The Odd Fellows Anniversary.

The 2G inst. was the Forteih Nnnivcr.
sary of the in st tuition of Odd Fellowship
in America. BY decree or The Grand Lodge
Of the United States, the day was to be
commcmorated, by general jubilee Of the
Order Throughout the Union. The Order in
this State in all the principle towns respon-
ded to the call, and the day was one of gene :
raj Thanksgiving aud rejoicing,
The Celebration at Nevada, passed of
with great credit TO the managers, anu to
the satisfaction Of every one. a large num-
Der Of people from all parts of the County
were present, The day was beautiful, and
the sidewalks and balloon Us were covered
with spectators, among which was many
women and children as the large procession
Of the Order dressed n their beautiful re-
gala, marched through the streets, to the
music of two fine Brass Bands.
The large Pavilion erected by the Order
for the occasion, was densely crowded to
hear Mr. \. 4. Sargent, who was orator of
the day. His oraton, though lengthy, wa
none the less entertaing and instructive, and
more than met the expectations Of Mr.. Sar-
gents most sanguine friends. We hope the
public may have the pleasure OF seeing il
in print. The celebration concluded with a
ball and supper in the evening, which sur
passed any sim liar entertainment Of the
kind that we ever witnessed. The Pavilion
was beautifully decorated with emblems OF
evcrgreens, the music good, and no expense
was spared to .aake it. what it really was
the finest and largest ball ever given in this
County, one hundred and fifty ladies, and
over two hundred aud fifty gentlemen were
in attendance. and thirty.two sctts danced

AssnnnlruAx YorNn.-Georso A. Young.

ASsEunLYNAN YoUNG.-Gcorgc 4. Young,
now for the second term in The State Assc-
mbly from Nevada. has gained the antipathy
Of the Sacramento Union-has deserved IL,
perhaps from the fact Of being n true Demo
crat faithful legislator and honrablc man.
The sauciimonious lihelcr never attacks the
ones who are beneath those qualifications.
Mr. Young has been misrcprcscntcd in every
legislative movement made hy him this
year. and it was much through his cXcriions
that a reliable paper was established in Sac
iamcuio. OF this, the dclamcrs are aware.
One Of the fellows was informed by Mr..
Young, that If the Union did not cease its
misrepresentation Of the party which had
given its best support. Democratic paper
would be started within a very short time.
The merccnary fegy laughed derisively at
the mention OF new paper. A little while
and the Legislature published their condem-
nations os the JRions incorrect reports Of
legislative proceedings and shortly there.
after the promised new paper was making
its daily appearance and rapidly acquiring
extensive circulation. Mr. Young was there
fore marked fer hatred and vengeance.
Ills integrity as public officer is assailed,
and ii will be remarked ifhe escapes without
yilifcation Of private character. \ few
days ago, he spoke TO question Of privilege
and Justly dcnominated number OF false
statements made in the Union with refer
cnce to himself, as 90 many iialiciously-
written lies. His language was emphatic but
in no way improper ; the falschoods were
plainly exposed and the tradncer required to
dcfcnd-which he could 90 only 10y means
ofadlii0nal falsehoods The EHioR' de-
fence amounts to the fippant charges against
Mr.. Young Of" privileged indccency." His
remarks are referred to as wanton and
violent attack" and lie is dismissed with
the seemingly charitable assertion that be
is welcome TO the reputation his " indecen-
cles' will earn fcf him. We hold TO the
power Of straight. remarks and straight
out truths hence, we say that whoever
declares that the speech of Mr. Young. which
may he found in the Union OF the 18th inst.
was Indecent, OF even approaching indecel-
cy, is either malignant liar or a disgusting
fool
Mr.. Young is welcome 10 The reputation
which his indecences will earn for him, says
the prating, hypocritical kanve- hreling who
is employed to assume the appearance of
gentleman while he acts the part of a eau
tious and systematic libeler. So satisfied
are We that the conduct OF the Union is
based upon disseminating villainy We esteem
il a duty TO respect the man whom it de-
nounces. particularly if he be member Of
the democratic party, public officer or n
candidate for Office Sierra Citizen.

blowing was very favorable for the voyag-
