Advancement with Steamboats,.
Capt. W. A. W. Calf. Of the steamer Ad Hins,
has made arrangements with this Department to
convey all sick wounded or disabled, furloughed
and discharged soldiers at one half fare.
When it ID considered that the fare includes sub
sistence, this Is . very generous arrangement.
It 10 hoped this Department will soon be able
TO report further arrangements with other Steam
boat lines for the conveyance Of soldiers 1t re-
duced rates.
In order to prevent imposition on officers Of
Steamboats,, who may b disposed to make - lib
sral arrangements - that above named, and in
order that soldiers may receive the benefits Of the
same, officers ars requsstsd, in granting furlougha
or discharges, 70 note the cause Of the furoagh o.
discharge ct the bottom thereof, and sign the
same, q these arrangements are made for the ben
eft of the soldiers. The State has no pscuoiary
interest in the matter. The soldiers Of the classes
referred TO, pay their own fare.
Soldiers shoald present their furlougbs Or dis
charges for exannatioa q the Offices Of Clerks Of
