Starr King on the subject, that he has consented
to lecture in this place on Wednesday evening,
the 5th of June for the benefit of the Library

1t is hardly necessary to inform our readers
that Mr.. King is one of the most distinguished
and eloquent lecturers in the United States, who
draws immense crowds of people to hear him,

Minutes Of the Fourth Meeting Of the

Minutes Of the Fourth Meeting OF the
North Sam Juan Union Club, May
18th, 1861.
The Club was called to order at s o'clock. by
the President, w. Fl. Sears, ESQ.
Minutes of the last meeting read and ap-
proved.
The Room Committee reported that they could
obtain Littlefeld's Theatre building at SIS per
month, to be used one night per week.
The Committee were thereupon instructed to
lease the room, at that price.
On motion, Committee, consisting of G. D.
Dornin, Jno. Hill, c. H. Hays, and H. II.
Pearson, was appointed to devise ways and
means for an adequate celebration of the aAni-
versary of our country's independence.
On motion of the Secretary, Commattee OF
three was appointed to consider the recent at
tempt to injure our local newspaper: The meet
ing named K. II. Farquhar, w. C. Holt, and G.
d. Dornin as that Committee. They reported

tain persons in sympathy with the traitors now

famous rebellion now in progress in the Gulf
States, therefore,
Resolved, That the North San Juan Union
Club heartily indorses the course of the Hy-
drauic Press in its gallant and patriotic defense
of the UEion and the Government, and earnestly
solicts all patriots to rally to its support and by
active sympathy and subscription, counteract the
efforts of secessionists to injure it.
The resolution was adopted, and three hearty
cheers given for the Hydraulic Press.

The Audraalie 2ress.

FINE PIcruREs.-Messrs. Selkirk & King, of
I. q Knickerbocker Saloon, have recently added
to their galaxy couple of large and magnif-
cent pictures, one in copper-plate and the other
mezzotint. The first is group consisting of
the Empress Eugene and seven ladies Of the
Court, all said to be Hkenesses of the persons
named in descriptive card accompanying. The
second is entitled "Florinde,'' and is bevy of
young girls Of Southwest Spain, indulging the
bath, previous to the Moorish Conquest. "Flo-
rnde," it will be recoected by the reader of his
tory, was the daughter of Count Jaien, mag
nate of the realm, and was defoured by Roder-
lick, then King Of Spain. Her father, in conse-
Taence of this perfdious act, crossed over to
Africa and invited conquest of his native coun-
Try, which was subsequently effected by the
Moors, under the leadership of Tariff, cele-
brated warrior. The pictures are both worthy of
being seen.

IMPRoMpru.-A large crowd of people was
attracted to the town on Monday, from far and
near, to witness the performances of the Mar
tinetti troupe. AS bad luck would have it, a
severe rain storm set in just before night, which
induced the troupe to defer the exhibition. Be-
fore morning the clouds dropped snow, which
broke the poles and considerably injured the
canvas of the Martinetti pavilion. To compen-
safe the young folks from abroad, who had been
disappointed in seeing the "show," dance was
improvised, which came off at George Cullodi's
saloon, and in this manner the hours of the
night were most agreeably spent by numerous
circle Of choice and agreeable spirits.

BALL AND POLE RAIsING.-It has been ar
ranged that the new Theater shall be dedicated
on Thursday the 9th of June, proxino, with
grand Ball, and that the monster flagstaff now
lying in front of Mr.. C. Shardin's Saloon will be
raised on the same day. These exciting events
will draw an immense concourse of people into
the town, and we doubt not, if the proceedings
occur as reported, that they will find the enjoy
ment amply remunerative for the time devoted
and money expended on the occasion.

IRREGULAR DED1cATIoN-The inclement
weather prevented the Martinetti Troupe from
performing under their pavilion, and they were
in consequence compelled to play in the new
Theater, which has been enclosed. but not yet
entirely finished. Their arrangements were
hastily and imperfectly made, of course; but
the entertainments on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings were largely attended, and were of
nature to afford complete satisfaction to the
audiences. They would doubtless have seen
much better under more favorable circumstances

Cherokee Correspondence.

