Pay of Chaplains.

--The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser says:

‘ Various papers having announced the passage, in the Senate of the last session of the Confederate Congress, of a bill making the pay of Chaplains one hundred dollars and rations, has given rise to the impression that the same had become a law.--The following, however, is official, from Adjutant. General Cooper, in reply to an inquiry from a clergyman on the subject:

’ ‘"An Act to amend the several acts in relation to the pay of Chaplains in the Army."’

‘"Section 1. The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact: That hereafter the pay of Chaplains in the army shall be eighty dollars per month, with rations, as now provided by law."’

‘"Approved April 19, 1862."’
