Correspondence. The rejoicing over
The election of Cleveland in 1854, though
very demonstrative, did not equal the
delight of our people over the signal
victory of Tuesday. The intense feel
ing of apprehension, even IN the face OF
the most favorable indications, had
been so long sustained that when II
was removed unbodnded delight ana
devout thankfulness followed. The
very suggestion that Malone. and the
miserable gang near him might cap
ture Virginia. aroused the strongest
and boldest opposition that has ever
been made in all this Piedmont section
to any man seeking political power.

done. her share in contributing to the

county and city. and Mckinney s OF
a gain on Cleveland 5 majority Of over
% per cent.

negro vote. OF the GS7 votes cast foI

in large ballot and three IN another.

arrested for interfering with colored
man who was attempting to vote the
Democratic ticket. He took the negro =
la lot from him, and forced him to
vote for Malone. He will be tried to-
morrow.
