BY II o'clock last night says dispatch
from Petersburg, Gen. Malone had to give
up all hope Of victory, but in doing this he
had TO give utterance to the following:
"The democrats have carried the State
and Legislative tickets by the INSCRIPTIONS

they have absolute control, and which was
provided by their last usurping Legislature
expressly with the end in view"
At later hour, in response to an inquiry
from the Mayor of Lancaster, Ohio, and
other Northern friends, Gen. Malone sent
the following telegram
TO Fl. c. Drinkte, Mayor Of Lancaster, Ohio

now alarming to his friends indeed, that
there is little prospect of his recovery.

At the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union in session in Philadelphia yesterday
a resolution was adopted that the use of
alcoholic wine in the Holy Communion fur
nishes moral support to the liquor traffic,

Heavy Rain Fall and Great Damage.

correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette!
ORLEAN, Fauquier county, Va, Nov. g.
This portion of Fauquier and Rappahan-
mock counties was visited day or two ago
by the heaviest fall of rain seen for a num-
Der of years. Untold damage was done
along the water courses Thumb run, Kappa
hammock, Thornton's, and the Hazel river.
On Thumb run the mill dams of G. w.
Davis, esq, Leroy Templeman, esq.,, and
Noah Putnam, esq, were swept away.
The losses sustained by the farmers along
it's course were very heavy, VIM. H. Trip.
lett, esq, losing about one hundred barrels
of corn, Mrs Putnam forty barrels, Thomas
Gordon some fifteen or twenty and many
others lost more or less. The bridge across
Carter's run at Waterloo was swept away,
and Mr.. VIM. Smith lost about one hundred
and fifty barrels of corn on his Waterloo
farm. The losses are fearful to contemplate
all along the Rappahannock river nearly up
to its source; all Of the corn on the bottoms
having been carried away by the flood. A
Chancellor's old mill in one-horse buggy,
and was swept down by the rapid current
and drowned, as was also the horse. The
WOman'S DOCy mas not Deen recovered,
though search has been made for it. Mr..
Cornelius Smith lost large quantity OF
corn from his farm, on Thornton's river.
Mr.. Smith is one of the most cautious farm
ers in Rappahannock county, and always
has his corn hauled and put out of reach OF
high water, but it was said to be higher this
time than ever known to be, even by the
oldest nhabtant.
The rains have belated our farmers in
seeding wheat, and good many have been
unable TO finish. 7.

public appetite, people do not readily give
their sympathy to an injured woman who
fights her own battles in public with little
respect for the bicn&Cdnccs Of society. The
consequence was that the poor lady got ter
ribly into debt When Bulwer fell into the

Turks, Russians, and Tartars have laid down
their lives by the hundreds of thousands in that
peninsula. Every town has had its siege,
every plain its battle. and every dragged noun
