Lit;, ..ALAIRFSIILEL Tho Desertion mil. > A Serious Clerical Error--full Text of ihe Bill as it Has Bccome a Law. The last Issue of the National Tri­ bune published the debate in Congress on the bill affording relief to a certain class of soldiers, together with the amendments as agreed upon In confer­ ence. under the terms of which all so), diers who served six months in the service became beneficiaries of the. act. It will be rewllptltd thus. th» House fixed the time at tlire6 months and the Senate at twelve, but under terms of the compromise, six mouths was in­ serted and the bill parsed in that shape* Upon examining the approved bill a representative of the National Tribune discovered that, as signed by the Preslv dent, it limits the application to sol­ diers' to those who served twelve months. When the Representative of the National Tribune called at the room of the Committee on Pensions to ascertain who was responsible for the error, he was Informed by ono of the clerks that It occurred in engrossing the bill for the signatures of the Speak­ er and others, and preoisely who was responsible could not be positively de- teriiiined. It is probable that upon the reassembling of Congress an inves­ tigation will be orderetl, and the error promptly corrected, so as to aflord re­ lief to all men who served six months In the service. Appended will be found I he. full text of tlhs bill as on record among the laws at the State Department. Be it enncied by the Senate and Home of Representatives of t\\« United iShites of *1 merica in Congress assem­ bled. That the charge of desertion now standing: oh tl>e rolls and records in the office of the Adjutant-General of the United States against any sol- dier who served In the late war In the volunteer service shall he removed In all cases where it shall he made to, ,p. pear to the ^atUfnctiou of the Secre­ tary of War, from such rolls a:id rec­ ords, or from other satisfactory testi­ mony, that any such soldier served faithfully until the exp^rHtion of his term of enlistment, or until the twen­ ty-second day ot May, Anno Domini, eighteen hundred and sixty-five, or was prevented from completing his term of service by reason ot wounds received or. disease eni.tracted in tbe line of duty, but who, l»y reason of ab- setioe froni His command #t the time the same was mustered out, failed to bo mustered out and to receive au hon­ orable discharge. • SKC. 2. That the charge of desertion standing on the roils and records 4n the Ottice of tiie Adjntant-General of the United States against any soldier who served ill the late war in tiie volunteer service, shall also be removed in all cases where it shall he made to anp^ai to the satisfaction of the Secretanv of War, from such roils and records, or from other satisfactory testiit^ny, ihatjsuch soldier charged with deser­ tion or witli absence without leave, voluntarily returned to his command and served in the line of his duly until he was mustered out of service an/1 re­ ceived a certificate of honorable dis­ charge. SEC. 3. That in all cases where the charge of desertion shall be removed under the provisions of this act from tiie record of any soldier who lias not received a certificate of discharge It shdll be the duty of the Adjutant-Gen­ eral of the United States to issue to such soldier*or in case of his death, to his liel:s or legal representatives,u cer­ tificate of disuharge. See. 4. That when the charge of de» sertion shall be removed under the provisions of this act from« the record of any soldier, such saddler, or. In case of his death, tiie heirs or - legal repre­ sentatives of such soldier, shall receive all pay and bounty which uiay have been withheld on account of «uch cliargo of desertion or absence without leave; Provided, however. That tills act shall not be so const rued as to give to any such soldier as may be eiiliiled *o relief nnder the provisions of tills net, or. in case of ills death, to the heirs or legal representatives of any such soldier the right to receive pay anil bounty for any period of time dur­ ing which such soldier wns absent from Ills command without leave of absence: nd provided further, That no soldier, nor the heirs or legal representatives of any soldiers who served in the army a period of less than twelve months,or who intentionally deserted, shall be entitled to the benefit of the provi­ sions of this act. SKC. 5. That all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. AppwM,Aiig. 7. mi. ^ • *he O. A.'W. ! "We must recruit flfty tViousnnd ortrri- rades this year.'