VIRGINIA ELECTION Il eSterday the
State election in this staunch old :'demo-
cratic" State look place, and in thirty
Gays at nost we shalt have the full result.
The battle at last accounts was raging
furiousiy. IT'S the last plank Of the
administration raft--thc last stay of It's
desperate fortunes That magnificent
array Of States that hailed the rising star
Of Franklin Pierce, and swelled his clec-
torai vote beyond the needed point, has
become detached from his interests, and
he is now blindly plunging on in his IN
certain policy, without a true influential
friend, Or any hope of better issue
Virginia nominated him in the national
convention, and is the last state to desert
him, but even this traditionally obedicnt
Sjate--this ultiring worshipper Of "dem-
ocratic" glory and consistency, eyinces
unmistaEable signs Of contemptuous descr-
ton But the administration is not letting
The case GO by default In The use Of
corruption, and intervention in the State
elections the administration has never been
feeble. In ovc.y state from Massachu-
satts TO Calito. g " the bolstering up
Of Gushing to N., ierce and his en-
nissaries have a, ed zeal that they
have shown in n, more worthy fields, and
The prestige they have LOST in scandalous
neglect Of legitimate duties they have
iaborod to gain by equally scandalous
methods IL tampering with State rights.
True 10 their policy, the agents of the
administration are now 1T work in the Old
Dominion The employees Of the govern
ncnt in the various navy yards and depots
arc threatened with discharge if they dc
net vote the democratic" ticket. Doug
lass, the demagogue, the Virginia senators,
Young, aG onne genus, are there-the
Union is lugubliously calling on The state
to save the administration, while Wise is
in every part of the state, furious as q
madman at TIE darkening prospect, and
dealing out vengeance and slaughter against
ali cpposers. Poor Wise! He deserves
q better fate \ brighter genius never
carncd in his native state, but it IS I
genius prostituted to affectation. Instead
of manly attitude in the consciousness
&c his great original powers, he has been
ambitious of the fame Of q Randolph, and
while aping his eccentricitics, be has
never attained his intensity Two such
men the same age cannot produce. One
may shine by his singuiarity, but his sue
cessor treads beaten track, and has IA.
gloss Of novelty. But Wise is ,lot Ran
dolph, aud his cxcGntricities are simulated.
The indications Of the result Of the
general election in Virginia may be drawn
from the first preceding local elections for
instance, Richmond, Portsmouth, Alex
andria, Lynchburg, Morgantown, &c,
have given Sam large majorities. The
result in the State is not even doubtful, in
spite Of the frantic efforts Of Wise, Doug
lass and the administration The rebuke
Of Virginia to the administration is the
heaviest blow yet dealt to it.

4 COURAGEOUS CHINAMAN.-So many
instances of brutality and fendish cruelty
practised upon Cinnamon in the mines
have come to our notice Of late, we can
hardly bring ourselves to express any re-
gret at the termination of an affair which
the CalaVeras Chronicle records. A bru-
tai attack was made by three men on a
Chinaman living near Greasertown, few
days ago. They had asked John for
water, and while he was in the act Of get
ting it for them, one of the party, named
VIM. Link, drew pistol and fred at
him, the ball inficting slight wound in
the left wrist. John instantly dropped
the cup, drew revolver and shot Link
dead. His comrades fled The China
man was arrested, and after hearing Of
the case, acquitted.-EUe Jour.

INs AND OUTs.-An amusing scene oc-
cured on morning the past week in FROM
of the United States Hotel between the
agents of the rival Forest city stage lines.
Both stages were at the door at the same
time, when first agent says to passenger
IN the others stage-thc only one, by the
way, in either stage-"Whatf fare are you
paying in that stage: - Ans. Give dol
lars"
lst agcnt-I'll carry you for four"
Passenger thinks he can't make a dol
lar cheaper, and gets out of the stage in
10 the other.
I'd agent-'I'll carry you for three"
Passenger gets back again.
lst agent-"I'll take you up for two
dollars"
Passenger again gets into the accommo-
dating agents stage.
ID agent-(not to be bcat) "I'll take
you for one"
Passenger again changes
lst agent--"WelI, old fellow, get in
mere and III carry you for nothing, pay
for your dinner, and all the whiskey you'll
drink"
1st agent drives off triumphantly with
his passenger, who had only got in and
out six times, at dollar each time.

IMMENSE SI1DE.--We learn from Mr.. Chas.
r. Hail. recently from the scene, the partic-
ulars Of the great land slide, at Badger Hill,
about one ard half miles from Patterson

is about one and half miles in height. Two
ravines run up from the river, distant from
each other about LIS yards, with high point
Of land between them. at this point the mid
de Yuba makes bend and for q long time
has been wearing away the base Of the point
between the ravnes. On Thursday afternoon
last the point slid into the river, from half q
mile up the bluff down to the waters edge
kept their perpendicular position, and such was
the force OF the slide, that the earth went clear
across the river, and damned it up SO that per
sons crossed dry shod for twenty-four hours af
terwards. The trees stood upright in the midst
Of the dam till the rise of the water carried
away the earth, and they now lie in the bed of
the stream. A lake five miles in length up the
river was formed the water gradually increas-
ing in volume till it burst the unusual barrier.
The river is here about IS yards across The
hoom of the San Juan ditch ran across the
place where the slide occurred, and about zoo
yards Of it were carried off The scene is re
presented as having been terribly subime--thc
