the gay procession wended its way up the street with the band at the head of the column. It was followed by men bearing transpareneies upon which such mottoes as the following were inseribed: The Bank will not resume. F. Bulletin, September 2d. On the opposite sideThe Bank resumed this morning.' --S. F. Buttetin, Oct. 2d. Ralston's Monument-the Bank of California." will spend my private fortune to save Ralston from dishonor.' William Sharon, August 30th. Hail to the Chief, Uncle Billy Sharon;" The California Bank all Solid Pay Gravel;" "The Bed-rock Pays $12,000,000 to the Pan;" The Bank and the Bonanza- Who's Afraid?" The Bank Still Lives, and so Does Gold Hill," etc. Upon arriving in front of the Bank Building the procession halted, and the band played a number of very excellent tunes, among which was a funeral dirge to the memory of W. C. Ralston. An immense mass of people then collected on the streets and Non. c. E. DeLong Stepped out on the balcony of the Maynard House and addressed the multitude. His speech was short and to the point. He began by stating the object of the demonstrations of the evening which was, as every one knows, to express the joy of the community at the re-opening of the Bank, and to show the managers of the institution that their prompt and honorable action was appreciated by the people of Gold Hill. He said that the resumption of the Bank in such a short time was Unparaliated in Mistory. The fact, also, that the deposits during the day had exceeded all money drawn out ten to one was matter of unbounded astonishment to everybody, not even excepting the managers of the institution. [A voice Fifty thousand to one, Charley.] DeLong--"My friend sees me and goes me some better; NO, in order to be strictly according to rule, I pass." He then went on to say that the history of the past five weeks should teach 1 lesson of mutual dependence between the capitalists and laboring men in the community, for it did not require the foresight of a prophet to see that, without the union of both, this country would still be the desolate wilderness it was when, in a moment of anger, nature cast the dreary wastes from its hand. He hoped the future of the bank would be all that we could expect, and was especially glad of its revival, because he hated to see any country in the hands of a monopoly, such as the most liberal corporation, unless held in check by ahealthy opposition, was bound to become. The two giants-The Banks of California and Nevada-conld now struggle with one other, and the cords that bound the arteries of trade would be cut, and money flow with a healthy pulse in accustomed and legitimate channels. He then went on to state that at the time of the suspension of the Bank, he was in San Francisco, and reviewing the acts of the fanatical idiots at that place, who were ready to To KIII, Burn and Destroy, Or proceed to insane extremity; he feared for the consequences here, where the blow fell the heaviest, and men who earned their daily bread in the fiery dopths of the mines had their hardly earned food snatched from their mouths. He was proud to know that not one act of violence was even talked of, but that the people of this place, like intelligent men, made the best of the situation, and stood their ill fortune without pouting about it like children. A voice-"Tell us something about the Brokers' Chaley." "Well, I'm no particular friend of theirs; they always tell me to sell and buy at the wrong time, but I will say that this time they have done about the fair thing. The brokers up here are the ones deserving of the credit, however, as they took the first steps in what was done. I sincerely hope that hereafter they will be better men. (a voice) "Tell us something about Sharon!" At this point a train came up the railroad coughing and making a very big racket. DeLong remarked that he couldn't be expected to talk against that, and after the noise subsided drifted off into an old anecdote about a lawyer quoting Blackstone to a self-sufficient Justice of the Peace; concluding his address without making any ference to Mr. Sharon. It should be stated, by the way, that during his brief remarks he delivered a eulogy to the Memory of W. c. Ralston, The former President of the Bank of California. Mr. DeLong was followed by W. P. Benuett in a brief and telling address that was cheered to the echo. Messrs. Doten and Harkin also came forward and testified their approbation of the proceedings of the evening. Mr. Doten referred to Our Senator, William Sharon, Without whom there is every reason to believe the Bank of California would never have resumed." He said that men might be disposed to detract from the honor due Mr. Sharon, and question if he had done anything more than his duty. That's all he did; but it was done promptly, as only a brave and generous man would de it. In that one act Mr. Sharon had won a name that would last as long as the history of the Pacific coast and the eventful time through which it had just passed. Numerous salutes were fired at Fort Homestead and the Imperial and Belcher mines during the course of the evening. Giant powder cartridges were used in doing this, a number being set off together each time. The last salute fired (at the Imperial mine) consisted of about a dozen cartridges, and produced a concussion that did considerable damage, the details of which are given below:
