PETERSBURG, June il, 1866.
A meeting of the Ladies' Memorial As
ISOLATION of this city was held at Library
Hall last evening, Mrs. President Joynes
in the chair. The attendance was large,
and the same feeling that has heretofore
distinguished the action Of the ladies pre-
vailed.
On calling the meeting to order, Mrs.
Joynes, in 4 speech of much grace and
beauty, congratulated the Association on
the distinguished success Of the CONNIE
moration Of the 9th of June, and paid
handsome tribute to the earnestness with
which both ladies and gentlemen had en-
gagged in the work OF rendering honors to
our departed heroes. AL classes had We'd
with each other in promoting the general
object. Some bad remounded the graves,
others had furnished head-bOards; those
having vehicles had placed them at the
disposal of the Association; and all had
conducted themselves with an order and
propriety which had never been surpassed.
1t would be impossible to enumerate all
the cases in which important aid had been
extended, and she hoped that every one
who had in anywise contributed to the
success of that days work would consider
themselves as much entitled to the thanks
OF the Association as if they had been espe-
cially designated by name.
A series OF resolutions, expressing the
thanks of the Association to all who con-
tributed assistance in any form, were unani-
mously passed; and to further the objects
of the Association, it was agreed that each
active member endeavor, by the next meet
ing, to obtain the name of anhonorary MEM
Der, the fee for whose admission is ten dol
lars.
The next regular meeting of the Asso-
citation will be held on the first Wednes-
day in July, when preparations will be
made for the celebration Of the thirtieth,
the anniversary of the "Crater battle.
