Bounty to Wounded Soldiers.

It has been decided that soldiers dis
charged from the army within two years
from the date of their enlistment, by rea-
son of wounds received in battle, shall
be entitled to receive the same bounty as
granted to those discharged after two
years service.
Medical officers, in discharging soldiers
under these circumstances, have been di-
rocted to endorse over their own sigma
ture, on the discharge papers, the fact
that the disability results from wounds
received in battle Before discharging,
the surgeon must state that the person
discharged is not able to enter the In
valid Corps.
BOUNTY FOR ENLIsTrNG VETERANS.
The General Orders from the War De-
partment, just published, by which a
bounty of S4OO is offered to every man
who enlists in the regular army, and to
every re-enlisting veteran volunteer who
has served in two-years' or six-montbs'
regiment, indicate very clearly that the
War Department has determined that the
true construction of the $500 clause of
the National Enrolment law is that it is
imperative upon the Secretary, who must
appoint persons to receive the $500 from
every drafted man who chooses to pay
that sum in lieu of service in person or
by substitute. Its payment, however,
does not relieve the liability to be draft
ed under a future call, while service, per-
sOnal or by substitute, cxempts during
the term Of enlistment. It is in this
clause, so construed alone, that the au-
thority to offer the additional bounty can
be found, the $500 raised under it being
devoted by the terms of the law to the
procuration of substitutes.
IMPORTANT LAND OFFICE DECISION.
An application has been made to the
General Land Office, in which the fol-
lowing facts appear:
A mother, in the absence of her son,
files pre-emption declaratOry statement
in the name of the absentee, causing i'm
provements to be made by hired man.
The mother claims that another settler
has laid claim to a part of the land, and
asks the Department to protect the claim
of the absentee.
The General Land Office has ruled
against the claim of the absentee, and
declared the following points;
l. That no pre-emption claim can be
transmitted into a donation, unless the
pre-emption claimant has fled his dec
ratOry statement prior 20 the passage of
the Homestead act of May 80, 1862.
2. That neither the Pre- -omption nor
the Homestead law authorizes settlement
of land by proxy, but that the owner of
claim, in order to be protected by the
Land office, must perform personal acts
by way Of cultivating the claim.
Soldiers, heretofore, have been allow
cd to settle land claims by proxy, but
this decision hereafter forbids such an
arrangement.

General Buell's Policy with the Southern
People,
From General Buell's Defense.


THE policy which I observed toward
the people of the territory occupied by
my army has been vehem6ntly and bitter
! ly assailed by portion of the press; but
I believe that reason and justice will
sustain it on every score, whether of ex-
pediency Or humanity. In entering on
my command, it was with an earnest viii
lingness to devote my life to the object of
restoring the Union, and never doubt
ed as to the course my duty required me
to pursue 1t was to defeat the rebels in
arms whenever 1 could and to respect
the Constitution and laws, and the rights
of the people under them, as far as was
possible, consistently with a state of
things which rendered military success
matter of primary Importance for the
restoration of the authority Of the Gov
ernment. This has been my rule of ac
ton from first to last. I did not under
take to punish men for opinions sake,
or even for past acts; for Congress had
prescribed the penalty for their ofFenses,
and the mode of proceeding against them.
Men in arms I treated as enemies; per-
sons not in arms l treated as citizens Of
the United States; but allowed no man
to preach or act treason after the prog
.ress of my army had brought him again
under the protection, as well as the au-
thOrity, of the Government.
I have, when necessary, given protec-
tion to the persons and property of peace
able citizens; and this I have done, both
to preserve the discipline of my troops,
and out of respeat for the just rights Of
the people under the laws Of war, if not
under the civil law. When the public
interest has required the use of private
property for public purposes, I hGve so
used it, allowing just compensation for it
as far as practicable; and this I did, not
only on the ground of justice, but as a
measure of military evpcdieney; for it
enabled me to secure for my army neces-
saries which otherwise would have been
concealed Or destroyed

Remarks on the Ohang8 of Commanders.
TIE New York Tribune says:

TIE New York Tribune says:
General Hooker is relieved of the COM
mand Of the Army Of the Potomac, and
MajOr-General George G. Meade, lately
commander of the 9Th Corps, succeeds
him. Though in ordinary circumstances
we should hesitate to approve change
of commanders in the face of an enemy,
and pending an active campaign, We hail.
the present with considerable satisfae
ton. General Hooker has painfully dis
appointed the hopes and expectations not
merely of his friends, but of all those who,
had learned to regard him as at least a.
brave and persistent fighter. Since tie,
battles of Charlottesville he has lost that.
character with all who know the real his.
tory of his needless and disastrous retreat,
across the Rappahannock. Such an. op--
portunity of annihilating the rebel army
can not be expected to present itself
again. Lee was surprised and immense
ly outpumbered. That in such oiroum-
stances he was not, we have ever since
thought sufficient cause for the reno
val of General Hooker, but we fail to, un-
derstand why he was not removed then
instead of now. Additional causes may
be found in the failure to arrest the pres
ent advance of Lee, which ought to have
been prevented, and might have been by
a prompt seizure of the Blue Ridge pas
ses.
Speaking of General Meade, the New
York Herald says;
His merits are approved by the officers
of the Army of the Potomac, and We are
assured that this appointment as their
! Commander-in-chief on the field will be
hailed with unqualified satisfaction by
the soldiers Of every State, and Of every
regiment in the army. As we under
stand this appointment, in another sense,
it is a compromise which will be salts
factory not only to the old soldiers of
Mcclellan, but to his friends outside of
the army; for, according to our informa-
ton, General Meade has not been mixed
up, and is not the creation of any politi-
cal faction, but the independent profess
sional soldier, who has won his claims to
distinction and his present promotion by
his sword.

THE HERO OF TIE DRUM.

By GEORGE ". BUNGAT.
THE drummer with his drum,
Shouting, "COme, heroes, cOmew
Forward marched, higher, higher,
When the veterans turned pale,
And the bullets fell like hail;
In that hurricane Of fire,
Beat his drum,
Shouting, Come!
Comel come! come!
And the fife,
In the strife,
Joined the drum, drum, drum
And the ffer with his fife, and the drummer
with his drum,

Clouds Of smoke hung like pail
Over tent and dome and hall;
Hot shot and blazing bomb
Cut down our volunteers,
Swept of our engineers;
But the drummer with his drum
And he beat
"No retreat :"
With his drum;
Through the fire,
Hotter, higher,
Throbbcd the dVum, drum, drum,
In that hurricane of flame, and the thunder of
the bomb!
Braid the laurelwreath Of fame for the nero Of
the drum,
The hero of the drum,
Drum, drum, drum.
Where the Rapp9bannock runs,
The sulphur-thrOated guns
Poured out iron hail and FIRE;
But the heroes in the boats
Needed not the sulphur throats,
For they looked up higher, higher,
While the drum,
Never dumb,
Beat, beat, beat,
Till the oars
Touched the shores,
And the feet, feet, feet!
OF the soldiers on the shore, with the bayonet
and the gun,
Though the drum could beat no more, made
the bastard rebels run,
The bastard rebels run,
Run, run, run.
