The
first Regiment of N. C. Volunteers being disbanded, a Regiment of Volunteers
for the War will be formed, to take its place.
All the companies of the old Regiment about to reorganize for the War
are requested to report to this Office without delay, with the view of going in
this Regiment, which will receive the “Bethel Flag.”
Additional
Volunteer Companies for the war will be accepted, to whom a bounty of fifteen
dollars per man will be paid by the State and fifty by the Confederate
States. When a full company is tendered
four Officers will be commissioned; with a less number appointments will be
given as follows; A Captain for forty men; First Lieutenant for twenty-five;
Second Lieutenant for fifteen.
The
Militia who have been ordered on duty, and to be in readiness, can still avail
themselves of this opportunity of getting into the Volunteer service, and the
number so doing will be credited to their respective counties.
By
order of Governor, H. T.
CLARK.
