u .THE Par AND ALLOWANCE or Memo
Thoors.-ln reply to Gov. Tod Of Ohio. the
Secretary Of War, under date of juno 9Ssh,
says:
A caeful examination Of Acts Of Congress
by the Solicitor Of the War Department has
led him to the conclusion that the Government
can pay to colored sroops only ten dollars per
month, and no bounty. A months advance
pay viii BE- authorized. For additional paw or
bounty, cclored troops must trust to State con.
tributions and justice Of Congress at the next

p One day last week a LADY living a few
miles from indianapolis, brought a parcel to
one of the express Offices in that city, to be
forwarded to her husband in the army. Hcon-
tained some articles that she had carefully pre
pared with her own hands. Her two little
children were with her. The clerk looked at
the name and address, and turned away to hide
his emotion. Tat very morning one of those
ouinous boxes which crowd our trains from the
South, had arrived with the name upon it which
was upon the parcel. The remains of the hus
band and father were at that moment at the
depot. The shock to the poor lady was terri
bic.
70 SHAKING QuAkEns.-As is generally
known, the Shakers, or Shaking Quakers, take
no part in politics, never voting nor holding
Office. and especially oppose any resort to arms.
But the present war has aroused . martial spir-
it even among them, proving that human ma
ture remains the same in their secluded villa
ges as in nlocalities more subject to excitements,
and more likely to be affected BY the stirring
events Of the day. Some twelve or fourteen
of the young men Of the Shaker community at
Canterbury, New Hampshire, have enlisted for
the war.
D The OLD HANCOCK Houss.-The Back
Bay Land Commissioners have, with the ap-
proval Of the Governor Of Mass, given . 10,
of land on the corner Of Newbury aad Caledo-
nian Streets, as site for the Old John Han
cock House, and the city will deftsy the ex-
pense of r.noval, the heirs having presented
the building to the city. 1t will be taken
down carefully and rebuilt, and then occupied
as museum-the public to have access to il
on certain days.-Boston PsDer.
p Reel PROTEST AGAINST RErALrAnox-
The Toledo Blade learns through an officer on
guard duty at Johnson's leland, that the recens
action of the rebel authorities i, selecting two
Federal officers to be shot in retaliation for tho
execution of McGraw and Corbin, BY order Of
General Burnside, has caused considerable con-
sternasion among the rebel officers held on the
Island. On hearing Of the proceedings as Rich.
mond. they drew up and signed romonstrance,
which, at their request, has been forwarded to
Washington, to be Transmitted to JEFF. Davis.
Knowing the circumstances of she case referred
to, and the probable purpose Of our Govern
ment, they see no good to themselves in the
game Of vengeance proposed. What effect
their protest may have remains to be seen.
u vallandigbam, in his address to the "peo-
pie of Ohio" says he did "Bos meet Gin the
South) one man. woman or child who was not
resolred to perish rather than yield 10 the pres.
sure Of arms" This il easily accounted for
on the ground that his associations in Dixie
were only With Secessionists. He il tho last
man Southern Unionists would be likely to take
into their confidence.

service7 He has dropped out Of sight recent
