The TEL EGRAPHERs' STRIKE-A FLAG OF
TRucE.-So far as this district is concerned,
the tclegraphers' strike may be pronounced
at an end, and it has resulted in the over
throw of the position taken by the strikers,
without any compromise on the part Of the
company. Yesterday afternoon the Rich
mond operators gave in, and then, as the
news few along the line, the rebels laid
down their arms almost as rapidly as the
engagement had become general. Peters
burg, Portsmouth, Norfolk, Charlottesville,
Staunton, and Enfield, and other offices,
knocked under in quick succession, and Mr..
Dowell, the superintendent, expressed the
belief that by this morning the whole dis
trict will be re6rganized. So far, the
strikers, when their services were needed,
have been reInstated without their asking
any conditions.
1t is evident that deception has been
practiccd upon the operators in this section.
and that they have been made the dupes OF
designing men in the North and West. The
correspondence published in the New York
papers which reached here yesterday shows
that the officers of the company in New
York stated positively to the representa-
tives strikers that no reduction OF salaries
had been contemplated, and that the men
discharged in San Francisco were dis
charged only because their services were
not needed.
