AS we told our readers before the cleo
Conservative party in Staunton was gen.
eral all over the State. We give some ex-
tracts to show how wide it was:
LAURELs FOR THE vINDICAToR.
[From the Richmond "Enqurer."l
The triumph Of the Straight-outs in
Staunton is one of the most pleasing re-
suits of Thursdays work; and the biggest
sort Of a wreath of laurels ought to be
given to the Staunton VINDICAT OR.
BICKLE EXTIHGUIsHED.
[From the Richmond "State''I
Staunton particularly distinguished it.
self, the Conservatives having eXtinguish-
ed Mr.. Bickle, a large property holder and
man Of such great character as to have
made him Mayor pro tempore by vote Of
the Council.
To the VINDIcAToB no small credit is
due for the energy and success OF the
canvass.
[From the Richmond "Whig."l
Three daily Conservative papers in
Lynchburg, and vet the Radicals carried
it; four Conservative papers in Danvilie,

elected Mayor and the ticket divided. We
are beginning to fear the press as general
political agent or machine is not SO power

not better.

Virginia.
from the Harrsonburg Commonwealth
Between - and / o'clock on Friday
night, just as we had laid down a pamph-
let on 'stheatre going and dancing" and
extinguished the light. the cockerels Of the
town seemed to be all awake and crowed
thought daylight was dawning, but our
trusty time-piece told us that such could
not be, and we were at a loss to know the
cause of the commotion among the chicka-
biddies. A moments reflection convinced
us that they had heard the news from
Stanton, Richmond, Alexandra and Pc
tersburg, and were screaming their
vigorous scream y in honor to the UMPIRE
cedented Conservative victories.

Dor. The independents did their treacii-
erous work there.--ED. Vim.
