Vote of Virginia for Bell and Everett.

The Electoral vote of this State was cast u
unanimously on Wednesday last, in the Electoral
College at Richmond, for Bell and Everett. 1t
will be remembered that the Governor and At
torney General had decided that six Breckin-
ridge Electors were entitled to certificates of g.
lection, as some of the Commissioners, in certify
ing to the polls, had misspelled some of the
names of the Bell and Everett Electors. Five
Of the six Breckenridge electors who had thus
been declared to be entitled to certificates of e.
lection were present, but to their credit refused
to take seats in the Electoral College on the
ground that they were mot elected in fact."-
VIM. Lamb the Breckenridge Elector from the
Norfolk District, was unable to attend, in CON
sequence of i'll health, but wrote to the Governor
expressing his exceeding regret that he could moi
be there to cast his vote for Breckenridge and
Lane. The nine Electors who were present, fill
ed the vacancies occasioned by the absence Of
the six Breckenridge Electors, and the vote was
then taken, which resulted in having the whole
vote of Virginia cast for Bell and Everett.

Letter From South Carolina.

We have been shown an interesting Letter
from one of our citizens, written in Columbia
South Carolina. Want of space prevents Us from
publishing the whole letter in this issue-we
may do SO in our next. We have only room fol
the following shor: extract. In speaking of the
feeling which pervades the whole of that State
the letter says:
''They are taking steps to arm and equip the
State most thoroughly, and to prepare for thai
sad, and in my opinion, inevitable emergency
civil war. say il is inevitable, for secede they
aoiW and must, and no concessions from the
North, no repeal of all the inimica legislation in
all their statute books, and the re-establishment
of the Compromise line, in short, nothing will
prevent that step or stay their course. The
more have seen since reached here has only
served to convince me that one star at least .ol
this glorious galaxy of States is destined to shoot
from its sphere. There is calm, settled, fixed
purpose in the minds of every one, and they
will do it, if they 60 alone"

They Know Not What to do.

The members of Congress, like the people
generally, seem to be at perfect loss to know
what to do in the present perilous condition Of
the country. They are like persons cropping their
way in dark cave where not ray of light pen
etrates, and where there is constant danger that
q misstep may precipitate them over fearful
precipice. All is gloom, darkness, danger and
dread. They feel that it will not do to stand
still, and yet they know not in what direction to
move, for fearful dangers environ them on ev.
cry side. The people look to Congress to lead
the way out OF this labyrinth of dangers, but it
seems that that body does not possess an AFRAID
ne who can furnish the clue by which that OBJ
ject can be attained.

Nothing to Regret.

Though the country is enveloped in gloom and
darkness, and the minds of the people oppressed
with anxiety and dread, those who supported
the Union ticket have done nothing for which
they can reproach themselves. They did all
they could to avert the dangers which at this
time threaten the Government with destruction.
If they had succeeded in the election of their
ticket the country would now be at perfect
peace with bright and hopeful prospect for
continued happiness and prosperity. They pre-
dicted the evils which would ensue in the event
of their defeat, but the people turned deaf ear
to their entreaties and representations. They are
now, though in great minority, doing all they
can to save the country. The train which con-
tains all the vast interests of this great country
is now on descending grade, driven with an
excess of steam, and it is time the conservative
''brakes" were put down with vigorous force, else
there will soon be general smash up.
