II is asserted that the rebels are about
to evacuAte Virginia That they do not do
this without bitter necessity will be un-
derstOOd by everybody. In the beginning
of the war, the South Caroliniaus Insisted
that it should be carried on in Virginia,
and Stephens and Cobb were sent through
Louisiana, Mississippi aud Arkansas last
April and Nay, to assure the people that
they need have no apprehensiOus of the
Yankees, as the war would be kept in the
border States. But Kentucky aud Mis-.
souri, are cleared of rebels; Tennessee is no
longer theirs; North Carolina is half ours;
aud now they are to leave Virginia.
Tennessee aud Virginia furnished to the
rebel armies, there is reason to believe, not
less than ninety, and probably one hun
dred thousand men. When Davis abap-
dons these States he will not be able to
take with him more than half of this mum.
Der; probably he will not get twenty
thousand TO accompany him willingly
These two States are also the granaries of
the South. Virginia is the fourth in the
list of the wheat producing States, aud
Tennessee in 1880 produced more hoes
than any State in the Union. Both are
great corn growing States; and from them
Davis has drawn the immense quantities
OF provisions which he needed for his ar.
mics.

The sherInaltr.

Already one candidate for this important
Office is announced in our columns. This
will do for start, bat it is not to be pre-
sumed that only one Riehmond will be in
the field. There are other Richmouds-no
doubt a score of them-lying in ambush,
ready TO spring their traps andappear upon
the scenes, one at time, as they see their
opportunities. A great deal of outside
work and management is no doubt now go
ing on-vOIers are being properly manipu-
lated and buttonhOled, and deep water
sOandlugs are being taken to know how
much water this man aud that Que and the
other one can draw. AS soon as all the
shadows, aud eddies, aud quicksands, and
snsgs have been sounded and marked
down, We shalt see candidates rising like
SO many Trojaus out of the ground.
Still there are a great many people who
can't be buttonhOled, but who will take
the names of candidates into consideration
just as they loom above the horizon, in
print. The people are offIsh nowadays
in election matters; they have had so much
of it. Its nothing but vote, vote, they
think. In fact they have become indiGer-
ent about elections, as the recent one
proved. Elections cost money-involve
additional taxes, and this the people are
finding out. In Western Virginia for the
last few months We have had scarcely any
thing but elections. Properly distributed,
We have had enough to last US about ten
years. In ordinary times they are pleas

the hungry candidates.
10 this view of the case, we bsseech the
crowd of waiting reserves, who have an
eye to this Sheriaalty bone, to turn into
the race early. Get out on tho course, and
let people see aud examine aud discuss
your points of fitness. There's very little
room for strategy. Plain tactics are the
best. The people understand all the fine
points in the game, aud an early aud
bold stand is far more likely to win than
any other. Ne. Irwin has Wadsd in first,

The late Election and the ne1tSEeps
In 0Fd0F.

The late Election and the next SIeps
In Order
The election returns from the various
counties come in slowly. The vote every
where has been small, and generally the
poll for the Constitution and for a free
State went hand in hand In one place it
is little more for one than for the other,
and rice rersa. We have no idea what it
will be 10 the aggregate, bu, it is plain that
it will fall considerably short of the vste
last fall for division. We explained the 9TH
er day the rafionGie of this, and we might
add more in addition, that as the facts
come to light they show that among many
new state people there was the greatest
apathy, owing to wide spread feeling that
the Convention had not done the work they
were elected to do, in pretermitting the
free State clause from the constitution aud
schedule. Many persons regarded the in
formal and Unauthorized vote on free
State as simply of no account, and not like
" to show anything else than weakness to
Congress. For this reason they preferred
TO leave it alone altogether This, how
ever, WAS mistake, and one which would
be largely remedied we're the election to
come of again. Every body feels so much
disappointed at the strength of the vote
under the circumstances, that they would

wha, will be done in view of the vote
taken We hardly know. The Legislature
has to give its endorsement, and then our
application will be in order for Congress.
These are the two gauntlets that are to be
run. When the Legislature will be assem-
bled we do not know. live are going to
make our application this session they
ought to be brought together soon. What
sort of Legislature We will have when
the members do come together is more
than We can conjecture. Our army has
advanced since the late adjournment. Sew
eral more counties are opened up. Will
these return members, is the question: If
they do, what sort of ones will they be,
and how will they stand on the new State
matter, is another question?
These are interroatories that only the
next few weeks can answer.

WASHINGTON, Pa, April 5, 1862.

