- The following additional details are
CLEANED from circulars from the Wsr De-
partuaent. A recruit may enlist for one,
-f4o or three years. He viii receive, be-
side the special kounty of $500 from the
q substitute fund, the regular installments
from the Government, in proportion to the
-,-perlod Of enlistment, as follows 500 for
one years' service, one-third psid on enlist
oi 1asnt $500 for two years service one-third
A on enlistment; $500 for three years ser
s.-yice. one-third on enlistment. He will also
I7-be entitled to local bounties. On arriving
sos In Washington and reporting at the
Soldiers Res, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Depot, he viii be caredfor and enlisted and
paid promptly. Recruits will be sent to the
camp of organization, at Camp CIifburne,
and will be formed into companies and
Regiments ss they arriTe-personsl prefer
ences being regarded when the good of the
"a service viii permit.
Perscns desiring commissions must make
-. written application TO Brgadier General
&C rI.Thumss, Adjutant General of the Army
setting fosth THAR Post nfi0e saaresei the
dAte of original entry into service, and
with what rank, the organization IN which
55alaservice was rendered, the date and cause of
= %. discharge, and the rank at the time Of dis
q charge Testimonials from commanders
sdi may accompany such applications. They
mast on notification, sppesr before the
8 Exanining Board and receive appointment
20 such grade as the Department may
determine. They will then commence re-
.oao cruifng duty for the corps Immediately,
and continue it until the corps is raised.
70 Ill will be at once perceived that this
.rcH corps viii be made up Of the very elite OF
the American srmy-men who have served
7 with, honor for more than two years in the
7S best army IN the world-who have been
tried in the fire and not found wanting
'Es veterans and soldiers, gallant and true
=. Z, Thus composed and thus oficered, it will
~ -bea corps of irresistible might, which viii
L-T achieve most brilliant exploits, and to have
been connected with which viii be honor
'z7 enough for lifetime.
Recruiting committees will also perceive
the hePlendid opportunity which it affords
.rss them for anticipating coming draft. The
~ very character of the corps, and tho dis
sstis tinction which being q member Of it will
~ confer, will call out an entirely different
!. -, class of recruits from that mercenary one
which has been too large during the past
,rzf ysar. But the pecuniary inducements are
q ,sus great In addition to the usual pay and
.Hl bouhties, the Government offers a special
- bounty of $500 to members of the corps
- If to this is added handsome local boun
-ty, the sum is q very large one. Recruiting
OF committees will do well to be alive to thesl
: TsyiI Asets. Another draft is coming. Men vii
- be raised much more readily now than sftel
- = ~ 4he cal Is made. There is another ant
- higher inducement to effort, too ittl,
q O thought Of nowadays, which must not b,
sfl e forgotten. The country needs men. PrOmp
g-si,rforceuie,sts Of our gallant armies r0iE
~ .S iaslre the speedy close Of the a0ar. Moth
! - ing else l0iH
-, we are led to make these remarks from
g .5s tie fact that recruiting for this corps i
ails progressing slowly in this district, and oul
- - people seem to be wasting golden oppOr
~ tunity. Upto Monday night but too re
is9 sc-uiis had been forwarded to the First Corp
Easa1 from this district. We trust that this stat
Of things may no longer Be allowed t
