THE RESULT IN VIRGINIA.

THE RESULT in VIRGINIA.
We copy from the last Richmond Enquirer the
following statement of the resu, in Virginia:
"Grayson county elects to the House, VIM. C.
Parks (Dem.) by l9 majority over John Dickinson
and gives to Johnson $40, and to Summers 3O9-be-
ing majority of 81 to Johnson instead of majority
for Summers, as previously reported. The Republi-
can reports Boone county as giving 81 majority to
Summers. Correcting our table, and estimating the
vote Of Prince William at $50 majority for Johnson.
and Westmoreland at 100 majority for Summers
liberal enough to Summers in both cases-we make
Johnson's majority in the whole State, $500. The
official returns may carry it up to seven thousand.
The Senate will consist of 81 Democ ats and I6
Whigs-and the House of 81 Democrats and IS
Whigs-democratic majority joint ballot, forty.
In Smyth county, Preston. (Whig,) receives the re-
turn, in consequence of the commissioners at Dem
ocratic precinct, whose vote would have elected
Grieyes, (Dem) having failed, within the five days
to sign and certify the polls there.'' . i
The last Examiner says:
MI. Joseph Johnson, the Governor elect of this
Commonwealth, has arrived in this city and taken
lodgings at the Exchange Hotel. We understand
that this distinguished gentleman is in fine health
and excellent spirits; and that he has received the
congratulations Of many citizens. His term of Office
by the election of the Legislature during last winters
session, will commence on next Thursday. On tha
day he will be installed by taking the oath beote any
Justice OF the Peace Not until the Legislature meets
and the vote of the State is announced will bis
by popular election commence. At that time he viii
be installed by taking the oath again in the presence
of the two Houses Of Legislature.''

SLAVERY IN CALIFORNIA.

SLAVERY in CALlFORNlA.
The last news from California shows that the dis
cusson about the division of the State and the intro
duction of slavery, is becoming more and more ami.
mated, and may in fact be considered the great topic
of the times. The San Francisco Herald of the 18th
ult in the course of long article deprecating excl
ted and angry discussion in the subject of introducing
slavery, makes the following interesting statement
"It may startle those who happen to be nervous on
this subject to be informed that slavery now exists
and has always existed in California since the adop
ton Of the constitution. In the mining counties and
even in San Francisco, there are maay slaves, and
yet there is no manifest arrangement of public mo-
rails in consequence, do the people generally seem
to give themselves much anxiety the subject. There
is attempt to incite the slaves to runaway, and
they themselves, catching the healthy tone of public
sentiment, entertain thought Of such thing.
We know some of them whose earnings amount to as
much as the pay of post captain in the navy; and
who purchase their freedom at any time, but are
perfectly content with their present condition. These
facts 60 to prove that it will be difficult, without per-
severng agitation, to generate bgotry in the minds
of the people of California the slavery question
to convert it into element OF dscord and such per-
seyeIng agitation We hope never to see"

ENGINE MADE IN RALEIGH. We had the pleasure,
a few days ago. to inspect new stationary Engine
at the :. Novelty Iron Works of Sas Burns Esq,
in this city. for the Saw Mill OF Messrs' tockaart
& Jones, Of Johnston county. 1t is a thirty-6ve
horsepower Engine; was planned and drafted by
Mr.. Bruce, the accomplished machinst who super.
intends the works; and was executed by workman
from New Ark, who received a premium fot piece
of his mechanism exhibited at the Worlds Fair in
London. more substantially built, accurately pro-
portioned, finely finished work Of the kind, we ven-
ture to say, be found in any of the Northern
establishments and the best of all is. this entire
machine boiler and all. were made in Raleigh, through
the enterprise of enlightened and patriotic fellow
citizen, Sias Burns, and at lou cost it could
have been done at the North. We are glad to learn
that business is pouring in upon Nh. Burns. He
has demonstrated, as Sam Patch used to say, that
some things can be done well as others - and
none Of our people will be disposed to 60 to THE
North for any thing in his line, after they see wha'
he Is doing. Raleigh Star.

NEW PARTIES.

Gov. Call of Florida. proposes to break up exist
ing parties and form new one upon the Union prin-
oiple. Gov. Call and this Union humbue are thus
disposed of by the Fredericksburg News, Whig
paper: 49, :, -"
"PARTIEs. Gov. Call of Florida proposes to break
up the present parties Of the country and form new
ones upon Union principles !; Mr.. Toombs of Georgia
has been elected to the u, S. Senate upon similar
propositions. We cannot say that we understand
the intentions Of these gentlemen. What is meant
by Union party! Is it their design to build up a
party which is Union under all circumstances Or
is it intended to form Union party upon the present
issues 1t the former We presume there will be few
enough to unite themselves to such party. If the
latter. there will be still fewer who would not viii.
lingly become members of party thus organized.
There are not ten prominent men in the United
States who are not tor the Union under existing cir
cumstances. Mr. Rhett of South Carolina is the on
ly member of Congress who has openly avowed dis.
union at the present time. He declares that as an
abstract question he wishes at to dissolve the
confederacy. But who are Mr.. -Rkett's followers
What number has he now in even South Carolina
who will sustain him in scheme so mad
We have yet to learn the material difference Of
principle between Southern Wings and Democrats.
They are all for the Union. To be raising new
party upon issues which are not made by Corporas
guard of intelligent freemen. is the double distilled
essences of humbuggery. These men who are all
the time believing for the Union are the greatest
enemies the Union has. They act as if there was a
formidable party III the country who were opposed 10
it-that it was in imminent peril, and that unless
something was done to save it, it would tumble at
once over their heads. And what do facts prove!
In South Carolina where there is not press which
does not advocate dsunon-where almost every lead
ing man in the State has been speaking and agating
in every form and way he could-where the over
whelming influence of Mr.. Calhoun was felt beyond
the inf of any other name in any other State of
the Union, notwithstanding these influences. South
Carolina in her late popular vote has declared for the
Union, and will hereafter. if the late compromise is
adhered 10, be as firmly fixed in her attachments as
| Virginia herself.
| Messrs. Toombs and Call are moonstruck, or they
have some other motive than the one which appears
upon the surface. They are smelling after the flesh
pots-which they can only taste by some popula,
move like this. When they can satisfy the public
that the Union is in danger-that respectable pa ty
can be found any one State, who are for its dsso
luton, then we may join them. But such not being
the case now. we must beg 10 be excused from lend
ing countenance at this time to proposition 81
absurd"

At o'clock he proceeded to the magnificent sal

to its utmost capacity the spacious galleries, which
are over seven hundred feet long, being filed

with the American and Hungarian flags, had been
erected at one end of the hall, on which Kossuth,
the Governor of Maryland, and the Committee OF
