Resolution in the Senate, May 12, 1862.
RESOLVED, That the Select Committee on the confiscation of Rebel property be directed to consider the expediency of providing that our soldiers engaged in the suppression of the Rebellion may be entitled to bounty lands out of the real estate of the Rebels.
This was objected to by Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, but on the next day it was agreed to.
