The ‘Union’ Celebration, as it was called in the published programs, was opened at six o’clock yesterday morning by a salute of one hundred guns in Capitol Square, by the ringing of bells and the display of flags on public and private buildings.
A salute of one hundred guns was also fired at noon, and again at six o’clock in the evening. During the forenoon, the streets were generally empty and quiet; but in the afternoon, they began to be a little lively with people from the country and citizens promenading.
