Gentlemen-I am honored by the receipt of
|
me sword as an evidence Of your appreciation
of my services as an officer of the United States,
| in several wars with the Indians and with the
Republic of Mexico. la
! The appropriation of his countrymen, is Justly
esteeWed the highest reward which public SER
| want can receive for his services, and such re-
ward is richly enhanced when bestowed, nbid-
den, by that portion of my fellow-citizens, who
have known him longer and best, and whose
names are associated with his earliest and han
| piest recolections. 1t is with unfeigned a
deep emotion, that | recognize among the do
nors of this token OF yolrregard and approba-
ton, the nalncs of playrnates OF my childhood
schoolmates, Of my boyhood, of those who
cherished and directed with their christian wis
dom the vague aspiration of my youth, and Of
those who encouraged me to advance, wheu pau
sing on the slippery Threshold Of active life
host of friends whose good opinion alone, is
reward far above my humble merits, and to re-
tain whose esteem, will be the highest Incentive
| to the continued discharge Of the arduous dute'
Of my profession. o0a e ,9lhn2S' "sA ~ id9
BE assured then, gentlemen, that the SWORD
you have presented me, is received and valued
above price, as token of your approval of my
past career. Ii shall be kept, unsullied, through

BorsTY LAND BlL1.-Tbe passage of the bill
granting bounty land TO officers and soldiers of
the hist war with Great Britain, aud the several
Indian wars, is giving rise to an unprecedented
number Of applicants to the Third Auditors
Office for information. aaieaanv5 s4fds sdt.
1t is deemed advisable to state that copies Of
The army rolls cannot be furnished from this
Office, for various reasons; one of whirh is suf-
ficient, namely, the utter impracticabilitY of
doing so.
II one agent has right to copies Of the rolls,
SO would twenty thousand and all the clerks
| in the employ, OF the Government could not
furnish such copies. Besides, there is no autho-
rity for doing so. All applications must pass
through the Pension Office, (under the direction
Of the Secretary Of the Interior,) and regular
certificates of service will be furnished to the
Commissioner of Pensions, by the Third Audi
tor, is the practice in regard to all claims
I for pensions or bounty land.
This course is necessary to prevent frauds
and interlinabIe difficulties ',
