our citizens, yesterday, that the Windy
Guards would muster, properly equipped
on the Public Square, at noon, to exhibit
tangible evidence of their adhesion to the
constituted authorities and determination to
put down the San Francisco Vigilance Com
mittee, in response to the proclamation.-
Every one was naturally ON the qui rire to
catch the first view of the approaching COL
umns Of the corps, so that long before the
Guards had taken up the line of march, the
sidewalks and balconies on j street, from
en- extremity to the other, were crowded
with anxious cNpcctantS Of all ages, sizes
colorS and classes. 1t was evident rare
treat was anticipated, and none were diSap-
pointed except few WHO seemed unable to
appreciate the spirit and intent Of the move
ment. As the time appointed for the mus
ter drew near, and for some two hours sub
scquently the popular pulse was quckened

place Of rendezvous The Guards were Or
dercd to assemble at - o'clock NJ, but as
Usual with military bodies, particularly on
graye occasions when every thing must be
lone with extreme circumSpection, the corps
lid not move until about hali-paSt 2 o'clock
Meantime horsCmen were prancng around
he square, mp and down the street, and to
md fro, always 1rcightcd with some impor-
iant communication connected with the
grand demonstration. Finally every thing
Icng found in perfect ordcr-thc cattle
properly hitchcd to the artillery and siege
train-thc arms and accontremCntS in fine
condition for ractive scrvce--the comm.sSary
department literally supplied, &c, &C., Gen.
Buster, through Capt. Windigutz, (hcred.-

troops mt some length in a strain of patriot
ism rarely cqnalIcd. A copy of his speech
has been furnished us, as follows:
