better display, so well organized, so en-.
thusiastc, and carried out in all its part:
so perfectly. The Gold Hill Circle, after
forming in front OF Liberty Hose Com.
pany's house, marched down as far as the
News office, which they greeted with
rousing cheers, counter-marched TO their
place Of assemblage, where they met the
Circle from Virginia. Nothing in the way
of q demonstration could exceed the bril-.
liancy of the display made by this Circle
as i, came down from the Divide, winding
along like a ~"river Of fire." from the nu-
merous torches carried. amid the booming
Of the gun from Fort Homestead, the dis
play Of fireworks, and the exhileration
that the music Of the bands produced.
Uniting in their line Of march, they paid
again a visit to the News otice-illumin-
a,ed and decorated for the occasion
raised a round of continuous cheers as
they passed. and then wendell their way
to Virginia. Everywhere they were loud
" cheered and greeted; and some friends
of the cause were particularly noticed in
the displays they made. Among so many
of this kind, we can not fail to mention
the display got up at the Newman House,
in the way OF an illumination, and Of the
fireworks shot off in front of the two stores
of Kennedy & Mallon. Every house in
Virginia was emptied of its occupants
along c and B streets, as the procession
passed.
SPEECHES.
Counter-marching on c street, the pro-
cession came 10 a halt in front Of Messrs.
Mclaughlin s Roots store. The beauti-
full flags borne on the occasion-that Of
the Stars and Stripes" and the green
one of the Emerald Isle, were then taken
to the balcony, from which the speaking
took place. According to programme, the
members Of the Fenian State Convention
led of. Messrs. Judge Measher, State
Center, D. Holland, Head Center, Austin,
and J. E. Murphy. Head Center, Gold
Hill, spoke with that brilliancy and elo-
quence for which the son OF old Ireland
have ever been distinguished. We wish
we had space to give even a synopsis Of
these speeches, but must forbear. After
this Mr.. W. Woodburn was called out.
He was followed by our friend, and the
warm friend Of the Fenian cause. Colonel
Charles A. Sumner.
NOTICES MI rRASsPARANcIgs.
OF the notices gotten up for this occa-
sion, we must say they were exceedingly
appropria,e-many Of them particularly
pungent in language. We mention some
as examples: The American Republic,
the home Of the exiles of English ty-
ranny - THE Fenian Brotherhood will
soon write Robert Emmet's epi,aph;"
james Stephens, he is combating the
same enemy in Ireland that Washington
did in America :" England, the robber
on land and the pirate on the seas :" and
many others equally expressive. It was
conceded by good judges, that at least five
hundred men were in this procession. The
best Of order prevailed throughout. and
our Fenian friends should feel proud OF
the whole affair.
Music HALL.-We stepped out from the
Fenian demonstration last evening, for
the purpose Of seeing how our fellow-cisi-
e responded to the benefit given to a
worthy gentleman. We were fearful that.
in consequence Of this demonstration al
though many tickets might have been dis
posed Of outside, a very slim attendance
would be the result. To our surprise and
establishment, we found the house crowded
20 an extent never before witnessed. This
peaks well for the people OF Gold Hill
and Virginia ; and should we have had a
doubt OF them, after noticing their re-
spouse 10 the calls Of the Sanitary fund
LET TIE object be understood, and we do
not believe a people can be found on the
lace Of the earth, so ready and willing TO
a~ssponi'to all charitable objects, than our
own. The performers, without an excep-
hon, agpeared zen rapport" with their
audience in this beneft-seemed TO draw
inspiration as il were, from so numerous a
prc5gace. During the performance, the
euciciary appeared upon the stage. when
Billy Sheppard spoke Of him and the OBJ
isg. of the benefit. The a~fter-piece on
ais occasion, was decidedly rich. Par
dey. Collins. Foster, Sheppard, on the
part Of the male members, and Mrs. yea
mans. Misses Josephine, Sally Ihayer,
Minnie Fillmore, Maggie Moore. and other
ladies, did most excellently. Ladies and
gentlemen of Music Hall, you have our
thanks for pleasures afforded.
ACCOUNTABILITY Feuisn Convention,
after a session Of four days, adjourned yes
terday. We understand that considerable
business was done in relation to the Order in
this State. James Stephens was endorsed as
Chief Executive. The officers elected for
the ensuing year are as follows: State Gen.
ter, James D. Meagher, Of Virginia State
Secretary, P. S. O'Reily, Virginia State
Treasurer, 7. o. Connell, Gold Hill; State
Central Council-D. Holland, Austin VIM.
Hayes, Virginia; ]. Z. Murphy, Gold Hill;
Dennis O'Leary, Silver City, and William b.
Lawler, Carson City. The greatest harmony
prevailed in all the proceedings OF the Con-
yention.
AccIpENr.-Foster, our well known ca
terer to the wants Of the general public, in
furnishing them with that indispensable
article, iee-in warm wea,her-met with
quite an acciden, and loss, at the lower part
Of the town this morning. His two-horse
team, lefe standing in front Of the boiler
works there, became frightened from some
cause or other, rushed down the hill at a fu-
rious speed, when, At the Pioneer Foundry,
they brought up suddenly against some iron
deposited there. One horse was killed out
right, while the other was badly lacerated,
and the wagon smashed. We regret this, as
Foster is Il worthy man.
CHEaRs.-A most enthusiastic procession
wa, tina, Of las, night. Dean Swift said that
the Irish people were the best hurrahers in
the world. When the line passed kennedy
q Mallon's store. adjoining the Enterprise
Office, the shouts in response to the brilliant
S;snlay made BY that firm, Of ire works, we're
powerfully loud. Messrs. Kennedy &
Mallon expended a hundred dollars for ian
dl.s. rockets, blue lights, etc., to illumi-
nate" on the occasion. Their display de-
served the compliments received.
LIRoB LoADs.-There were hauled to
Birdsal & Carpenters Mill, Dayton BY

Load, ON two wagons, and weighed at the
