The FouRTH.-Almost everybody il
Gold Hill went up to Virginia yesterday
to participate in the Anniversary of the
Fourth of July. Although the weather
in the morning was decidedly raw and
cold. at noon it had moderated and was
decidedly pleasant the balance of the day
Gold Hill and Virginia were decidedly
gay; banners and flags were almost every
where to be seen-and We doubt not, il
was the gayest day ever seen in this re-
gion. At nine o'clock, the Gold Hill Sill
yer Bar Hook and Ladder Company
turned out in full force uniformed with
red shirts, black pants, glazed caps, and
handsome belts-and headed by splen-
did brass band, marched up to Virginia.
Halfway between the two cities, a por-
ton of the Virginia Firemen were met,
Jour company being the guest of No. :, J
and were escorted into the city. At
eleven o'clock, the procession of the day
was fully completed, and took up its line
of march in the following order:

The procession proceeded through num-
Der of streets, the fire companies all hav-
ing their engines, hose and other carriages
with them-all being decorated in the
most splendid manner, and which were
the admiration of all who saw them, and
repaired to Maguire's Opera House, which
was completely janmed with people, the
entire upper galleries being occupied with
ladies, and "the coming boys and girl" "
while the parquette was also filled with
people. The exercises commenced with
music by the band, which was followed
with vocal music by the Germania Club,
Virginia Glee Club, and the Band. The
Declaration of Independence was then
read, followed by a beautiful patriotic
poem, read in Frank Mayo's best style.
The Orator of the Day, Hon. W. H. CLAG-
GErr, then delivered a most splendid ora
ton, which was attentively listened to for
at least one hour and halt, which elicit
ed frequent and rapturous applause. The
talented young orator reflected honor upon
himself, and. in our opinion, to-day stands
q head and shoulders above any other ora
tor in the Territory. His production was
original, alive TO the great questions of the
day, and filled with good sound sense,
and abounded with sentiments of true pa
triotism. Mr.. Claggett is decidedly an
ADLER man than we ever gave him credit
for. The exercises closed with other and
quite agreeable exercises in the way OF
music.
