give an extra bounty of tloentyjive DOL

son county company, the money to be
raised by levy npon the incorporated
towns Of the county, made by the coun-
ellis Of such towns, and upon the taxa.
BILE persons and property of the county,
made by the county Court. This is Q
most commendable move, and we hope
10 see i, carried out to the very letter, as
it will compel certain Closs Of rebel
sympalhisers in the county to contribute
a just and equitable proportion Of their
means towards the support Of the men
who volunteer 10 protect them. We are
informed that it is also tho determination
Of the Committee, to make such arrange.
ments that each volunteer having a fam.

be provided for, by having en- amount of
money appropriated and paid monthly,
according to the circumstances and