Hdi'ors InteiligHeer:-
The annual contest between the Wash

Washington College, came OF on wednCs-
day, March goth. The hour appointed for
meeting was seven o'clock, but il having
been reported that an unusually good cou-
test was TO take place, the audience began
TO collect n full hour and a halt before the
time, and at seven the hall was crowded TO
its utmost capacity, aud room could scarce.

The meeting was opened with prayer ny
the Rev. Dr.. Scott, the President of the
College.
The first performances on the stage
were two select Speeches-"The Preserva-
ton OF the Union by A. W. PAUL, of
Wheeling, and ''our Country's Crisis,n by
l. NJ, BrowusOn, of Washington. These
speeches were short, eloquent aud patriot
ie, and were acknowledged by all to be
snck as were well suited, both in sentiment
aud delivery, TO open the occasion.
The select orations were followed by the
essays-"The Beautiful by r. r. Reed, of
Washington, and "PoeIry," by P. G. Bier,
Of New Martinsville, Va. They were we'll
written and we'll read. Ii is due to the
eSSayiSts 10 say that they had much less
time than the rest of the contestants 10
prepare; but Notwithstanding this, they
presented productions quite acceptable to
the audience, and highly creditable to
themselves.
Next came the original oratious-"The
NnreturniuG Brave" by S. P. Linn, of
Washington, and 1.-The Immortal in Man, "
by D. II. Greer, of Wheeling.
Both the gentlemen were excellent
speakers. Their orations were we'll writ
( ten, and no fault could possibly be found
with their delivery. The audience at
times during the evening, were inclined to
be restless, but the greatest quiet prevail

BaltImore ana ono railroad.

The scene on the road between HarPer's
Ferry and Nartinsburg is = singular one.
Streams DISTRACTED with the ds5riS of burnt
and broken bridges are past at frequent
intervals, and on AL sides are to be seen
evidences of the destruction that has been
at work with the property of the company.
At Martiusburg, particularly, are the marks
of ruin visible. There it will be remem-
berSd, a large amount of railroad property
was destroyed, aId Tue ruins of cars auG
locomotives lie ,hiskly s,rewu along the
tack; .usty wheels, crisped by the fl {, and
the iron frame work OF ears, which the
flames had sought IN vain to destroy, are
gathered into heaps, where they had been
thrown 10 clear the roadway, until they
can be permanently removed.
Within the IS days preceding the re-
opening OF the road, over forty miles of
track had been laid. sometimes at the rate
of three and one-hAlf miles day, and
twenty bridges built, two of which we're a
thousand feet in length, the whole forming
an aggregate of more than two miles of
bridges. The road IN the region of the reb-
Ell occupation was completely destroyed
down to the road bed, and the rails carried
OF to complete the branch road to VIM
chester which was not finished, however,
owing to the scarcity of labor Whereabouts.
SiEee the advance of our troops under Gen.
Banks, these rails have been found scatter
ed along the way to Winch ester, and all

The concluding game of the billiard
tournament which began at Irving Hall, in
this city, on Wednesday evening, ended ut
8 o'clock this morning. Two matches,
comprising twenty-five games in all, were
played last evening and this morning, be-
tween Deery, of this city, and Foley, of
Cincinnati, and the time occupied was
nearly twelve hours. The first, of 900
points, carom, was finished at midnight,
Foley winning by 49s points. Neither
played very well. Foley played steadily
and carefully, but not brilliantly; aud
DeeEy nervously. Foley's largest run was

Another match was then PLAYED OF
twenty-One games of 100 points EACH
These were much better conducted than
the first, aud there was excellent playing.
Deery had fully recovered himself, and the
contest was very close. When twenty
games were finished each had ten. The
twenty-frst (Which was regarded as the

To our country friends among the mer-
chants, sud our large and small jOb6ers in
the surrounding towns and cities, going east
from time to tune, We would point out the
advertisement of S,ellmauu, Hiuricbs &
Co., No. 81 Hanover street, Baltimore,
wholesale selling agents for foreign
and domestic manufactures in variety
goods. Their house is one of the
heaviest of the kind in the sountry-.be
chief one in Baltimore, aud has CONNER
cial standing Of the most enviabIe charac-
ter. They import their foreign goods di.
rect aud first hand, even to their Chinese
aud japanese varieties, such as fans, &C.,
We may say in connection with this
house that Joseph T. Norton, formerly a
merchant of this city, is member of it;
and merchants in this section everywhere
know him to be man whose rule of faith
and practice has always been to sell many
goods, aud good goods at fair price, and
on such terms as adapt themselves to the
condition of the country.
We may also say another thing about
this house. Nessrs. Stellmaun, Hinrichs,
& Co. are among the foremost Union men
in Baltimore. Through all its spacious
half-do1en stories. their house is devotedly
loyal.
