MARdH1Na 6N,

Last week, two of the Union stumpers
from this county-Messrs. Stewart and
Clagett-t-went over to Humboldt county
to talk = little unionism to our friends in
that section. They were very cordially
received by the Humboldters, and their
visit has not been without profit to the
cause. The Register gives the following
notice of their arrival:
In compliance with notice, the Union men
had grand time in town on Thursday.
Messrs. Stewart and Clagett arrived in town
the evening previous, and were in time to see
what they describe as the most spirited turn
out they have witnessed this year. A little
after three in the afternoon, flags commenced
coming IN sight down on the Star road.
First, Effect specimen Of Old Glory, borne
on Effect staff braced and guyed in the
center Of large wagon, drawn BY four
horses. This was the van of the Star City
delegation, and the wagon was chinked in,
about the flagstaff, with some of the noiSiest
Union men you ever stuck an ak into. Then
followed seven other wagons, from Dun Glen
and Star City, each wagon drawn By four
horses decorated with miniature flags, and
crammed with hard-headed Union men, young
and old-some showing by their frosty polls
that they we're not carried away by any hot
headed youthful enthusiasm. Men on horse
back followed, to the number Of seventeen.
As they drew up opposite Falls mill, Mr..
Torrey fired a national salute from his flying
battery, and the boys responded with round
on round OF hearty cheers that woke echoes
mile OF. An escort in wagons, on horse
back, and on foot, went down with colors fiy-
ing, to welcome the incoming delegations.
Falling into line, they all came up Main
street, following the music Of "the spirit
stirring drum and the ear-piercing hfe."
About midway Of the column, the boys in
one OF the wagons were giving voice most
sonorous to the John Brown anthem. Near
the rear ranks, another club was singing
Rally round the Flag, Boys! Johns battery,
in front Of the Court house, beloved re-
peated welcome, and Torrey and his COM
pany came along well in the rear, answering
shot for shot. The column moved up Main
street to the upper town, and returned an
hour later to the front Of the Exchange Ho-
toll, where it broke ranks and everybody
started in On his own responsibility, to see his
friends and have good time. In the even
ing, ranks we're formed, and large body of
guests and citizens marched from the Ex-
change to the Courthouse, to the music of
fife and drum, the anvil artillery marking
time. Arrived at the Courthouse, T. St.
John, Of Santa Clara, was called to the chair.
Messrs. Stewart and Clagett both made
speeches, which were we'll received. On
the following evening, they paid visit to
Star city, where they were also heartily
welcomed. The Register speaks as fol-
lows Of this visit:
The Union demonstration at Star, last
evening, was a capital one. Torchlight pro
cession, with music, guns, and fireworks
vocal music, and splendid speech each from
Stewart and Clagett. The turnout was even
Larger than that in Unionyille the previous
evening.
Stewart and Clagett will speak at lone
City, Nye county, this evening; and on
Monday evening next at Aurora. The
loyal camps of NEVADA are blazing up
and illumining the skies with the fires Of
patriotism-and on the Sth of November
the cohorts of treason will get their death
blow.
