Nauonal Administration, 1t will be remem-
bsred. Dickinson (who was, within our own
knowledge, secretly negotiating for the vote of
Virginia for himself. in the Baltimore Ma
tional Democratic Convention, while an ava
lanche of ooquets wore being showered upon
him from the galleries, in compliment of his
sacrifice in immolating himself for Cass,) pro-
claimed that all who desired to " rebuke this
damnable' National Administration should
vote for Bronson. Sohell, zoo, as well as Dill

Our personal friend, John Wheeler, has far
more brains than Bronson. He essayed the
''rebuking" game in the consideration of the
Nebraska bill, and wisely concluded no long

if they could, standing square upon every
platform erected by each one of the many op-
position parties. His district was anti-Demo-
cratic by large majority, and he was origi-

His election is, therefore, a rebuke to Bronson,

However, the result in the New York cleo

Pay to Discharged soldiers-It has been
decided at the Treasury Depar .ment, that the
regulations of The War Department require
the commanding officer of the company to
furnish discharged soldier with q duplicate
certificate Of his enlistment, So vice, and the
pay due him at the time of his discharge, and
there will be retained by tho Paymaster who
pays tho soldier, one to be forwarded with his
accounts If payment is claimed at tho
Treasury, the soldier must produce these cor
tihcates, with his discharge, to the accounting
officers, in order to make sure that he has not
already been paid by paymaster; or the
claim will be rejected.
