MILITARY

The practice which prevails, of giving
to soldiers whose term of service is nearly
out, furloughs for the remainder OF that
term, is found to be attended with serious
detriment to the interests of the soldier,
who is often deprived of his arrears OF
pay, for the want of his certificate of dis
charge and final statements, on the eXpI-
ration Of his service This practice will
cease for the future.
At remote interior stations, where the
only means Of communicating with the
settlements is by occasional trains belong
ing to The government, soldiers may be
discharged one, two, or even three months
before their term is out, that they may
avail themselves Of such opportunities,
whenever there is a reasonable certainty
that they would otherwise Ie necessarily
detained at ths post, for a p Rod very
