The Late Election.

In speaking of the spirit which actuated the
people in the recent election, the ssRichmond
Whig' very properly says:
seThe people seem to have fully understood
the true character and magnitude of the issue in
VOWED, and therefore, although the notice of the
election short, and the day particularly in
clement, they turned out in full force and cast a
vote which we believe will be little short of that
cast in the Presidential election. The majorities,
too, were unprecedentedly large. Another sig
nifcant fact is, that the masses seem, in great
measure to have ignored old party divisions and
to have emancipated themselves from the thral-
dom of party leaders. Hence, the strongest
Wing counties are found electing men of Demo-
cratic antecedents, and, on the other hand, the
staunchest Democratic counties have returned
men who have heretofore voted with the Wings.
There is deep meaning in all this. 1t shows
that the people are devoted to the Government
which was bequeathed to them by their fathers.
1t shows that they are ardently attached to the
Union. 1t shows that there is patriotic chord
in the popular heart, which needs only to be
touched, to produce vibration from the banks
of the Ohio to the seaboard. As soon as the
people were satisfied the country was in danger
they rose in the majesty of their strength, snap
ped the pack-threads of party, and pronounced
the doom of the demagogues and conspirators
who had brought the evils upon the country.

February sth. 1861, at o'clock, p .oferysipelas
and cold in Lewisburg at the residence of her sister,
(Mrs. Ann Weir after severe illness of four weeks
Miss elizabeth MATHEWS, in her Odd year.
Thus another who had liv ed long in this community
has passed from the earth, and left vacant
place in the circle of her acquaintance and friends.
She was born in Lewlsburg, on the 3Oth day of No
vember 1898, and had made this her home ever since
Some thirty years ago she connected herself with the
Presbyterian Church, in whose faith she died the
death of Christian. Though, during her last sick
ness her bodily suerings were great, she frequently
gave expression to the rapture of her mind, in
Of going to a better world. She longed and prayed
for her release from earth to Pious friends
were frequently asked to pray that her exit mighi
soon come and be easy. Her language was-come,
Lord Jesus, come quickly. No matter how great her
pain was if prayer was made at her bedside or kind
friends engaged in singing hymns long familiar to her
ear, she seemed forget her sufferings, and some
times would sink into gentle slumber Her relatives
and friends may hope that her released spirit now
rests in the sunshine OF heaven thrilled by the
of saints and angels.
In her last will and testament, Miss MATHEWS de-
voted good part of her effects to benevolent purpo
ses.- Greenbrier lndependsnt.

The Reason of the Change.

Before the election for members Of the State
Convention the secessionists denounced those
who were opposed to their policy of precipita-
ting Virginia out of the Union as base submis-
sionists. But since they have been defeated by
an overwhelming majority, and have received
such severe rebuke at the hands of the people,
a change seems to have come DER the spirit Of
their dreams, and they now say that the people
have chosen the right kind of representatives
We hear nothing more of submissionists-the
secessonsts seem to have erased that wore
from their vocabulary. The secessionists, how.
ever, focked to Richmond, and were particular.
ly kind and gracious to those whom they had
during the canvass, charged with being submits
sionists and quasi Black Republicans. In speak
ing of their conduct in this respect the Richmond
Wing says:
I'VE think we have discovered the cat in the
meal tub, in regard to some of these Precipita
ting gentlemen, at least. We notice that q
goodly number of them are candidates for the
offices of the Convention-for the Clerkship, for
the Printing, for the Reporting, for Sergeant at
Arms, for Doorkeepers, &c. Strange sight, Is Ii
not, to see the only true and reliable Southern
Rights men in the State eGtreatiBg office at the
hands of Submissonsts-of sympathzers with
Northern Abotionists! Can such things be,
without our special wonders Does not the con-
duct of these gentlemen, in the present instance,
afford another striking illustration of the ruling
passion strong in death2 Though whipped out
of their boots-though overthrown by an over
whemiug majority of the popular vote OF the
State though dra wing their last political breath,
and almost ready tor the hand of the undertaken

Election of Wing in Rockingham

Of the election of Mr.. Jno. F. Lewis i'll Rock

BILE manner the strong Union sentiment of the
people of that county, the Baltimore Amsrica,,
says:
.'That the county of Rockingham. the banner
county of the Tenth Legion, which can easily
give two thousand Democratic majority, should
elect Wing, and that Wing such d d. ed-in the
wool Wing as John F. Lewis. seems to those who
have known any thing Of Virginia politics and
