eD- RECRuITISG FOR THREE YEARS.
There seems to be a general feeling, says
the Pittsburg Dispdteh, among the three
months volunteers who have returned in
favor of reenlisting for the three years
term. Those who were dissatisfied with
their company or tield officers, will enlist
in other companies and regiments, and not
a few will enlist in some other branch of
the service. Many of the infantry will
change to cavalry, preferring the line of
service in which that arm is employed
Throughout the infantry of the line pre-
ference is expressed for the light infantry
or ZOuave drill and tactics, the quick
movements and irregular skirmishing of
the latter having charm for the men not
found in the slow movements of the line.
