TIE AUGUST ELECTIONS.

KEYrUcKY.-The Congressional delegation from
this State are politically divided in the last Con-
cress-fye Wings and i've Democrats-one Of the
STRONGEST Wing districts in the State having been
lost by divisions among the Wings themselves, who
kept three candidates in the field until it was too
late to unite their Strength. The names Of the
members elect are, BRNJAMIN Il. GREY, PRESLEY
EWING CLEMENT S.HILL, WILLIAM PRESTON,
Sand LEANDER NJ. Cox Wings; LINN BOYD, JAMES
B. CHRIsMAN, John ". ELLIOT, j. G. BREcKEY-
RIDGE, and II. III. iTANToN, Democrats. The
Wings have elected very large majority Of the
members of the State Legislature, who will have it
in their power to electa United States Senator.
TENNESSEE CONTRARY to the first report, it ap-
pears that ANDREW Johnson, Democrat, has been
elected Governor of tbs State, by quite large
jority. The Congressional election has resulted, we
believe, in the clectim Of four Wings and six De-
mocrats, viz: WM. CULLUM, CHARLES READY,
FELIX r. ZoLLIcoFER, and EMERSON ETHEREDGE,
Wings; BRooKINs CAMPBELL, VIM. NJ. CHURCH
WELL, SAM. A. SINH, GEo w. JONES, STEPHEN
G. PAvATT and FREDERICK p. STANTON, Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. STANTON is elected, according to Demo
cratic ports, by majority Of two votes, whilst the
Wings claim the election of his Wing competitor,
EDWIN ". YERGER, by a majority of seven votes.
We know not which right. There is also some
doubt whether Mr.. CULLUM or his opponent,
G. L. GARDENHIRE, is elected in the first district.
1t IS stated that the Wings will have majority in
the State Legislature, upon which will devoye the
duty of electing United States Senator.
MIssoURI-Whigs have been elected to Con-
gross in each of the two new districts, making the
delegation from this State in the next Congress
stand four Wings and three Democrats, viz SAM
CARUTHERs, JOHN j. LINDLEY, JOHN G. MILLER
and MoRDEcAI OLIVER, Wings; THOMAS II. Ben
TON, A. W. LAMB, and JNo. s. PHELPS, Democrats
No Legislature was chosen this year.
NORTH CARoIINA.-Three Wings and four De
mocrats are elected to Congress from this State
leaving one district to be heard from. The Wings
are, Sion H. RoGERs, JOHN KERR, and RICHARD
9. PURYEAR The Democrats are, I'll. NJ. SHAW,
THOMAS RUFFIN, WM. S. AsHE, and BURTON
CRAIeE. The result in the eighth district, lately
represented by Mr.. CLINGMAN, is not yet ascer-
tanned. He was opposed by BURGESS GATHER,
Wing
ALABAMA.-The following gentlemen have been
elected to Congress: PHILIP PHILIPS, JAS ABER-
cRoMBIE, SAMPSON w. HARRIS, VIM r. SMITH,
GEo. s. HousToN, w. r. w. CoBB, JAMES f.
DowDELL. Mr.. ABERCRoMBIE is the only Wing
in the delegation. john A. WINSTON is elected
Governor, Democrat of course, and majority of
the Legislature are of the same politics. Two
United States Senator's are to be elected by this
Legislature.
ARKANsAs.-We have but few returns from this
State There is no reason to doubt, however, that
the Democratic candidates for Congress, A. B.
GREENWOOD and H. A. WARREN, have been elected,
TExAs.-This State also, we presume, has elect
ed two Democratic members of Congress, GEORGE
w SMITH and D. w. r. ScURRY. A Governor
was also chosen, but, amongst the many competi-
tors for the Office it is not yet known who is the
successful candidate.
