT 4
The House resumed the consideration of the rcso.
luton reported yesterday by Mr.. SwEETzEa, ask
ing that the Committee ON Mileage be instructed
10 compute the mileage OF members upon the near
est mail route upon which mail coaches or other
convenient conveyances run from the residence Of
members TO the seat of government. There were
several proposed amendments pending.
Mr.. SWEETZER, after few preliminary re-
marks, said that he was willing to put construc-
ton OF the law as opposed 10 the practice of the
House for thirty years.
Mr.. HOUSTON inquired whether the preamble
TO The resoution--that the answers Of members in
reply 70 the circular asking how many miles they
had tfavelled--applicd 10 alp
Mr.. SWEETZER said that he had not examined
all the answers but he thought that the preamble
was not intended to apply to all the members. The
ordinary rule which governs men in their business
should be adopted with regard TO the allowance of
mileage, and ss set forth In the resolution. He
was not willing that money should be taken out of
the treasury indirectly when il could not be taken
out directly. IL gentlemen did not approve Of the
resolution, they could vote IL down. He did not
intend to be driven from his position by the
ton that il was introduced for buncombcl The
practice OF the House for the last thirty years has
been wrong. During the twcnty seventh Congress
a resolution was passed, which in effect charged
mat every man who was at that time member Of
tho House wss guilty Of stealing paper, envelopes,
and sealing wax, and in place Of these a fixed
amount OF money was allowed.
Mr.. WHITE said that II his friends would sustain
him he would endeavor to bring the debate 10
close and he moved tho previous question. II WINS
not seconded.
Mr. GREEN, in the course Of his remarks said
That nc was member Of the last COMMITTEES on

tering the law according 10 lie letter The resolu-
uon called upon the House 20 declare legal false
hood There should, he thought, be some change

Mr. THOMPSON, Of Mississippi, in reply to the
Gentlenan from Ohio, (Mr. SwfErzEa, y said that
the resolution allowing money, in lieu Of stationc-
ry, 70 the members, intended TO reflect on one
member only, and IL was understood nj tho time

Prince, (says the Boston JownoI,) we have dates

We are indebted to n mercantile firm for the fol-
lowing extract of letter from an American at Port
au Prince:

tory demand that justice be donc--not one whose
first step will be to salute flag belonging 20 gov
