IMPORTANT TO SoLDIERs.-The following
explanatory decision, in regard to balance
of bounties due veterans and volunteers,
has been made by the War Department:
LIST. Veterans, Who enlisted under the pro-
visions of General Order No. 191, of 1868,
and the extensions thereof, and recruits,
not veterans, who enlisted for three years,
under the provisions of the circular letter
of October "a, 1858, from the Provost Mar
shall Generals Bureau, and its modifica-
ions are, on their honorable muster out
and discharge from the service of the Uni
ted States before the expiration Of their re-
spective terms of enlistment, entitled to
the unpaid balances of the bounties prom
ised them by the orders and laws under
which they were enlisted.
I'd. A volunteer accepted and mustered
into the service under the act of July 4,
1864, whether for the term of one, two or
three years, is, on muster out before the ex-
pirati0n Of the term of service for which
he enlisted. entitled only to receive the
proportion OF the bounty allowed by the
act cited, whether one-third or tWo-thirds
thereof had actually occurred before the
date of his discharge. For instance, if the
soldier volunteered for two years and is
mustered out before the expiration of the
first year Of his service, he cannot claim
the second and third installments of the
bounty Of zoo, which would nave been
payable to him had he continued in ser
vice till the expiration of the two years for
which he had enlisted. Only the volun-
teer who, at the time of his discharge, has
completed one-half the term of service for
which he enlisted, is entitled to the second
instalIment Of one-third the amount of the
bounty given to him by the act; and he is
entitled to no more Of that bounty if he is
discharged the next day after the expira-
ton of one-ha1f Of his term of enlistment.
The second installment of the bounty is due
and payable to him, but his discharge pre-
cludes him from receiving q third Install
ment, that being due only to the volunteer
who may have served his entire term Of
enlistment.

extent the attention of all classes Of people,
they were eminentIy successful ina pecu-

as exhibitions of the productive

The Delaware and Hooking Oil Company
had on Wednesday OF last week sunk their
wen in Porter township to the depth of $40
feet. At $50 feet they struck a vein Of salt
water of great strength. Should the search
after oil fail, in view Of the quantity and
quality Of salt water that can be procured,
it would probably be found a paying bust
ness to turn attention to the manufacture
of salt. We nave seen a specimen of a
fine and very strong article obtained by
boiling down a portion of the water taken
from the wel-aiso, a specimen of the
water, which is clear as e~rystaland strong
" impregnated with salt.
