Spring. lie usually has all that he can do, but
this season he is continually full of business as
sc were made aware, much to our incovenl-
ence when we left our measure at his shop, and
were ,mpeed to walt until we looked unusu.
ally shabby, even for an editor, before our turn
came. But the fit paid Tor waiting.
Clothes do not make the man wholly, but it is
indlsputabIe that neat, wel-fttng garment is
Il most excellent introduction into any society
into which enc ought to go, and the man who
has suit from Woolson's store has that intro
ducti,n. We advise all who are in need of
clothing to go to Woolson and have that need
supplied.

GEN. CAsEY's division, which was thrown into
confusion in the recent sharp battle near Rich
mond is said to be composed wholly of New
York troops. 1t may yet turn out that their
disorder arose more from the superiority OF num-
oeiS IN the rebels attacking them, than from
any want of courage in the men.

The Latest News.

On the second page our WAR News column
will he found to contain late and interesting news
The last mails bring us the gratifying intelligence
that Gen. "Storewell" jackson had attacked Ter.
Poue's forces on Saturday last, on the South-Wes-
tern Mountain, near Mitchelrs Station, on the Or
ange and Alexandria Railroad. But small portion
of each army was engaged Jackson's attack was
made from three points, and as usual, in his Vigor-
Gus style utterly routing the enemy, who sustained
a heavy loss in killed, wounded and prisoners.
Three hundred Yankee prisoners had been brought
to GOrdonsville; among them was Brig Gen. Prince
sndtwenty.nine commissioned officers, who, accord
ing to the Presidents order, will of course be put
IN close confinement and hung, if Pope carries out
his barbarous order Gen. c. Sidney Winder is
said to be among the slain, whom We suppose to be
= Federal General, as we had no one of that name
among the Confederate Generals. No mention is
made of our losses. -....
In Missouri the Confederate guerrillas are max
ing havoc of the Federals. Yankee accounts state
that they have possession Of the State.

HAMILToNs OLD FIELD, RUTHERFoRD.--A friend
writing US from Rutherfordton, under date August
4th, says:
AT a gathering at Hamilton's Old Field, on the
5lst there was trial of the strength of the cand
dates for Governor, which resulted as follows:
Vance l40 Johnston 10. This is the spot of ground
upon which "0ld Zeb" first received a nomination
Tor Governor. The people around Hamilton's Old
tleld claim Zeb as their candidate, being the first
mat gave him nomination" .....
We have not yet heard from Rutherford, but we
nave no doubt the people of that County have given
loL Vance rousing majority.

To REMOVE MAaGoTs FROM WouNDs.--As mat.
ter Of widespread interest at this time, we give
place to the following, from the Richmond Wing;
take the leaves, bark, flowers or berries of the
common elder, (Samb Gus niger,) make strong tea
by pouring boiling water upon them, and letting
them steep. Wash the wounds once or twice day
with this. Boil some lard and while boiling, stir
in elder in considerable quantity, and strain off
through seive or coarse cloth. This makes an
ointment for the same purpose. It Is improved by
adding one fourth as much common beeswax as the
amount of lard used.
ANTIsEPTIc PowpEk-To correct the offensive
odors of wounds, mix one hundred parts of cal.
cined plaster Of paris and two parts of coal tst
Rub we'll together. Sprinkle this upon the wodl
once or twice daily. They have been fully testd-

The Result of the Election in this State.

We give to-day statement of members elected to
the Legislature far received and also the vote
for Governor in forty-thTee Counties There are
eighty.nin Counties IN the State. Col. Vance's
majority in forty.three Counties is NINETEEN
THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY
EIGHT We do not estimate in this the army
vote, as that is generally included in the votes of
the different Counties The probability is that Col.
Tances majority will reach forty thousand. 1t
will certainly range between thirty and forty thou
sand
The Legislature is also largely Conservative.
We do not propose to allude to day, at any length,
to the meaning and moral character of this great
victory, but we shall do SO in our next This vic
tory in its thoroughHess, and in the magnitude of
the najorties by which it has been achieved is un-
precedented in the political history Of this State
Col Vance and his friends, both in and out of the
army, have reason to be proud of the triumphant
manner in which his integrity and loyalty have
been endorsed by the people. 1t is true, no such
endorsement was necessary from any source; but
his sssailants BY their charges against him and his
friends, made up the issue, and the people have de-
cided it By blasting reouke to them, and BY elect
ing him Governor by the largest majority ever cast
for any candidate for any Office in the State. Under
any circumstances his election is eminently fit
to have been madei but it is especially gratifying
in this crisis and in view of the manner in which
he and the cause of which he is the embodiment,
have been assaed We are satisfied that he will
make an honest able and energetic Chief Magis-
tra:e; and that the people, who have signally hon
ored him by this manifestation of their regard and
confidence, will have no cause to regret his election.
Col Vance, in his letter. consenting to the use of
his name for Governor, said II shall be content

lows:
"As it is now very apparent that we have
nothing to depend upon in the present con
test but our own strength, care, tirmness and
union. Should not the same measures be
adopted in yourand every otherGovernment

to seize.on those Tories whc have been, are,

Why should persons who are preying up
