VIEGTNIA.-Ws are no. SO much elsted, says
the Boston JournGE, by the result Of the Yir-
ginia election as some OF our contemporaries
appear to be. Looking at the issue made at
the canvass in that State, and the demands
made By Virginia as The price Of her allegi-
aBcs, we see little ground for hope Of pacifcs-
ton in the 90 called "Union victory" l. is
only as the turning point, perhaps, OF the tide
Of secession, the apparent commencement Of
the ebb, that we have any hope from the ac-
ton Of Virginia.

WAsHINGToN, May 1S.
1t is the prevailing impression, here, to-
day, in view of the sudden movements of
Butler and the transfer of the command
from Butler to Caldawaller, that an attack
on Harper's Ferry is intended The seiz-
ure Of Alexandria, and the capture of PEN
sacola, are events very near at hand. 1t is
confrmatory of this that the troops at the
North that have enlisted for three years are
ordered here Immediately. The ID regi-
ments of New York, in addition to the
quota are ordered here. to-day. The gov
eminent will probably have 10000 men
here by the end of this month, and will.
then, be in a condition to make important
movements The government is ready for
them any moment, and will permit the reb-
els to remain quiet but few days.
