UNION MEETING LAST EVENING.—Hon. A. A. Sargent and Hon. Newton Booth addressed a crowded, lively and enthusiastic Union meeting at Piper's Opera House last evening. Mr. Booth is an easy, fluent and pleasing speaker, especially endowed with the happy faculty of attracting, entertaining and holding an audience as long as he is speaking. He drew a strongly contrastive parallel between the action of the Republican and Democratic parties during the late war of the rebellion, and in like manner reflected severely upon the difference in the relative positions of the present Presidential candidates at that time. He was very much applauded throughout, his address being one hour in duration. Mr. Sargent followed in a very excellent, argumentative, instructive and thoroughly Union national speech of two hours in length. The Grant Club was in attendance, and appeared on the stage in several of their best campaign songs, closing with the "Star Spangled Banner," in which the entire audience joined in the chorus. The meeting adjourned with three cheers for Grant and Colfax, three more for Sargent and Booth, and three more for America generally. One rarely sees a more enthusiastically loyal assemblage than that at the Opera House last evening.

There will be the grandest time at Silver City this evening. Every Union man should be there without fail.
