To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Can you inform one who went at the call OF his
country before bounties were in vogue and served
10 the battles OF the Mississippi river from the cap
ture OF New Orleans to the fall OF Mobile, why we
don't get our prize money! Have we not earned IL
And have not the captures made by US amounted to
million 50 and was it not all turned over to the gov
eminent? 1t is well known that our victory at New
Orleans was the first death blow to the rebels, and
VINO Is the nation indebted TO II not to the who
COMPOSED the nayyY Now that our gallant Admiral
Is at home, might he not his influence 20 get a
settlement OF our claims. Had we been soldiers
they would have been long since settled.
