Vance’s Legion.—ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS BOUNTY—In a few days all free white males liable to Military service, between the ages of 18 and 35 will be enrolled for active service and sent into Companies whose officers have been already chosen, and without Bounty money. When once enrolled, you cannot volunteer. Col. Z. B. Vance now commanding 26^th Regiment of N.C. Troops and who was in the hottest of the battle at Newbern is raising a Legion, and I am authorized to raise a company for it. All desiring to join, will call at my office, of the Drug Store of Porter and Gorrell. This is the last opportunity you will have to volunteer and for Bounty money. Officers elected by the Company.
