MISSISSIPPI, pREss.-The Rodney Te!'-

MIssIssIrpI ELEcTIoSS.--We have re-
ccivcd complete returns from almost ever,
county in the State, and the result is mos
ila.terin. to the Wing cause. The vote fol
Governor shows IA majority of more than
2,Co0 for the Wings, al hongh it is wei
known that many wings voted for McNutt
because they believed it would be inposS
be for Wing to be elected when they la,
two candidates in the field.
Messrs Prentiss and Word have received
large majority of the votes of the State
and had the Shcriffs made proper returns
their vote would have been, at least, ,50a
or 1000 more than the returns show. A
large majority of the State have delegate
these gentlemen TO represent tbom in the
25th Congress-if the voice Of the people
be not obcyed in this instance, we may ex-
pee, an angry tempest in Mississippi.
The Hon James Phillips, Wing, is elect
ed Treasurer of the State, Tho. +. Collins,
Whi-, Attorney General, by handsome ma
jsrises.
DR.. b. w. Benson is elected Secretary of
State, and 4. B. Saunders, Auditor Of Pub
lie Accounts. Both these gentlemen were
supported Ly both parties.
The political complexion Of the Lcgizla-
ture is unhnown-both parties claim major
tiles. Local questions in very many in
stances, decided the result Of The election.
There is, without doubt. majority ia the
Legislature in favor of National Bank.
We are sure that Mississippi is anti-ad-
administrations hv an overwhelming maioriiy
