they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 28th Of September, 1850, that they informed

more to them than the patented lands would be.

land thus granted that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law.
by preventing the sale of the Warrants, assumes
thai the officers and volunteers entitled to BOUNTY
lands, are not competent to act for. themselves,
whereas many Of them among the most intel

therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

money of a Democrat our paper oil
laU Saturday we copied from Mich
gan paper an article which gave the
particulars Of little incident that oc,
CURED during the Florida war. Tho
substance Of the article was, that at
night, after a weary march, a party was
detailed 10 erect a shelter for tho com
mander in-chci, who had not yet reach-
ed the ground, Shortly after the work
commenced, Gen. Scott came up and
inquired oi the working party what they
were doing.-Hc was informed, when
he immediately replied:a Well, cease
work, and return to your company. I
can participate in the privation Of my
men will not have a weary soldier
TO perform momcnl's unnecessary
labor for my convenience" And on
the sod Of tho evergladc, under the open
sky, the gallcnt old chief slept with his
faithful soldiers.
This article happened 70 meet fa
eye Of a gentleman now living in Gov
ington, who served under Gen Scott in
Florida, and Who has up to this time
acted with the Democratic party. This
gentleman called at our Office on Tues-
day las to say that he was one Of the
men detailed ta erect the shelter for
Gen. Scott and that he knows the
statement that Gen, Scott requested tho
men to desisi from the work to be frxe.
Our informant says that Gen. Scott
was a s'r'c, diseipiaaFian, but that ns
general thing, the discipline was eniose-
ed rather against the oi6cera than the
priva,ss and that Scott was upi,ormly
kind and attentive to the wants ol bis
soldiers.
Our informant further said that had
Cass becu nominated he would have
supported him, but tina, between Gen,
Scott and Gen. Pierce lie must vote fot
his old Florida commander. - tscingfo',.
