Article Text: Originally submitted by: L. Schmidt Eighth New-York Artillery We desire to call the attention of those persons who are desirous of enlisting in the army, and who are as yet undecided as to what particular branch of service it is best for them to enter in, to the company now in process of organization in this County by Lieutenants Bailey, Ludden and Robertson, to be attached to the 8th regiment of Artillery, N.Y.Vols., or as it is best known to our readers the "129th Regiment," now stationed in Baltimore. Apart from the arm of service to which this regiment belongs, we know of no company which we can so cordially recommend. Possessing as it does, so many advantages over Infantry or Cavalry, this regiment in particular is amount the "crack" regiments of the army. It is the best regiment in the Department of Maryland. Lieutenant Bailey was connected with the "old 28th," so well and so favorably known to all for its earliest organization. He passed with honor through the entire two years of service, receiving promotion for meritorious conduct. Lieut. Ludden needs no praise at any one's hands. He is too well known to all for that. He, too, served with honor through a two-years' campaign on the Peninsula. Lieut. Robertson entered service as a Sergeant in the 27th N.Y.V., and left it when his regiment was ministered out, as a First Lieutenant, having earned his promotion solely by his individual merit and bravery. Let the young men of Genesee County, if they are desirous of enlisting anywhere, let them enroll their names in the Company which these officers are organizing. By doing so, they will be sure of being under officers who have been under fire, and who have passed through the trying ordeal of a two years' campaign, receiving the encomiums of both their superior officers, and the men who served under them. They offer to men who have served over nine months, a bounty of $852. To others a bounty of $677. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
