gers was Col. Ward, U. S. Consul at Fan
ANA. The steamer Falcon was to leave on

Empire City had arrived on the 9th anu lett
for New Orleans.
The Gubernatorial vote az published IN
onr papers this morning is as conflicting as
ever, some showing majority one way and
some another. It is therefore useless to
give any more figures until the official can
vass takes place.
Another exciting and enthusiastic meeting
of the Know Nothings took place in the
park last night About 10000 were pres
ent. Resolutions were passed denouncing
the fraud and corruption Practised at the
late election, determining to contest the
election of Wood as Mayor, and refusing to
permit him to be sworn in until he has le-
gally proved his right. One Of the speak
ers said that il Wood went to the city on New
Years day, he would have to walk over
dead bodies. A committee, including the
names Of Erastus Brooks of the Express, j.
r. Spaulding of the Courier and Enquirer,
and James Harper of the Times, was ap-
pointed to receive contributions for contest
ing the election. 1t WINS also resolved that
the Chief Of Police should discharge every
foreigner from his department. There was
some disturbance caused by n target COM
pany passing through the Park. No vio-
lence occurred. The Know Nothings para
ded the streets after the meeting, several
strong. John NJ. Clayton was
expected but was not present.
The ship New Era was boarded this morn
ing by wreck boats. and all the passengers
that are remaining will be saved. A great
number of bodies have been washed ashore
during the night. Mr.. Morris and his mem
have persisted Five bodies were found this
morning within four hundred yards of the
telegraph office The ship is very much
broken up, but the masts are still standingI
and passengers are clinging to the rigging.
Bosroy, Nov. IA.
The Atlas of this morning gives the re-
suit Of the election as follows. We believe
we have returns from los towns which are
all but 81 in the State. From there it APP
pears that Henry Gardner is elected Gov
ernor by the following vote which will not
be essentially changed by the towns yet to
hear from:
Gardner 1918, Washburn &c, 1875, Bish-
OPP 1895, Wilson 5,5lS, Wales Ais, all
others TAI The majority for Gardner,
Know Nothing, is 1895. Simon Brown,
of Concord, is chosen Lieut.. Governor by |
a vote corresponding with the above. The
same returns show that r. B. Hall, Buffing-
ton, Damerall, Comyns, Borlingame, Davis
Banks, Knapp, Dewitt, Norris, and Graf
ton have been elected in the eleven Con-
gressional Districts of the State They
were all nominees of the Know Nothing
order. In like manner the Legislature
has been swept by the same organization
They have chosen in all probability ev-
cry member Of the State Senate, and of
34S members Of tho House of whose cleo
tions 81 are Know Nothngs. are elected.
Such political revolution we have never
before witnessed or experienced.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.
The Union of this morning expresses the
hope that the decree against Mr.. Soule was
issued under misnp prehension of facts and
that the Emperor will make ample repara-
ton.
The run on the Trans Allegheny, the
Darlington, the Old Dominion, and the Ke-
nawha Banks and also on the Exchange
Bank Of Seldom, Withers & Co., still con-
tinues and each bank conticues redeeming
its own notes and those of others.
