"Virginia. - The papers contain numerous notices of the recent tragedy in Richmond, resulting in the death of Mr. Hoyt. The Tribune gives the following summary of the aifair : Hoyt, it seems, was a single man, living in Richmond, and keeping a lottery office. At his hotel hc became acquainted with Mrs, Virginia Myers, wife of a Virginia gentleman,, herself of a gooc family of that vicinity. A criminal pasoion was mutually indulged by them,but it appears not to have proccedeil to that extent which the judgment of the worlc regards as absolute crime. Clandestine interviews and an exceedingly impropei correspondence, exhibiting an utter alienation of Mrs. Myers' offection from huBband and her entire devotion to Hoyt, Lre the gist of offence. 'f hese were detected by Mrs. Myers' father, by him communicatotHoherhusband, andhe, anc his brotber, with another proceeded to Hoyt's private room, found him in bed, commanded him to sign a paper promising to leave that part of the country forever, and on his refusal to do so, shot him through thehead, so that he died a few days afterward. Th is is the act which we have strong intimations, both Judicial and Editorial, was plainly excusable if not absolutely justifiable. Now it in no wise appears that Hoyt sought the acquaintance of this lady- that he cherished any designs upon her virtue, fsuch as it was) or was in any way her seducer or tempter. The woman seemsto have been the master spirit of the intrigue - wñs believe her the originator of the correspondence. Her passion seems to have been the more vehement and overruling throughout ; she is incessantly importuing Hoyt to runaway with her, which he declines to do ; and itia very evident that exemption from the last degree of guilt in the premisesisto be credited to his forbearance.
