The Resolutions adopted by the Vanderburgh County Soldiers' Convention were read and indorsed, and a resolution adopted requesting all . honorably , discharged soldiers, and their friends, to meet in.

St. Clair, formerly Chaplain of the gallant 65th Indiana,' addressed the Meeting in a forcible and eloquent manner, and for a while the brave boys lived over the past, or seemed to do so. We hope that no soldier coming within scope of thi call will remaia away! Old Warrick has a host of brave bbys many of whom are now suffering from wounds received, or disease contracted, while nobly defending the old flag, and it is but xight that they should meet together and cooperate for the good of such unfortunate ones. We hope that in each county in this Congressional District, similar organizations may be. formed, and. that the .".boys who wore the blue "may be able to speak to our delegation in Congress, as with the voice of one man, touching the subjects wherein they are interested. ' 'We' should like to bear from old Spencer early.; if these organizations could be effected early enough, it would be a grand idea for all the boys of counties contiguous to this to meet at some suitable and convenient place, and celebrate' the 4th; of Juiy.
