California was a State of the Union fora period of forty days before the people of the newly acquired territory knew the fact. That was because in the days of old communication between the East and the West was not what it is now, the only means being the slow emigrant train over the plains and the steamer line between New York and Aspinwall, then the five- day trip across the isthmus and the sea journey from Panama to this port. The bill to admit California asa State was passed in the House as it came from the Senate on the 3d of September, 1850, and it was signed by the President on the 9th, but it was not until the 18th of Octo- ber that the people of San Francisco knew that they were part of the Union. When the people were expecting news as to the result of the California bill, it had been arranged that the steamer that should bring the news should, if the bill became a law, fire a certain number of guns. Steamer after steamer entered the harbor, but the long-looked-for signal was not heard until the 18th of October, shortly before noon, the great black arms on the signal-station on the top of Telegraph Hill were thrown up, and it was not long before it became known that the Oregon was in- ward bound. Asshe passed through the Golden Gate, the boom of cannon was heard, first one gun, then another and more followed until the number agreed upon had been fired. That was the sound the people had been waiting for. As the sound of gun after gun was heard the peeple became wild with enthusiasm. “We are in the Union,”” was the cry that was heard on every side. Business ofevery description was suspended, stores were hastily closed, the courts adjourned and there was a rush for the water front by every one who could either ride, run or walk, and even the lame and the halt struggled along to reach a point of vantage on the shore line from which they could see the steamer that brought the glorious news. From North Beach to North Point the shore was black with pepple, but the dens- est crowd was between North and Clarks Point, the bluff where once stood “Fort Montgomery,” a battery of six-pounders, which was on what is now the line of Bat~ tery street and which gave that street its name. The eastern and northern slopesof Telegraph Hill were dotted with curious people. The black hull of tne easy-moving side- wheeler hove into sight. Her rigging was covered with flags and signals wherever one could be fastened, and above all floated Old Glory. As the steamer rounded Clarks Point, opposite which all steamers came to anchor,a mighty shout of joy went up from the thousands on shore, and it was answered by those on the vessel. There was waving of handkerchiefs and flags and cheer after cheer rent the air. The newsboat had left the vessel's side long before she came to anchor, and the “important” letters for the several news- papers were soon delivered and every com- positor set to work to get outan extra. When the first delirium of joy was over the people rushed back to their places of business and houses and ran up flags in token of joy. Those who had no staffs on their houses nailed the colors to pieces of scantling and fastened them anywhere on the house. Flags of every nationality— even the Dragon flag—floated in the breeze. Those on the ships in the harbor caught the fever of enthusiasm, and it was not many moments before every vessel was dressed in holiday attire. It was a magnificent sight. Then came the rush for the news. The extras were passed out of the Alta-Califor- nla and Herald offices, and the crowds in front of them bought them up at $5 each before those having them could leave the office door, and following is what they read: CALIFORNIA IS IN THE UNION, ADMITTED IN THE UNION. From the New York Tribune, September 13. We are at last enabled to send news so long aited by our fellow-citizens on the Pacific Coast. California is admitted into the Ameri- can Confederacy, and to-day takes rank as the 31ST STATE OF THE UNION. The bill for her admission was brought up in the House on Saturday, and after a short dis- cussion, passed as it came fiom the Senate. AT NOON YESTERDAY THE The 57 votes against the bill were ail from the ultra-Southern members. The representatives from California, who have so long been in waiting, will probably take their seats to-day. The news has been received everywhere with most unbounded satisfaction. At Washingto,n 100 guns were fired on 8aturday morning, fol- lowed by a display of fireworks. In this City many of the hotels and public edifices hoisted the National flag in token of rejoicing. The vote stood 150 ayes, 57 noes. While the extras were being served, two cannons were run up to the plaza, and the sound of cannon was heard as long as the powder lasted. In the evening there were bonfires in every direction. The steamer that brought this, to Cali- fornians, all-important news, also brought news of the death of Louis Philippe at Clairmont on the 26th of August. The day"after the news had been received & movement was set afoot to properly celebrate California’s ad- mssion, and after several meetings it was decided to celebrate on the 29th of the month. On the morning of that day all the inhabitants of the City were astir with the rising sun. At 10 o’clock the pro- cession commenced to form ‘on Montgom- ery street, near Jackson, and under the marshalship of the late Colonel J. D. Stevenson, marehed to California street, to Stockton, and down Clay to the Plaza, where the exercises appropriate to the event were held. The seventeen aids to the grand marshal were William C.

A feature of this divi- sion was “‘The citizens of the Celestial Em- pire in native costumes,” the programme announced. These were under the leader- ship of Norman Asing,and carried at their head a crimson banner at the top of which was affixed afox-tail. The banner bore an inscription in Chinese, which was, “The China Boys.” They were followed by a triumphal car in which rode 31 young girls representing the State of California, bearing a banner on which was printed, “California—the Union It Must and Shall Be Preserved.” In the fourth division was Mayor John W. Geary, the Common Council and other officers, the officers of sister cities and the Police Department, all being under the marshalship of J. F. Hallon. Then came the Fire Department, which was made up of the several companies, marshaled by the late David C. Broderick. The watermen of the port, with boats and canoes, were also in this division.

Nathaniel Ben- nett delivered a lengthy oration, the end- ing words of which were: Let us then endeavor to realize the hope of Americans and the expectation of the world. Let us not only be united among ourselves for our own local welfare, but let us strive to cement the common bonds of brotherhood of thé whole Union. In our relation to the Fed- eral Government, let us know no South, no North, no East, no West. Wherever American liberty flourishes, let that be our American country; wherever the American banner waves, let that be our home. Then was delivered an ode written by Mrs. E. M. Willis, which wasso pleasing to the citizens that through Mayor Geary they presented her a bracelet of California gold and make. The first verse was as follows: Rejolce! Hear ye not in the hills of the East The sound of our welcome to Liberty, Union? Pledge high, for we join in the mystical feast That our forefathers hallowed a¢ Freedom'’s com- ‘munion. Then with hands high in air, an allegiance we ear, swear, ‘Which time nor dissensions shall ever impair, And the band of the Union, ob long may it wave, The hope of th’ oppressed and shield of the brave.
