A Great Victory.

It's A matter OF infinite satisfaction to the
true and loyal people OF Ftrginia-taose
conservative yirginians who love the state
and desire 70 protect the public Interests
from the destructive machnaiions OF as
contented agi,aiors who would sacrifice tne
ro,,,,o,.wealth 10 accomplish their seihsn
nnrnoses--.hat GRAND VICTORY FOE The
sr.rs was Yesterday won 81 the CoNsERvA'
TIVE PARTY.
II wss in this metropolitan district that q
concentrated attack wcs made. Tue un.
known and utterly unmeritorious nominee
OF the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES press
efi with all possible art and trick, aided oy the
free ,lse of money, against the wor'd-re-
nowned hero, General JOSEPH +. JOHNSTON.
Richmond gave General JOHNSTON 2'ol2
majority. and that will probably be his ma
FORTY in the district, the counties being
about tied.
This is a very gratifying result. It's
GLORIOUS yIcT0RY-.oEe that will lmpari
great pleasure to all the country, and espe-
cialIy throughout the South. 1t saUeS Me
State and this city from the dishonor-nay'
diserace-of the defeat OF the Old Hero by
man OF the most ordinary character, Wltn-
out a single claim to public support. Had
en- lamentable an event taken place 1t would
have set in motion system OF tactics thar,
even II il could not succeed, would greatly
pro]onc the disturbance OF the public peace.
an is safe, and the voters, so many OF
whom have for the time been de!udec by
the plausible representations OF shallow par
tisans, will have time to review their acts
and emerge from the false position INTO
which they have been inveisled.
So we have passed another crisis safely,
to the lasting honor OF the Conservative
party.
So much for THIS DISTRICT.
In the STATE the regular Conservative
nominees are certainly all elected except
HINTON in the Fourth district and RICH
MoSp in the Ninth. We have not definite
information from those districts.
We report rs elected JOHNSTON, GooDE,
CABslI. BEALE, HUTTON, and TUCKER.
fuckers victory is superb. He gets
majority in every county save, probably,
Ruckincbam-CAMM PATTEs0N'S county.
fuckers majority will be very large. The
beautiful part in the matter is that Rock
bridge gives Tucker $50 majority. All the
power of the a9itatorS and tricksters that
could be brought to bear upon that sterling
old county was directed upon her, and they
claimed the county loudly and vehement!y
as their property. They have lost 1t, and 1t
is matter OF the profoundest qualification
to all good people.
So let us rejoice FOR our dear Old Virginia.
She is gradually but surely riSnting herself,
and shaking off the velmn that have so
long annoyed her and disturbed Der peace
and prosperity. 1t is in order for the most
heartfelt rejoicing.
In the Seventh district HARRIS is proba-
bly, elected over PAUL.
From the GENERAL ELECTIONS we have not
returns sufficient to enter into calculations,
but we have the glorious news that BEAST
BUTLER is defeated in Massachusetts, proba-
bly, by 40, 900 votes. That is fact that will
send thrill Of delight throughout the
Union. 1t is indeed the most 1elictous oil
triumphs for the good over the very worst
OF the bad. This kills BUTLER, and that is
beneficial TO the whole Union, The very
head OF the Greenback hydra is cut of in
BUTLER. Here in the metropolitan district
we have Topped off feeble offshoot that
struggled for existence.
Irrespective of the remaining election
news, now incomplete, that which we give
is sufficient for one days iubilation, and let
us be very happy to-day.
