VIRGINIA ELECTION.
The Result in Virginia.

While we most deeply regret the defeat Of
our gallant leader, still We feel hat there is
much to rejoice over. Five of the regular
nominees for Congress of the hitherto irwin,
cib!e Democracy, have been Defeated
Messrs. Faulkner, Caskie, Powell, and Skin
ner, have leave to stay at home; and while
only one of their opponents was fully identi'
fed with the Opposition party, still some OF
those calling themselves Independent Demo,
Gratis have been as unsparing in their abuse
of the extravaganza and short coinings OF
President Buchanan's Administration, rs the
most inveterate Wing could be. The Demo.
cratic party in Congress will sadly miss the
familiar faces and the political strength ofG.
W. Hopkins, of Paulus Powell, Of John ),
Caskie. Of Charles J. Faulkner.
We can rejoice, secondly, in the largely
increased strength of our party i'll the Legis'
lature. We have gained several Senators
and a large number of Representatives, and
if the party had known its strength, there is
every reason to believe that we might have
elected a majority Of the House Of RepreSen,
~tativcs.
And, thirdly, we can rejoice that the hith,
erto considered invincible Democracy can be
as easily beaten as any other party. 1t on
ly requires a hearty good will and the faith
inspired by Il good cause, to conquer them
ut all times and in all places.-isicT%bmg

The ultra" Movement.

At the late Eicksburg session, the princi-
pal topic for discussion was the revival of the
African Slave trade. which it was argued is
most desirable measure for the South. We
have never ceased u characterize q move
ment like this as highly injurious to the
South. which has black labor already sufi-
cient to supply the markets of the world with
cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco. We have
not room to-day to 60 fully into this subject
but may take occasion at some other time to
do so. We are happy to believe that Virgin
ia is. upon principle and in policy, uncom-
promisingly opposed to the re-opening of the
African Slave Trade, and that she will never
give her sanction or aid to any scheme, hav-
ing for its end the inundation of the South
with annual hordes of African savagcs drag,
ged over here through the horrors of the
Middle Passage.--RtersJmy Mteiiycncer.

Singular Freak of Lightning.

On Friday afternoon. when the thunder
storm prevailed, the lightning struck the
carpenters shop Of Edwin Taylor, at Roches-
ter, under rather peculiar circumstances
a hole nearly a foot in diameter was made
through the fiat roof of the building, and
the splinters from the boards were scattered
in the room below. a number Of men at
work in the shop experienced no sensation
when the lightning struck, and there are no
other traces of the fluid than the hole refer
red to in the roof. There are high chin
neys of iron rising above the building, which
ought to be pretty good conductors. Why
this thunder bolt should have stunned them
and struck the roof is more than VI can I'M
derstand, and how the bolt found its way to
the earth after striking, is no less a mystery.

wife of the arrested man is not dead. 1t APP
pears that the brnte-had severely beaten
his wife. and had then run away from home.
Seeing in the papers that the body of n muir
dered woman had been found he i%nsanel.v
believed that he had indeed killed his victim
and his incoherent rawlings on this topic
caused him to be arrested on suspicion. As
it is, the beaten woman has entered a COM
plant against her lawful protector for assault
and battery. and ON this charge he is still
confined in Jail. The original mystery
remains as dark as ever.