May 20th, 1861.
EDITOR HYDRAULIC PRESS Dear Sir-At
a called meeting of the Cherokee Union
18th inst, the largest and most enthusiastic
gathering of the people ever assembled in this
place, was witnessed. The meeting was held in
"Turney's Hall" which was magnifcently deco
rated with evergreens and boquets. Just over
the speakers stand bazed thirty -four red, white
and blue candles whilst all around" spread
all over in characters of living light,"-streamed
the Star-Spangled Banner.
Upon being called for, that old +" "War-horse
of the Union," Col. James Collins, came forward
and addressed the people. There is no mistake
about the patriotism of the Colonel, who has
fought through two wars for the honor and glory
sof the whole Union and who even now has in
Ais possession sword voted to him by the Illi-
nois Legislature, as a reward for brave and gall
liant conduct in the war with Mexico, when he
was Colonel of one of the Illinois regiments of
volunteers. The Colonel's speech was full of
good hard sense and patriotism. He declared
that, old as he is. he is still at his countrys SER
vice. If the President of the United States
should ever make requisition upon California
for troops to fight the traitors that are now up in
arms against their country, there are hundreds
of bold mountaineers in the State who would de-
sire no greater glory than to be led to battle by
Col. James Collins.
Mr.. Joseph Kutz, of San Juan, next took the
stand, and presume it is needless is say ho,c he
entertained the audience. For impassioned elo-
quence and logical reasoning, it is well known
Mr.. Kutz has no superior in the county.
Mr.. John L. King was next called upon. Mr..
King responded in one of those argumentative,
philosophical and eloquent appeals to the reason
for which he is distinguished.
Mr.. Frank Wilder, (our Frank,) next came
FORWARD, and made very happy hit" by an
emphatic malediction on those three arch-trai-
tors, Benedict Arnold, Judas Iscariot, and JEFF.
Davis.
At the conclusion of the speaking, the Cores
bonding Secretary was required to open a cor
fespondence with the various Union Clubs of
the county, with view to see what could be
done towards organizing purely Union party,
and thus terminated the business of the evening.
Before closing this account of cheering a
Union demonstration as the heart of patriot
could desire, we must not forget to mention that
the speakers were encouraged by the presence of
right, ladies. May God forever bless you !
Come always to our meetings. You are always
welcome. The front seats shall be kept in re-
serve for you. Come; for we can get along
much better when we see you before us, and
know that you are with us.
Yours Respectfully,
Stars AND STRIPES.

The undersigned, deeply sensible Of the dan

Of party spirit, respectfully and earnestly call

Fellow CITIzsEs OF OHIo:-Shal the Govern
ment be preservedf Is now the ali-absorbing
question, and the only one worthy of the consid
GRAFTON of the American People. We feel that
no heightened appeal Is necessary to ami nate
you to the discharge of your duty In relation to
1t. We feel assured that respect for the mem
ory Of your fathers who secured for you the
blessings of free institutions-a sense of the oh.
legations resting upon you as the heretofore
peaceful possessors Of those blessings, and a
proper regard for those to whom You hope to
transmit them, viii be sufficient to impei you to
declare with no doubtful voice your unchange-
able determination that the Government shall
not be broken up.
Compared with the interests involved with the
great question all other interests are of but little
Importance If the Government which estab-
fishes and maintains social order is rever to ex.
ist st the mercy of caprice or disappO nted ambl-
tion, there Is but little of all that we now enjoy
that will not in the loss Of Its stability lose Its
value. Shall II be said that we have neglected,
or put In peril, the proper settlement Of this
question, by onr party diferencesG These are
now of but little moment. They are mere shad-
oWs 10 allure Us from the pursuit ef the sub
stance. Without value, nay, disgraeeful alike
70 victor and vanQuished will be those triamphs
ofparty which are celebrated over the ruins Of q
disnemhered Government
