Nashville, Tenn.

I OVAL OWNERS OF SLAVES who
to Three Hundred Dollars compensa-
ton for each and ever, one. The Board ap--
pointed by the Secretary of War to examine
AID report to Washington upon this class of
claims, is at present in Nashville, and ali per-
SOILS having claims of this character would
consrlt their own interest By calling on me at
my cfice, No. 80 Cedar street. (up s!air+,) or
by communication with me BY mail. Were
1t necessary could give a bong list of some Of
the first men of the nation a. references, but
take it that am well enough known ia the
State, and my success in Prosecuting claims
against the U. s. Government, is too well es-
tabl shed TO need any ether endorsers than tho
hundreds of officers, soldiers and citizens CT
the Sta,e whose claims have prosecuted to
successful settlement. | might, however,
mention the fact that having been connected
with the organization of eolored troops in this
State, and being personally acquainted with
nearly sil the officers OF colored regiments in
this Department, and having besu engaged
for the last nineteen months in collecting Back
Pay, Bounty and Pension for the soldiers
themselves, and being in daily communication
with thousands of them, my facilities for ira
cling utthe company and regiment into which
theJ enlisted, are certainly rs good if not bet
ter, than those of any other parties engaged
IN The business.
As for my facilities for prosecuting these
claims at Washington, filter myself that
none have better.
notice that some Agents are charging Is
per cent, and others IS per cent. fees for
prosecuting these claims, but am OF the o.
rinion that they may be prosecuted for less.
AMI would suggest 10 per cent. And in con-
nectiOn with this would beg leave to state that
| consider this per centsge remarkably low,
but as | am permanently located here, and
have other business to attend 10 at the same
time, can afford 10 attend 10 this business
for less than some Others.
l would be pleased to open a correspond
ence with agents and attorneys throughout
this State, aid will be happy to enter into ar
rsngements with them to furnish blanks and
all necessary Instructions.
Cla ms again the Government, of officers,
citizens and soldiers. promptly attended to.
Particular attention paid to soldiers claims
for Equalization of Bounty.
Colored soldiers are TOW virtually on the
same footing, with regard to back pay. bouu-
ties. pensions, etc, as white soldiers, and any
difference of Pay or Bounty which have been
denied them in the past, in distinction from
white soldiers, may now &c recovered.
All parties having claims in nv hands for
collection are requested to call and see me, or
write to me in reference TO them, as many
changes have taken place in the postal arrange
ments Of the State since the claims were filed,
and letters are being returned to me every
day uDcalied for
/ have a number Of checks in nv office at
present. for different parties, whom cannot
hear from.
In future | shall advertise every Saturday.
in the Nashville Press and Times, and Union
and Dispatch. a list of Checks and Certificates
on hand on Friday evenings.

Navigation Company, plying between Queens
