Bounty LANDs.-On Tuesday of last
week the House of Representatives went
into Committee of the Whole on the state
Of the Union, and took up for consdera-
ton the bill granting bounty lands to those
who have not heretofore been provided for,
who rendered military service in the war of
1912, with Great Britain the Indian war
Of 1912; (Florda) Seminolean war of 1885,
'36, &C.; or in the war known as Gen.
Wayne's war of 1892 to 1895.
After many amendments were offered and
rejected, Mr.. Miller offered the substitute
decid on by the caucus, in effect: that
each OF the surviving commissioned and
non commissioned officers, musicians or
privates, whether regulars, volunteers, ran
gers or militia, who performed military ser
vice in any regiment, company, or detach-
ment in the service of the United States, in
the war with Great Britain, declared by the
United States on the 18Th day Of June, 1912,
or in any Of the Indian wars since 1890,
aud each of the commissioned officers who
was engaged in the military service of the
U. S in the late war with Mexico, shall be
entitled, for twelve months service, to one
hundred and sixty acres of land; for six
months service, to eighty acres; and for
three months service to forty acres of land
provided, the person so having been in ser
vice shall not receive the said land, or any
part thereof, if it shall appear, by the muster
roll Of his regiment or corps, that he desert
ed, or was dishonorably discharged from
service.
Efforts were made to amend this amend
ment. All the propositions were voted down,
and finally the committee rose, when under
the operation Of the previous question, the
amendmen. Of Mr.. Miller, as above men
toned, was concurred in, and the bill pass
ed-yeas 155, nays SO.

A VALUABLE New WHEAT.-We were
yesterday shown few heads of Wheat,
from a field Of twelve acres on the farm of
Mr.. J. E. Coad, in 81. Mary's county, (not
far from Piney Point, in Maryland, of so
remarkable quality as to deserve special
notice. The grain is bearded white
Wheat, with large heads and grains, the
average height through the whole field be-
ing at this time full six feet, of most vigo-
rous growth. Besides the product of this
field, it is remake ed that the field from which
these stalks were taken is the only field in
the neighborhood in which rust is not visi-
BILE. The seed of this Wheat was obtained
by distribution from the Patent Office, the
description Of it being bearded White
Wheat, producing forty bushels to the acre;
a prodnct which, or very nearly which, is
expected, from its present appearance, to be
realized from the field Of Mr.. Coad.-.Nat.

A scientific writer in the Journal de Phar-
macie recommends pulverized plaster of
paris, we'll dried and mixed with rather more
than one fifth its weight of powdered char
coal, as cheap and most effective mixture
for removing the noxious effects of decom-
posing organic matter. The compound
combines with the smmonacal products
which would otherwise escape, and forms q
most valuable manure.

The recent termination of suits brought
against parties in Indiana, Iowa, Sc, for un-
lawfully harboring fugitive slaves, and crea-
ting distractions to their recovery, shows
that the Constitution and Laws have not
lost all vitality, on this head, in the non
slaveholding States. Let this spirit prevail,
aud much Of the ill-feeling that now exists,
will be gradually oblterated. The exam
pie made, will, we trust, also, teach PHI
lanthropic gentlemen in the free States, that
their benevolence in meddling with other
peoples property and rights, is optic be ra-

IHE OBSTACLES TO CHEAP PosTAcE.-
We learn that the Postmaster General and
Let Assistant, Mr.. Hobbie, are decidedly on
posed to a reduction of inland letter post
age to two cents and it is believed that
this is one reason why the House Commit
ttee has not made its report before now
1t will be asked why do they oppose this
measure Have not the people in every
section Of the country called for it? Have
not millions of the most intelligent and en-
terprislng of our citizens asked for two cents
prepaid? But they say this rate will not pay.
Suppose it does not, and for while the
Treasury should be required 10 pay back to
the Post Office part of the large sum that
is due it, who would be injured? The peo-
pie ask for this reduction, and it is the duty
of the Committee and Congress to obey their
wishes and not the dicta,ion of the Post
master General and his Assistant. We know
that from the days Of Charles A. Wickliffe
until now, the whole Post Office Depart
ment, with few honorable exceptions, has
been opposed to the reduction of postage.
Ruin to the Department was predicted by
them, but the will of the people was obeyed
by Congress, and what has been the result?
The highest state of prosperity. The let
tiers have increased in four years from a.
100000 to 62,00O,O0O, and the revenue to
a larger sum than was ever realized in one
year since the Post Office Department was
organized; and after paying all the expenses
leaving seuen hundred thousand dollars sur
plus to the credit of the Post Office This
does not look like ruin. LIE, Congress
comply with the petitions of The people,
and the further usefulness and prosperity of
the Post Office will be increased CHpper.

