BOUNTY, &C.-We believe it is the gene
raj impression that the men who may be
drafted under the Enrolment Act, will not
receive bounty. If this be the current
opinion it is a mistake. The law is plain
on the subject. The eleventh section of the
act for enrolling and calling out the ma
tional forces, which may be found ON pagel
733, of the statutes passed at the third seYf
sion of the 37th Congress- is in the follow
ing words:
: SEC. H. ind be 1t further enacted, That
8 all persons thus enrolled shall be subject
for two years after--the first day of July
succeeding the enrolment to be called into
: the military service of the United States,
. and to continue in service during the pres
ent Rebellion, not, however, exceeding the
term of three years; and when called into
t service shall be placed on the same footing,
in all respects, as volunteers for three
years or during the war, including adj
!, vance pay and bounty as now provided by
! law. as5
This section xplicitly places all persons
drafted on the same footing as volunteers
for three years, and specially includes for
their advantage advance pay and boun-
: ty'' as at the date Of the passage of the act
provided by law. -.
: This provision of the enrolment act has

many other features of the law equally

der the incendiary clamor of reasonable
x Copperheads. This point should be gen

: men will have the same rights to bounty,
