Tux SEVENTH REGIaSSr. The Rutland Her
old makes the following statement respecting
this regiment
We hope that the recruiting agents in the
State, IN their efforts to obtain recruits, will not
forgi the Seventh Regiment. There is now u
detachment from that regiment in the State, on
recruiting service, and Judging from their report,
it is very desirable to enlist for that regiment,
They have very healthy location, and the men
are having comparatively very light duty to
perform. The Seventh have been doing garri-
son duty in Forts, in the District of West
Florida, for the past twelve months, and during
that time have lost but one man from disease.
