THE VICTORY OURS.
That we have now glorious, and at tue
same time bloodless victory, over the enc
mics of free government, law, and order' Is
Of course no news to you now, but cannot
deny myself the pleasure Of referring 70 tne
fact; we shall all refer to it with Pride IN
coming years, and would not have missed
the chance of being able to say, 81 helPeo
to do it," small though my assistance may
have been, for the noblest fortune ever aug
out OF your mines, or ores. II has been
long struggle and hard one, but tnank
Heaven the victory is ours, and 1t VIII oe
years before we shall be called on to enter
on such another, if, indeed, such q crisis IN
our national affairs ever occurs again "ltn,u
the lives of any now living on the eal'n'
which doubt.
HONOR TO NEVADA.
Gloriously has young Nevada redeemed
herself from the suspicion Of disloyalty,
which the enemies of freedom have laoored
so hard to fasten upon her. She has done
| her whole duty and done it well, and her
name will be honored throughout the length
| 10y al heart is found.
THE REJoIcINGs OVER THE VICTORY.
Never have seen such spectacle as was
presented on Montgomery street on Tuesday
evening, when the news began to come In
and the magnitude of our victory began to
dawn on the loyal masses. An impromptu
meeting numbering thousands, gathered be-
fore the Uuion street Central Committee
rooms, and as the dispatches came IN from all
parts of the country announcing an almost
unbroken line Of victories for the Union,
| they were read from the windows above to
the assembled multitude, who greeted each
| fresh announcement with cheers which we're
heard all over the city, and increased IN
volume and frequency until the noise was
! like that of the sea breaking in storm on
rock bound coast, or 4 continuous roll oil
thunder. When the dispatch from gallant
| young Nevada was read, the cheers were
! louder and longer than ever, and had you
been here to listen 10 them, | know that you
would have been prouder Of her than ever be-
| fore. Speeches of a few minutes duration
were made by numbers who were well known
orators, and magnificent band made the air
resound with peals OF Union music; Over
and over again, the crowd demanded I" The
Battle Cry of Freedom" and as the band
would strike up this air the voices of the
assembled thousands joined in and fairly
| drowned the instrumental music with the
laundering chorus. Then the crowd, unable
| longer to remain stationary formed into an
| impromptu procession, the flag Of our Union
was brought out, and with the band in adj
vance, the human tide surged through Mont
gomery and other streets, like an irresistible
mountain torrent, carrying everything before
| it, past the Aha, Bulletin, Call and Flag
| offices. cheering each in turn, and rallying
| forth that tremendous Anthem of Freedom
at the highest pitch of their voices. They
marched and counter-marched up and down
until long past midnight, singing, shouting
and hurrahing, and at half past l o'clock
could still hear the steady unbroken chorus
repeated by thousand voices;
| The Union forever. hurrah boys hurrah,
Down with the traitors and up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag boys, rally once
again,
Shouting the battle cry of FREEDOM"
THE RECEPTION OF THE EASTERN NEWS.
As write, at 2. NJ, the town is in per-
feet frenzy ofexcitement over the announce
ment Of the glorious Union victories at the
polls on the Sth, and the capture of the pirate
Florida in a "neutral" port by the MaSsa-
chusetts. Such an excitement has seldom
been seen on Montgomery street. The an
nouncement had hardly been made at the
Bulletin. and Alta offices, when the crowd
commenced cheering, and at this moment
the excitement and cheering is on the in
crease. We shall have high old time to-
night, depend on it.
A SLIGHT DISAPPOINTMENT.
On Monday evening the Grant Club turned
out between 600 and 700 strong, and were
marching through Montgomery street, sing
| ing at the top of their voices the Battle
! CRY of Freedom" when at the corner Of Pine
! street 4 mob Of half-crazy gorillas dashed
| into their ranks with the intention Of crea-
/ ting riot. 1t so happened that the marshals
of the club were unusually numerous this
night, and each bore baton wrapped with
red, white and blue ribbon. 1t also happened,
BY another curious coincidence, that these
batons had for basis or groundwork beautl-
full little headache sticks in the shape Of po-
licemen's kgRunl rite clubs, and just then
the heads OF the gorillas and the aforesaid
batons commenced coming together energet-
ically. The result was striking. About 80
fellows lay scattered over the pavement within
two minutes, and the procession was not
again disturbed during its march.
STEAMSHIP RACE.
The Panama and Nicaragua lines of steam
ships are carrying on lively warfare now a.
DAVIS. and prices are decidedly down. The
Golden Age was to have sailed on Saturday,
but the day has been changed to Monday,
when the America also leaves, and the result
will be a race through to New York. The
America is VIGOROUSLY fast steamer, and
the Age is nowise slow, and as both go light,
few passengers being engaged by either, the
time made will doubtless be something to
boast Of.
THEATRICAL.
The Keans are playing their last weeks
engagement at Maguire's, and Of course doing
as well as ever. They 90 up the coast before
returning to the East and Europe. Ben Cot.
ton, the inimitable vocalist and Ethiopian
delineator, and one Of the strongest Union
men in San Francisco, left the New Idea, on
Commercial street, on Monday-purchase
an interest in the old American Theatre, on
| Sansome street, at which Mrs. Leighton is
engaged, and attempted to play on Monday
evening, but was stopped BY an injunction
sued out BY Manager Bert, Of the New Idea,
who claims to have contract binding him to
serve him for some time to come. What the
upshot Of the matter will be I am unable to
say. Other than this, there is absolutely
nothing to notice in this line this week.
co.. THE DANGER NOT PASSED.
The military authorities here are confident
that so far from the danger Of an attempt to
aid the Southern Confederacy, by rebellion
in the North, being passed with the election
| day, it is only just coming upon US. They
saw the plan Of the plotters is to allow the
Union men to become quieted down and off
their guard, and then make determined
effort throughout the North, Northwest and
Pacific States simultaneously, to overthrow
the Government by violence. The military
precautions against surprise will be re-
! doubled, and the Union men are urged to
| keep up their organizations at the highest
pitch of efficiency. The armed police force
Of this city, about 300 strong, will not be dis
banded at present, and the "citiZens volun-
teer police" will be kept up as before.
THE DULLEsT TOWN OUT.
With the exception of the election excite
ment, there is absolutely nothing going on to
break the dull monotony Of life in San Fran
cisco this week. Business is at stand still,
| and will remain so until the rains come-if
they eoey come-and even the usual list Of
cases Of scan. mag. and petty crimes has
shrunken to mere nothing. have been up
night after night attending to election mat
tiers, and am worn out, SO must say, Adios.
