Rag- CoRREcrIoN.--In our editorial article o
last week, in reference to the Presidency, il
speaking of the election of 1860, the following
language is used:--If the next .Prcsidentia
contest bears likeness to the last, we may ex
peet to find all the states IN which slavery
exists, going one way. Maryland may be
again an exception, and with the right man
Wisconsin may come over to aid the Opposi
tion," &c. The word Wisconsin, should read
Missouri, and was so written in copy, but
carelessly mistaken by the compositor.

SEVERE HAIL STORM IN VrRG1N1A.-Thcre
was a severe hail storm on Friday last about
twelve miles east Of Wheeling. The hail lay
on the ground three or four inches deep. On
some farms the loss was great. Everything,
without a single exception, suffered more or
less. The trees were completely robbed o
their fruit; apples, peaches, pears, cherries,
plums, down even to gooseberries and cur
rants, all changed places from the branches to
the ground. Wheat, barley, oats and corn
were completely riddled and beaten into the
earth; trees blown Town and branches cut off
The storm ragged for fifteen or twenty minutes
with undated fury. and surpassed anything
Of the kind ever before known.

The first battle between the hostile-armies
on the plains Of Italy has been fought, and
the arms Of the Allies have gained q signal
victory. This important news reached us last
night. 1t was brought by the steamship City
Of Washington, which left Liverpool on the

Intercepted off Cape Race on Thursday even

under Gen. Stadion, on the one side, and
5000 or 1000 French aud a regiment of Sar.
dlnlan cavalry, under Gen. Forey, on the
other. The battle continued during four
hours, when the AuStrians retreated behind
the 70, leaving, it is reported, 1900 or 2. 900
dead upon the field. The French loss is said
to be between 600 and 700, including many
officers. A number of AustrianS were taken
prisoners, and had been forwarded to Mar
settles. Several other engagements are re-

Another Wife Poisoning Case.

The neighborhood of Montague, Sussex
Co., n. T., has been in the greatest state of
excitement imaginable from the fact that the
sudden death of a woman near Montague, was
very mysterious. The facts are mainly these;
A certain DR.. Wiekham induced an ignorant
man by the name of Cole, to have his wife's
life insured for 81, 900, and as she would be
confined in a short tine, it was arranged to
have her die at that time, and they two divide
the insurance money; but it so happened that
she was confined in the absence of DR.. Wick
ham was absent, and another physician was
called. In about a week DR.. Wickham re-
turned, and called to see her, and she not be.
ing quite as we'll that day, the doctor gave
her something as medicine, end in twenty min.
utes she was a corpse. She was buried in due
time and nothing was thought of it, till the
Insurance Company were excited by the anx.
iety of the parties to get the money. and they
sent an agent to make inquiries, and had the
body disinterred, when, upon examination, a
large amount of arsenic was discovered in the
stomach. The parties, in the meantime, had
been arrested, and Cole confessed the whole,
as above; but before the proper evidence
could be got here for the commitment of DR.
Wickham, the Justice, for some unaccounta
BILE reason. discharged him from custody, anc
he escaped.

The South FLouRs1Na.- We are pleas
ed to find the following just and truthful
acknowledgements in the columns of north
ern cotemporary I BOZ
-Ehe South is in q thriving condition, if
we may credit the remarks of dealers ii
exchange in this direction. The planters,
who used SO frequently to be compelled to
mortgage their crops in advance, are in a
condition this season to draw. on New York
direct, and thus to realize their funds at
maturity, without all the exhausting deduc-
ton made by discounters, bankers and their
auxiliaries. This is state of things to
inspire national exultation !; for we hold that
the producer from the soil is our primary
capitalist and When he aourishes, all the
other attendants upon trade and commerce
flourish with him The South with its cot
son; the North witheits manufactures; the
East with its food, how dependent are they
all upon each others support for each 9th
er's welfare ! And how sincerely should a
mutual Interest unite them in mutul affec-
ton.

The Elections Again.

Our returns come in slowly, and it seems
that we are likely to be SEINE ten days lon
ger without such definite information as
will enable us to make more than an ap-
proximate estimate Of the result. Our cor
rected reports all up to this time increase
the Democratic majority, and we now feel
convinced that Mr.. Letcher is elected by
more than six Thousand votes over his OBJ
ponent.
In opposition 10 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 disrespect to the individuals
who arc elected, bat we should like some
one to explain the cause. Some say that the
Rufner phanphles decreased Letcher's ma
jority, but these gentlemen had no connex-
ion with that production. They are beaten
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 ajudicious and prop
er enc. Men occupying our position might
have been beaten by an anti-Letcher Demo-
crat without causing and special wonder;
but why does Leake beat Powell? Why
does Dejarnette beat Caskie Why does
Slartin beat Floyd, or Harris, Skinner p
Why is Amber slang htered in the house of
his friends? Why a-e Democrats, loyal and
true. ostracises for no fault, and supported
by men publicly processing the same opin-
ions :? Why is it that the little and paltry
demands of private malice and mere person
al appeals for favor have found a response
in the Democratic bosom? We invite the
attention Of those Democrats whose attach
mentto their partyis founded on principle,
to this incipient step towards disorganiza-
ton We ask them to investigate the con
duct Of political asprants. @
We demand Of the people of Virginia to
say whether they intend to see that political
contests shall be decided upon considerations
affecting public welfare, or controlled by
private intrigue. Let them say whether
they will dismiss faithful servants for no
cause, and abandon all Virginia usage, and
determine political questions on mere per-
sonal grounds. -Rich1sonG Examiner.
