To Volunteers.
The advantage of joining an old regi-
ment are thus clearly set forth by sol.
der, who has served sixteen years in the
regular service:
81. They learn more in one month in
an old regiment than they will learn in
four or six months in new regiment,
for in the one case every old officer and
soldier is, by precept and example, an
instructor, while in the other the officers
only are instructors, and oftentimcs but
inexperienced and imperfect ones.
"2. They will better escape the dis
eases of camp life among old and exper-
fenced soldiers than in newly organized
regiments. Presuming that inefficient
and selfish officers; who have neglected
their men, have, to great extent, either
resigned or have been displaced, the off.
GERS and men who remain in the old reg.
iments have learned, by observation and
experience, the means Of preserving
health, and will impart their knowledge
to the young soldier. In proof of this,
know captain in the army of the Po-
tomac who has been for years in the reg
ular army, and through the campaign in
Mexico, who has not lost a single man
by sickness.
"3. There will probably be less loss Of
life in battle in an old organization than
in new. Experienced officers will be
less likely to expose their men needlessly
than inexperienced ones. Old regiments
will be less likely to be thrown into dis
order under fire. As general thing the
men will be better cared for if wounded,
because of better organization for the
care Of the wounded, and because the old
surgeons have had greater experience in
the treatment of the sick aud wounded
"Young soldiers in an old regiment
will share the glory Of aveteran corps.
"And, finally, as it is presumed that
all who volunteer desire to render the
most efficient service to the government,
it is safe to say that ten thousand men
distributed through the reg lments now in
the field will accomplish more in the next
six mouths thaa thirty thousand organic
ed into new regiments
