The Richmond Dispatch says:
The revised bill to pension soldiers
of the Mexican war, which has been
reported favorably, has a good pros
pect of passage. The danger TO be
apprehended is from amendments
that may be offered to affect the
votes of soldiers of the civil war.
The report accompanying the bill
estimates that OF the 10000 soldiers
who enlisted in the Mexican war,
about $4,000 are now living, and
that about $4,000 widows of soldiers
of that war survive. The bill pro.
poses to pension them all, without
distinction AS to rank, at So a month
from the date of the passage of the
bill. The pension bureau estimates
that the average age OF the survlv-
ing soldiers is slxty-fve, and puts
their expectation OF lite at eleven
years. The committee say in their
report that the territory annexed to
the United States by the Mexican
war has produced enough gold TO
give every soldier who participated
in that war his full weight 10 gold.
