The ELEcrIoN.-We received no papers of last
week from Little Rock, consequently have but
little additional information of the result of the
election. We were shown a letter from a gentle
man Of Little Rock, dated the 2lst, which says,
Wilson's prospects appear the most favorable
some of the strong Democratic counties having
given him ma jorties. Tie returns received
net sufficient to determine with certainty, who is
elected as yet, but the Wings have preten-
sions. Should we be SO fortunate as to receive
another mail in the course of a week or two, we
may be able to furnish our readers with the final
result. 1t depends altogether upon MIR. Ham
mond's horses--f they should hold out we may get
mail in that tme--but if they fail--the thing is
out.
The following, constitutes all the additional in
formation we have received since our last.
Sewer county--majority for Wilson l6.
Ouachita county-majori,y for Wilson H.
Lafayette county--majority for Wilson l2--
Union and Dallas probable majortes for Wilson
Conway county has given Roane of majQri-
ty, and Independence "a Polk, Roape's major
