1. How many soldiers Of the late war .s- en-.

2. Under what call for troops did the nine.
months men enlist, and what time did they

/. It Is not known how many soldiers enlisted
as veteran volunteers during the late war, as .
separate record Of such enlistments was not
kept. One of the best posted clerks in the War
Department estimates the refreshments ss
400 900; but he states that he does not wish
this to be taken as the right number of such
enistments. as it is mere guess on his part a.
there has never been compilation made by
the War Department.
g. Eighty-seyen thousand five hundred and
eighty-eight men were enlisted for nine
months under the call of President Lincoln Of
Aug. 4, 1862. At or near the expiration of
their terms of service. in order to get az many
of these men TO re-enlist as possible, they were
offered the veteran bounty of S402. The pro-
visions of this offer were also extended to other
men who had served nine months in other or.
CARNATIONS and had been discharged for various
causes.
3. From the passage of the act of June ~,
1890, up to Oct. II. 1892, 920, 367 claims have

Atlanta to the Sea-not only that, but ] have
lived in the South among the negroes for 46
years, and my experience is that the maternal
instinct is az deeply imprinted in the bosom of
the negro as in those of other races. His story
is another libel on an oppressed people.
He has painted the negro pretty black
throughout his article, and wonders what be-
comes of black babies in the other world. If he
