The Latest Election News.

We gave in an extra on Saturday. contained in
io-dav's paper. the Geographic despatchesof Friday.
saving that the Wings had carried both Ohio and
Pennsylvania by a large majority Bnt in Satnr-
DAVIS Picavunr, we find the following despatch,
which changes the aspect of things pretty consider
abb, we should think:
CHARLESTON, Oct 70. O'Clock and 20 MIN
utes. P. M-The returns from Ohio show a con-
siderable democratic gain. The Democrats claim
Wel'a, az 81. cted.
Fifteen oonn'ies remain to be heard from in Penn
svlvania. Thomson gets Clay's vote in these
counties he will he elected Governor by about one
hundred majority.
The Courier. at the reception Of this news, hoists
the rooster. knocks the coon on its back, crows till
a dozen brandy sings. Bn, behold presto, change!
here is the despatch contained in the same paper of
Sunday, which places things about as they were at
first:
CHARLESTON, Oct. Ia.
PENNSYLVANIA The Wings have gained two
members of Congress in Pennsylvania. have a ma
iority ofabont ten in each branch of the Legislature
and have elected their Governor (Johnson) by near
ly six thousand majority.
OHIo-Ther returns from Ono are contradictory.
Returns from Western Reserve indicate the elec-
ton Of Ford (Whig) by about FIVE thousand. The
excitement is very great. A despatch from Wheel
ing claims the State for the Democrats:
The Democrats have elected their Governor and
gained three members of Congress. The Wings
Claim the Legislature.
We are ahead so far. that's certain, and if we
don't crow while we are able, it's our fault.

HsGH>HANDED Acr.-Some days since, says the
Crescent of last Friday, a new steamer named the
Mameluke, arrived here from Cincinnati, under
Command of Capt. McCulloch. She was owned
either by Capt. McCnlIoch or his son, and on her
arrival here was seized by sheriff Lewis for debts
due by the parties. A keeper was placed on her
by the Sheriff, and she remained at the wharf until
Wednesday morning last. AT 9 or 3 o'clock that
morning, Capt. McCulloch's son, aided by his IA
ther, gagged the keeper, an old man. tied him and
put him in a state room. They then, with the help
of some hands, got up steam and started up the
river, with the keeper still on board, until they ar,
rived at the parish Of 81. Charles, when they re-
leased him, and, having landed him, proceeded up
the river. As soon IS sheriff Lewis found the boat
gone, he sent a dispatch by telegraph TO the sheriff
Of East Baton Rouge, requesting him to seize her
when she passed and arrest those on board. An
answer was received that she had not yet passed
that point. Since then several officers have gone
on a steamer in pursuit Of her, with the requisite
authority from the Governor to have the boat seized
and the guilty parties brought to justice, should
they be found beyond the limits Of the State. The
taking off the vessel under such circumstances is
technically highway robbery.
