THE EVENING NEWS.

UNION Club MEETISG.-A very 4aESS
and enthusiastic meeting was gathered At
the old Theater last evening. The exer-
cises of the evening were opened by the
singing of The Union" by the Gold Hill
Glee Club, when the President stated that
he had remarked i'll the early stages OF the
formation of this Club, that six hundred
names could be enrolled in Gold Hill, and
now already there were six hundred and
uine--the largest Union Club in the Ter
r;tory-and yet they come; so that there
WAS no doubt that eight hundred or
thousand nsmes would be enrolled ere
long. Tremendous cheerS.) Col. ITr-
ner, of Virginia. was then introduced and
he highly complimentcd Gold Hill for the
unanImitv which had always characterized
her citizens: that Virginia had always
been disposed to pull in different direc-
lions, and could nos be relied upon with
the same certainty that Gold Hill could,
and therefore Virginia was continually
looking to Gold Hill TO see how she came
out. Here the Colonel remarked that
there were others present who could en-
;ertain the meeting better than he, and,
thanking them for the kind reception he
had received. he made way for q more able
speaker, Mr.. CiaSctt, who being nitro
duced. stepped forward, amidst great ap-
plause, and made a speech which, with
truest loyalty, fervant patriotism and truly
eloquent language, could not be surpassed
proving, beyond doubt, the utter folly
of any compromise until the glorious old
Tag should wave uninterrupted over all
our land, with thirty six stars dottinS the
emblem of the free. Long and continued
applause.l Il can hardly be necessary for
US to attempt report Of his speech, as
nearly all our citizens were there 20 hear
il. We are not able 10 do the subject JUS
ice. and will only add that Mr.. Clasytt
is without doubt the rising man OF
the silver State, and our new State will
not fail TO do him the honor which his
talents, patriotism and devotion 20 the
cause of our Union demands. lie was
often and most enthusiastically eEcored,
and must have felt well pleased 20 know
that his effort was so heartily received, as
was manifest TO al who were present.
We should have stated, that upon the con-
clusion of Col. Turner'S speech the Cab
we're favored by another song, "Ihe bat
tie Cry OF Freedom" from the Glee Club.
which was well rendered and loudly ag-
plauded, and helped greatly 10 ephven and
give a pleasing variety - the meeting.
We sincerely hope that by this par; OF
Singing in the Club" the performance
will be encouraged and KEEP up with ami
nation, as singing can do that which moth
ing else can take the place OF in gather
ings like these. Upon the conclusion OF
Mr.. Clagert's speech old John Browns

determined TO carry al before him this
time for the Union, honest Abe, and nan
DIV ANDY. Then the Presiden; proposed
three cheers for the Stars and Stripes,
three for Lincoln and Johnson and for the
Union. We may truly say that never did
such glorious shout so up from ,Goid
Hill before. Company Is then game, N
full uniform, adding their shouts, when
three rouslng cheers were given Tor the
Gold Hill Home Guards, and three for
Company B. The Club then adjourned,
10 meet next Friday evening at the new
hotel in lower Gold Hill. Thus the work
goes bravely and surely on.
