The EdCefieId IIu2ZnrS.

By reference TO another column, it will be found
that this corps calls for - or 90 more men, to
complete its numbers, for service in the Hampton
Legion. Having been applied to for an opin-
ion us to this service, we take occasion to grc
it publicly for what it is worth. We honestly
regard it one among tho brightest opportunities
that will be offered our young men, Of doing duty
in the war that threatens to call forth the whole
strength Of The South. II is IL conviction with ~,
as matters now appear, that every ,Han who is
able to bear arms will have to use them in active
service Of some kind, sooner or later Ii has
therefore occurred to Us, that The young men uE
the country would all be seeking service at once
lest they find themselves left with the older men
and men Of family in the less exciting duty uf
standing guard over our home de"cnces. THUS
seeking, it is natural that they shnuld wish to
serve among troops where Il high esprit d1 corps
is apt to prevail. And We can say without hcsi-
tatiun, that we know of no prospect where this
dcsdcratum is more certain than in the Hampton
Legion. We say this, knowing the hgh-toned
yet urassuming gentlemen who are at the head Of
least, that nu rii"rt will be spared to make it u
body of soldiers bound together by every honor
able, generous and fratcrnal consideration.
let the young men Of ElgcIcd weigh we'll the
opportunity now offered, Of unti*g with the Edge
field Iluzzars in joinins this Legion; And let
them decide quickly, while they may. This is
perhaps the last body Of troops that will be re-:
ceivcd for single year. The Congress ut Mont
g9mery have decided TO accept no more unless for
three years Or the war. Doubtless this Legion
may continue in service for The war. Gut it is
something to have the option OF doing 80 or not,
as circumstances SHALL guide. The llaz&ars will
certainly go, if they have to fill their ranks out.
side of Eigecll. But arc sure it is their scn-
cral desire, as it must hc of every citizen of the
District, that EIscicll alone shall constitute the
Edgcicll IIuzzars. That nothing may hinder
this result, learn that the officers have sigmiIicl
their intention of rcSigning and having Il new
