At each of these stations REcRUrT1Na SER
GEANTs will be ready to enlist men. All who
lapply should bring with them their discharge
Diapers and such other testimonials of service as
they may have.
The great object Of the Corps is to give hon.
lorabe employment TO those who have lost
health or limbs In the service, and are unfit for
lOther empOyments. Another object is TO en-
liable those who have desire TO serve their conn
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. II is supposed that there
are hOnorably discharged men enough to fill all
Northern stations, and thus allow many thou
sand of able-hodied men to return to the field.
-Four Companies will be organized for Ner-
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
Any one who is Of good character and edu-
cation, who has been honorably discharged, and
who reports in person at any ofthe above named
stations, or at my Headquarters, Montpelier, Vt,
with suitable recommendations, viii 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 the Regular service.
