With such an exhibit before him no one can
accuse the opposition of having defeated Mr..
Skinner. The Democracy have majority of
1896 for their candidate for Governor, and it
was surely in their power to elect the party
nominee for Congress, if they had chosen to do
it, But let US look little further. Mr.. Skin.
ner leads Mr.. Letcher in Augusta 494 votes.-
To whom is he indebted for this majority9 Un-
doubtedly to his political opponents. We know,
however, that some Democrats in the county
voted for Mr.. Harris, and therefore Mr. Skinner
must have received larger number of OPP
position votes than is indicated by his major
ity over Letcher. The aggregate vote of the
county for Governor was 3,572, and for Con-
gresham 1923. Thus it appears that 449 per-
sons did not vote for either Skinner or Harris,
and these, we presume, were Wings who would
not vote against Mr.. Skinner and yet felt that
they could not consistently vote for him.
An analysis of the votes in the other counties
will show that similar state of things existed
in most of them. In all the counties of the
District except two-Augusta and Bath-Mr.
Skinner has fallen behind the vote of his party.
His aggregate vote in the District is 1854 less
than Letcher's vote. Mr.. Harris vote is LOIS
more than Goggin's, and he no where came up
to the Goggin vote except in the strong Demo-
cratic counties of Highland, Peudleton, Rock
ingham, and Shenandoah.
To members of the Democratic party belongs
the honor of defeating their nominee. The large
Opposition vote cast for Mr.. Skinner, under cir
cumstances which would naturally induce men,
bers of the party to vote for the Independent
candidate, is high personal compliment of
which he may iustlv feel proud

Election Returns.

The official and reported returns from 14S
counties give Letcher majority of 4,7O5. Six
old counties and two new--Olay and Tucker
remain to be heard from, the former of which
gave Wise 251 majority. We will publish the
vote in full as soon complete and accurate
report is received.

DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH TRooPa.-The
Paris correspondent of the Boston Traveller
gives the following account of the departure
from Paris for Italy Of the French troops;

railway station, where the troops took their de-
parture. Soldiers of every different arm of ser
vice were hudded together. They were with

many had been ourtailed of their proportions
until little remained except huge slice. The
immense space in front of the departing station
was filed with fellows stretched full length on
the ground, sleeping off in the san the fumes OF
the wine. Here were sergeants busily engaged
calling rolf and leading their men into the
cars. There were drunken fellows examining
all their pockets with hard boiled red Easter
eggs. Many groups were formed by weeping
mothers and sisters and fathers and brothers.

such was their relation, heard them say. The
girl was seamstress and wore no bonnet, but a
neat muslin cap decked with cherry ribbons,
which set off her embrowned face with great
advantage. do not think she could have been
more than eighteen. Tears streamed down her
cheeks. She filled every pocket he had with
something or another she bought from the ped

his pockets were full she took little silk apron

Hon. WILLIAM l.. GoeeIN.-The Baltimore
American wills up an article on the Virginia
election with the following tribute to Mr.. Cog
gin:
In conclusion, we must be permitted to pay
our hearty tribute of praise to the Opposition
candidate, Mr.. Goggin, for the lofty, daring, in
domitable energy, the high, ohivalric courtesy
with which he has conducted the csmpsign.-
Not Wise in '55, nor Douglas in his battle a.
gainst Lincoln and the Administration, surpassed
the courage and endurance displayed by VIM. L..
Goggin in the canvass just ended. And for
courtesy, we know not where to find his equal.
He has nobly sustained the proud name and
fame of the Wings of olden time. He has made
the title of Oppositionist enviable and the
Wings of Virginia owe it to him and to them
selves and to their brethren in other States who
are just Harvesting for the fight, to evince q
Just and generous appreciation of his services by
some public and enthusiastic demonstrations
If they have lost the name they have gained the
substance of victory. Let them rejoice over it,
and, while rejoicing, give honor to whom hon.
or is due.

A Jeremiad.

Complete returna from the Little Tennessee
District show that Martin, independent Demo,
crat, has been elected to Congress over Floyd,
the regular nominee. Mr.. Amber, of Louisa,
lately member of the State Senate, and Presi-
dent of the Petersburg Convention which nomi-
mated Mr.. Letcher, has been defeated by Mr..
Massie, Opposition. The Richmond Examiner,
after noticing the election of Letcher, says
SIN opposition to this success, we consider it
certain that Powell, Floyd, Caskie and Skinner
are beaten for Congress-, and that Amber is
beaten in the Louisa district We mean no dis.
respect to the individuals who are elected, but
we should like some one to explain the cause
Some say that the Ruffner pamphlet decreased
Letcher's majority, but these gentlemen had no
conaerion acith that production. They are beat
en- in some cases by men who had as much re
sponsibility for Letcher's nomination as any in
the land We are of those who still think that
nomination iudicious and proper one. Men
occupyng our position might have been beaten
by an anti Letcher Democrat without causing
any special wonder; but why does Leake beat
Powell2 Why does Dejarnette beat Caskie p
Why does Martin beat Floyd, or Harris, Skin
ner? Why is Amber slaughtered in the house
of his friends9 Why are Democrats, loyal and
true, ostracised for no fault, and supported by
men publicly processing the same opinions?
While the Examiner is pouring forth this lam
entation, the Charlottesville Jeffersonian, anoth
er Democratic journal, rejoices as follows:
eve have the qualification of announcing to
our readers the election of the Hon. Shelton f,
Leake for Congress from this District, by the
triumphant majority of fifteen hundred and
twenty;tour. And we extend to his numerous
friends in the district and throughout the State
our hearty congratulations at this glorious re-

Severe Frost.

On Saturday last the weather in this region
became so chilly as to render fires necessary, and
by Sunday morning everything out of doors was
covered with frost. We have never known any
thing like it so late in the season. The gardens
suffered severely, all the tender vegetables be-
ing killed. Corn fields also have blighted sp-
pearance. We cannot learn that the wheat has
suffered to any great extent, although some OF
our farmers say that the hail, joint worm and
fly have left little wheat for tho frost to iDjure.
