Ire SUPERVISORY Committee has done wisely in con
nuing It's organization and she prosecution Of its busi
ness OF paying bountes 10 vountsera Tho true plan
evidently 10 20 keep the racks OF the regiments
full possible and rot, heretofore walt until they
completely down and draft ordered whom the
very competition for from quarters made

Should another draft bo ordered oil the Mr. Blunt
raises will be credited quota and thus much
lesseniog the bardsb,ps OF cooscrptioa Tho now
Offering, though not numerous, are Of very superior
oass, aud will do credit to any army Of The world
Complaints still pour 10 to Chairman Blunt, from
soldiers In tho field their friends, OF gross
frauds p-sctiscd upon them BY asents and others
in reference to tho bounty promised them.

from this city to enlist in other localities As induce
mcnt to enst al some other place than this they
promised the cal bounty OF such place, which, they
received, they usually robbed or, and numerous
other bountfes besides such that Of this city, tho
state sapiisry Commission bounty, church bounty,
hicg else that looked plausible aud which, OF course,
they got. Instead OF $1Oo 81 ooO hch these
poor fellows promised Il they would leave the city
and eniist elsewhere some never received
ffty dollars IL is not only hard but terribly cruel TO
defrsud those who are fighting our battles and n.
