MisassiPPi--A tremendous rally for the Union
was held at Natchez, Mississippi the 23d inst.
The Courier says il was generally conceded TO have
been the largest and most enthusiastic political
gathering ever assembled in Natchez and what
rendered il the more peculiar the cordial inter
mingling Of Whigs and Democrats Demo-
cratic chairman presided, while the voices Of
Wings united with those Of political opponents in
sustaining the great object Of the meeting in con.
demning the ultraism Of the men whose efforts
we're bent on revolution, and in expressing graft
tude to those who had nobly in Congress stood
firm, and advocated measures Of Cancellation. IL
was in every sense proud day for Adams county.
There can be no mistake about such an expression
Of public sentiment was manifested upon this oc
casion

Rock Island and La Sale Railroad. Illinois

We have just received the report ofthe engineers
who have completed the survey of the above road,
and are glad TO find that it is IA yorabc for the
enterprise. We have always looked with interest
TO this route part Of the great connecting link
between the Atlantic and Pacific. We alluded
with pleasure, few weeks since, to the efforts
making to extend this road westward from Daven-
port to Council BlufTs, Missouri river. The
work on the La Sale road ia to be pushed forward
Immediately; and VIC confidently predict that the

Hos. WILLIAM DUER AND HIs CoSsriruESTs.-
We are pleased that the patriotic course Of THE
able Wing representative is promptly and unan-
mously sustained by his constituents. IL has been
given out In certain quarters that he declined
nomination because his action on the "Peaco Mica.
sures' was In Opposition TO the sentiments Of his
district. This was known not 10 be the case, az he
had, long before those votes were given, announced
HE determination to retire at the close Of hs pre-
sent term But 90 far from his constituents not
approving his course, the contrary is the fact The
following proceedings were had in the Whig con.
vention Of the First Assembly District Of OsweQo
county, in addition 20 the appointment Of Mr. d.
as their delegate TO the State convention The fol
lowing resolution, moved by the Hon. Thomas II.
Bond, and seconded by Gilbert M0llison, eco, was
received with acclamatiOn and unanimously adopt
ed by the convention
"Rssoirsd, That the eminent ability, sound iudg
mont, conciliatory and comprehensive We've, which
our able and distinguished Representative, the
Hon. William Duer, has displayed upon all the
exciting and important questions which have come
before Congress the present session for dclberation
and adjustment, IL worthy Of all praise, and IL de-
serving Of our wsrinest commentator. Indeed,
his whole course in the judgment Of this convcn.
ton, since he has been member OF our National
Legislature, has been wise, consistent, enlightened
liberal and patriotic, and has ovinocd desire not
simply to promote the welfare and beat interests Of
he fellow citizens at home but also patriotic re-
gard for the peace harmony, and perpetuity OF our
glorious Union We regret that he is so soon TO
vacatc station 10 which for two successive terms
he has been elected, and which he has 80 iniiuen-
TALLY, faithfully and honorably flled-and we
herewith most cheerfuly, cordially and honestly
tender 10 him united assurance that he will

Bounty Land Bill.


The passage of the bill granting bounty land TO
officers and soldiers Of the last war with Great
Britain, and the several Indian wars, is giving
rise to an unprecedented number of applications to
the Third Auditors Office for information. Ii is
deemed advisable to state that copies Of the rolls gf
the Of 1914 cannot be furnished, for various
reasons; one of which is sufiicient- namely, the
utter impracticability of doing so.
II one agent has right to copies of the rolls, so
have twenty thousand; and all the clerks in the
employ of the Government could not furnish such
copies. Besides there is no authority for doing
80
All applications must come through the Pension
Office (under the direction of the Secretary of the
Interior) according to published instructions;
and regular certificates Of service will then be
furnished to the Commissioner of Pensions by the
Third Auditor, as is now the practice in regard to
all claims for pension or bounty land, in iohich The
officers or soldiers terped in The toar Of 1912.
This course is necessary TO prevent frauds and
interminable difficulties.
