CHARL oTTHsvILLE, November 10.-Of
course the election for the past four days
has been, and is now, the all-engrossing
subject Of conversation. The result has
probably exceeded the most sanglIine ex-
pcctaiion OF the most sagacious interpreter
OF political signs. The rejoicing is by no
means confined 10 the Democrats. Honest
men everywhere, without reference 10 pre-
vious party affiliations, are pleased that the
party OF destruction has been buried beneath
the ruins OF its own rotten structure.
The venerable Judge Riyes has been heard
to express genuine satisfaction at the sig
nal victory, and he and other Republicans
here voted to accomplish this result. a
general Notification meeting is to be held
on Tuesd day night at the courthouse. Ar
engagements had been made 10 have torch
light procession on Thursday night last.
but the ordinance OF the town prohibiting
such demonstrations constrained the Mayor
TO issue a manifesto against it. QUIP.

OF heartfelt Joy were made by distin-
guished gentlemen who fought faithfully
for their country in time OF war, and are
now at their post Of honor in time Of peace,
and were fully appreciated. One Of them re-
ferred most beautifully in his speech to
our Democratic light, Illuminating three
counties around, and TO the most cheering
news from the election, beginning at the
source of the majestic James river, which
flows so beautifully by our little town, and
following it all the way to where II empties
