VIRGINIA ELECTION RETURNS.

VIRGINIA ELECTION RETURNS.
THIRTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
To the f iitors .! the Enquirer:
WYruEvILLE, June ?, 1857.
Gsntlemsn-t hasten ~ give you the latest snc
mort reliable, and, | suppose may add, correct
account of the result of Congressional election
The friends Of lodge Hopkins we're very sanguine
of his election yesterday; but The county OF Carroll
which, from first report, gave Hopkins, Democrat
300 majority, has given Martin DisributonIst II ma
arity. Such being the Martins majority in the
District will be near $50. We regret exceedingly the
defeat of the judge but the aspIrauts in the disric
land their name lie legion,) generally for Mar
tin, and the Democracy considering ihs election o
Judge Hopkins certain, made no effort; aud hence
an unexpected defeat.
You must not supp 'ss that the Democracy of "Lit
tie Tennessee number less than in the Gubernato
rial and Presidential campaigns They still nu
merous and powerful, and will ever do Hsrcul-an
labor, when properly aroused. WfrHr.

So that Edmunds and Howerton are returned 10
the next House of Delegates.
For the Senate, Logan beats Johnson. 1t is due,
however, to the last named gentleman, to state that
he did not ami could not participate scarcely at all in
the canvass, having been broug ht into it at very
late day by his friends while Mr.. Logan was An.
nOunced independently ut March Court, as well as
recommended by caucus. Dr.. Johnson was una
BILE to attend but one appointment for the candidates
10 the county, and from that returned home sick, and
was confined to bed OF illness almost up to the very
hour of election; his competitor in the mean time,
being actively and laboriously engaged in the can.
vass. An appointment on the South of Dan River 1.-THE
most Democratic portion Of Halifax being the only
appointment which DR.. Johnson could attend, it WAS
ql:te a compliment to him that every precinct in
that part Of the county should have given him ma

Gentlemen The election passed OF quietly at

House. that he made favorable impression on the
minds Uf the sovereign people at their April Court
And indeed, to judge from the applause which MIR.
Collier received from his Know Nothing and Distri-

than surprised at the Small number of votes
he received. But his Know Nothing and Distribu-

rather "wshy -washy" politician, and that it was bet.
ter in them to remain at home than cast their votes
for him, although he had avowed himself in favor of
distribution and had extoed his Know knOtning
friends to the third Heavens. Yet he has been repu
dated aye,repudated with vengeance by those from
whom he had right to receive strong support.
We have not yet the full vote Of the county, but,
from information received we may safely cay that
Mr.. Goodies majority is not less than 100 votes.
