Patriots met in the Governors Mansion on
Monday the Goth, by permission of Gen. Miles,
and had harmonious and useful session.
On Monday night the splendid Band of
the 40th Regiment gave them serenade
when Col. w. F. Henderson, of Davidson,
was called upon and responded to the COM
pliment. The Colonel, we learn, acquitted
himself on the occasion like good Hero"
His remarks were very much to the point,
and were well received by the large crowd
in attendance. He avowed himself Radi-
cal Republican, and stated, in conclusion,
that Mr. Lincoln was member of the He
roes, and that many other great men whom
the nation delights to honor, are members of
the Order.
The following Resolutions, adopted by va
rious bodies of the Heroes, were ordered by
the Grand Council to be published in the
Standard, with the request that other loyal
papers copy.
On motion, the following Resolutions
were unanimously adopted by tie Grand
Council:
Resoloed, That the Grand Council here as
sembled unanimously tender their thanks to
Maj. General Miles, for his kindness and
courtesy in rendering to the Council room
in the Executive Mansion in which to hold
their meetings.
Resolced, That our thanks are rendered to
the Band of the 40th Regiment for the COM

our efforts until treason is thoroughly and
finally put down, and the American Union
restored on the solid rock Of loyalty. justice
and equal rights.
In accordance with resolution to that
effect. a Committee consisting of J. L. An
drews, Oscar Eastwood and E. T. Hancock,
waited on Gen. Miles, and presented him the
above resolution of thanks. The General
very politely received Them and stated in
reply that it would always afford him pleas
ure to do what might be in his power to en-
courage loyal sentiments among the people.
