We learn that on Saturday the boys of the 65th at Henderson raised a beautiful hickory flag staff 100 feet high, and hoisted to its peak, amid shouts and cheers, a splendid silk flag 24 feet long.
As the proud banner arose and kissed the breeze, Major Brown, of the 65th, addressed the crowd in words of loftiest patriotism and most thrilling eloquence, inspiring every heart to a more stern resolve to crush this wicked and causeless rebellion.
The occasion was one of delight and enthusiasm to the brave boys, who have become a terror to guerrillas, and an eye-sore and rack of offense to all traitors and traitor-sympathizers.
