At a meeting of Cunning Post,No.l4,G. A.R.held last night the following brief but pointed resolution was unanimous ly adopted: Resolved, that is is the desire of this Post that any comrade who may at tend the encampment from Astoria shall use every effort in his power to advance the Interests of GeneralMiles for commander-in-chief t-f the O. A. R.
