Congress, at the las. session, passed a
very laudabls act, which was intended to
provide for tho establishment of grand
national military snd naval asylum, for
the relief OF the totally disabled officers
and mon of the volunteer army and nav.
This was just and benehcent provision,
but Congress at the same time committed
the grave error Of naming one hundred

to organize the institution and minister to

iected we're some very eminent officers Of
the army and navy, and some not so emf

were suggested BY members OF the House
and Senate in order to fatter the indi.

has been that thus "a. it has been impos
sible to get quorum Of the Board Of
Corporation together, in order to take the
necessary steps in :he organization. One
meeting was held some months ago, at
which the attendance was scarcely sufi

journed in the hope that in the fall full
attendance could be had. The expert
mens was tried during the present week
aud only twenty-one persons could be got
together Among those present we're
Generals Grant, Meade, Terry and Hook

Justice Chase, Secretary Stanton, and
others. The gentlemen preient, despair

seventy nine corporators to meet with

SOLDIERS AND GovERNMENT LANDS

SOLDIERS AND GOVERNMENT LANDS
An impression prevails somewhat ex-
tensively ,ha. all soldiers who have been
hohorably discharged, are entitled to one
hundred and sixty acres Of land as a
Government bounty. This is a mistake.
ANY person, soldier or not, can have that
amount Of land BY an actual settlement
thereon, and remaining for FIVE years, at
only the cost of entry, survey, &c. This
right is acquired under the Homestead
Law, and is not based on military service.
1t is desired to provide home for every
industrious citizen, and to encourage the
settlement Of the unoccuoied territory of
the Government. 1t mvy be that Con
gress will make special provisions Of
lands for the soldiers, bn: if SO actual set
tlement will most likely be a condition,
whatever other advantages are offered.

!, For the las. Eve years, the Democratic
leaders in the North and in the South.
have had rough and eventful career,
meeting defeat in all their purposes, and
encountering disgrace in every direction.
Five years ago, the party became divided
by the force Of its own corruptioDs. The
division, as fer as the Southern leaders
we're concerned, was provoked the better
to Justify their contemplated purpose Of
rebellion. The Southern Democracy, in
1860, plotted for the election Of Mr.. Lin
coin. Such a result could and would have
been accomplished at the time, in opposi,
ton TO United Democracy, so tai as the
organization Of that party could have had
any influence on that election. No set of
men understood this better than the South
ern leaders. Hence, they kicked the
Northern Democracy out Of the Charles
ton Convention, compelling the dough
faces either to lick the dust before Breck-
enridge's feet, Or assume the position of
which would add to the
pretexts of the Southern leader. to revolt

must have very little respect or be very
