When the war was over Sheridan was or
dered to the southwest. Here he had TO take
charge OF unreconstructed rebels, and to
compel proper observance of the law. In
the discharge Of his functions he quleted
the territory assigned 10 him, evolved order
from disorder, made loyalty noble aud valu-
able and punished treason, But this doing
was too much for the sensitive nerves OF the
Administration He was petiti0ned against
by the rebels and removed. He has been
assigned 10 a command in the northwest,
which he is now on his way to join. AS
capable and successful general there can be
no question OF his position. As a true pa.

be very glad TO see every honor awarded to
him in every section of the country. Should

A few days since intelligence was received
that one OF the noblest heroes OF the war Tor
the preservation of the National Union
Major General Philip II. Sheridan-would
pass through this city, on Wednesday. I'M
mediately our loyal citizens took the necessa-
~ steps 10 give him such a reception as so
gallant and worthy an officer deserved from
loyal, liberty glowing people. The base treat
ment he had recently received at the hands
of an apostate Executive, In removing him
from his command, while earnestly and
honestly engaged IN enforcing the laws OF
his country, aud endeavoring to reconstruct
the rcbelious States embraced In his district
on such bAsis as will secure their future
/ loyalty and the permanent peace OF the
nation, served 10 endeAr him still more to
his countrymen and render him worthier
object oil their gratitude and love. In
response TO the unanimous wishes OF our
loyal citizens the City Council was con.
Vened by the Mayor in special session,
TO make suitable arrangements to tender the
General the inequalities OF Wilmington. a
call WAS also issued on Tuesday for a meet
ing Of citizens for the same purpose. Al
though the notice WAS short, II was one o
lhc largest meetings which has assembled il
tho City Hall for some time. The member
+ OF the Grand Army of the Republic-many
of whom had served under hinl--assemblei
at their headquarters on Tuesday evening
and made arrangements TO contribute thei
\ share towards doing honor to the BRAY
chieflain. The General received such re

, accorded TO any other man, no matter wha
