vernments, ours having determined to hold on to them as hostages, in consequence of the infamous orders of Pope and Steinwehr. S. S. Mann, a very intelligent Yankee, the sutler of the 16th Massachusetts, captured in the brilliant cavalry dash made by Gen. Stuart, has been paroled for sixty days to go North and negotiate an exchange of himself for Judge Geo. W. Thompson, a citizen of Wheeling, recently seized by the Yankees for disloyalty, and a Yankee sutler named Everlith, now here, for Samuel Price, Esq, a leading lawyer of Greenbrier, member of the late Convention, seized by the Yankees during one of their recent raids in that vicinity. The son of Mann, (who is a wealthy citizen of Boston,) now also here, will be offered in exchange for Mr. Lyon, a son-in-law of Mr. Norris, a leading lawyer of Baltimore, who fled from that place to escape the clutches of Lincoln Myrmidons. Lyon, his son-in-law, was not so fortunate. Doubtless, as Mr. Mann, the Yankee sutler, has position, money,
Escaped from the Yankees. Samuel Price, Esq., a member of the Virginia Convention, who was arrested in Greenbrier county, Va., by the Yankees, has escaped from his captors and arrived safely at his home. He was in Charleston, Kanawha, when our troops captured that place, and the Yankees were too busy running away to carry him with them. He was in his room during the fight, and after it was over came out a free man, the town then being in the hands of the Confederate troops, under Gen. Loring.
d of Public Works for the Northwestern District, take place on Thursday next. For the office of Governor there are now but three candidates, Messrs. Hubard and Goggin having formally withdrawn. Those still in the field are Col. George W. Munford, of this city, Col. Thomas S. Flournoy, of Halifax, and Gen. William Smith, of Culpeper. For Lieutenant Governor a number of gentlemen have been named, mostly by newspaper correspondents. Two have been authoritatively put forward, viz: Samuel Price, of Greenbrier, and General J. D. Imboden, of Augusta. General John Echols, of Monroe, and James W. Sheffey, of Smythe, have been nominated in the papers. For Attorney General, J. Randolph Tucker has no opposition for re-election. For Congress and for the Assembly the candidates are abundant, and the canvass has been as animated as the state of war will permit. A number of counties being at this time in the enemy's lines, the elections for them will be made under a special law
ded down the canal until she met the Emily, and made her an easy prey. From Vicksburg. The Chronicle publishes rebel dispatches from Richmond journals of the 14th and says: "Accounts of the operations of Grant's army to the 17th do not differ materially from the rebel reports already published. The impression is gaining ground that Grant is perfect master of his situation. Warrenton is in our possession, and trains are hauling stores from that point. It is reported at Helena that Price and Marmaduke have a force of 10,000 strong at Wittsburg. Greensville, Miss., a town of some 400 inhabitants, is entirely destroyed." Grant's move is a splendid need of during which will place his name above that of all others in this war. It will be won by his daring, or all will be lost in irretrievable defeat. He landed sixty miles below Vicksburg. The object was Haines's Buff, the key of Vicksburg — as good as an open door, and thus will save life and consummate our wishes.--He

The elections. The State elections will probably, many of them, remain in doubt for some time. The choice of Governor, from the returns received, lies between Messrs. Smith and Flournoy. The result must be settled by the army vote, and it will be some time before it can be received. So is it with reference to the Lieutenant Governor, for which Messrs. Price and Imboden are the leading candidates Several of the Congressional Districts are left in the same situation. The army has the casting vote. For Congress, Messrs. Wickham, in the Richmond District, and Collier, in the Petersburg District, have such majorities as to settle the question and fix them as the representatives elect. Mr. Bocock had no opposition in the Buckingham District, and Mr. Rives none in the Albemarle District. In the Augusta District the contest between General Baldwin and Governor Letcher has been very animated perhaps the most excited in the election. This may be kept in doubt, also, by the arm
From, Fredericksburg. [from our own correspondent.] Fredericksburg, May 28, 1863. Another election to-day under the guns of the enemy! The result as follows: Whole number of votes cast 98--For Governor: Smith, 64; Flournoy, 29, Munford, 5. For Lieut-Governor: Price, 44; Imboden, 51. For Attorney General: Tucker, 93. For Congress: DeJarnett, 70; Barbour, 25. For House of Delegates: John L. Marye, Jr, 95. The election passed off quietly. Of course the enormous throng of voters rushing to the polls was not apparent to the spectator. I forgot to mention that Seddon got 8 refugee votes for the Senate, and Taliaferro Voting in the camps, I think, was not very lively. The indications and speculations here are to the effect that the Yankees are evacuating Stafford county. Their Cavalry are said to have gone up the river and they have been seen going over the hills in large numbers to-day. A balloon was hauled up from Phillips's House towards Falmouth, and looked as i
