To the Citizens of MdrpsviIle;
Lightning is not too fast between Europe
and America, while camels will do between
New York and San Francisco. We rejoice
at the success of the lightning, but hope that
the camels may yet increase their speed

RED BLUFFS, Sept 81.
To the Citizens of Marysuiile:
The rapidity and flight of thought has for
ages past been proverbial, but in its wander
ings over the earth, no footprint no impress
has ever teen made to mark its presence or
render it ineligible to others at distance,
until the wondrous discovery of the electric
telegraph, upon which is Inscribed Eureka.
The line in this great chain which is now
waiting to connect our Pacific with the At
lantic coast and Europe will doubtless soon
be supplied. May the period speedily ar
rive when the sun shall never set upon the
auestern termination of telegmphic communi-
cation. 5. L. STRONG,

Each of the above dispatches elected the
most enthusiastic applause. We omitted to
state in the proper place, that Mr.. R. E
Lueeros, aided by number of our Spanish
citizens sang beautiful Spanish national
air, and that the Choral Harmonic Society
executed the Star Spangle Banner" AT
the close of the reading of the telegraph dis
patches, three cheers were given for Cyrus

The afternoon exercises being concluded
the assemblage dispersed to make the neces
sary preparations for the nights performance
all happy and delighted with the proceed
ings already had.
AT o'clock, the torch-ight procession
formed at the same place rs in the afternoon,
arranged the same as before, except that the
Fire Department took the right of the line 1t
would be almost an impossibility to enumer
ate the different inscriptions on the thousand
and one transparencies which were borne
along by this vast procession. They marched
to the soul-stirring notes of the Marysvile
brass band, and at last brought up at the Pa
Wilton, where the most beautiful display of
fireworks were going on and the cannon's
loud roar was rending the air. The city
seemed one solid blaze of lurid fire, there be
ing scarcely house but was lighted from eel
lar to garret. We would like to mention
some of the houses and stores most heauti-
fully decorated during the day and most
brilliantly Illuminated at night, but as by do
ing so we would give just cause of complaint

After the expenditure of all the gunpowder
outside of the magazine-when the fiery
rockets had ceased to course through the
heavens on their journeys of glory-and the
bonires had burned low," Marrysville's
fair daughters and brave sons assembled
again at the Pavilion, to put the cap sheaf
on the celebration by a granl ball, gotten
up in splendid style for the occasion. Well,
there they danced and played, and played
and danced. to the full content of their joy
burthened hearts, till the grey in the far
east admonished them that the God of day
would soon commence his illumination, when
they, like timid snow-birds that find them
selves unconsciously basking in the shadow of
the Eagles wing, took refuge in their hiding
places, and were seen no more. Thus ended
the grandest day ever witnessed in Marys-
Vile.
