"whcrcas Mr.. Davis, Senator from Ken

We announced some days ago the sue
cess of the Johnson ticket at the recent
election In Portsmouth. We attached no
particular Importance to the result, and
gave only.a few lines to the subject. Since
then. we have learned from the Washing
ton Cbropicle--what no one 80 near the
scene as we are suSpccted-that the cleo
ton was contest between "rcbcls and
.Irnionists" and that the result proves
how totally unfit Virginia is for representa-
ton in that Congress of which such diStin-
ruished Union men as Sumner and Ste
ycns arc the leaders. We append some
extracts from letter written to the editor
of that paper by "Virgina Unionist,
who. of course, is a most estimablc gentle
man that was unluckily beaten in the
election aforesaid:
PORTSMOUTH, Va, April 22.-Ycstcrday
we had the regular municipal election IL

of the entire rebel ticket by about tw,
hundred majority. The surroundings and

| illustrating the sentiments of the people
| of this State, for ii seems 10 me that tn,
policy of the Administration would work
well where population was entirely de-
pendent on Government patronage, II any
/ where. Let lis see the result.
I This ticket, consisting Of twcnty-cigh
names i'm the two wards, did not contain /
name that was not put there because o

McsSrS. EdtorS,-I promised in my let
ter of Yesterday to write You again to-day.
The State Council OF the Friends OF Tenn
prrancc is still in session. Several other
delegates have come in, and four new
councils are to be added to the list re-
ported 10 YOU. The friends are in fine
spirits. and can see nothing to prevent their
new organization from being complete
success. Every wcll-wiShcr of humanity
should bid them God-Specd. Their object
is Il good one, and the means they propose
to use for the accomplishment OF the end
are unohicctionablc.
4 public meeting was held tonight.
The church was crowded, and the audi
cmcr was well pleased with the addresses
delivered by Rev. Mr.. WcllonS, of Suffolk,
and T. j. Evans, of Richn ond.
The consideration of Il new Ritual has
occupied most OF the time and attention
of the Council. The body will probably
get through with its business tomorrow.
The members propose to return to their
respective homes and present the claims
of their new Order with carneStncSS and
activitv-trcc from any connection with
the Maine Liquor Law enterprise, or any
other effort to prohibit by law the sale OF
liquor. The Friends are satisfied with the
Virginia legislation as it stands. Our
motto is, eve persuade men,"
| am YOUR FRIEND.
