The Annual Election In the Old Dominion
days in any County where thevot are prevented
by rain or high water from reaching the Pots on
the regular day. Judging from the bright skies
here however, and the dry weather for weeks pre-
,cedlng, we infer that the polls were every where
closed last evening.
The Wings 90 into this Election under many
disadvantages. They chose but GO 10 II Delegates
last year, and in the Senate there is fixed ma
jority against them of Members who hold over
And yet our friends are quite confident of carry
ing the House at least, and even hope to over
balance the Senate in Joint Ballot. We are not
at all sangune. There is much venerable Anti
Tariff prejudice in Virginia, and the Wings have
never universally combatcd it with directness and
freedom till now. We have not doubt that
as Virginia is in her interests she soon will be in
her feelings, decided Tariff State but her people
are slow to change opinions or attitudes. Then
the Bank question is more bugbear in Virginia
than elsewhere; and Richie (whosc paper pcne
tfates to every ncighborhood in the State and
generally rules it, is plying the Annexation of
Texas with all his might, and doing his utmost
to create Slave-holdlng excitement in its favor.
We shall be disappointed ifall these questions do
not operate, in the absence Of any thorough Wing
organization, to retain the State in the grasp Of
Loco. Focosm.
The two Congressional Elections will excite
most immediate interest. In the Accomac Dis
irict late Wise's) Hill Carter is the Wing candi-
date, opposed by Gen. Bayly, (Tyler) with the
chances rather in favor of the latter. In the
Abemarle District. Qate Gilmer's) Hon. VIM.
L. Goggin is the Wing candidate, opposed by
Gen. VIM. F. Gordon, (Calhoan.) Believing
that Mr. Goggin was fairly elected year ago,
we most ardently hope for his success now.-We
cannot guess what the result will be on the East
crn Shore but if Hill Cater is the right Wing
candidate, he will be elected
We have made arrangements to obtain early
returns of this Election, which will duly be laid
before our readers.
ALBANY BoArs.-We were in error yesterday in
SAYING the Albany had not been fitted up with State
Rooms for Night Beat. She has been so fitted
up, as was right, and they are among the largest
and most commSdous on the River. OF course,
there is no better Nisht-Boat than the Albany.
We trust the other matter of which we
spoke-Eenriladon-wi attract the attention OF all
our Steamboat proprietors. Ii is not enough that
the cabin in which TO four hundred persons are
10 sleep should have tube or even open sky
light-tn needs large windows astern so that the foul
air which draws thiher with the motion OF the boat
shall escape, not accumulate. Breathing is mat
Ter OF some consequence and the same air does not
answer a third or fourth time without some little
renovation.