* So says Commander- in-Chief Vandervoort in his "General Orders, No. J." Why not one hundred thousand? It is a question simply of the willingness of our comrades of the Grand Army to take off their coats and go to work. It is not as If the Order vrere obscure or its objects unknown. It is not as if every one were eligible to membership, and It were necessary to make #cauvass of the whole popula­ tion io secure recruits. Only those who g<>rved In the Union anpv or navy during the late war. and were honora­ bly discharge J, are entitled to join it. and it is therefore only among our ex sofdiers and sailors that it is necessary to canvass. The Held of work Is. conse­ quently, clearly defined and distinct. Besides, there is not a veteran In' the country who is not acquainted with the general character and mission of the order, nor any, we are sure, who does not wish It well. Tills being the fact, why is it that of the million and a half survivors of the war, only one hundred thousand or less are members of tiie Grand Army of the Republic? Why. indeed, unless they have not been properly urged to join It? f t is one thing to make ft general appeal to our ex-soldiers and tailors to couueot themselves with the Order, and anoth­ er to ask them Individually to become members, and St is upon personal solic­ itation that we must mainly rely for the building up of the organization. Our comrades of the varioc&Posts must make It their business to search o«teV- ery ex-soldier In their vicinity and use their utmost powers of persuasion to induce hi in to join. In the majority of cases k will he found that but Utile entreaty is necessary; and whfere de­ cided objections do exist, based in all probability upon a mistaken idea of the duties and obligations of member- 8hipT*an Intelligent examination Into their character will be likely to lead to their removal. As for the estab­ lishment of new Posts* .that Is al»o a work that Bhould be systematically engaged in. Instettd of trusting to chance, our comrades should take pains to ascertain the material available lit each point of new or unoccupied terri­ tory for the formation of Posts, and securw the services of some capable and zealous soldier jo canvn"8 for members. The only Way to reach tiie thousands of Union Soldiers - who are still outside of the Order is by means of a direct and personal appeal,, and If a proper method of canvassing is re* sorted to, there la no reason, as we have said, why one hundred thousand Instead^of fifty thousand new members should not be secured during the com­ ing year. • WHY HK WANTKU TO KNOW. At the second battle of Bull Run a recruit who had just joined a New York regiment turned around upen his captain aa au order was given, and asked*: ' "Say, Cap, what are we going to do now f" "Move by the (lank to the left of the regiment,'* was the reply. ,'A1I right--just aa soon move as not" , After the company had held Its new position tqjj i quarter of an hour, there came auotber order and (lie recruit asked: "Say Cap. which way now If*! (iQolug to advance." <j- **Ail right, I'm with you." " > - ~ The company moved forward with the'lffta and was preeeniljr htlly en­ gaged with Jackson's men. They had not been at it over five minutes, when the rocruit slid up to the Captain and shouted: * "s>ay. Cap, holler as loud aa you can and let's see it I can hear you." "Whrft In -- do yo nieauf Back into line with yoiU" shouted the ofll- j!er« "All right. Cap--all rlfeht! The rea­ son I wanted you to holler was to see If 1 could hear your voice when you or­ dered a retreat! Its ail right--I gueas I can hear it if them rebs tloi|*t bring Up more guns!" eREKNIMCK CONVRNTlQIti The Greenback Convention niel ta the Supervisors room, in the Conrt Bouse In Woodstock, pursuant to call, and wascalled to order at t l».

The comical was deliber­ ating on the best means of adorning some ornamental water which they had Just acquired for the town. It wag generally agreed that tlicy should have gondolas, when one of the coun­ cil asked how many It was proposed to have. About six, was the answer.

We believe In the prompt"-' pay* ment of our National debt. 2. Wo see no necessity for two kindik of paper money. National Bank money and Greenbacks, und as the latter t« perfectly safe and satisfactory to tb% masses and does not require the - pel* petuation of our national indebtedness for its support, we believe that- the .J greenback should take the pteo? tin national bank currency. j/ 4, We believe in the unrestricted coinage of silver as well as gold. an| that gold and sliver certificates uia^ tJ be Issued therefor, and should be t&ad* | a legal tender by ^ur government; j '| 4.
