SIR-Your letter of the 29th, in
curing why the bounty allowed un,
der the decision of the Supreme
Court is confined to those who en-
listed between May Sd, 1861, and
July 22d, 1861, is received.
On the Sd of May, 1861, the Presi-
dent called for A. ,034 volunteers, TO
serve three years unless sooner dis
charged. On the next day. General
Order No. Is was issued under it
promising to such as enlisted under
the plan proposed, in addition to GER
tain pay, one hundred dollars when
honorably discharged, without limit
ing the service. This call and the
order under it were legalized by act
of August 9th, 1861. No other
troops for three years were called for
until after the act of July ED, 1861,
was passed. This act, or rather the
condition of enlistment under it, was
indeutical with the General Order of
May 4, excepting that the bounty
promised to the soldier, when honor
ably discharged, was coupled with
the further condition: "if he shall
have served for q period of two
years, or during the war, if sooner
ended" Subsequently this law was
so far modified by Congress, by act
of March 8, 1868, and joint resolu-
tions of April IL, 1866, that soldiers
serving less than two years, who
were discharged on account of
wounds, might receive the bounty.
Soldiers who enlisted on and after
July %, 1861, are bound by the
terms of that act, and it was held by
the Government that the same terms
and conditions applied to volunteers
enlisting under the General Orders
of May 4, 1861, being retroactive as
well as prospective, bu. the Court de-
cided that the promise in the Gen.
eral Order (it having been legalized
by act of Augusta, 1860, eonstitu-
ted a contract with the soldier en-
listing under it, eni tling him to one
hundred dollars VIXEN honorsbly dis.
charged from the service. With this
explanation, the answer to your in
quiry, is, that soldiers enlisting for
three years, on and after May 4,
1861, until July %, 1861, came in un-
der the terms of the General Order,
and those who enlisted on and after
July %, came in under the terms of
the Law Of that date, which limited |
the payment of bounty to such as
had served two years before being |
honorably discharged.

and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing won SO widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through long series of years, and among most
of the races Of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as ithas become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
riOus affections OF the lungs and throat, have
made it known as a reliable protector against
them While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, 1t is at the same time the
most ehectual remedy that can be given for ineip-
TENT consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. As provision against
sudden attacks of Group, it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidOte for them.
. Although settled Consumption is thought In
clrable, still great numbers of cases where the
Disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the CherPy PectOPdI. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat that the most obstinate of them yield TO it
When nothing else could reach them, under the

Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PecfOrdt in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
Rre fully maintained.

THE MARYLAND PENITENTrARY.- The
prison roll of the Maryland Penitentiary,
as shown by the annual report of the
President and Directors of that institution,
just published, reveals the startling fact
that no less than 179 prisoners are con
fined there between the ages of 12 and 20
years. On the 1st of December there
were 687 prisoners-221 white males, 5
white females, 40S colored males, and 6s
colored females. Of the entire number
POT can read and write, IS can only read
and 402 cannot either read or write, show
ing conclusively that crime predominatcs
with the uneducated. There are two
prisoners who have been convicted for the
fifth time, one the fourth time, nine the
third time, and forty-eight the second
time. The balance are serving out their
first sentence.
