At each of these stations RECRUITING SER
GEANTs will be ready to enlist men. All who
apply should bring with them their discharge
papers and such other testimonials Of service as
they may have.
The great object of the Corps is to give hon
orable employment to those who have lost
health or limbs in the service, and are unfit for
other employments. Another object is to en-
able those who have a desire to serve their coun-
try, and have slight physical difficulties which
prevent them from going into the field, TO take
the place of sound, strong men who are now IN
barracks, hospitals, recruiting offices, &C.,
whose duties could as well be performed by men
of the Invalid Corps. 1t is supposed that there
arc honorably discharged men enough to fill all
Northern stations, and thus allow many thou
sand of able-bOdied men to return to the field.
Four Companies will be organized for YER
mont.
No one who is mustered into the Invalid
Corps can be transferred to active service, un-
less on special examination and at his own re-
quest.

cation, who has been honorabiy discharged, and
who reports in person at any ofthe above named
stations, or at my Headquarters, Montpelier, Vt,
with suitable recommendations, Will be APP
pointed Recruiting Sergeant for his own town

The same chance for promotion exists in this
Corps that exists in the Regular service.
