The consideration of amendments
took the principal attention OF the
Advisory Councils yesterday after
noon. Under the head of petitions, a
communication from the lieutenants
of the regular military companies was
read. They state that during the time
of active service the lieutenants of the
volunteer service were allowed the
same pay as United States officers of
the same rank The regulars do not
ask for extra pay during the rebellion
but, in view of the fact that they are
always in active service, request that
their salaries be raised to the rate of
United States army officers "a larger
clothing allowance is also desired.
The communication had the sanction
of the captains of regular companies
and many volunteer officers. The
petition was referred to the Military
Committee.
