THE EVENING NEWS.

evening was gala night for the Union
men of this ward After the preliminary
business of the club was ended, the doors
were thrown open to the public who were
generally invited to attend. The hall
was very nearly filled by the members OF
the club, out when delegations from
the second and third wards came up
stairs singing John Brown" more room
was made, which was quickly occupied;
When order was restored, Mr.. BrdSall
said that his delegation would like the
privilege of introducing to the meeting
very modest member from the third "aro
who would address them for few mo-
ments. Immediate and prolonged shouts
for belong resounded through the hail.
when the gentleman attempted to excuse
himself, but the uproar only grew the
louder, until Charley mounted the
stand and commenced his speech. Our
space forbids more than n few extracts
from his really splendid effort. He paid
a well merited compliment to the Fourth
Ward Club. but claimed for the second
ward the exceeding crown Of glory, for
where at the last election the Union vote
was but three hundred, a. this time, the
number of members already enrolled in
the Union club, was five hundred and
forty seven, and more being added every
hour. Great Applause.l He was only
fearful that through the glorious reaction
UnionImen would relax their vigilance.
and urged the necessity Of continued and
untiring devotion to the cause of Liberty
for not alone was Storey county
TO be redeemed from Copperhead
,riumphs, but new State was
10 be enrolled among the bright galaxy of
her sisters, and that too with the prin-
ciples of eternal justice. -[CheerS.l He
thought that there could be hope for any,
thing since the redemption of Wood there
from Copperhead majority, and believed
in redemption even in Hill. The speaker
took occasion to compliment the American
City Club which numbered one hundred
and twenty-five members, who were all
good men and true. He urged at length
the Importance of continuous work, so as
10 make sure against any secession major
ity in other counties, and closed by call
ing upon all loyal men in Nevada to
never weary in the noble cause. The
speech of Mr.. DeLong was most pointed,
and should be needed by every Union
man. Judge Beatty was introduced and
made telling speech, which was enthusi-
astically received. He announced that
the Union men of Storey County, to the
number of three thousand, had already en-
rolled themselves upon the club lists, and
bY November. he believed, one more
thousand would join the swelling ranks
of loyal hosts. \ victory of principles
was as great as victory Of arms, and,
if Nevada came into the arena loyal, it
was q worse defeat TO the totteIing Con-
federacy than q hard fought battle. The
speaker closed his lengthy remarks amid
applause; and upon repeated calls Hon.
John 4. Collins proceeded to address the
meeting. 1t is useless to attempt to make
extracts from his speech, without report
ing the whole, and suffice it TO say, that
his whole remarks were replete with
sound advice 10 Union men, and although
the gentleman was little too sangulne in
his anticipations, ne was very eXcusable
from the pure loyalty and patriotism that
breathed through every sentence. He
took occasion to refer to the arrival
among US of Southern lady-Grace
Stanton-who had escaped the persecu-
tions of the rebels away down in Dixie,
had served our wounded soldiers in hos
pital and camp and was now telling the
public what loyal men and women in the
South were compelled to endure for their
adherence to the glorious old banner-the
lady was shortly TO address the people of
Storey, and he trusted that everyone
would attend. Mr.. Sankey made some
remarks which we were unable to stop
and listen to, but which, We are informed,
was well received. After which the Club
adjourned with three rousiug cheers for
Lincoln and Johnson.
GOLD HILL MrLITARY.-.We have now
three fully organized military companies
in Gold Hill. The first Co., \, has upon
IT'S roll call, one hundred names. The
officers elected are: Captain, George II.
Hodge; First Lieutenant, V. P. WILDER;
Second Lieutenant, W. y. Hall; Order
" Sergeant, C. B. Goodrich. The re-
nainder of the officers are to be elected at
the next meeting. Company \ meet TO
drill on Monday and Tuesday evenings OF
each week, at ! o'clock. We are inform
ed that none but those who come with
their arms for the purpose of drill will be
admitted to the drill meetings, very good
arrangement, as there is no spare room in
the armory for spectators. Company b
have also one hundred names upon their
roll call. Their officers are: Captain. ].
B. Winters First Lieutenant, Peter Lob
ner; Second Lieutenant, Frank Spinning
Third Lieutenant, \. 5. Stacey; Orderly
Sergeant, S. II. Simonds. Company B
meet for drill on Wednesday and Satur-
day evenings of each week. \ goodly
number are in attendance upon drill. and
they all seem determined TO improve the
time in thoroughly learning the evolutions
and manual of arms. The officers Of
both Companies met last night for the pur-
pose of having an officers drill, the
object of which was the perfecting of drill
in perfect unanimity. Last but not least,
the artillery company have perfected their
organization. Elected all their officers.
Commissioned, Capt. J. H. Blackman; LIST
Lieut.. c. H. Beckwith; I'd Lieut.. q. w.
Mckee; Orderly Sergeant, L. E. Carr;
Non-commissioned Sergeants Geo. Clark,
John Allen. E. Drulinger. Corporals, Z.
B. Hotelling, Geo. Stacy, E. Hall, j.
White, o. II. Carpenter, G. w. Rose.
All the on-commissioned. officers were
appointed by the Captain. We are not
informed of their drill night, but under
stand that the company meet on Saturday
evening, at ]. E. Colburn's Saloon. We
very much doubt whether there Is another
town in this territory Tor perhaps on the
coast), of the same size as Gold Hill, that
can boast of more numerous, thoroughly
organized military array thin Gold Hill
can, and all this has been done within the
last six weeks. ...
