STATE TROOPS

By virtue of an appointment to me given by the Governor of North Carolina, I shall proceed to recruit a Company to serve as a portion of the State Troops raised under the Ten Regiment Bill, passed at the late session of the Legislature.

By the provisions of this law, the State will arm, clothe and equip those whose services are tendered. The pay is eleven dollars per month, and a bounty of fifteen dollars is given as soon as they are mustered into service.

Persons desiring to enlist can do so by making application to Lieutenants John K. Hughes and Frederick Nash, Dr. J. J. Allison, Maj. Wm. N. Patterson, Capt. Thomas Webb, Samuel F. Phillips, Anderson Couch, Esqrs., or to the undersigned.
