Charles W. Russell. The vote received by this gentleman yesterday, for the office of Senator from Virginia to the Confederate Congress, was a commitment well deserved. It could not have been bestowed on one more worthy as a patriot, and a patriot who has proved his devotion by his sacrifices.

which was agreed to. The remainder of the day was taken up by a lengthy and spirited debate on the bills introduced by Mr. Miles, of S. C., on the part of the Military Committee, and Mr. Foote, of Tenn., providing for the destruction of cotton and tobacco, and other property useful to the enemy, by our military commanders, and compensation to those whose property was thus destroyed. Messrs. Miles, Conrad, Foots, Curry, Baldvin, Smith of Va., Boyes, Pryor, Dargan, Beiakall, Davis, Russell, and Wright of Ga., participated in the debate. Mr. Curry said, if there be a man, or a woman, in Alabama, who is not willing himself to put the torch to every lock of cotton, rather than it should fall into the hands of the enemy, he hoped the Yankees might burn him. He did not approve of destroying property unnecessarily, and moved to amend the bill by substituting for the words "about to fail into the hands," &c., "when it may be necessary to prevent the same from falling into the h

Medical College of Virginia. --The annual commencement of the Medical College of Virginia was held at the African Church last night, the address to the graduates being delivered by Hon. Charles W. Russell, of Wheeling. The well-established reputation of this gentleman for oratory of a high order suffered no diminution with the hundreds who heard his able address.

n that no one of them seems to possess these qualifications in so eminent a degree as the Hon. Charles W. Russell, of Wheeling. The considerations already adduced would lead us to prefer this geonwealth; and surely in no possible way could Virginia better attest, than by the election of Mr. Russell, her fixed and stern determination to insist, at every cost, upon the whole of her ancient bose considerations which led so many of the members of the Legislature to cast their votes for Mr. Russell at the last election. Without any special effort in his favor, he then came very near being elected. Since that time Mr. Russell's course in Congress has added largely to his reputation. In the House of Representatives he is justly regarded as one of the ablest men of the body, and the ression, it is not unreasonable to conjecture that the choice of the Legislature will fall upon Mr. Russell; and as no possible objection can be urged to him, we believe his election would give general

The Legislature. Another day was yesterday consumed by this body in a fruitless effort to vote for a Confederate States Senator. No new names were put in nomination, but members indulged in advocating the claims of those presented the previous day, viz: Hon. W. C. Rives, Hon. Chas. W. Russell, Judge John J. Allen, and Gen. John B. Floyd. Mr. Barbour, of Culpeper, has the floor for 10 o'clock this morning in favor of Gen. Floyd.
