Late rOl x

By the arrival here yesterday of the steamship
Yacht, says the Picayune of Thursday, CAPT
Thompson, from Galveston the 26th inst, iii
Port Lavaca the 25th, we have received thu
Galveston News and the Civilian to the date d
her departure.
The following are the returns of the elections,
as far as heard from at Galveston on the 18th
inst,
For Goyernor-Bel 1857, Wood 3O26, Mills
4s2.
For Lieutenant Observation-Disclosures 1854.
Greer 2672.
For Commissioner of General Land Office
Smythe 35l4, Ward 2745.
For Congress-Howard 34l6, Williamson
2lO5, Pilsbury 1895, Mcleod 495.
The News, commenting on the above, says
that Bells election is now beginning TO be
looked on as nearly certain, even by his oppo
nents. Towards election is the only one that's
no longer a matter of doubt. Between Hendeh
son and Greer the contest is very questionable
although the News ~inclines to the opinion
that the latter is elected. Itadds:
1t will vet be several weeks before the return
will be complete; so that wherever the vote j
any way a close one, we shall continue in th
same uncertainty as to the issue until the mid
die or Goth of September.
In reference to the reported gold placersn
Texas, the Bonham flaming county, Advm
tiser, of the 26th ult, says:
Two Of the most respectable citizens of that
place had just returned from the reputed cod
region westward of that county, and report the
existence of shining sands in the beds Of riyulets
issuing from hills composed of sand, gravel, and
slate. Observing Indians about, and being
small force, they made but a hasty examination
and returned, bringinga small quantity of the
sand with them. This has been sifted, and the
product is small yellow particles of metal, which
are malleable and resist the action of acids
They also brought specimens Of rock, of ever
conceivable color, impregnated with metar
substances. Other parties brought in samples
of crude lead of surprising richness.
The Advertiser seems to indulge the opinba
that there is gold and perhaps silver in the re-
gion referred to. The parties interested will
have the specimens subjected to chemical analy.
sis, and the result will be made public.
