 From the New Orleans papers, we learn that the Hon. E. D. White has been elect e9 Governor of. Louisiana by majority of about 2000 votes over Judge Dawson.-- The Hon. Henry Johnson IS elected from the lst Congressional district, General Rip ley from the 2d, and the Hon. Rice Gar land from the 3d. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Garland are opposed to the present Ad- ii1inistration--Gen Ripley is in favor of it
 The New Orleans Gourier-the organ of the Dawson party--thus humorously no- tices the result
 Our opponents have beaten US most shamefully-and to mortify us much as pos- sible, they mustered a strong force, and with music at its head, paraded the streets until , late hour in the morning, disturb ing the slumbers of honest Democrats with as Unwelcome sounds as ever fell up- on their ears, Ne had got into our second nap, and into delightful dream about the honors that were to fall 10 our lot in cer- tain ereat, when the dream destroying nu- SIC passed under our window. '' Hurfah for White,o cried a fellow, just as we pop ped our head out the casement-f Hurrah for Dawson," mattered we, popping our head in again as soon as possible. What yillainous world Is this, thought we, ai tbat moment, where one part of the people are so immoral and irreligious, as openly to re- ioice over the misfortunes of another; and we settled the thing in our own mind before ssd the .ptsssert to sleep, that If NE had been victorious, we would neither have crotved nor cackled, but would have retired to rest, as we did aader deteat, like peaceful citi- zens, at an early hour. But there is no accounting for the conduct of some folks We understand that our contemporary of the Bee was parttcutcrfy honored by the se- renaders, and that the "Dead March," (some say the $ Rogue's') was struck up before his office, and played to great applause.-- We are no judge of music ourself, but we thought the tune inflicted upon us was There IS ma luck about the house." Be this as 1t may, 1t was very good tune, and very well played-and We are always thank ful for smaH favors.
 We have made diligent inquiries, and we cannot learn that there was single Daw- son man concerned in last nights serenade. The Dawson men went to bed as soon as the last vote was counted-some of them C 6Hle before; not that they had the horrors as their enemies maiiciously affirm, but that they were andisposed (under the cir cumstances) to take any part in proceed ings which had for their object the disturb ,ance of their fellow citizens at the midnight hour. It was highly creditable to them not to do so, and we mention the fact as an ex- ample of their punctilious regard for the peace and order of the city.
 JULY l6.-We have further returns to- day of the election, but they do not inspire us with the least hope. Gen. Walker, 1t appears, IS beaten in the third Congression- al district by Mir. Garland-making our de- feat total and complete. Our not being accustomed to disasters of this sort, rem ders them peculiarly unpleasant. In our palIny days, when the Opposition people trembled at our "waked wrath.o and the ballot boxes were wont to give better &C., count of themselves, we were as merry as crickets. But this unexpected reverse has unsettled our humor, and we feel all the horrors of a cast down minority. To be sure the Wings hav'n't crowed over US much; but their forbearance in this respect, is doubtless owing to the sympathy they feel for our unhappy situation.
 When t was our good fortune to beat the people who now call themselves Wings, We had not the least pity for them-it was exquisite pleasure to us to fog them-be- cause when they were clearly "used up," they would cry out victory'' as Justify as though they had gained 1t, and never in single instance would they confess tben- selves beaten. There was pluck in their conduct, that's certain, but it used to pro- 1 yoke us amazingly, and we only regretted,
