GEORGIA SENATORIAL ELECTION.

We mentioned in our last the results OF two
ballotings which took place in the Georgia Legis-
ature on the 18th instant for Senator in Congress
The joint meeting baloted as many as twelve times
before adjourning, but without making choice.
On the twelfth trial the ballots stood for DAWSON
(Whig) 9S, MAoALLIsTER Dem 80, MCDONALD
Dem go The joint meeting then postponed the
business to the following Monday (this day. and
adjourned.
There is considerable majority of Democrats IN
both Houses of the Legislature, and it appears that
some of them must have voted for Mr.. DAWSON, or,
being unwilling to vote against him, did not vote
at all Nor is this surprising, considering his
general popularity in the State with both parties
as is the case Eve may venture the remark here at
Washington for, although Mr. D. is a thorough
Whig, such is the standing which his liberality and
personal bearing have given him in the Senate thai
we very much question whether majority OF the
Democratic gentlemen in that body would not
since it could not affect the Democratic ascendancy
in it-be glad to see him reelected to the sea-
| which he fills so valuably

that portion Of the swamp land fund should lie allowed

and morasses in the rear Of the city.

SILVER AND GOLD FROM THE GILA AND COPPER
MINES IN NEW MEXICO.

Yesterday we had the opportunity Of examining some
specimens of gold brought in by Major Steen, Of the
United States Dragons from the vicinity Of the Copper
Mines in New Mexico in the neghborhood Of Fort Web
ster where he has been stationed The specimen is from
surface washngs but sufficient to show that the precious
metal exists there and subsequent washings will doubt
less prove its existence in larger quantities.
Major Steen has also sample of the gold found on
the river San Pedro which empties into the ella river
from the SOUTH in the Mexican province Of Sonora near
where the boundary line between the United States and
Mexico, projected by Mr. Bartlett strikes the Ga.
The San Pedro is the only entering the Ga from
the south. Beyond the mountains are the ranches of
San Bernardno and Santa Cruz and on the other side OF
the San Pedro is Taos-Leon, places mentioned by COL
Cook in his Expedition to California. 1t is from this
mine that the gold bullets used by the Indians pro-
cured Mr. Aubrey aludes to them, and DIR. Abade, of
the United States army, sent some Of them TO Major
Walker of this city
The Major has also specimens of silver from the mines
of Saint Andrews which supposed TO be the richest
that have yet been discovered The specimens were OBJ
tanned by melting the in an iron ladle in common
fire. The mines in northeast direction from Don
Ana and about eighty miles from Ell Paso. The Major
says that the silver is smeed with much and
facility as the common galena. q.