sent rate of progress of the unfinished work
the whole line will be opened to Dam No
6 by the 18th Of July, at which time the
water will be again let into the lower por-
ton of the canal. Navigation will then be
continuous from Cumberland to Alexandra,

DIssoLvING THE UNIoN.-The London
Examiner takes sensible view of the talk
of dissolving the Union. 1t is all an absur-
dity. Talk of dissoving the Union, while
the people of the different States are making
their in.eres. identical and the same,-while
they ore connecting themselves by railroads
and telegraphs, trade and commerce. while
the glory Of the union incites Cuba and
Canada 10 |'come in," and that in way
which troubles the home governments
while central America is forming alliances
with us, and the whole northern half of the
continent looks like coming under our gov
eminent! II is all nonsense. The progress
of society is not interrupted, fortunately, by
a stagnation in Congress. Society here is
ahead Of legislation. 1t will live, and thrive,
and grow and if Congress stands in its way
it will soon receive an imperative command
from the people to move on. The people
will soon indicate a basis on which to set
tie Our national question, if Cong ess leave
it unsettled much longer. We 60 for the
peoples plan, is to take each ques-
ton, as it comes up, and settle it on a just
basis. The people want to see more voting
and less talking. The time has come when
earnest acting must take the place of speech

Miss DAvENPoRTs FAREWELL BENEFIT.-The
American Theatre will this evening be brilliant
display Of beauty and fashion, as there was a run
for seats even yesterday, and we observed the
names Of many Of the first families of the city on
the box book. This is as it should be; for she is
undoubtedly one Of the first artstes that has ever
appeared here; and to say farewell forever to one
who has won golden opinions from all who have
witnessed her soul-stirring performances will cre-
ate considerable excitement Although it is said
she will return TO Europe in June, yet it is to be
hoped that from the success which has followed her
in the principal cities of the Union, she may be in
duced to remain another year. Now that she is
known in New Orleans, if she should return next
season, we can with safety promise her one Of the
greatest engagements that she has yet acted. We
cannot omit referring to her splendid performance

THE GREAT Cow CAsE.-The case Of James

exemplifcation Of the results OF appealing to the
law. In this case the plaintiff alleged that the
defendant, to whom he entrusted cow worth 800
or more, had, by negligence, improper food, or
some other cause, allowed her to die. OF course,
in such case, all the COW knowledge of the Com
monwealth was in requis ton, and the matter was
so mystified that two or three jures were totally
unable to agree upon a verdict. At last jury had
been found who after considering and sleeping on
plaintiff ono dolLar damages each party paying his
own costs, which, it is said, will amount to Sl00C
or more.-BoSton TfGuelyer.

the immediate action of the Senate on the bill.
Mr.. Clay agreed with the Senator that this bill
should be acted on at once. He, some time ago,
embarked on board steamer called the Old Hick.
DRY, and, in going from louisville to Natchez, the
steamer stuck fast at the point proposed TO amend
by this bill. The Consequence was that they were
four weeks in completing the trip which, under or
binary circumstance, should have taken but four
days InIhe course Of conversational debate on the
bill, Mr.. King. Of Alabama, remarked. He had
experienced some Of the difficulties stated by the
Senator from Kentucky. Hehad, on one occasion,
when on board steamer called the Henry Clay,
been detained several days in consequence of the
steamer having stuck fast on this very dam
