r..-;.h.,.nanv the facs thai Mr.. Letcher has
h.so elected By the Freesol vote ct the Nossn~est
hi. remarkable fact that Mr.. Goxg'n has car
I'D a uaiorssy eftae Congressional O'str'ets q
n. S,,t., We are also Of the impression that
n. has carried majority Of the counties ~ -
m ...,,. the difference in Mr. Letcher's favor, II
.ny. is very trifing.
In the First District, where Gsrnetf' pemoe'"'
/. elec,ed to Congress without opposition "ogs'h
majority is 6s7. .;.u;.u :.
$685. according to the Official returns m'iiso"'
Democrat, had no opposition for Congress.
i. the Third District Goggin has majority OF
$50. notwithstanding the large number Of citizens
s.aasfsasrsd in the city Of Richmond few weeks
before the election. Gogsin gains in tins p's'f'c'
47a votes ever rlournoy. The regular Democrat
10 nominee for Congress, Judge Cask'c is defeat
ed by De;arnette, Independent Democratic Amer
ic&n.
Tn IN. rihh District four own) Goggin has
majority Of l3i. He has majority j" every
county except Appomatox, Halifax and Patrick
H. gains SAG upon Mr.. Flournoy's vote IN %.
Bocock-who has life estate in seat IN Con
grcs. from this Dstrict--is reelected without 'l-
position. ,.,
Tn tbe Sixth Distrct-the District IN which
Mr. f;orein himself residcs-he has majority oil
922 and gain upon Fiournoy OF l2l'. ih's IS
the District Mr.. Goggn formerly represented IN
Congress.
In the Twelfth District, official and unofficial
returns show n majority for Gosgin OF %. lhis
is a very large District, territor'ally- and Mr.
Goggin, If he could have canvassed IT. would have
carried it by large majority. Col Edmund
son reelected to Congress without opposition.
In the Thirteenth District Goggin has mayor
inv Of 550--a gain of "p@ards q io"r mo"sd"d
votes upon Flournoy. In this heretofore strong
Democratic District, the Independent candidate
for Congress has defeated the Democrats nominee
by decisive majority.
Thus i, will he seen that Mr.. Goggn has chr
ried seven out Of the Thirteen Congressional p--
tri,ts of the State Besides this he has reduced
the majority in Goodies District more than one
thousand, and in Leteher's Old District upwards
oil four hundred
Wonder what sort Of victory it is that the De
mocracy propose celebrating in this city next Sat
urdsy!
We have lost only in tho semi. Abolition coun-
ties Of the West aud Northwast, and in Smith :
and Faulkner Districts. where we had regular
Wing candidates for Congress But, asa conso.
lalion for our loss in this respect, we have eAfe'
ed from Congress the most obnoxious man to TIE
Wings of Virginia TINT ever sat in that bpdy-thc
notorious renegade Charles Jamos Faulknrr-and
we have substituted in his place that gallant. tal,
epted. aud hghsonled Whig-thc Hon. Alexan-
der K. Boteler.
We have defeated four of the regular Democrat
ic nominees for Congress- and We have made heat
w gains in beth the Senate and the House Of
Delegates. Now, then, If the Democracy can find
anything in these circumstances to rejoice over
next Saturday, they are welcome to it. We are
OF opiuiun however. that their celebration will re-
mind one of the painful spectacle of n man
laughing upon the wrong side Of his mouth.
We have gained all If victory EXCEPT an actual
majority. Take out tho Frecsoilers- who, the
New York Evening Post tells us. and no Doubt
truely. hold the balance Of power in the State
and Mr. Goggin is elected by handsome mniori
ty. Or, even surprising that the Frcesoilers are
not counted-we may take ont the foreign vote
alone, and Mr.. Goggin is undoubtedly elected.
The Freesoilersi in Virginia are natives of Penn
sylvania and the New England States, and tie TO-
reigncrs are natives, mostly, of Ireland and Ger
many. 1t ia evident that of aatire born Tirg6a-
ians Mr., Goggin had a LARGE MAJORITY in
the election that has just passed
We repeat then, that if the Democracy can
End anything to rejoice over in the results Of the
late election they are, for part, most heartily
welcome to it.
Washington Rumors,
We take from the Washington States the lollow.
