A recentlssue of the Chicago
Evening Post says: "Articles
of Incorporation have been
filed with the Secretary of the
State, Incorporating the Hook
ing Valley Coal and Mining
Company, with an authorized
capital OF 100000. They have
purchased several hundred
acres of fine coal lands in the
Hooking Valley, in Ohio, and
commence mining, we under>
stand, the coming season.
Their principal Office is at 162
Washington st eet."
We learn that nearly $780,
900 of the capital stock to this
incorporation has already been
subscribed; and when this
amount is reached, work will
be Immediately commenced.
We believe The corporators are
mostly, il moi entirely, Chicago
capitalists, and we are truly
glad to see foreign capital
seeking an investment within
our county limits so rapidly.
The coal lands of this company
lie about eight miles above

From the Philadelphia Tress.l
discharged for Disability
AnIp0rtant to Soldiers.
The decision rendered this
week in the Supreme Court, in
the case of the United States
against Hosmer, is one of more
than ordinary interest to a
large class oil persons who are
last to find out their own
rights, and too often the first
to be imposed upon by their
attorneys. The Supreme Court
after considerable delay, now
decides sauarely that soldiers
who enlisted in 1861, for three
years or the war, and were dis
charged on surgeons certii
Gates of disability within two
years, are entitled to their 500
bounty, equally with those who
were discharged for wounds, or
the heirs Of those killed. This
decision, too, is final, and ends
the matter. The case arose OIL
an appeal from the Illinois
Court oil cloims. A judgment
was given by that court for the
claimant for 500 bounty for
enlistment under the Presi
dents call for volunteers in
1851, he having been discharg-
ed for disability upon a sur
geon's certificate, The ques.
ton was whether, under the act
oil Congress ratifying the act of
the executive, the claimant
couldrecover, the act providing
that two years service should
have been rendered to entitle
the soldiers to the bounty, un,
less discharged for wounds.
Mr.. Justice Swayne delivered
the opinion of the Court, hold.
Ing substantially that the proc
lamation Of the President and

Department stipulating to pay

ed by the enlist ment of the
claimant, constituted a valid
contract between the Govern
ment and the claimant, upon
which lie was entitled to the
bounty, affirming the judgment
of the Court below.
We trust the widest public
ity will be given to the decision
through Union papers, posts of
the Grand Armv, and by all
friends Of the soldier. There
are large numbers of invalid
discharged soldiers who will
come under this decision, and
their claims have been so long
deferred that probably the
greater part of them have long
ago given Up all hope or expec.
taIion of getting anything.
