UNION LEAGUE mEADauARTERs.

We arc informed that the Union League.
of this city, contemplate leasing the rooms
occupied by them as a headquarters, for two
more years. This is move in the right di
reeiion, and we hope that those having charge
OF the matter will meet with such liberal
response from the Union men of Wilmington
as will render their efforts to retain their
present headquarters for at least two years
longer success. Next year one of the
most important political contests that has
ever taken place in this State, will come off,
and it is but just, right and proper that no
pains should be spared to keep uptho reading
room and headquarters, where the people may
receive proper information on the momen-
tous issues which they will be called on 10
decide. Should they permit this building to
fall into other hands, they may not be able
TO get another that will suit as well, when
they need it for campaigning purposes We
trust, therefore, that the Union men will see
the necessity for retaining it, and subscribe
literally to the fund for that purpose.

Maj. Gen. Anderson, on the 14th Of
April, went to Fort Sumter to raise again
the old flag over the ruins, where four
years ago that same day he had been
forced to take it down. While there, a
young Major related to him the above in-
cident, and then told him he was the boy
who four years before tie General had
spoken to while in the ranks Of the 10Th
Illinois.
The Generals surprise can hardly Be
conceived. He shook the young officer
by the hand, complimsntipg him on his
progress, and wished him every success
for future advancement. That young
officer was Major H. G. Higginson, the
youngest officer Of his rank in the army,
being only twenty years old He was
one of four commissioners who came from
our prisoners at Andersonville, Ca, to
see President Lincoln in their behalf, and
he is now about to raise regiment Of
men who have been held as prisoners Of
war. Young Higginson remained one
year and two days prisoner, and has
been in the army since April, 1861.
