that II 70 designed 70 relieve the regiments now

BERIrITs 70 BB GAINED PROM ENLIsrrMa n
Oh REaMEsrs old soldier, who hes
served sixteen years in the regular service, sug-
gests the following facts as inducements for
volunteers to enter old regiments:
Volunteers entering On organized regiment
will enjoy the following advantages: L.
l. They will learn more in one month in a
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 oftentimes but
inexperienced and imperfect ones.
3. They will better escape the diseases q
camp life among old and experienced soldiers
than in newly organized regiments. PresumiSg
that the inefficient and selfish officers who have
neglected their men have to great extent ~
signed or have been displaced, the officers and
men who remain in the old regiments have learn
cd BY observations and experience the means Of
preserving health, and will impart their knoWl-
edge to the young soldier. In proof of this,
know Q Captain In the army Of the PotomSe
who had been for years in the regular army, and
through the campaign in Mexico, who has not
ost q single man by sickness. ...s.
8. There will probably be less loss Of life in
battle in aH old organization than in new one.
Experienced officers will be less likely 70 expose
their men needlessly than inexperienced oues.-
Old regiments will be lees likely to b thrown
into disorder under fire. Az general thing,
the men will be better cared for, II wounded, be.
cause of the better organization for the care q
the wounded and becauae the old Surgeons have
had greater experience in the treatment Of The
sick and wounded.
4. Young soldiers in IN old regiment win share
the glory Of veteran corps .s.@
And, finally, % it 10 presumed that al whs
volunteer desire to render the most eficient ses.
vice TO the government it 10 safe to say that ten
thousand men distributed through the regiments
now in the field will accomplish more in the next
six months than thirty thousand organised into
new regiments. t.. .ft.. Oh ~. las.
