Pay of Volunteers.

So many erroneous statements have been
published as to the pay of volunteers that the
Hon Schuyler Cofax, editor of the st. Joseph
Register has thought it would not be ianppro.
pirate to state what are the actual facts. The
matter is one Of so much interest to many, that
we cory them
Both Houses of Congress agreed on in,
creasing the pay four dollars per mouth ;
but, disagreeing on the other details Of the
bill, it was laid on the table in the Senate
And on the last day of the session, within
an hour of the adjournment, the House
tOok up and passed bill increasing the pay
ItoO dollars per month, and confirming and
legalizing the Proclamation of the Presi-
dent calling ont the volunteers for 3 years
or The war > aud this bill, embracing these
two points, was immediately signed by the
President and is now a law. But for its
passage, there would have been no increase
in the pay.
This raises the pay of Volunteers and
Regulars from $ll up to $l3 per month.
There is in addition an allowance for cloth.
ing of $3,6 60 per month, or $42 per year,
which, if not expended, is paid in cash to
the soldier. And at the end of the War,
500 bounty in cash No bounty land law
has yet passed. but it is quite certain that
one will be passed for the soldiers for the
War, securing for each one home.
No law passed, giving bounty of $50
to the three months soldiers who re.enlist
for the war. At one time, it was favorable
voted on in the House, but was not concur.
ed in by the Senate and joint Committee of
Conference, which settled the disagreeing
votes of the two Houses, dropped it, on The
ground that they could make an inVidious
distinction in the enlstments for the Regi
ments for the War
Another law passed, requiring all enlist
mCnts for the Regular Army, from July lSt,
1861, to December 3lst, 1862, to be for
years instead Of FIVE, aud Regulars to re-
eelVe the same pay and bounty as Eolun-
leers' After January lst, 1868, enlist
menls of Regulars are to be for 5 years as
heretofore.
