ELECTIONS

GEoRGIA.-By different sources inoGicial re-
turns have been received from 3S counties; from
alt which, II appears that the Troup ticket has at
present majority of about 3720-There are vet
~ counties TO be heard from. These are situated On
the Southern and Western limits of The state; mos
OF them on the West; Is of them being Immediately
on the Western line, touching those which are
so situated. Most of these will probably give
maJorIes 10 Clark; but, on the other hand, they are
generally small counties Perhaps The largest one
yet 10 be heard from, is Franklin which RI es as the
10th county in populations; containing BIZ the last
census 904O souls. On the whole, the only certain
conclusion to which we can arrive is that if Troup
be elected, his majority will be considerably short
OF what his most sanguine friends have anticipated
This being the first time in Georgia that the Co
vernon has been chosen by the votes of the people;
and the eyes of the whole country being recently
turned with extreme interest 10 the controversy
about the Creeks, the result oil the election has ex-
cited much solicitude in every quarter.
