fate of aine. Head Quarters, Adjutant General's Office, Augusta, September 26th, 1864. GENERAL ORDER NO. 29. The War Department having authorized the Commander-in-Chief to raise a Battalion of Sharpshooters as a part of the thirty companies authorized by General order No. 28, of the 1st ultimo, Col. Jacob McClure, of Rockland, recently of the Second Regiment of U. S. Sharpshooters, is charged with the enlisting and organization of said command. For three years enlistment in this corps, volunteers will receive $300 of Government Bounty and $300 State Bounty, and it is hoped none will enlist for a less term of service. Re- cruiting will be conducted at each of the Provost Marshal's Offices by persons authorized, and who will prob- ably be commissioned in the Battalion, and the enlisted men will go into camp at Augusta, when they will be mustered into service. This being one of the last opportunities in all probability, during the present war, for men to connect themselves with a new organization of their choice, it is hoped and believed that within two weeks from this date, the Battalion will be filled to the maximum. By Order of the Commander-in-Chief. JOHN L. HODSDON, Adjutant General.
