CLUB MEETING LAST NIGHT.

The members of the Gold Hill Union
Club had most glorious meeting at their
Headquarters last night. 1t was one of
the largest meetings the Club has yet
held. Vice President Goliath occupied
the chair, and B. {. Whitman, of Virginia,
having been invited by the Club, was in
troduced to the audience, and was greeted
with tumultuous applause. For the space
of one and half hours. Mr.. Whitman
riveted the attention of his large audience
by one of the best political speeches ever
made on the eastern slope of the Sierras.
1t was indeed a master production, and
his hearers showed their appreciation of it
by frequent, loud and heartfelt applause.
After Mr.. Whitman had concluded, Mar
Gus D. Larrowe, of Lander county. was
called out, who spoke for perhaps fifteen
minutes, in very eloquent and forcible
manner. He represented the Union pros
poets of Lander to be very encouraging ;
and in fact expressed his own solemn and
candid opinion that Lander county would
certainly roll up majority of from three
to six hundred for the Union Ticket on
the Sth of November. The remarks of
Mr.. Larrowe were we'll received. The
Club then gave three rousing cheers for
Lincoln and Johnson and three more for
the speakers of the evening, and then ad-
journed until Friday evening.

chair, and after singing the hymn "from
Greenland's icy mountains" and reading
from the Scrip uras (55th chap Isalah,) and
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Brown, editor Of the
Central IsesbyteriaD-the annual report was
read by DR.. Doggett, the Secretary of the So
cicty. The report gave well the details of the
operation Of the Society during the past year,
which We arc not able to give in this alb
stract. Among other items they have given
out 9, $50 bibles-1O, 900 testamenfs, and So
600 gospels to the soldiers east of the Mis-
sissippi. In addition to which has been dis
tributed, they have sold 20, 600 copies Of the
scriptures. These form only q portion Of
the books purchased in England by DR..
uoge The remainder are On the way, and
some Of them will be on hand very shortly.
After the reading of the report, interesting

for the ensuing ysar. $500 copies of the
different books have been received from the
British and Foreign Bible Society, a1d Of
that number $1,000 have been distributed,
showing that the Society has not been Idle
| during the past year. Much good hos been
done md much more remains to do, which
| no doubt will be fnily met By the able and in

The damage TO goods in collars in the lower

AFFAIRS IN THE VALLEY.


From all we can hear from the Lower
Valley the enemy are particularly jealous in
guarding the Baltimore and Ohio railroad Of
late. The Inference is tha: they are trane-
porting troopa over that road to reinforce
the Army Of the Potomac.
About week ago battalion Of negro
soldiers visited Winchester, where they re-
mained several hours, but did no damage
during their stay. A gentleman who saw
them says they seemed to be detected, and
looked more like prisoners under guard Of
the few white soldiers who accompanied
them than soldiers with arms in their
hands.
The report that Messrs Conrad and Viii.
llams had been carried eif by them is with
out foundation.
