THR EVENING NEWS


companies proceeded to the lower part of
the town Of Gold Hill, where they met
the Generals carriage. BY the time they
were ready to start for tins city the crowd
was so dense IN Main street, that it was
with great difficulty that they were able
10 proceed. The Gold Hill Artillery COM
pany fired salute in honor of the Gen
erals arrival and the crowd heartily
cheered him. Governor Nye occupied a
seat IN the carriage with the General. 1t
was quite dark when they reached Vir-
Slnia, vet from the time they entered C.
street great crowd lined the way, and
everywhere were seen at the doors and on
the balconies, large numbers of our citi-
zens, striving TO catch glimpse of our
Distinguished visitor. But it was already
dark, and they could only see the carriage
IN which he rode. In several places on c
street he was heartily cheered. Upon his
arrival at the International Hotel a large
crowd collected on B street in front of the
hotel, and being repeatedly called for, the
General at length appeared on the bal
cony, and being introduced by Governor
Nye, made brief speech. We do not
pretend to give his whole speech, but will
merely mention a few of his remarks which
were most particularly impressed upon our
memory. Said he: 4" II this rebellion is
10 be put down, the reelection of Mr..
Lincoln has become political necessity /;
for there are those who would seek to mis-
lead You by making you believe that this
war could be better carried on BY some
other person than he who now has it in
hand" Here some one mentioned Nc
Clellan. NO." said he, Mcclellan is
not the man TO put this rebellion down.
He who, when at Harper's Ferry, and
ordered to advance and fight the enemy,
declared that he could not move and sup
port his army thirty miles from the termi.
nus of the railroad, point from which
Sheridan has marched his army victori-
ously more than one hundred and thirty
miles. Applause. The armies of the
United States are now all under General
Grant; he who, when he landed his army
below Vicksburg packed his food on his
back and marched and fed his army nearly
three weeks, when he had but two days
rations, and fought and conquered the
enemy, instead of standing sill and asking
rhe Government for things unnecessary for
the occasion. You have your choice be-
tween the two" At the conclusion Of his
remarks the General bowed and took his
leave. As he retired from the balcony,
three hearty cheers were given for him by
the crowd in the street. These cheers of
respect for one who has fought in his
countrys cause had hardly died away
when Larry Murray mounted dry goods
box and proposed three cheers for Nc
Clellan. They were given Of course by
the few struggling Copperheads who were
in the crowd. This, it appears, was con-
aidered great joke, and DR.. Watts threw
his arms about the neck of His Honor,
Mayor Arick, saying" That's the best
thing I've seen yet" whereupon they both
departed rejoicing. Governor Beebe
now mounted the stand in front Of the
Democratic Club room. and began Scold-
ing about Gen. Mcdowell. He thought
these military parades by which the peo-
pie of Nevada have so long been insulted
should be abated." He would also
warn Gen. Mcdowell, in a spirit of kind
" friendship, to take notice" to some
thing which we presume would be of great
importance TO him, but we did not catch
the words which followed. He thought
that Gen. Mcdowell must regret that he
had reposed confidence in the people OF
this Territory" and that he had yet to
learn that Gen. Mcdowell had been ap-
pointed 10 supersede Governor Nye-the
oleaginous Jeems," with much more of the
same sort of talk, we presume, though we
did not stop to hear all his rawlings against
the General.-Enterprise.
DISTINGUISHED ARRIyAL.-Major Cen
eral Mcdowell and staff honored our

the streets 10 the International Hotel, c
street, where he made few timely and
patriotic remarks, which were listened TO
bv dense crowd, every one eagar to do
honor to one "to whom honor IS due"
Gov. Nye was also present, and IN COM
pany with portion of the Generals staff

Union CLuB.-The Union Irishmen are
TO have n meeting, in Virginia, this even
ing, for the purpose of forming Union

already overwhelming numbers OF loyal
men. Such club we think will be Of

the coming election, and will prove to
their fellow countrymen, who are SWELL
inc our armies in the East, that they are
with them heart and hand in the noble
work of preserving our country.
The CoPPERHEADs.-Last evening the
"Street Sweepers " endeayored to make a
demonstration in Virginia, and did, in

their sealty to JEFF. Davis s Co., and their
inter adherence of Uncle Abe and the
right. But with such a class of men. as
Larry Murray, Esq, and others Of SINH
lar character, as leaders of their party they
need not fear of sure success lin being de-
feated) on election day. So we say, let
them hiss and howl to their hearts con-
tent.
