10 RECBUITING SERGEANrs at the following
stations:
DERBY LINE, LUNENBURG,
B 5A I64&,spr-pv 81 PpR kIHGTS

WINDSOR.
At each of these stations RECRUITNG SER
.GEhNTs viii 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
CRADLE employment to those who have lost
health or limbs in the service, and arc unfit for
other emplUyments. Another object is to en-
able those who have desire to serve their c0un-
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
are honorably discharged men enough to fill all
Northern stations, and thus allow many thou
sand of able-bOdied men 70 return TO the field.
-Four Companies will be organized tor YER
mont.
No one who is mustered into the Invalid
Corps can be transferred to active SERVICE I'M
less on special examination and at his own re-
quest.
Any one who is Of good character and edu-
cation, who has been honorabiy discharged, and
who reports in person at any ofthe above named
stations. orat my Headquarters, Montpelier, VT,
with suitable recommendations, will be ap-
pointed Recruiting Sergeant for his own town
or county, after having enlisted in the Corps.
The same chance for promotion exists in this
Corps that exists In Che Regular service.
