PENSIONS! FOE OUR SOLDIRRa
VILONST ACTION Of TOM i2OIIIII24KRIT.
We are pleased' to learn that the government
has already paid pensions to many families .of
our soldiers who fell at the battle of. Stone
Bridge. Believing that the facts regarding the
receipt of pensions will be useful, to our brave
volunteers who are. enlisting, to serve their
country, we have obtained the following an
thentic information
Under the first section of the act of July 4,
1836, soldiers of the volunteer. or militia ser-.
vice and the widows of soldiers dying in battle
Or from injuries or disease incurred while in
service are mat/alto the full bareA of the, invalid
pension laws. Volunteers for more than six
months are especially provided for by an act
passed atthe late session of Congress, similar
in advantages, except omitting • the hundred
dollars bounty upon honorable discharge. •The
invalid pension laws give the wounded soldier
an annual stipend proportioned to his disabili
ty, viz : if totally disabled, the pay to which he
is entiled while in the service ; if half 1118010
(as certified; by the eiduidning surgeourOilthian
half pay ; and so on for a less disability.
Widows of officers or soldiers dying in the
service, or by reason of injur; or disease incur
red therobt, are
,eirtitlait't;periatoir j apriolt;
ing to Orie,half iVed thelrebrks 7 .
bands. Minor children under sixteen (where
there is no widow) are entitled to this pension
(to be equally divided if there is morailda one
child) until of the age mentioned.
No bounty land is providecT, for by law, toF
any service whatever, iftbesitteit: to the
of the act of March 3, 1866. For service pre
vious to that date, the soldier can only receive
bounty land whenhe has been engaged in some
recogniztlw4, tlr side hie) actriallyfietn•Jn

The restoration of the forfeited colors to. the

of a dear brother ? iyho lost his lifeat your head,
whilettitttlrig for his country: I look upon
you not only as my friends, but as a body of
lawn worthy of my especial regard and esteem.
Whether Secretary of War, or a private citizen,
you all will find a shelter under my roof. The
loss of a dear brother is a thought twit to my
heart ; but I need not recount that now, when
seven hundrai officers, non-commissioned of
ficers and privates of our noble army shared the
same fate. I need only commend you, from
the bottom of my heart, to your new, le t t/Alec—
General McClellan.. He is a young soldier,.
skillfrd'and careful, and will present 'yen to no
danger that military science can avert.,
The'organization and condition of the seven

is now complete, and will compare
with that of any other regiment in the service.

liberally the Patriot and Union will patronise t4p
Journal of animate. During the control of Mr.
Rid-lack, it Was the medium by which the Pa
triot generally expressed itself editorially; and
we will see if it will quote from its columns
when it begins to support as it did when, the
Awned opposed the government.
Hs woo: to-day talks " Compromise " is a
coward ; and he who talks " Peace " is a traitor.
Both are the enemies of the Union, and both
deserve the eiolicratiorks of,honorable men.' The
reconstruction of the Union must be fought
for. To close the waewitlimit this would be
worse than death.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
When the Chicago Convention nominated
Abraham Lincoln as a candidate for the Presi
dency, the country was puzzled to know what
influence had induced the delegatesln that body
to set aside so many eminent, reputable and
distinguished men, annul their claims, and
place the highest distinction of confidence and
preference in the hands of a man scarcely known
beyond the limits of Illinois, and with a reputa
tion only made up in a single campaign of strong
and persistent encounter with one who has
since passed to that bourne from whence
no traveller rt3trirns, lamenteii by his associates,
regretted by his countrymen, and mourned
most sincerely by his intimate friends. At the
period of the nomination of Abraham Lincoln,
the country was in political confusion, parties
were rent in twain„ factions
,were bitterly anta
gonized, yet the ahrewilest . of : those who held
the organization of parties in their hands, never
for a moment imagined that the Rail Splitter
Woad beitheirmeendul MAIM three Presidential
candidates then before the country. The great
scheme of thatounpaign was to, throw the elec
,
tion into the House of Representatives. In the
hope that this couldhe accomplished,,, the. - Hem:.
ocratic pIiAY was divided, aridjohn - C. Breekin-'
ridge, who owed all his, reputation to the re
cognition 'and indulgence of that organization,
was made : the, politica .parecide to strike It
down, to
_destrovits ,obligation, ; and ruin its
prcepects, the hotter to secure the defeat of that
other a mightier organization the. Republican.
PiFtYovhisi.k was. then g athe r ing to its foldf , 9/e
energy and intellect of the land,. ,his reference
is nu*. merely to preserve the, connection, of
Abraham Lincoln with his nomination,_ and
the incident!' that°mu afterwards,,.4ur
ing the, exciting „and. laboriou,us- campaign of
his election. La all that time he was deprecia
ted by the men who lead the factions opposed
to him, because Ite,ruade nompeals to the pre
judices of the people, nor in any manner sought
their suPP O O u4 3 -ISc9 3 ::OWSITS4eiIr insifliolis
incgruiistent jetterkor any of the trick
common even to other men who before then
had been awii,tintaajor the Berne high position.
He was willing to ,endure * the ly, of
. . contnme
scorn and derision for the privilege and.fileinity
of silence, believing doubtless that the American
people cared raore,for, the, principles involved
than the men engaged in that contest. He acted
as became a, true.. American citizen, iniprmsed
with the,contingenoy of defeat, and the embar
rassment it would entail, were he to assert a
hoStility to his opponents which would prevent
eiacquiescence in the election should such
re been the result of the contest, and bed
his partizan
enemies guardedthemselves with
,
the same dignity and discretion, they could
have yielded to their, defeat instead of being
forced to carry their opposition beyond, the po
litical arena, and make it, a war of dismember
nient and dissolution of the 'American Union.
From the nomination ,to , the election, and
after the election to.the inanguration of Abra l
ham Lincoln, the country vgill . bear witness
late fact, that the position and actions of the
man defied imputation and challenged pmfi
deuce. The partite which had opposed hira
singly, immediately, after,t44 . o *St Of hiselection
was announced, . : deckled on a. plan:to Prevent
his inauguratical, and when that was peaceably
accoMplished, the same parties, or, their lead
ers, began the active work , of dissolving the
Union. Before Abraham Lincoln had pro
nounced the policy - of his administration, be
was Wined of aggression on , the rights of the
south, and before . therm!, aggressions were even
attempted,: all armed, feroe•Wits attaYed against
his administration,; the capital menaced by
'traitor soldiers, and he himself threatened with
assassizuktion_in the executjxe rusmiton of the .
nation. In the midst of all these, impediments

who has not been assailed as corrupt or de

enemies dare not deny. This the savavnt foes

believes, and whatever may hereafter be detected
in the administration of Abraham Lincoln as
