SUICIDE OF A LADY.-The Burling-
ton Hawk-Eye of the goth ult., says
We were panied yesterday to learn
Of the suicide of an cstimable young
lady, Miss Emily McPherrin. She
was about 10 years of age and an ex-
emplary member Of the Methodist
Church. For the last three or four
weeks she had been responding, and
from the fact that she made an unsuc-
cessful effort to drown herself two
weeks ago, was supposed to be OF un-
sound mind and had been watched.
Her friends thought it best to have
her visit, and it was the intention to
send her to Pennsylvania next week,
where it was hoped her malady would
yield by contact with early scenes in
the society of friends and relatives
In the meantime she was staying a,
the house of Mr.. Baily, on the North
Public Square. About 9 o'clock, yes.
terdsy morning, she was observed uF
stairs sewing. Soon afterwards he'
body was found suspended by strips o
cotton cloth, near the landing of thu
stairs. The body was yet warm. bn
life extinct. The verdict Of the Coro
ner's Jury was in accordance with th'
above.
Four years ago an elder sister, un
der very similar circumstances, com
mitted suicide by shooting herself.

election OF Governor.

The returps of the election on Thursday last
show large gains for the Opposition, over the
,ota If 1856. and the result Il still in doubt
The Richmond Examiner (Democratic) OF yes
terdsy sums up the losses and gains in 50 conn-
ties, as reported, showing net gain for Goggln
Of 4.a9S. The Richmond Wing of the same
date, on the other hand, says that in III coun-
ties Letcher leads Goggin 414, leaving ~ coun-
ties to be heard from. Telegraphic dispatches
from Richmond on yesterday were still more IA
yorable to the election of Goggin, but we await
fn,lar and moro accurate information. Accord
inc to one despatch Goggin has overcome IN III
counties S,G4T of Wise's majority OF s,szl' Ii
Letcher is elected, as he probably is, the oppo-

have heretofore carried the State. For the Leg

from q few counties to show how Things are

night we received telegram from Richmond,
which reports ''lsrge gains for Letcher IN the

The Congressional Elections.

The following candidates for Congress having
had no opposition, are of course elected: Messrs.
Millson, Garnett, Bocock, Edmondson and Olem-
ems, all Democrats. In the Sd District, Judge
Caskie, Democratic nominee, is defeated by u.
O. Dejarnette, independent Democrat. W. y.
Goode is no doubt elected in the 4th District,
over W. G. Flournoy. In the 9th District, 5. +
Leake has triumphed over Paulus Powell, the
late member. Ex-Governor Smith is elected in
the 7th District over Thomas, Wing, and Shack
leford, Democrat, the latter having received
very small vote. Alex. r. Boteler is elected IN
the 9Th District over Chss j. Faulkner-a glo-
rious victory. In the 9Th District, John T. Har-
ris is elected by about 7sO majority. The ma
iorities in the different counties for the two
candidates are as follows:
For Skianer-Rockbridge 297, Bath 80, Au-
gusta $50, Highland 1s4-11s5.
For Harris.-Hardy $50, Pendleton "a, Rock
ingham ISL, Shenandoah 65O--1965.
In the 18th District Jenkins, Democrat, was
opposed by Laidley, Wing, but is probably elect

opposed by Martin, independent Democrat The
reports are favorable to the election of the for

e- We deem it due to ourselves and other
parties interested to make brief statement IN
reference to certain election tickets printed at
this Office for Mr. John I. Harris, during the re-
cent canvass. Some weeks before the election
Mr.. Harris wrote to us ordering the printing OF
a thousand tickets as follows: "for Congress,
John Z. Harris, IadspeHdsnt Democrat" adding
sand nothing else," or words to the same effect.
We understood nothing else" to mean, that the
name of no other candidate was to be inserted,
aud had the tickets printed with blank spaces
for Governor, Lieut. Governor &c. few days
before the election we received q letter from two
gentlemen of Rockingham county, enquiring who
had ordered the tickets, and We informed them in
reply that it was Mr.. Harris. On the fol-
lowing Monday, Mr.. Harris being in Stanton
called at our office and satisfied us that we had
misunderstood his order. He wanted mere
slip of paper with the words italicsed above
printed on it, and literally "nothing else" such
as he had struck off in Rockingham. This ex
PLANTATION seems to US more consistent with the
language used in the order than our original un-
Outstanding of it. So far as we know or now
believe, therefore, Mr.. II. may truly say that he
''never ordered the tickets as published" We
did not preserve Mr.. Hs. letter, but remember
its purport, if not the very words.

