 1asarrectioa tn Krgiaia.-Our readers ar6 referred account most horrible conspiracies among the dawes of vrg- mia which has taken place for many years. Already tt will be seen have large number of lives been sac- rifced by the vengeance of these deaded creatures The militia and other troops have been called upon, and by the latest accounts were proceeding to the scene ot action. But we apprehend, before tlse it- surrcction shall be quelled, many more of the white population will fall victims. That the slaves will how ever be speedily sobdued, cannot for a momen, he d"ubted-and the executions which will then follow make the heart sicken at the thought.
 .Lghtniag-On Friday afternoon fast, about five o'clock, we were visited by one of the severes, t,n der storms known in this climate. house in Spen- cer street, owned by Mir. s. Spencer, Tand occupied by Mir. Derrick Sanford, was struck by ligh,ning.- The fluid appears to have struck on one side of the chimney-ths principal part descended upon the roof thence down upon the side of the house, tearing off the shingles and capboards to considerable extent Around the chimney the inside also, from tho root to the cear are numerous of the lightning but nothing was scorched. Fortunately Mrs. s. had, on the coming up ct she storm, gone into neighbor's house, otherwise t s scarcely possible she could have escaped the effects of the lightning. The chimney of house in the neshborlood fell immediately after tn. storm, oeeasioned probably by the jarring from ,h, lightning. During the same storm, barn of Mrs. 1T. Grant about miles northeast of this village was struck by lightning, and consumed, together with IS or 20 ions of hay. young had taken shelter ilA shed adjoining, who was somewhat stunned, but soon re- covered.
 kemtacky Eiection.-Mors InlI returns from this state confirm the statement we made last week, iha, ss Clay and seuen Jackson men are elected to Con- gress-beng gain of three from the last Congress in favor of Mr. Clay. In the Legislature, it is conceded on all hands that the Clay parry will have small a- ory in joint baoi sufficient 10 secure the election of Senator to Congress.
 From Tennessee, we arc sorry to learn that tho f. nous David Crockett is defeated in his election to Congress-A Mr. Fitzgerald succeeds him. Jacob c. Isacks has also los. his election. These two mon would not hurrah" enough for Jackson.
 Alabama.-In the southern district. Mir. Lewis is probably re-elected bu. in the middle distriot Sam uel w. Mardis has beaten Mir Baylor by large ,na- jority. MT. B. was suspected of Clayism.
 In Illinois, Gen. Duncan. and in Missonri. Mr. Petis are reelected. or course both lhoss States are represented by Jackson men only.
 Ia Indiana, Gen. Noai, Noble (Ciay) s elected Co., vernor-and two out of inc .hrec Representatives to Congress believed 10 be friends of Clay, although full returns are not yet in.
 In Virgiia, there is now no doubt of tIe election of Mir. Newton by handsome majority over the late member, Mr. Loyall.
 On the whoe-ihe western elections have not pro. ved so favorable to tho WESTERN STATESMAN as we had wished had reason expect. That the elec- iorai vote of Kentucky, Indiana, and several of the other western states will be given so Mr. Clay should hc coatinOe to be candidate, there can however be no reasonable doubt. But we did hope that in the recent elections the friends of Mr. Clay would suc- ceed by such majority would leave the Jacksoni- ans not even ca loop to hang doubt upon."
