City, Lyon county, State of Nevada,
October 18th, 1864. a
Last Wednesday evening, after much bragg
gadocia Of what the Constitutional Democrats
of (Storey county, Lyon county were goingto
do, the momentous event came off. Ataoout
Z o'clock p. NJ, an omnibus, containing tit-
teen men, drew up at the celebrated Angels
Headquarters. Single men dropped in occa-
sionally, until the delegation from Storey
county had amounted to about 1000, 500 in
dividuals. All the gentlemanly(0 roughs,
cut-throats, thieves, murderers, highwaymen,
gamblers and traitors Of Virginia City ESQ
celebrated at the Constitutional Democratic
Broom-Ranger Headquarters as Of the first
water) were present. Among these we rec
ognized some who have in time aforetime
been particularly honoredG) BY an apprecia-
cifer, who came very nigh being exalted to a
very high and conspicuous position, although
he very modestly declined such an exalta-
tion.. Larry Murray, another celebrated
gentleman(?), was also honored by the good
citizens Of Esmeralda with an invitation to
90 on q mission for their especial benefit,
we recognized the pussy proportions Of Old
Rufe Arick, very talented gentleman, who
has the Janus-like faculty Tor thinks he has)
of carrying water on both shoulders; Judge
Robt. Taylor, but what he is judge OF
would puzzle the seven wise men of Gotham,
unless it be of whisky. an article he has in
times aforetime sampled enough Of to qualify
him to become most excellent judge; Col.
Hungerford, late of Downieville, Sierra
county, CAL, and later still from the Army
of the Potomac under "Littul Mac" where
his patriotic services were so conspicuous as
to have merited the same reward as his noble
commander; and several other equally pa
triotic citizens, too numerous to mention, as
the handbills have it.
After considerable delay the meeting was
opened by the celebrated Hon. j. F. Angel
OF Silver City, being called to the chair, when
he introduced to the Snaix" present, Judge
K. H. TAYLOR, who, from the remarks he
made, must have been doing duty Sampling
"tangle foot" us his speech was a confused
tissue of love for his dear Union, Little Mac,
etc., interspersed with assertions, which
might have been put up as lies, but his
known yeracity forhids, and therefore must
be put down as alterations OF memory-after
him followed Judge Pitzer, who is so cele-
brated for legal lore, that he ought to have
been long since on the Supreme Bench Of
California, lat least in his own estimation,)
but who for some reason has been overlooked
by his fellow citizens, possibly for some very
good reason. Gov. Geo. NJ. Beebe then hiss
ed out his venom. mighty small affair by
bye, as he will find to his cost on Nov.
! Sth, proximo. H. X. Mitchell, snake Of
small dimensions and the valiant Col. Hun
gerford, who so gallantly left his fellow SOL
ders on the Potomac to do duty for the dear
citizens of Nevada, and for the especial bene-
fit Of the sacred duty Of protecting his dear
carcass. After much kissing, shouting and
twaddle about their love of the dear Union,
the gathering was reinforced by another
large detachment Of II patriotic snaix, from
| Virginia city, bearing torches.
| On passing the armory of the Sheridan
Artillery, several snaiX Kissed out their Cop
perhead venom at the gallant guard Of men,
(who were on duty as it was their regular
drill mighty to show their appreciation Of their
patriotism.
After much more ribaldry, the rodeo final
~ broke up, and formed in a very irregular
and tuIr ultuous manner. Every one talk
ing, shouting and acting on his own hook.
Larry Murray, their chief snake, assisted by
| w III. OlUueClleI,
shouting their orders to no effect, but to
make " confusion worse confounded." After
considerable delay, they did at last, succeed
in wrigGlng up to Gold Hill, were the last
heard of them, they ran across several Of
Uncle Abe's reserves, at whom they Kissed
out cheers for Little Mac" etc., who in
continentally commenced to scotch" the
snaix.
Now for the effect Of this rodeo, on sum-
ming up-converts tU "Littulmac," none; to
Lincoln and Johnson" one; it occurred in
this wise: The Constitutional Democrats,
true TO their proclivitiesr could not keep their
hands off of the tempting booty Of certain
son of Israel, we'll known here as A. Cohen,
a dealer in fruit, pipes, etc. On arriving home
| he discovered that n party of his woud-oe
friends had paid him visit Of professional
ceremony, and had made forced loan upon
him Of some $500 to $500. Lifting up his
! eyes in agony, he thus apostrophized-"G God
Of Abraham, adjurc thee to visit upon these
unholy and thievish traitors, and sons of Be-
| lial, thy direst punishment. Colt in Himmel I!
have I not been good citizen to mine
country. therefore call upon thee to bear
witness, that will vote an open ticket, even
the ticket of Lincoln and Johnson, on next
election day. So mote it be !"
| 1hls Is the sole erect OF TINS rOueo' II was
the best Union meeting held here, as it has
opened the eyes, certain, Of one poor deluded
Secesh-who, since he has had his eyes
opened to his enormity, declares that he is
"as goot Union man as any one" or any
other man.
But, to talk soberly, the new traitor sheet,
the daily Constitution, has sneer against
the Home Guard Of Silver City. Now we
have this only to say to Caxton, and all OF
his kind, that our intention about the use Of
those "loaded muskets and howitzer Of grape
and canister is not to curtail any right they
may have as honest citizens, but only to pro-
tect our property from known thieves, cut
threats, murdercrs and escaped convicts; and
il they come within the limits Of our quiet
and respectable town, they must conduct
themselves as good and respectable citizens,
or else take the consequences, as we are de-
termined that neither theft, murder, or arson,
shall go UNPUBLISHED. We know our rights.
and knowing them, dare protect them. And
| il they think that we are soldiers OF the
stamp of George B. Mcclellan, they have
only to try it on, to find out their mistake.
