SOLDIERS BoUNTrEs-SHABp Practices OF THE
WAR DEPARTMENr.-We have received a num-
Der OF communications as well as personal visits
from discharged volunteers; enrolled under the
two years call, complaining of not being able
to get their bounties from the War Department.
II appears that these men were all mustered
out at periods varying from one to five weeks
previous to the expiration Of their term Of SER
vice. On forwarding their papers to Washing
ton to obtain payment of the bounties pro-
missed. them, the following curt reply was re-
ceived:-"No bounty due, by decision Of the
Secretary OF War. Paymaster Generals Office
August 10, 1863" Now, II cannot be con-
tended that these volunteers are not morally
entitled to the bounties claimed by them.
They enlisted on the condition OF re-
ceiving them, were willing to remain the
week or two longer necessary to complete their
legal term OF service, and were mustered out
before its expiration merely TO suit the con-
venience Of the Department. The turning this
sharp corner apon thom looks as II they werc
discharged in advance Of their time merely to

their bounties would amount in the aggre
gate. There is mo other military service In
the world, we will venture to say, In which
such shabby trick would be ventured upon.
II the Department persists in refusing to pay
these bounties, under the pretence that the law
is against them, we trust that Congress on its
reassembling will take steps to do away with
the technical difficulty, by amending the act
under which they were granted A great gov
ernment like this should not shelter itself be-
hind legal bubble from doing justice to those
who have fought and bled in its service.

COMMON SENSE AT THE HEAD OF THE ARMY
When General Hooker was in command Of the
Army Of the Potomac the greater part of his
time was spent in the regulation Of newsboys
and in the endeavor to give forced circulation
to few pet political and sporting journals. 1t
was not surprising that general thus occu-
pied should not only fail in his object but also in
the duties which he was supposed to know some
thing about American soldiers, though they
understand the necessity OF discipline, cannot
be got to comprehend the necessity of On inter-
ference with their choice Of reading. General
Meade, while be knows how to insist upon the
one, shows that he respects the soldiers rights
in the other, by directing that they shall be
allowed to receive any journal for which they
may entertain preference. This course offers
marked contrast to that Of his predecessor
and proves the correctness of the saying that
q good general is always attentive 10 the CON-

Tho Rev Mr. Parker pastor Of the South Congregational

before having occupied Mr. Pafkers pulpit In

walked gravey up the centre aisle and TOOK hs scat ~

asked ore OF the deacons who he was. Nobody knew.
SO Mr. Cushman ascending the steps, took his seat along

PRINCE NAPOLEON CONDEMNTN0 THE EN-
PERoR's MEXICAN PoLrcY.--We publish to-day
the translation Of very remarkable article
which appeared in the Opinion Rationale of
Paris-the organ of Prince Napoleon-and
which Is understood to put forward his views.
Indeed, the article bears evidence Of its having
emanated from that high source. II is a fear
less, just and outspoken condemnation Of the
whole policy of Louis Napoleon in regard to
Mexico 1t exposes the fallacy of the pretence
that the expedition has been in the interest of
progress, showing that if Marshal Forey should
continue to speak Of such thing as freedom Of
religious worship the church party of Mexico,
which now acclaims him, would turn against
him, and treat the French army at Mexico as
Antonelli treated the French army at Rome.
The worst feature Of the expedition is, ac-
cording to this article of Prince Napolecn's,
that it cannot fail to embroil France in war
with America. In either contngency-of the
defeat or the success of the rebellion
that result is equally certain to follow.
If the Southern confederacy were to be es-
tablished, its first aim would be to extend
slavery by making a conquest Of MEXICO; and
if the Union were to be restored the Monroe
doctrine would not permit the establishment of
an empire in North America. Public opinion
in France cannot conceive what induces the
Emperor to wish for the success of the Southern
coniederacy, because his Mexican colony could
have no more dangerous neighsors. The ques-
tion of cotton Is declared TO be no excuse: for
that interests England more than it does
France; and yet it is England that has stopped
the ardor Of the French government in that
direction.
The certainty Of the French Mexican policy
producing war with America is insisted upon
with great force and clearness, and the En-
peror is adjured to avoid that danger by re-
calling his troops to Europe, where they will
be at no loss for employment, and carrying the
expenses of the expedition to the account Of
profit and loss. No sounder advice could be
given, and we may hope that Louis Napoleon
will not be slow to recognize and adopt it.
Perhaps the idea Of the article is to prepare the
French mind for that change Of policy. The
Emperor has curious modes of doing business,
and this may be one of them.
