First District—The returns of this district have not all come in, but information indicates the election of Mr. Custis, of Accomac, whose eligibility the Richmond Republic character- izes as undoubted. Second District —It is generally conc: that in this district L. H Chandler, of No , has been successful. He can alao take the test oath. Mr, Chandler is now United States District Attorney for Virginia. Third District—Hon. Benjamin Johnson Bar- bour, a son of ex-Goy.

He was a member of the conyention which passed the ordinance of secession, but we believe he opposed it at that time. During the canvass he has several times denounced the Congressional oath in the most bitter terms, and declared that he would “despise himself” if he could take it. Seventh District.—All the returns of this dis- trict have not come in, but sufficient has been learned to establish the election of Robert Con- rad, who acknowledges his inability to take the oath. The vote polled in Alexandria was compara- tively light, footing up only &4§, of which Mr. Conrad, for Congress, receiyed 419; Mr. McKenzie, 404; Mr. Miner, 25; none for Messrs. Edwards, Rye or Senseney. The vote on the question of authorizing the Legislature to amend the constitution, adopted by the Alexandria convention, so as to remove the disqualification clause, was overwhelming- in tavor of repealing the obnoxious feature, ere haying been only fifty-one votes in the negative, against 616.

The chances are that Mr. Hoge is elected. Tue OoxstituTIONAL AMENDMENT.—In ad- dition to voting for Representatives in Con- gress and inembers of the General Assembly, a vote was had on an amendment to the consti- tution of Virginia, removing the disqualifica- tion of certain parties from holding office in that State. It is proposed to repeal the follow- ing section : “No person shall vote or hold office under this constitution who has held office under the so-called Confederate Government, or under apy rebellious State government, or who has been a member of the so-called Confederate Congress, or a member of any State Legisla- S7-The Rev.

About 1¥ o'cleck the broad nant of | Commodore Montgomery was hauled down, being saluted by eleven guns, and ina few mo- ™ents thereafter, the pennant of Commodore Radford was run up to the mast head, receiving & similar honor. Commodore Montgomery, in turning over the command,spoke in high terms of the officers, Master workmen and Ci sos bw stating that his intercourse with them been of the most pleasant and agreeable character, they having ever been attentive to their duties and ex- pressed the hope that his successor might find | the position of commandant as pleasant and agreeable as be had found it. Commodore Radford, in reply, expressed his { gratification on hearing the officers and men of | the yard spoken of so highly, and expressed | his desire to have the same experience to give when he is called upon to leave the yard. Commodore Radford spent about an hour in social converse with the officers and master | 1 workmen, and left about two o'clock in the Rescue for his iste flag-ship, the Malvern, | which came np and made fast to the wharf | abont five o'clock. Commodore Montgomery, it is expected, will leave the Yard ina few days, when Commo- dore Radford will take possession of the Com- mandant’s quarters. Every officer of the Yard was present on the occasion, among them Commander Balch, who lately returned from a leave of absence, during which he very sensibly took to himself a charming bride PrErsonal.—See card elsewhere of Messrs.

The yaded Apyocste ses Ne ebelneri to = testimony o' lery yes! lay respecting Dr. Mudd’s trifling with the arteries ot men under. oing surgical operations, and stated that Dr. ites pronounced Dr. Mudd incapable of such an act, and thatthe arteries were necessarily allowed to spirt sometimes in order wo take them up properly. He fine Judge Advocate) wished to disclaim attac ing aBy importance to that teatitiony againet re udd. He would alco offer the consolidated return of the Ander- sonville prison for eight months, made by Capt. Wirz September 11th, 1564, as rebutting evidence to the testimony that Wirz was absent from his post on occount of sickness. E. W. Boate sworn for defence.— Witness was a prisoner at Andersonville from February till August, 1564. Was at Belle Island from Octo- ber, 1563, tll he went to Andersonville. The latter was much preferred to Belle Island. There the prisoners got only quarter rations. The prisoners who went Belle Island were sick and some died on the way. The first rations at Andersonville were one pound of meat, two cups of meal, and a few beans; some- times they received sweet potatoes. The Ta- tion diminished as the prisoners increased in number. The cook house was completed in April. The cooking was done by prisoners de- tailed for that purpose. The bi was burned on the outside and raw in the inside, so that the prisoners irequently threw their rations away. The swamp was improved in April, 80 as to reduce its extent, and furnish better water. The rations were stopped about the 17th of March for a short time. The men ‘were drawn up to be counted, and after being counted once went to other parts of the stock- aae, where they again reported themselves, so that the list gave from 1,700 to 2,000 more prisoners than were in the stockade. The ra- tions stopped until the count could be cor- rected. pt. Wirz told the prisoners he had no interest in stopping the rations, but was compelled to doso to get a proper list. Some of the men had rations left over from the pre- vious day, as the provisions then were not so scarce. Never heard of Capt. Wirz commit- ting any assault on prisoners there. Eftorts were made by Capt. Wirz to enlarge the stockade, and he called for men to come out of the stockade to do the work, saying that he could not get other labor. The men refused, saying that they had heard from new squads of prisoners that the Government would stop their pay and send them to the Dry Tortugas if they did any work for the enemy. An investigation was made when the mortality commenced, which showed that the greatest fatality was among those who came from Belle Island. Capt. Wirz gave the pris- oners stationery to get up a petition to the United States Government for their exchange, and promised to forward the petition to Wash- ington. During the called during the day tosee the President, were Hons. E.W. Watkins and W. L. Eskrigge, of the Grand Trunk delegation; General Grant, Gen, Cari Schurz, and Gov.