Respifed.

Patrick Murphy, who was convicted in Ale
ghany county of the murder of his wife and sem
fenced to be hung, has again been respited by
Gov. Wise. The prisoner was confined in the
Jail of this county, and was taken to Allegheny
on Wednesday last, to be executed on Friday
On Thursday, however, messenger arrived from
Richmond bearing respite from the Governor,
till July. AS there was no train running west oil
Stanton that afternoon, Sheriff Turk procured
an engine and started out about midnight. lie
arrived at Covington in time to prevent the ex-
ecution, and brought Murphy back to Staunton
with him. We learn that public meeting was
held at Coyington, and resolutions adopted dis
approying of the Governors course.

News from Europe.

The steamer Asia, from Liverpool, with advi-
ces to the 14th inst, arrived at New York on
Thursday morning last. The news by this ar
rival is essentially unimportant. Upto the l4th
no battle had occurred between the bellgerent
armies. The forces of France were pouring into
Italy, and Austria appeared disposed to retreat
within her own possessions and there meet the
first shock of the war. In that event it may be
some time yet before Sardinia and her ally VIII
be- prepared to assail Austria in Lombardy.-
The Emperor Napoleon had reached Genoa, and
was to Join the army on the 14th. The English
Government has formally proclaimed its design
to occupy position of strict neutrality, PRUSSIA
is said to occupy an expectant position, and mas
not bound herself to preserve neutrality.
Napoleon's departure from France was per-
feet ovation, and his reception at Genoa, where
be arrived on the 18th, was most cordial. de
issued stirring address enjoinng discipline, ex-
pressing that his only fears were that they would
show too much enthusiasm.
He was expected to proceed to join the army
on the 14:h. The King of Sardinia visited the
the Emperor at Genoa.
The number of French troops in Italy on the
| 18th inst, was estimated as 100000. The Sar'
diniaus counted $4,000 regular troops and 81
900 volunteers. The Austrian force in Sardinia
consist of about $4,000 men. The delay of the
Austrians in moving forward is attributed to the
heavy rains. A military correspondent of the

ceedingy vexed at being kept nearly three days,
the 9th, 2Sth, and 29th of April, in inactivity.
When, in the afternoon Of the Goth April, Count
Gyulai gave orders to the vanguard to cross the
Ticiuo, there Was joyful cry, in half dozen
different languages, of Sat last at last -
When the troops got into Piedmont they found
the roads broken up, but the pioneers soon made
them passable. Great complaints are made OF
the enormous supplies exacted by the Austrians
from the Sardinians.
| LATEsT.-The steamer New York, arrived at
New York on Sunday, brings three days later
intelligence. No battle had been fought up to
the latest dates received from Italy. The Aus
TRANS were strengthening their position in the
field. and endeavoring to raise the sinews of war
by an immense loan. So confident are the
French of victory that preparations are to be
made for the celebration of a Is De@ma thanks
giving at Notre Dame, Paris. A revolution in
Hungary, excited by French intrigue, is spoken
of as propable. Queen Victoria had reviewed
the troops at Aldershott. Before leaving Paris
Napoleon is reported to have addressed to her
an autograph letter, assuring her that the inter-
ests OF England are not to be compromised by
the war. The resignation of Count Buol is con-
| frmed. Numerous failures on the London stock
exchange are reported.

Hail Storm.

On Friday last violent hail storm passed O.
yer portion of this county, doing considerable
damage to the growing wheat, forest trees and
window glass. Itextended from about the neigh
borhood of Mr.. Jacob Baylor's in north east
direction, passing between Col. Bells farm and
the Big Fill. The wheat crops ofMr. Baylor and
Mr.. B. Shumate were almost entirely destroyed,
while Messrs. G. W. Swoope, jr., f. Hoover, e..
Edison, John Trimble and John Sillings suffered
severely in the same way. Mr.. Sillings had OF
panes of glass broken, and upwards OF 80 were
broken in the old Edison house, now occupied
by Mr.. p. Heisken.

