which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That We, a company, are un-
willing TO leave the town of Washington where
we have been stationed some six week.. with
out expressing our very earnest appreciation
| of the urbanity, politeness, hospitality and
| real kindness Of its citizens and those Of the
surrounding country. We came among them
as strangers, having only the ordinary claims
of humanity upon them, and laboring un der
those disadvantages which unfortunately but
| Justly rest upon our army. They have received
US into their houses; they have supplied TO Us
| refined and home associations; they have taken
Us into their families in sickness and in health;
and, in fine, they have most fully justified and
sustained the high reputation Of the town Of
/ nhd Nvuhsg VI htmp'ADAA hvh uD>-
pitality, intelligence, refinement and benevo
lence. We would do violence to our feelings
and sense of sheer justice, did we leave this
station, where we have formed so many pleas
ant ties, without giving expression to the obi
cations under which these people have placed
| US.
Resolved. That while it is but reasonable
| that the field of operations TO which we have
been ordered, viz: the defence of our own State
and our immediate iresides, should have higher
| claims TO our services, yet we will not disguise
| the fact that we leave this community with
| many regrets, and we shall carry with the
| most pleasant recollection Of friendships FORM
ed, and grateful sense Of kindness rendered
to us during our sojourn among this pc ople
| Resolved, That sh Guild this fair and beauti-
ful country be ever threatened by the unhal-
lowed and unrelenting invasion Of our inhuman
foes, and il should please those in authority to
send this company along with the army for it.
defence, we pledge ourselves to yield to none in
the zeal and bravery with which we will breast
the advances Of the enemy.
Resolved, That the editor Of the Telegraph
be requested to publish these resolutions.
The meeting then adjourned.
