An Offer From Scotland - The most significant offer yet made to our Government is that just received from Scotland. Certain prominent Scotch merchants, doing business in this country, are responsible for a tender of ten regiments of unequipped, but well built, hardy, active men, who are not earning $11 per month above their living, and who are ready and willing to enter the service of the United States for the war, be it long or short, on condition that, at the expiration of the war, Government will grant them each a bounty of land.
