DOVER, August 18th, 1864.
The joint Committee OF the two Houses,
submitted their report to-day, and offered u
bill for the consideration of the General As
sembly. The Act provides that Bonds be
issued by the State Treasurer for an
amount sufficient to pay a bounty of two
hundred dollars to any person who will
volunteer, 10 Gil the quota of the State, and
i've hundred to an enrolled or drafted man
to aid him in obtaining substitute. 1t also
provides that colored men shall have NO bene-
ht OF the law. Messrs. Parsons, Town
send and Wright are made the COM
missloners to pay out the funds. The
bondB Of the State are be issued in
sums Of $1,000 each, payable in 1855. The
interest to be paid semi-annualy at the
Farmers Bank, at Dover These bonds are
to be issued as the money may be wanted,
and sold at public sale in the city OF Will
mingtOn, after being advertised in the pa
pers Of Delaware, the Aev York journal Of
Commerce, and the Philadelphia Age and
Ledgr. The sales are not to exceed Two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars at one
time.
After good deal Of manouuyring this
bill passed the House, was concurred in by
the Senate, and is consequently now law
think that II they had placed the bounty
at higher figure, it would have had more
salqtary. effect. As it is, suppose we must
accept it as the best we can get, and max,
an earnest effort TO fill the quota of Della
ware. This may be regarded, however, Il,
an impossibility, unless the time for th,
| draft to take place is postponed to a perioS
later than the 9th of September. We hop,
our State officials will endeavor to effect al
arrangement with the General Government
to secure such result.
Another great error is that the bill make
no provision for the appointment of agent
by the Governor, to go into the States il
rebellion TO procure men, and Il a conse
