CLINTON, Dec. 2, 1866.

Circular No. 6.
In response to letters of inquiry from sol.
diers who were paid only 500 bounty, and
who have received circulars from claim agents,
promising to collect an extra bounty, desire
to state, for the information of such soldiers,
that the government does not pay any extra
bounty, or issue land warrants for service in
the late war. The design lin my opinion) Of
some of these agents is, by obtaining posses
sion of these discharges, to have control in
the collection Of such claims-charging q
large fee, whenever. (if ever Congress passes
law equalizing the bounties or dor rating
lends. There viii be time enough to employ
agents when there is Law for the paymen,
of such extra bounties.

Why COUNTRIES RECOVER RAPIDLY
FROM TEE DEVASTATION OF WAR.-This
perpetual consumption and reproduction
Of capital aHords the explanation Of what
has Sc often excited wonder, the great ra-
pidity with which countries recover from a
state of devastation; the disappearance, in
short line, Of all traces Of the mischiefs
done by earthquakes, floods, hurricanes,
and the yav2ges Of war. An enemy lays
waste a country by ire and sword, and de-
st-oys or carries away nearly all the NOV
able wealth existing in il all the inhabit-
ants ruined, and ye; in few years after ev-
erything IS much as it was before. This IS
~:edlcdtrlr nCt.rr has been 9. subject of
sterile astonishmen., or has been cited 70
exemplify tie wonderful strength OF the
principle OF saving, which can repair such
enormous losses IN suck a brief interval.
There IS nothing al all wonderful in the
matter. What the enemy haye destroyed
woaid nave been destroyed in a little while
by the inhabitants themselves; the wealth
which they SO rapidly reproduce would
tave needed 10 be reproduced, and would
probably in az short time.
Nothing is changed, except that during
the reproduction they have not now the ad.
vantage Of consuming what had been pro-
duced previously. The possibility Of a
rapid repair Of their disasters m. inlv de-
pends on whether the country has been de.
populated II its effective population have
not been extirpated at the time, and srenot
starved afterwards, then, with the same
skill and knowledge which they had be-
fore, with their land and its permanen; inn
provements undestroyed, and the more dr-
rable buildings probably unimpaired. or
only partially injured, they have nearly all
the requisites for their former amount q
production. If there is as much Of food
LETT TO them, or Of valuables to buy food az
enables them by any amount Of priyation
10 remain alive and in a working condi.
ton, they will in short time have raised
as grea. produce, and acquired collective
y as great wealth and as great a capital as
before, by the mere continuance OF the or.
olnary amount Of exertion which they arc
sccus,oned TO employ in their occupations

To Our Patrons.

One Of the effects Of the war has been 70 place
tpsintes generally on q cash basis. This Is as
true Of the newspaper publishing business as OF
any other, We are compelled not only TO pay
an enorn ously increased price for the paper and
all other material used In the publication Of the
HERAIp, as well as for the labor bestowed upon
II, hut also TO pay the cash for them as We 60.
To adapS ourselves 70 this STATE Of things, we
must insist more rigidly than heretofore upon
our subscribers also adopting the cash down sys-
TEN in paying for their papers. Many Of thehf
have been receiving the Weekly HERALD for two,
three or four years without paying penny for
Il; while We have been constantly paying out
the cash TO supply them herewith. We can do
1t no longer. The sums due Is, separately oon-
sdered, are syEan and can be easily paid but
their aggregate amount s large and We must
have il to meet our heavy cash outays.
We therefore announce, positively, to the pat
rons OF the Weekly HERALD, that on the first of
January the NAMES Of all subscribers who sh2l
then BE in arresrs more than one year for the
paper, will be stricken from our subscription
boofs and measures taken 10 collect what is due.
And
I'd. That sfter the first Of February next, no
papes will be sent from this Office that is not paid
for.
Our object il will be seen, is TO adopt, after
fair notice, the advance pay system for our pa
per This system has prevailed in all the city
newspaper establishment Is for a long time there
is no reason why it should not here, and II is,
at all eveEts, the only system on which news
paper can now be sustained. Our subscribers will
tnd IT the easiest system Gor themselves, and it
tssin require no argument TO show them that
while we are compelled to pay cash down for
esbtt We SEND them, we Inus: have cash down in
Ittasn 10 meet our bills.
W. have mad occasion TO know that our sub
sibars are all rensible people, and we are there
u confident that they will at once see the
, stise and necessity Of the foregoing announce

last years OF his life to the cause of his
country. Previous to the outbreak OF
the rebellion, foreseeing its imminence,
and despairing OF the ability of any
party or political successes to avert 1t,
he devoted himself, with all his heart
and strength, 10 systematical appeal
to the patriotism of the people, as en-
bodied in their love for the memory of
Washington and from the moment the
existence of the Government was threat
ened by armed Instruction, he brought
every faculty of his mind, and every
energy of his soul to its defense. With
a degree of laborious industry which
find few parallels, he has used his voice
and his pen upon every Opportune occa-
sion, and with eminent ability, in sup
port of the Government, and in aid Of
every movement to increase its energy,
or supply the necessities and relieve the
suieripgs of those engaged in its de-
tense. It"would not be easy to name
any man TO whose labors, within his
proper sphere, the country Is more large

married couple in that place. The
husband is a tyrant. One evening dur
ing a severe storm his wife was out
visiting a neighbor; and when she ap-
piled for admission on her return, her
husband pretended not to know her,
She threatened to jump into the well if
her husband did not open the door
Having no idea that she would do So
he obstinately refused to recognize her
so she took log, plunged it into the
well, and simultaneously with the
splash it made she placed herself by the
side of the door; as soon as her husband
darted out in his night clothes she
darted in, locked the door and declared
that size did not kaO,0 him She froze him
till he was penitent, and then let hin
in. II the reader doubts the story, WE
