roads, General Sherman has ordered some prominent secessionists arrested
and compelled them to ride in cars, in exposed positions.
The same system might be adopted, we believe, on steamers running
up and down the lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers. (2)

2417 - L. July 4:2/2 - The bill passed by the House and Senate provides that
the commutation clause is repealed, and the President is required to give
50 days notice of a draft. Bounties, payable in semi-annual installments,
are paid to volunteers, $100 for one year, $200 for two years and $300 for
three years. Loyal states are allowed to recruit in all Rebel states ex-
cept Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana. -
