gratitude and honor now garlanding the brows
OF our brethren IN arms.
z He desires from Massachusetts ten to fif-

Inc department of war has issued the follow

and every soldier who hereafter enlists either
IN the regular army or the volunteers for

wedby law, such payment to be made upon

/. Thus it will be seen, as the result of re-
cent efforts, that each new recruit will re-
eeive
ONE MONTHS PAY IN ADVANCE,
/, if he joins a regiment already in the
tield,-to be paid to him Immediately upon his
muster individually in the service.
2, if he joins a new regiment being raised

field-to be paid to him Immediately upon his
muster individually into the service.
=, if he joins a new regiment being raised
at home-to be paid to him Immediately upon
the muster of such regimentinto the service.
No doubt is entertained that this last pro-
vision will be so modified as to permit the
payment Of this bounty to recruits joining new
regiments, Immediately upon the muster into
service of their respective companies, thereby
making the provisions for the months advance
pay and the payment of the bountyi in advance
exactly correspond.
