Moore Troops for the War.--I am authorized by the Secretary of War to raise a Legion for the War. I want an additional Regiment of Infantry, two companies of Cavalry, and one of Artillery. A bounty of One Hundred Dollars will be paid to each soldier upon his enlistment. Cavalry are required to furnish their own horse for which the government will pay them forty cents per day, and their full value if killed in battle. The best arms and equipments to be had in the Confederacy will be furnished. Recruits will be received singly or by companies. Turn out and let's make short work with Abe. Address me for the present at Kinston, N.C.

Z. B. Vance,

Col. Command'g 26^th Reg. N.C.T.
