As  my  Company  is  the  last  Infantry  Conrpanj 
organized  in  GuiIforcl,and  judging  from  the  FroC' 
iamation  by  the  Governor,  it  may  be  the  last  re« 
ceived  by  the  State,  I  desire  a  few  more  men  to 
join  me  immediately.    I  will  leave  on  Monday, 
5th  inst.,  and  persons  desiring  to  join,  who  do  not 
Iiave  an  opportunity  before  that  time,  can  rejjort 
to  my  Company  at  Camp  Mangum,  near  Raleigh^ 
All  have  had  ample  time  to  study  the  Conscript 
Law,  and  must  know  that  all  between  18  and  3Si 
years  of  age  will  have  no  opportunity  to  volunteer 
after  the  I^th  inst.  Come  in  and  save  the  bounty, 
aj^  no  bounty  will  be  paid  after  the  l^th.    Those 
having  unsettled  business  will  be  allowed  time  to 
wind  up. 
Capt.  Gfregory,  an  able  officer,  is  now  in  tlii^ 
ounty  legally  authorized  to  raise  an  Artillerj'^ 
ompany,  and  those  preferring  this  beautiful  am 
f  the  service,  will  never  have  a  better  opportu- 
hity. 

The  following  order  from  Gov.  Clark  is  pub^ 
li^hed  for  your  instruction:  I 

"  Ail  Companies  authorized  by  the  Governor  to  be  raised  prior  to  the  passage  of  the  law  known  as  tlfl 
'C<.>nsrr:ption  Bill,"  must  come  to  Camp  Mangum  near  Raleigh,  before  the  17th  day  of  May;  otherwise  th^ 
^ill  not  bo  rcccivpd.  ■ 

All  those  not  in  by  that  time  will  be  subject  to  the  War  Department  under  that  law,and  had  better  remaiQ  n 
}mo  till  ordered  by  that  Department."  M
