lee room of'the Wilmington Institute on the

ring together with view to the relief of the

i'll the course of which, il became plainly appa.
rent that the humane and patriotic object for
which the meeting had assembled, met the cor
dial appreciation OF every one present
10 the further course of remark, it appeared
to be the unanimous feeling of thoae thus assem-
bed that, though much had already been well
and nobly done by several Of the church organ-
zatons Of this city, and by private effort, the
time had fully come when prompt energetic and
thorough measures should be adopted by our
citizens at large for the relief of those of their
fellow citizens, who, in obedience 10 patriotic
instinct, have gone forth to do battle for our
common country, and who in the discharge of
the duty thus voluntarily assumed, lad become
sick or disabled by the dangers incident to the
camp or field, aud that while other communities
were mnnifesting praiseworthy and untring
zeal u behalf Of the sick aud wounded, we, citi-
zens OF Wilmington md vicinity, ought to re-
joire in the opportunity thus prese nted of giving
practical evidence of our sympathy, and eagerly
embrace the privilege of ministering to their ne
Gessities.
10 accordance with these and kindred views
then and there expressed, on motion Of Hanson
