MISTAKE IN THE VOTE FOR GOVERNOR.
In summing up the returnssat the Capitol, think a
mistake has been made of about 1000, whereby Gov
nor Johnscns maiority is made to appear that much
more than it really is Instead Of s,4s7 on correctly
adding the returns published in the Enquirer of the
l7h the true majority will be found to be about 500
There IL, however, obvious mistake of 300 in the
vote OF Page county which. corrected, will make
$500. But the unreported counties gave Summers a
majority OF about 3o0 watch brings it back to 800
Possibly there is mistake of 100 in Lunenbure. If
so, it makes the majority $500, and this is all OF
abou. all.
Inc vote Tor Lieut.. Governor is nearly correct
Wattss vote falls short of Summerss;by about 3. 600
whist Leakes is short of Johnson's only about 1000
making difference in the majority of 2,6OO. which
added to Johnson's majority OF $780, gives $500
which agrees with the majority of Leake as publish

Miss OkkHNINE HAYS Concert Saturday even

the beauty, fashion and taste of the city. To say
it proved rare musical treat to the large and d.
criminative audienee present, would family con-
vey 10 the render an idea Of the exquisite delight
it afforded. Miss Hays captvated her audience
by the sweet and varied powers Of her voice.
Few who heard her. we imagine will hesitate to
accord TO her rank equal to Miss Lind The
solos of Mr.. Kyle were rare display of perfec-
ton on the fute-indeed, in his hands, that ia
vourite instrument seemed 10 be gifted with pow
ers of enchantment. Eerr Nengs also added
greatly to the entertainments of tn, eve ming, by
his excellent singing. His voice "a rich b,ry~
tone) is well modulated, and capable of adapta-
ton to every variety of song. His Swiss air was
one OF the gems of the evening" and elected the
warmest applause.
We regret the inability Of Miss Hays to re-
peat her rare entertainments; and trust she will
visit us again on her return from the South.

or with any eye save to the welfare OF the state ana
the stability OF her cherished institutions.
The State Rights Convention assembled In
Jackson on the 7th inst. The correspondent OF
the Courier says the convention did but little, and
that little only injured their cause. The speeches
made displayed only venom and hate against the
Union Democracy, made the breach wider, and
showed most concusivey that the Union party
must remain true to Itself and to its members, or
else the State would be given over to men, who
lacked but the opportunity to again set in motion
schemes to dissolve the Union. On the second
day of the session Of the convention, quite an
excitement was raised by the introduction by Mr..
Barry of Octibbeha of resolution denying the
power to the General Government, 10 coerce
seeding State; in other words, affirming the right
bed by the cores pondent of the Courier:
''lnsautly hubbub raised in the camp; if the
resolution was voted! down, State Righsm was at
once abandoned; the Qumahs, Hsrrises, Guions
&c would be driven from the party, and all the do

of last year abandoned On the other hand If the re-
solution passed the Uuion democracy rude

give 1t the go-bye but he failed. The Ocubbeha re-
preventative remained firm, and was sustained by
| Gen. Qultman. who supported the resolution, now
that It had been introduced, and was unwilling to

democrats. Another speaker honestly and truthfully
suggested, that 10 reject the resolution COM
