DISTRICT VoLuNTEkRs.-It appears to be a
question ~ to who are TO be considered District
".
are two or three compa nies whose families reside
In New Jersey and In Pennsylvania. On the
other hand, the District has furnished companies
and smaller numbers Of men to the California
Regiment, Averill's Cavalry, and divers regi-
ments from Maine, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
and other States. 1t Is obvious that some deci-
sion In necessary al 10 who are TO be consl dered
properly The !" District Of Columst. volunteer"
aud aid extended TO families Are the Jersey
and Pennsylvania soldiers above referred to- to be
considered District (" volunteers, because they
are In q District Regiment" The families Of
these men reside at their homes Ia New Jersey,
and Gov Olden In late letter to Lieut.. Colonel
Zulick, says that the Supreme Court Of New Ier
sey has decided that only those volunteers enlist
Ing In regiments formed by authority Of the Gov
ernor, are entitled to bounty and aid. Pennsyl-
vania, we believe, tnkes the same view. But
both these States again only aid "rsstdentn
families OF volunteers, and therefore the volun-
teers In their regiments, whose families reside
here are without aid unless the District insists
them. This IL a matter for the careful consdera-
ton OF the War Committee, and II should be at
once decided and made kncwn-who are 10 be
benefited by the bounty act, AMI whether, as in
other sections, 1t shall apply only to L" resident
families, J" or whether Families alien TO the Dis
trict, but whose husbands or fathers are In what
are called District regiments, to be supported
also. and all thus be recognized as District voiun>
