THE Second Comptroller warns soldiers
not to trust claim agents advertising to col.
lect $500 bounty for the discharged soldiers
of 1861 and 1862. Congress having passed
no law to that effect, the only object of such
advertisements must be to get hold oil dis
charges for fraudulent purposes.
In the long run it will be found safer,
and, in most cases, cheaper, to employ
an agent or attorney near home, with
whom you are acquainted, to collect
your claims against the Government
than to send them either to the Sanitary
Commission, State Agent or city
attorney. We have collected large
amount Of claims OF this kind with as
little annoyance and cost to the claim.
ants, perhaps, as the same amount OF
claims collected through any other
agency. Whenever Congress shall pass
any law upon the subject Of bounties
of interest to the soldier, VIC shall
promptly give them information; and
until there is some legislation on the
subject, we advise soldiers to keep
their discharges under their own con-
troll.

clergyman couldn't see it. Soldier offered
to procure an order from Gen. Reynolds,
