Second Regiment Mustered In
Title
Second Regiment Mustered In
Description
Uncle Sam added another regiment yesterday to its fighting force.
The 2nd North Carolina Regiment of the United States volunteers is a reality, the news liars and scandal mongers to the contrary. It is a regiment of which North Carolina may well feel pround , and if given an opportunity ill add to the glory and lustre of the State. The Second will compare with the best. There is no fighting machine in the volunteer forces superior to it.
The Greenville Company was mustered in yesterday afternoon, making the Second Regiment complete. The officers, with exception of Surgeon Brooks, had been previously mustered in. Dr. Brooks is expected shortly.
The Adjutant General has authorized Mr. E.E. Briton, of Burlington, to proceed at once with the organization of a company of volunteers under the second call made by the President on Wednesday.
