The Pitas of last evening contained
most represensible article, one calculated
TO excite alarm and indignation among the
people and prejudice and luminosity against
the Governor of the Territory. The idea
sought to be conveyed by that article is
Enthusiastically that Governor Nye contem-
plated the parading Of the military forces
on election day, for the purpose of either
controlling the vote or intmidating the
citizens. The incubation Of that idea in
the community could have been only the
the result of inexcusable ignorance, imper-
tinent and mischieyous meddling, or viii
full Misrepresentation. Governor Nye was
in Virginia on Saturday list, and had a
consultation with several citizens, among
whom were Mayor Arick and General
Van Bokkelen, and, in company with those
gentlemen, visited Gold Hill and Silver
City. At these points, other citizens were
consulted upon the subject under consid-
Grafton. Among those admitted to the
conference, the editor Of the Piats may or
NAV not have been included-we are not
informed on that point. This, however,
we do know, and that is if he was so con-
suited, he knows that his whole article of
Yesterday is erroneous in statement and
pernicious in effect. If he was not so
consulted, lie has raised baseless panic
and Glamour upon subject that he nei-
ther knows anything about, nor has taken
anv pains to inform himself. If he saw
that armed guard he saw Mayor Arrick
with them and could have ascertained, if
the Mayor considered him trustworthy,
all about the afaif. The matter under
consideration was and is one Of the deep
est interest to all the community, but at
the same time one that could be better at
tended to by few persons than by many,
and better done quietly than by making
it the town-talk. 1t had and has no more
to do with " election day" or the Miners
League than it has with the war In Dem
mark. We know what we are writing
about, and give our readers the most sol
emn assurance that the ideas conveyed by
the Pists are utterly baseless.
P. S.-We wrote the foregoing last
evening, immediately on reading the ar
ticle in the PiMts. The following card
which we find in this mornings UaioH
fully corroborates our emphatic contra
diction of that mischievous article:
VIRGINIA DAILY UNION: An article I'M
der the above caption appeared in last even
ing's PiRe, which, for the quietude OF our
city, consider needs contradiction. It Is,
indeed. singular that paper which processes
LOYALTY should become such an alarmist, or
publish statements without knowing Of their
truth or falsity. At the request of Gen.
Hoyey, /, with the other Captains, was pres
emit az meeting held at the office of our
worthy Mayor, on Friday evening last, where
the Governor met US and inquired into the
condition of our companies. l was the last
Captain to leave the room, and heard all
Questions which were asked, and will here
positively deny the truth Of every statement
made BY the PilRs in that article. The Gov
ernor never intimated that he expected any
Miners League mob on election day, nor
asked if we would turn out on that day; and
viii venture the opinion (which, however,
is no Yenture) that we shall have no such
mob violence, unless it is the Pil9e's desire
to incite one by making such false state
ments as are contained in that article. The
miners are a peaeeable class Of citizens,
maintaining their rights, and are too sensible
a class to be melted to mob violence by any
such articles.
have the authority of Captain Ryan for
stating that his company hGre not disbGaded

day next.
trust it is not the desire Of that paper to
" aid and comfort" rebels by preventing the
militia from becoming proficient in the man
usl of arms Now, in the time Of our coun-
try's trials, if We cannot aid her in her bat
ties, We should at least become proficient in
military tactics, that, in case Of need, we
may be ready for any emergency. Hoping
that the PitRe may procure reliable IN

discourage the militia, am, very respect
