The peoples" Committee having
adopted the "rule or ruin" policy, and
rejected all oyertures tending to the con-
solidation of all the Union forces, and,
thereby, the assurance of success, all hopes
of compromise are at an end. The race
is to be scrub one. The hymn of the
ancient Covenanters declared that:
aye race Is notte forever gotte
By hym who fastest runnes,
Nor ye batiel by ye peepel
That shoot with We longest gunnes."
The Old Coyenanters, however, are
PLAYED out in these latter days, and the
more modern motto that "the longest
pole knocks the persimmons" has been
adopted by the people of Storey County.
The following proceedings of the Com
mittees of the warning factions tell the
whole story:
The Union Central Committee met last
evening, pursuant to call Of the Chairman.
Present-Messrs. Tucker, Peasley, Birdsall,
Vandewater, Beckwith, Lee and Phelan.-
The Chairman stated the object of the meet
ing. On motion, the following commune
