/ EDroRs JOURNAL Our city was
electrified this morning by the news Of
Gen. McClellan's great victory in West
ern Virginia, the most brilliant feature in
the campaign thus far, and what has at
length accomplished the fral overthrow
Of the power Of the slave oligarchy in that
section Of the State.
The victory accruing on the same day
Of the admission Of the new Senators from
Virginia, Messrs. Carlisle and Wiley, TO
their seats in the United States Senate, is
the harbinger of the speedy restoration Of
the power Of the Government in the Old
Dominion and the triumph of the loyal
men who reside in that State over the
faithless traitors who have too long con-
trolled with iron hands its destinies.
Mr.. Carlisle was elected to a seat in the
House and made most eloquent speech
on the first day Of the session, in favor of
the Union aud the enforcement of the
laws, He is now transferred to the Sen
ate by the Wheeling Legislature, which
is recognized by the President and Con-
gress as the true exponent of the author
ity Of the State.
We have now in this city and suburbs
about $4,000 troops, and about $4,000 on
the Virginia side Of the Potomac, many Of
them strongly ontrenchcd. a forward
movement is daily anticipated on Fairfax
