the Mississippi and Tennessee regiments, and the
"a regiment of Texas rihemen, (dismounled,) have

and have driven him with considerable loss to the
plaza and its vicinity, which is yet strongly occu-
pied portion Of the I'd division has also adj
vanced into the town the right, and holds posi-

stubborn resistance.

cesses OF yesterday and to-day, though disastrous
to the enemy, have been achieved without material
loss.

GEORGIA CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION

The accounts from this State indicate pretty GER
tainly the return Of FIVE democrats and three wings
TO the 30th Congress. The following counties OF
the only two doubtful districts in the State, both Of
which gave majoriIies last year 10 Gov Crawford
(whig) have been heard from, which warrant the
confident belief that democrats have been chosen
in each.

30 DrsrRIcr-s COUNTIES.


Campbell, not heard from.
Two counties reTAin to be heard from in this dis
trct, Henry and Campbell The former gave a
wing majority Of some 30 votes in 1874, whilst the
latter gave democratic majority Of $50. General
Haralson's election is, therefore, almost certain.
In the % district, the county Of Museogee gives
Crawford, (whig,) majority Of some 80 votes over
his democratic competitor, Judge lVerson. The
same county, in 1874, gave Crawford 80 majority,
This ID the district represented by the talented
Col Seabom Jones, who declineda denomination.
We have seen a reliable letter from Rome, Floyd
county, Georgia, dated on the 7th instant, which
says that in the three counesof that congressional
district already heard from, Col Lumkin, the pres
ent democratic member of Congress, has obtained
800 majority and that If the remaining counties
do well in proportion, his majority will reach
some 5000

gis by last nights mail, bat have not for par
