It seems now almost certain, that Virginia brougli what mean* wa will not now stop to iqnire) has cast' her Electoral vote for *• the Union, except as a free State—tlie man who eould see no cause ofinterference in a case where free negro testimony was admitted—the man wiio could not too strongly recommend Poinsett’ Army Bill for two hundred thousand men, and the man who voted lor toll gate* on the Cumber land Road, and for the most odiousofall tho Tar iff bills. This same man, too, the bead of an Ad ministration, that commenced its twelve years of misrule by calling home the venerable Jas. Bar- BOUR.froin England: no Administration which ims more outraged all her previously professed doc trines of State Rights, than all preceding ones put together; an Administration which has main tained its mujority in the Senate by the members openly spurning her cherished doctrine of in structions, and in tlie House, by disfranchising a sovereign Btatc. Oh, Virginia ! poor old Vir- ginia! how art thou fallen? Bowed down at the feet of tlie drivelling septuagenury, who has dared to seize in his trembling hands, the sceptre that belongs, of right, only to her sovereign peo ple. Virginia is now n State of poor old men—the new States have sucked her very life-blood—ab sorbed her talent—her enterprise—her ardour— her 'youth—her hatred of tyranny Sc oppression- bar dread of a powerful Executive, uud every thing that once tiind&hcr distinguished. She is content now to follow os an appendage to the tail ofNew-Hampshire. She is harnessed to (lie tri umphal car—no, not triumplial, but to the fune ral hearse of an Administration, at whose obse quies John C. Calhoun, Isaac Hill, aud Tuos. H. Benton, march os chief mourner*. Is it possible that Virginia has cast her vote for Dick Johnson, in preference to John Tyler— noble old John—the very beau ideal of a true de scendant of the cocked huts. Is it possible that she has voted for a Vice-President whose name tlie sturdiest Loco, never dated even to fly at tlie flag staff, previous to tho election. It cannot be possible, wo will udVer believe it until we see the ofliciol returns, which even then should be writ- lentil Dutch,for the victory, if achieved, is owing solely to the vote of Rockingham—a County which last spring only voted, all told, about seven hundred and fifty, but which now gives a majority of twelve hundred for Van Suren.

[from our correspondent.] MILLEDGEVILLE. 13th Nov. 1840. Senate met pnrsnnftt to adjournment—tho un finished elections of yesterday were in order. Mr. Gordon moved to postpone the election thnt lie might have an opportunity to have n hii| pass, authorizing the printing to be done by tlie lowest bidder. After soiiio debate, die motion to postpone prevailed, and a bill introduced accordingly. Tho Senate, after receiving several new bills of local character generally, took up the hill to alter and amend the Constitution in reference to the Biennial Session. Mr. Gordon opposed tho passage of the hill, Mr. Spencer and Mr. Jones advocated it warmly. Mr Calhoun had not determined tlie question in his own mind, and moved to postpone the bill for the present. The Semite deferred the bill. I rather expect the matter will be debated warm ly, nnd therefore say nothing more at present on thnt subject The next bill of importance that was taken up, is the bill to “ establish n Court for the correc tion of Errors." Tlm Senate adjourned without any action thereon, and of course it will come up to-morrow for the consideration of the Senate. My impression is that the probable passage of this bill is more promising this session than it has been for some years, it is doubtful however, nnd cannot be made a party question. [mo* A COnRESI-ONDENT.] MILLEDGEVILLE. Nov. 13, 1840. Gentlemen—Permit me to drop you a line hriefly and faintly, describing the sceues and do ings of last night in this city. It was a glorioos night, and a perfect political revival. You begin to anticipate my story. We y—tmtJmy >—efeCtibUS Hi Now-York and Pennsylvania—so fur as to place the results of the elections beyoad a question; in other words, the “ Book Mon” gave it up. About 7 o'clock, (he houses in many parts of he city were beautifully illuminated, and cast their cheerful glare into the streets which seemed to say to every passer by—rejoice. Several hotels were lighted in fanciful style, and were well rivalled by the private dwellings of many distinguished citizens here. At9 o’clock, a bund of music approached the State Rights’hotel, and delighted u> with “ The charms of sweet Music which no pencil can paint." No ordinary concourse was collected by the sight and sounds in the vicinity, nnd as soon as the music had a little subsided, a unanimous cry of Law! Law!! Law!!! was raised. The Judge wns summoned before tliepropfe.and altho’ the call was unexpected, he pleased and entertained his bearers for about thirty minuets. Upon the call of the multitude, Judge Law was followed by Messrs. Flonrnoy, of Muscogee, Jenkins, Berrian, and Hill, of Jasper. It would be inviduous to say one word in re gnrd to tlie efforts of these gentlemen. All I dare tell, is they were called forth and they ad dressed the people. About 12 o’clock, tlie crowd dispersed in good burner, good spirits, uuu determined in public and private to do their duly ns citizens and tree- men. If the announcement of Harrison's election makes such joy in the land, I trust he will take the Presidents! chair amid tire plaudits nnd ac clamations of rejoicing millions. TIP. '‘.0.1, .

The first gun ftmu Alabama is highly favorable to Gen. Harrison. Tuscaloosa, Shelby and Pickens counties have given n Whig gnin of 783 over the Congressional vote, about three months since. The Tuscaloosa Whig, says: “ We have verbal news from a passenger, who says that Gen.

No thing but the Divine interposition of the Almigh ty Ims saved a suffering People from the evil* and misery they have so long endured, nud which have been brought upon them by the profligacy nnd wretched fatuity of those who trove been ilaced in power. The Government was verg* ng rapidly to u confirmed despotism, und Uro country hud reached the very brink of min und bankruptcy.

Every step they took was a blunder, and every net was one of oppression, folly, or madness. The whole country was af flicted wiUi a horrid paraly*is, und men began to despair of Uro Republic. Tnebistory of the past twelve years will be read with gloom nnd sorrow by Uro future patriot of this country, aud posterity will wonder why nn intelligent People had so long submitted to tbe destrclive and outrageous policy of men whose whole political career was a tissue of abouiiiro- tions, uud whose nets proved them to bo not on ly imbecile, but, in a high degree, corrupt and pro fligate.
