Tie articles (little squibs and all) whi.-h follow imrmediately are from the New York Ileral of Wednesday: TIl VIRINIA iECrION-SIONs OF A DIC)I8iYE CONSERVATIVIE VgUTORY. The returns so far received of the election in Virginia yesterday indicate a decisive Conservative victory. The election embraced-First, the ratifica tion of the State constitution adopted by the Radical State Convention some two years ago. Secondly, the question of the ratification of the fifteenth amend. ment of the Federal Constitution is required by Congress. Thirdly, a Gov. ernor, ientenant-Governor and State Legislature. Fourthly, members of Congress. On iho constitntional question, ,-,lar the authority of Congress, Gen. Grant ordere-. a separate vote on the rebel disfranelutsing and one or two otlier clanseni of the State constitution before the people, an.1 it is upon this disfran closing chse that the two parties have been nritinly divided. The Radicals in. chiding the bulk of the blacks, have fought tho battle for the constitution with this rebel disfranchising clause ; the Conservatives for the constitution without this obnoxious clause. The Conservatives accept tho fifteenth amertntlmnt and the situation generally, the great isatte being the question of r,-hel disfranchistment. Walker, the (onservativo candidate, is a moderato ltepublican, and what is known as a carpet baggar-tiat is, a northern man. Wells, the Radicil candidate, is also a carpet, bagger. The Conservatives, it will thus be seen, have accepted the new order of things, and have under taken, in good faith, to secure the State on the terms laid down by Coll gress. If, then, they have carried the State, ineliding tho enfranchisemient of tho hitherto disfranchised rebels, they have the Stato henceforward for a long time to come, and so of the reign of the Radical carpot baggers Son ih we have here the beginning of tle end. Gen. Grant, under the laws o' Congress, has given fair play in tine contest, and so far as wu have seen, ho has not shown himself an active partaan, and we pre anmo will not be seriously distunrbed by Walker's election. Assuming that Walker is elected, and that his party have won tho Stato on the constitution atnd the Legislature, and on Congress, tle resutlt"s show how the whole South may be won by the southern Conserva lives, and how the Conservatives of the North may in due time sweep the country f:om New York to California.

Otn the 5th of July, while a negro picnic was in full blast near the Virginia end of the fiong Bridge, a stout niegro had wandered from the picnic grouin ds, seiz ed a respectable white girl, who was accompanied by a younger sister, and attempted to outrage her.

The Cheraw Democrat, of the 9th says: It has been excessively warm for two weeks or more, and at the same tIme, the drought lhas continued until corn is twisted terribly, andl the gar dens burning up. if it remains dry much longer it will materially affect the crops of all kinds.

THE COST OF IMPORTING COOLIES. 3onme time ago ono of our prominent hipping houses wrote to England to btain some definite information in :egard to the cost of shipping coolies rom China to this side ; and received n reply a letter, from which the fol owing is an extract: "Regardin coolies we have the 'ollowing by last mail from our Hong King correspondents, who wrote un. ler date 19th October, 1868.

Some German p~hysiciains think this fungus the cause of disturbance of digestion in children fed on milk ; and they say that these often cease when precautions are taken, such as to give the milk as fresh as possible, and to keep it in a bottle completely filled and tightly corked. It should also be kept at a temperature as tiearly as possible that of the milk when it comn -s front thes cow." INcENrDtAniSM IN Ksalw DIavuroT.
