A FEW MORE RECRUITS WANTED

A few more Volunteers are needed to fill up the ranks of the “Cypress Sharp shooters” to 100 men (rank and file) now stationed at Sewell’s Point. Those preferring to Volunteer instead of being drafted now have the privilege of doing so, but will not have that privilege longer than the 16^th day of this month, will address me immediately at Norfolk, Va. None but good men are wanted.

The bounty of $50 will be given to all men Volunteering now.