Execution of johnson.

The execution of James H. Johnson, for the
murder OF his wife, at Rappahannock Court
House, Va, on Friday, the 18th, has been al
ready announced. The miserable man died an
awful death, as will be seen by the following, ia
ken from the correspondence of the Whining
ton On. o. Herald:
"At o'clock, P. M, the prisoner was brought
from Jail under guard, on foot, il being his de-
sire to walk
At 20 minutes past they arrived at the
place of execution, and after adjusting the rope,
the Sheriff asked the prisoner if he had anything
to say. With firm voice he asserted his inno-
cence; said he believed his wife was poisoned,
but the deed was committed by one of darker
race, (alluding to his woman servant;) that sew
eral OF the witnesses had sworn falsely, (men.
tioniDg their names, among them LADY, and
that all the evidence had been vanished that
ne was tried by an honorable jury, condemned
by an impartial Judge that the young lady i'm
plicated was not guilty of all of which she was
accused her friends had sent her from Loudoun
county here to throw the disgrace upon him.
The Rev. Mr.. Fitzpatrick then made quite an af-
fecting prayer, and bidding the prisoner fare
well with solemn benediction, retired from
the scene.
Up to this time, johnson had appeared perfect
ly callous to the proceeding, but now when Mil
Ter was adjusting the cap he trembled in every
joint, and the deputy Sheriff supported him un-
I'll the cap was properly fixed AS soon as the
officers let him 60 he threw himself Immediately
backwards as if trying to lie down on the scat
fold, but the rope being too short drew the moose
around under his chin. The Deputy Sheriff
turned back to place the rope in its proper posi-.
ton, at the same time telling him to stand up,
that it would be much better for him. But he
asked Miller to leave him. M. then descended
from the scaffold, and touching the spring, let
the door down at o'clock. The position in
which johnson had fixed himself having drawn
the rope straight, he received no jar whatever,
but just eased him down.
He could be heard breathing further off than
be could be heard while speaking. His respira-
ton was audible for full five minutes, and be
struggled violently for that length of time, when
be appeared more quiet. After hanging 20
minutes, the physicians Amiss and Aslop, ex-
amned him and found life not extinct, owing,
as was supposed, to his having slipped the moose
around next to his throat and his dying 80 hard
is coniectured to have proceeded from the same
cause. After hanging 80 minuteshe was lowered
some, and left hanging 10 minutes longer, ma
king 40 in all, when he was lowered into his
coffin, and submitted to the care of his nephew,
who took him to his former residence, kept him
"a hours in hopes of his revival, and finally
buried him in the grave from which his wife
was taken, when she was removed to Loudoun
County by her friends"

witnessed IN France, of giant of two hundred
pounds weight, laden with arms and accoutre.
ments, astride of beast not much bigger than
himself, is never witnessed. In short, the Aus
trian uhlan or bnssar, is the model light cavalry
man of the world-small, light, why, active, in
defatigable, rider from his cradle, his bride In
his heels, and his hand, eye, and heart on his
sabre, indefatigable in the march, swift in the
charge, everywhere by turns and nowhere long.
1t may be almost said that the Hungarian hussar,
now that the Turkish spahi is thing of the past,
is the only light cavalry, in fact the only caualry
in existence. His cuts are as fatal and sure as
other mems thrusts. His horse is part Of him
self; riding or fighting are his pastimes. In for
mer days he was the glory and boast of the Aus
trian army. Those gay swarms of hardy little
men which it shot from its sides on the march
where its surest aids in victory, its best safe
guards in defeat.
All this, however, goes down before the En-
field rife and the Armstrong gun. Let the horse
be ever SO swift, the sabre ever 80 sharp, or the
rider ever so bold, the conical ball is too much
for him. A charge of cavalry upon q body of
properly armed infantry bids fair to be hence
forward impossible. Two hundred yards has
been fixed by the best authority as the proper
charging distance, and in by gone days it was
only OF two hundred that the fire of square be.

The foot soldier has swifter messenger in his
