Returns from Virginia indicate that the
election has resulted in favor of WALKER,
hut by what majority is not yet known.
The white minority in Virginia is over thirty
thousand, and as no expense oil effort has
been spared by the Democrats, it is probable,
tina, .WALKEn's majority is quite large. The
defeat OF WELLS is owing to his own folly
and The want of unity among his friends A
large number of Republicans would nut vme
for WELLS but gave their votes and Influence
to WALKER. We sliall.nnt comment further

On last Wednesday evening the mother of
J. w. Stephens the Senator from Caswell
and with whom tie old lady resided in
Yanceyvile-was found I,y some children
lying dead on the fionr hy the side of the
bed in her room. 1t appeared that she had
fallen out of the bed and that her throat
struck an earthen vessel which broke in two,
and that the rough edge of the broken yes
sci had very singularly cut her throat-per-
haps severing the juguar vein. She was
found 7weltering in blood, and upon the
children giving the alarm a negro aoman
was the first to hasten to the scene nf death
and selling the fragments of the broken ves-
sci cast them out of window. Several
physicians, we learn. examined the wound
which disclosed small particles of the small
vessels adhcring, and that there was di!-
ference OF opinion among the physicians, as
to the modus operandi of the throat cutting
some conceiving it possible for. it to have
been cut by the vessel, and others leaning to
the opinion that it was done by a hatchet
or a sharp edge tool. We give the state
ment as we receive it from rumor. Mr.. Ste
