| Lieut. Henry C. Ward, of this city, whose advertisement is in another column, has received authority to recruit a company for the 57th (2d veteran) regiment. Lieut. Ward is a brother of the late Col. Ward of the 15th regiment, and was among the gallant men of that regiment when they left this city in the summer of 1861. After serving nine months in the ranks he received the appointment of Sergeant Major, and was afterward commissioned second lieutenant. He participated in all of the battles of that noble regiment, and was wounded at Antietam. His company already numbers nearly fifty men, and is fast filling up. An excellent opportunity is still open to join a company whose commanding officer has seen service and knows how to take care of the men under his charge. |
