Hon. Edward a,lssrt. or California.

Inc Albany EOeHsHs JOWftus says
Mr.. Gilbert was for long time journeyman
printer in the Argus office. He went, four years
ago, TO California, a volunteer in Col. Steven
sons regiment, and when his term Of service had
expired, established paper at San Francisco
hWhen California became State Mr. Gilbert
was elected to Congress.
'sThough still quite young man, MIR. Gilbert's
life has been eventful one And in his case, in
dustry, integrity, and virtue have been rewarded
by prosperity in business and an honorable trust
from his fellow citizens"
We find the following in the Aaas of the 4th
June:
"a large and respectable body of the citizens Of
Albany, among whom his former associates, the
printers OF the city, took leading part on the 2Sh
OF February last addressed letter to the Hon. Ed
WARD GILBERT, member Of Congress elect from
California, inviting him to public dinner. They
said that, as citizens of Albany, they had marked
with peculiar pride and satisfaction his honorable
and distinguished career, both in the field and in
the civil walks OF life, since his departure; and his
iellow-craftsmen expressed the peculiar pride they
felt that one formerly closely identified with
their interests, feelings and sympathies, should
have acted noble part and exercised SO import
ant influence, first in the defence of our coun-
try's honor and flag in the recent war, and in the
acquisition OF the territory from which had been
formed the State which he had been chosen partly
to represent, and then in erection of the first State
to be embraced in the Union upon the shores of the
Pacific.
"This honorable career, they said the reali-
cation Of the promise which the manly character
and honorable ambition of their young friend
while among them, had held forth.
Detained by public duties, in the presentation
and enforcement of the claims of his State to ad
mission in the Confederacy, Mr. g. has been una
Bile, till now, to meet his friends and former fellow
citizens. The latter, of course seize the occasion
of his visit to Albany to renew the invitation and
the dinner is accordingly fixed for this evening at
Congress Hall, at the hour of seven.
owe have doubt that it will be every way
worthy Of the city and of the guest"
