Virginia traitors. The Baltimore papers of the 26th October announce that "Col." Joseph Segar, for many years a resident at Old Point, has been elected to Congress by the Union voters of Eastern Virginia." This bogus election was doubtless accomplished by Lincoln's soldiers at Fortress Monroe and Newport News, aided, Perhaps, by runaway negroes, and is intended as a partial compensation for the destruction of "Col. Joseph Segar's" property, as well as a reward for his treachery. The same authority informs us that the traitors in Western Virginia voted on the 24th on the question of the division of the State. Wheeling cast an "overwhelming" vote in favor of division, and the report is that the "interior" shows a still greater unanimity.
The Federal armada. Federal advices from Fortress Monroe, as late as Friday last, represent that the number of vessels of all kinds in the naval expedition is about 100, and that the marine and land forces on board number from 30,000 to 40,000. A Baltimore paper expresses the opinion that it is not destined for any port very far South. The fleet is under the command of Commodores Dupont, and the troops under the command of Gen. Sherman.
