The Muster Rolls.

The following extract from letter Of the
Adjutant General to a member of Congress will
give information as TO the rule adopted in refer
ence to copies or inspection Of the muster rolls
"If it be necessary TO give any information re-
specting the time, &c. of the mastering into ser
vice the regiments and companies of the =
volunteers with view 10 obtaining the land bounty,
it is equally necessary in the of all the volun
teers enrolled and received into service from the
other States; but to do this would be almost i'm
possible In the Black Hawk war, QS32,) and the
Seminole Florida war, OS36 to 1922 there were
not less than 81 1854 militia and volunteers enrolled;
and during the Creek disturbances, and on the
Southern frontiers, in the years 1896 and 1887,
nearly 10000 militia mustered into the ser
vice of the United States. If we go back to the war
with Great Britain, we find that Al 900 militia
were called out. Ii will be seen, therefore, that to
begin with answering such calls Tor information as
you have made in the matter Of claims to land
bounty, may end in examining and reciting music,
rolls so complicated and numerous as to embrace
| no less than 53l 1923 names.
st has always been assumed by the Government
that persons having claims upon it know what they
are entitled to- The only proper way, therefore
is for the applicants to apply to the COMMISSIONS
for their land (under the regulations that no doub
VIII be duly published and whenever ne may wan
any information from the records of the War De
partment 50 establish the claim, he, matter o
course, applies for and officially obtains whatever
can be procured And this is the course, am in
structed by the Secretary of War to say, which
| must be continued to be observed. And may ado
that with tie clerical force of this office, it woulC
be almost impossible, if it proper, to answer
the calls OF the description in question, withou
| lu tipor tbe of
| branch of the War Department"
1t will be seen from the foregoing that copies
| of the rolls are not to be furnished The Sin
structions and forms' necessary TO be observed
have been forwarded in every direction through
| out the country, and we understand that Off
cial certificates from the rolls are daily fur
nished to the Commissioner of Pensions, from
the rolls in possession Of the different Offices il

THE REPUBLIC.
MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 81, 1850,
The Democratic journals are unanimous in
WASHINGTON:

The Democratic journals are unanimous in
condemninq the Wings Of New York, for not di-
yidinr on their candidates for gubernatorial and
other offices. They are not at all pleased with
the result Of the Utica convention. So univer-
sal is their discomfort, that it leaves us no rea-
son to doubt that our friends have acted wisely
and periodically, and in the manner best calcu-
lated to advance and strengthen the Wing
cause. As il is with no view of pleasing the
Democrats that they have made their nomina-
tons. they will not complain If the Democrats
should continue 10 be dissatisfied.
We have placed in another column the pro-
ceedings of the Utica convention, imperlectly
reported by telegraph. From this report, how
ever, we can gather enough to know that FRAN-
CTS GRANGER and WILLIAM DUER, in whose
patriotism and nationality the WINGS of the
whole country confide, are satisfied that they
can support WAsHINGToN Hunt and his asso-
ciates on the WING ticket without comproms-
ING the position which they have assumed as
national Wings Mr.. HuNT's letter has been
the subject of much Democratic criticism
criticism which comes with very i'll grace from
the men who stand upon the same platform
with the PREsToN Kings and VAN BURENs.
In declaring his intention of maintaining
himself side by side with the eminent Southern
WINGS whom he has named-Mr. Hunt has
distinctly avowed that he has no disposition to
tolerate political agitation upon the slavery
question, or TO trifle with any OF the comPro-
misses of the Constitution. We cannot expect
Northern men and Southern men to agree alto
gether upon the controverted questions arising
out Of slavery. They look at the subject from
two entirely different points of view; and they
mus, continue to differ upon it as their fathers
have filtered before them, in the spirit of pa
triotism. and in spirit OF subordlnatlon to the
Constitution and [ nion OF the States
We regret to see that Mr.. DUER and Mr..
GRANGER have been made the subjects Of vio-
lent and malignant censure. by WING journals
that started with the declaration that they
should under no circumstances, impeach their
..motlves' in the late secession. As mem
Der Of General HARRIsOY's Cabinet, MIR. GRAN
GER made a most favorable impression upon
the Wing mind Of the country, and is every
where gratefully remembered among his po-
iircal friends Tor the frmness and Vlgor with
which he discharged his political duties. With
regard to Mr.. DUER, it is no Disagreement to
any one to say that New York has never had a
VINO representative in either House who has
stood higher in the estimation of Congress, for
manliness, independence, sound sense, and stir
ring, vigorous oratory. No local combinations,
no personal jealousies, no hostile journalism, can
disturb the reputation which these gentlemen
deseryedly enjoy with the Wines of the Union

FUGrTIvE SLAVE CASE IN PHILADELPHIA.-The
arrest Of an alleged fugitive slave in Philadelphia
on the 18th instant created great excitement on
that and the following day, among the colored
population. Judge Grier declared his determine
ton TO support tho laws, even 10 the shedding OF
blood, should an attempt be made TO violate them;
bot in order to enable the prisoner to employ coun-
sci, he postponed the case until the next morning
The fugitive on Friday morning was again brought
into court. After the hearing of testimony and the
discussion Of certain points of law the Judge said
that az the claimant had failed to make out his case
the prisoner had right TO his discharge, and
should be accordingly discharged.
The prisoner was received outside Of the building
by his colorcd frends, who were most extravagant
in their shouts Of emulation. They bore him away
IN their arms, shouting at the top of their voices

question, has taken up his residence in Iowa,
