NEW ORLEANS:
THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 80, 1s4s.

THE TEXAS ELEcTIoNs.-Th Galveston News,
Of the 18th, speaks thus of the election and the re-
turns 1t will be seen that our table gives returns
from several additional counties both east and west
of the Trinity; but these returns only serve to d.
minish Bells total majority to about 25OO. Bells
election is now beginning to be looked upon as
nearly certain, even by his opponents. Towards
election is the only one that is no longer matter
Of doubt. We had supposed that Smythes election
was involved in less uncertainty than any other,
on the huppOsition that he would receive a very
large majority in the eastern counties but the re-
turns rather Indicate the reverse. Between Hem
derson and Greer the contest is very questionable
though we incline 70 the opinion that the latter is
elected. Il will yet be several weeks before the
returns will be complete 90 that wherever the vote
is anyways close one, we shall continue in the
same uncertainty TO the issue, until the middle
or 10Th of September The result Of the Presiden-
tlal election in France was made known to us in
almost half the time required TO bring us the re-
turns from our extreme eastern and northern coun-
ties. We commend this item of intelligence to the
Post-office and Mail Department in Washington"
The Civilian of the Dist says eve have no
election returns from further east than Houston
county. Col. Bell is long way ahead for Cover
nor, thus far, but the result still doubtful. Col
Howard is unquestionably elected TO Congress.
The result for Lieut.. Governor is doubtful"

The WICHITA GoLD.-The Houston Telegraph
Of the 2Sd, says that the excitement about Gold in
the Wichita mountains continues
We learn from gentleman who has lately ar
rived from the eastern frontier, that the gold e1-
element in that section has increased to great ex-
tent Hundreds of eager emigraHts are flocking to
the Wichita mountains. All were confident that
as valuable mines would be found there as in Cali
forna. Ii was estimated that not less than fifteen
hundred persons had gone from the Red River
counties to the mountains, and many were starting
daily from the settlements. 1t is a singular fact
however, that not one on the frontier had seen any
specimen of gold from these mountains, and none
could tell where the mines were located. We have
been informed that these mountains have fiat table,
like submits, and the rocky strata composing them
are arranged in horizontal layers. If this is the
case the report that the ore that has been found in
them and mistaken for gold is sulphuret of iron, is
in all probability correct, as gold is found in the
strati6ed rocks"

From THE Ell PAso TRooPs.-The Western
Texan tSan ADtonio,) of the 16th gives the latest
from the U. S. troops marching towards Ell Paso:
Mr.. J. T. Peacock arrived in town yesterday,
direct from Preside del Norte, in seventeen days
with a wagon. He ieft the army on the 7th, at
the Rio Pecos. The army had crossed, and the
balance of the train would cross in a day or two
The officers and men were all in fine health and
at Ell Paso from the 10th to the Goth of September
The army found good road with plenty of grass
and water. The road is considered good-a good
natural road. Our informant says there are not
more than half dozen hard pulls over ascents
from here to the Pecos, and from there the way is
fine on to Ell Paso. The army has left good road
for all those who msy wish to take that route Mr.
Peacock found no difficulty in travelling with his
wagon from the Preside to San Antonio"

FIRE FROM LIGHTNING. - The Georgetown
IS. c. Observer of the 22d has the following
"The large, new and valuable mansion of Fran
els NJ. Weston, at his old family residence, in the
neighborhood of this place called Laurel HILL was
consumed the latter part of the first week in this
month The building was regarded among the first
in all the parishes and the internal and other ar
rangements, it is said, would favorably compare
with the best arranged in any country. Mr. Yves
ton has passed most of his summers in Europe and
has had observation enough to make himselfa resi-
dence combining every comfort The site, the
trees, and the lawn were determined on by his an
cestry more than half century ago, and the oaks
planted. The house was made near the comforta-
BILE old family residence and completed the last
spring only. Mr.. Weston was absent at the time
either on tour to Europe or the mountains and
VIII, OF course, regret to hear Of his loss. Most Of
his furniture was saved, large body of his ser
wants were In the immediate neighbOrhoOd of the
disaster, at the time the house was struck"
