THE BOUNTY LAND ACT

From letter which we have re-
received from North Caroline, we
a c induced to believe that some
mistake has been made by some of
the people in regard to the act of
Congress lately passed. An impress
sion seems TO have gone forth thatit
is pension act, under which many
of our countrymen arc entitled to
pensions. This is a mistake. They
haTs mistaken The bounty land act
for a pension act. Believing. how
ever, that the process by which the
bounty may be obtained should be
made known, for the information of
applicants, we have applied to the
Commissioners Extensions for infor-
nation, and he has been kind enoueh !
to place in our hands a small pamph-
let containing the necessary materi-
ais: We lay it with great pleasure
before the public.
