THE CELEBRATION.
The ever-glorious Fourth was cele-
brated here yesterday with much interest
and with very good display. 1t is graft
flying to know that the patriotic fire still
burns in the breasts of our people, as
was manifested, not only in this city, but
in nearly every town throughout the
Country. II is the first year of the new
order of things, and it is quite astonish-
ing to observe how quickly all classes
and parties accept the situation, and
settle down into the new conditions. This
speaks volumes for our citizens and in
favor of the Government we have es-
tablshed. What would have been re-
garded, few years since, as the most
incendary and preposterous of PROPOSE
tions, is now taken as a matter of course.
This was the first time Of the colored
folks taking part, as of right, in this or
any other celebration; and ancient slave
driver, old Abolitionist, and recent Cop
perhead marched with them, and made
no remarks. The colored men, however,
did not turn out very extensively. Two
military companies, with quarter-filled
ranks, half dozen proud Marshals on
prancing steeds, and two or three earri-
ages. constituted their division. The pro-
cession, which was the spectacle of the
days celebration, was very large, requir-
ing one hour and quarter to pass; but
exhibited no ingenuity in formation nor
taste in ornamentation. The military
were out in great numbers. and made an
imposing display--as a large uniformed
army would; and the highly polished en-
gines of the Fire Department looked ex-
ceedingly well; aud these constituted the
snowy part. The representative cars
were neither many nor well decorated.
Two or three of these and two boats on
wheels were all of the decorated carriages.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians was
out in great force, and constituted the
civic feature of the procession; and these
with some Portuguese and Italian Associa-
tions were all of the civic orders in it.
No society admissible TO native Ameri-
cans contributed to the demonstration
nor were the Germans or English repre-
sented. Quite a feeling exists among
the Turner'S because their Nereins re-
ceived no invitation to be present, al
though this neglect is explained by Gen.
Cazneau by saying the invitation was
written but mislaid The city and ship
ping in the harbor were completely COW
cred with s-Montgomer street being
so full "a to appear perfectly arched by
them. In the length of one block from
Pine to Bush streets, counted GOO flags;
and If that was in equal proportion with
the rest, there would be 6,O00 flags in
the space from Market to Broadway.
The fireworks at night was one of the
most beautiful pyrotechnic displays ever
seen on the Pacific Coast, aud witnessed
by 40, 600 people. The literary portion
of the celebration was conducted at the
metropolitan Theater. The Grafton. by
W. II. l.. Barnes, was most seathing
criticism upon the political position and
corrupuons of the present time. The
city was filled with strangers. who had
come from all the surrounding country,
and the enjoyment and satisfaction seemed
general.
BUSINESS.
As usual the times are remarked as the
dullest ever known, and there are many
long faces met with in business circles.
There are few quiet failures, and men
ask what are we coming to2 but
think the most of hard times is in the
non-fulfllment of great expectations.
and it is hard TO come down to the low
and ose-calculation business. The
business of the Pacific Coast is in the
condition no tha akolfftau of fha
nation: there is no great leader; there is
no one or set with capacity to compre-
hend the situation, grasp the opportuni-
ties and achieve the possible results.
There is no hope for San Francisco, un-
less the business men in business man
ner. take hold and develop the interior.
All the country has been explored by the
energy and hardihood of poor men, un-
dergoing great privations, and the ineal.
culable, Incompatible wealth of the in
terror made known. II has been done
in times OF excitement, with great rush
and at great destruction of means and
loss of time. The business men of San
Francisco should see that the country is
developed without an excitement, aud
they will reap the reward. But it

because people are then more energetic
and capitalists are prevailed upon TO
come out with their money. There is
plenty of money but il does MT move
the owners are in the torpid state and it
only needs some one of energy and
spirn to remove the sluggishuess. A
good and substantial company here, or
gained to purchase and beneficiate the
ores OF Nevada, would be the starting

speak most favorably, however, are En-
