Sra: | have seen in some of the city papers hat
| esteem erroneous statement regards the
pay of the officers and soldiers Of the volunteers
As these volunteers are to be mustered into the
service Of the United States, and become for the
time being a part of the regular army, it is fair
to assume that their pay in one case will be the
same in the Other-or, in other words, that the
volunteer soldier while in The service Of the gov
ernment, will be entitled to the pay, and no
more, as the soldier of the regular army.
Now, let Us what the paw is of such officer
and soldier. What here state in reference to that
matter is FACT, and cannot be contradicted. In
stating the pav, subsistence forage, &c. Of the Off
Ger, nv facts are based upon time of war, which
differs in some respects from what he is nov eni-
tied to in time ofpeace.
