BOUNTY LANDs-7He Substitute, ana
not his Employer, Entitled 10 Boumty.-
The following, from the Terra Haute
Qnd.) Express, is of SO direct and pre-
else character, as to definitely settle a
mooted point:
Bounty Lands.-On the 4th inst. we
published letter from the late Commits
sioner of Pensions, J. l.. Edwards, Esq,
TO X. F. Trowbridge, of Missouri, which
stated that "those who hired substitutes
in the war of 1912 are entitled to the
bounty land, and not the substitute"
Since which we called the attention of
the honorable Secretary of the Interior
to the letter of the Commissioner, and
we have the following reply, from which
it will be seen that the substitute is the
person entitled to the land, and not the
man who procured the substitute:
Department Of the Interior, }
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1850.
Sir: In answer to the inquiry con-
tanned in your paper of the 4th instant,
you are informed that the Pension OF.
flee is subordinate to this Department;
that an appeal lies from that office to the
Secretary, and that the Commissioner is
bound in his action to conform to the
decisions of his superior olicer.-Any
decision, therefore, of the Commissioner
of Pensions, not in conformity to the ac-
t'on or direction of the Secretary of the
Interior, is unauthorized, and, upon an
appeal, will be corrected.
The Secretary having decided that the
Substitute, and not his employer" is
entitled to bounty land, under the act of
September %, 1880, the statement of
the late Commissioner of Pensions, to
which you peter, is erroneous.
l am, very respectfully your obedient
servant,
D. c. GODDARD, Chief Clerk.

Mr.. CLAY on THE AUSTRIAN CORES
roNDENcE.--In the debate which took
place in the Senate, in relation to the
printing of the correspondence between
the Austrian Charge d'Afaires and the
Secretary of State, MIR. Clay, we OBJ
serve, whilst concrlrring with and APP
proving of the general tone of the letter
of MIR. Webster, took occasion to ex-
press the opinion that one argument ad-
vanced should be received with limita-
ton and doubt. II is true, he said,
'that in some sense a communication
between the President of the United
States and Congress, or either branch of
it, is a domestic document, but the mo-
ment it is published, it is transported to
every quarter of the globe, and | think
if we look into the history of our diplo-
macy, we shall find unquestionable pre-
cedents where foreign Governments
have been called to account for acts
which were somewhat if not wholly of
domestic character" However, with
this limitation, Mr.. Clay said, "every
sentiment contained in Mr.. Webster
letter is felt and cherished by every
American heart."

THE ADJOURNED CouRT.-Contrary to
our expectation when we issued our last
paper, Cecil county Court did not sit on
Tuesday last, to which day it adjourned
in October. The cause was the illness
Of Judge Hopper. Judge Chambers be-
ing necessarily absent at the Convention,
Judge Eccleston would not hold the
Court alone. No official notice of the
postponcment reached here until the
Eastern Shore mail of Sunday. We
presume all parties are satisfied with this
postponement, and that unnecessary ex-
ira expense may be avoided, it is to be
hoped the Court will not sit until the reg
ular April Term.

New Posi- RoUTEs.-We see by the
Act to establish certain post roads, pas
sed by Congress in September last, and
lately published, that new route is es-
tabllshed "From Baltimore by way of
Ford's Landing, and Cecilton, and on
to Warwick, Cecil county," and "From
Elkton by way of Fair Hill, and Lew
isville, to Kimbleville and New Lon
don, Pa" We suppose the mail will
not start on these routes until the COM
ing summer-but do not know.

N1cARAGuA.-7he British and the
United &ates-A telegraphic dispatch
from the special correspondent in Wash
ington of the North American, states
that official intelligence has been receiv-
ed of the British government having or.
dered its agents at San Juan (Greytown)
to suspend the collection of duties at that
place; the belief being that this is an evi.
dence of the intention of Her Majesty's
ministers to comply, in good faith, with
the obligations of the Clayton treaty.
The dispatch adds that is very probable
that San Juan will be restored to Mica,
ragua in good time.

Gov. LOVES INAUGuRAL.-This
Estate" paper is of the order sometimes
denominated hlfa1utin." AS to style
it would do tolerable we'll for stump
speech during political campaign. We
copy from it, on the first page, some re.
marks relative to the "Union," which is
the best part Of the address indeed the
only part Of any worth.
BY the way, we would like TO know,
what right the Convention had to 90 to
the expense of having 5000 copies OF
the Address printed. Where do they
get the authority to expend money in
any such manner! We may be wrong,
but it does seem to us that such voting
away of the public money, is little be-
yond the strict line of the business it was
elected to perform.

A MARYLANDER INDIcTED.-We see
that true bill has deem found by a
Grand Jury in Philadelphia, against
James q. (SO Mitchell of this county,
as also against Messrs. Price and Albert
of that city, for kidnapping free negro
boy, Joel Thompson. This boy was
the son ola woman, the slave of Mr..
Mitchell, who ran away some years
ago, and was arrested, together with the
boy, during the last summer, and brought
to Elkton and delivered to Mr.. NJ, who
did not so out Of the State to take part
in the arrest. We rather suppose, a
writ against Mr.. Mitchell will be re-
turned non est comatiJus. Even had
he assisted in the arrest, our laws would
most likely protect him in retaining
both the woman and her son.

ATIVE PILLS, they have succeeded in
curing some Of the worst cases, OF disease
ever recorded, and are daily accomplishin

in vain 10 obtain relief from any other
source. One of The Proprietors is a regular
physician of extensive experience, who de-
votes his time exclusively 10 their prcpera-
ton. For FEVER & AGUE, they have new.
er yet failed. AT least one thousand cases
in the neighborhood Of Philadelphia, have
been cured since the first Of Sept, last. In
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Liver Complaint,
S%crofuIa, for Worms, and all other diseases
of children, they,are u~nequalled by anything
ever prepared for the purpose, while for the
various diseases OF Females there is no me-
dicine can compare with them. There is
more of them sold-they are in greater de-
mand than any other pill-and when once
introduced in a family, they need no other
medicine. Each box containing Fifty Pills,
renders them the cheapest, while they are
decidedly the best, as well as the mildest IN
action, of any now in the market.
The Editor of the "City Nem," thus
speaks of them:
" READER, you are suffering from fever
and ague, and you have never tried Wors-
deWs Vegetable Restorative Pills. Shake no
more. There is still hope for you-you may

are a sovereign antidole for this distressing
complaint.

says:
WoRspELL's PnLs.-This excellent family
medicine is daily winning new tiumphs
over disease, and consequently in the high
road to public favor. In the removal of the
every day ills that flesh is heir TO, we know
of no better compound. We heard the 9TH
er day of a desperate case of scrofulous g.
ruptions of the head and face being enirely
cured by them.
Du Sole of the Times" says:
~ The great popularity Of Worsdell's
Vegetable Pills, is attributed to the just ner-
it which they really possess. They have
been quietly gaining the fame they now
have. by the force of their own virtues.
The means usually employed to give eclat
to new remedies have not been adopted by
the proprietors. They have been content to
let their medicine speak fol- itself. 1t is now
doing it in every section of the country.
They are for sale by most of the Store
