| VIRGINIA SENAToR.-We had hoped this week to be
enabled announce the reelection of Mr.. RIvEs to
the U. S. Senate from the Ancient Dominion but are
disappointed. We fear the three or four pracsicobls

constructed, have manifold more causes for eraus'

providence has thrown into their way and in spite OF
tho disrust Of the ignorant and the hostility OF others
