Below will be found detailed statement
of the votes polled in this County on Mon
day and Tuesday last. The aggregate
vote for Governor in November was 685.
AT the late Election the vote polled for Ma
jor General was Goethe vote for Prentiss
and Davis COL; by which it appears, that
there were from 80 to 100 votes less given
in, than at the regular Election. Pren,iss'
vote is only 38 less than in November; so
that on full vote Of the County, We might
reasonably calculate on respectable gain
