THE ELECTIONS IN VIRGINIA.

1t is Idle to despond, but WE ARE
BEATEN IN VIRGINIA. We have
lost the House Of Delegates. We still
retain the Senate. After making eve
ry allowance for the exaggerated ac-
counts which rumor has waited to our
ears, and after the most favorable es-
Inmates OF all the remaining counties,
we admit at once that the Wings have
carried the House by al least ten or
twelve majority, perhaps from twelve
to sixteen. They may even have as
great majority in the next House OF
Delegates us we had in the last. They
can already count up forty. eight, and
counting Franklin, fifty Delegates,
which they have won, to twenty.slx OF
our own.
Allowing the counties which arc to
come in to be the same as they were
last year, and we should get about
thirty delegates to their twenty.
one. This estimate would give them
in the House seventy -one-and the
Republican party Admin. sixty three.
But as some of the same causes may
be fairly expected to operate upon the
residuary counties as have shed their
mallgn influence upon the others, tho
not III the same proportion, we ought
to allow heavier majority to the
Wings than the above estimate ascrlbes
to them. We would now cheerfully
compromise for a majority of ten or
twelve.
Though we may no, have strength
enough, on joint ballot, to prevent the
election of Wing Senator to the
Congress of the United States, yet the
Senate is strong enough to checkmaie
the political maneuvres Of the Wings
In the Honse.
We mean not to disguise the truth.
We wish to conceal no fact, however
unpleasant to us, or TO break off the
force of the shock by any sophisticnl
CLOSES or pulling complaints. We
therefore declare the following to be
the state Of the game We have lost
two delegates in Albemarlc, one most
probably in Allegheny, one in Amelia,
one in Amherst, one in Brunswick,
two in Buckingham, two in Campbell,
one in Charles city and New Kent, one
IN Culpeper, one IN Fairfax, two in

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

The contest which has just closed,
though animated in some of the coun-
ties, has been generally free from much
of the asperiiy which heretofore atten.
deG the struggles between the rival
parties. The writer of this had no
opportunity of participating in any oil
the scenes, except to give his vote
quietly at the City Hall but he is in.
formed by gentlemen who attended the
Henrico election, that the canvass was
conducted in a style credltable tc The
Virginia character. Men seemed TO
be nctuated more by solemn convic-
ton Of duty, than by any mere party
impulse. Indeed, the course OF affairs
for the last ten years is well calculated
10 awaken reflection, and to cause
good citizens to discharge the elective
privilege with a proper sense OF It's
solcmnity. To see a country lost or
saved, is no ordinary spectacle; and
even in Withdrawing her from the pre-
cipice, there is much to make the heart
throb and the pulse tremble.
We thought ut one time that Virgin
IN meant to have no part in the rescue
but we believe the pride Ct other days
is aroused, and she, too, means to wear
the guerdon of the victor. 1t thrills
the soul to see our good old mother
taking rank with her sisters, and join.
ing the general voice which is raised
to check the career Of the oppressor.
We will not believe the foul insinua-
ton, {even though made by a prophet,)
that in another year she is TO sink lack
into the degraded condition of Il minion
Of power. The conviction which has
operated upon her, though slow in
maturing, will be permanent aud un-
changeable. No longer does stupi-
tying idolatry bind down herffee spirit.
She now breathes a renovating air,
and she will continue in the path Of
rectitude and honor.

in the residuary counties. But we

yesterday, going down Wall street to

peering and peeping from his coat
pocket while he stopped to gaze at the
numerous carlcatures near the new
Custom House. A well dressed rogue
came up behind him quietly, and while
winklng and smiling 10 the mob, and
inviting them by signs to look at n
neat trick, he slipped the bank book
out of the pocket oftho clerk, took out
the notes, AID returned the book to the
pocket, without disturbing the clerk,
who was still gazing at the pictures.
The bystanders, believing him to be
an intimate friend of the clerk, were
highly tickled at the trick, and laughed
and chuckled at the anticipated sur
prise Of the clerk. The rogue walked
slowly ahead, turned smIllngly to the
crowd, put his finger on his lips to
enlnin silence, and actually disappear.

of racing. so cCmincn on the Western Waters,

Of human life, than any pestieuce, except the

this practice, dangerous to the public, should be
put down by the strong arm Of the law. Con.

upon which occ asion, the impressive and solemn
service Of the Episcopal church was read by the

pre- ached by the Rev MIR. Sehon Of the Methodist
church. The shops and stores OF the city were
closed. and the whole population turned ont, en-
masse, 10 attend the unfortunate sufferers to the
house appointed for all the living. The scene is
represented as having been affecting and solemn
in the extreme; Tot word was spoken by the
immense concourse, as sad and silent, it followed
TO the tomb those who had been so suddenly be-
reft Of life. II was sight that drew tears from
