Regular Army! Avoid the draft! Bounty $652 bounty Wanted for the 10th U.S. Infantry able-bodied men, between 18 and 45 years of age. Head-quarters of the regiment are now at Fort Lafayette, New York Harbor, where recruits will be sent on enlistment.

City bounty! $250 city bounty! $25 cash, immediately on enlistment, making the grand sum of $275 cash before leaving the city. For further information, apply at the rendezvous, N.W. cor.
