MISCELLANEOUS.
Hon. David Murray, q prominent citizen of
Utica, ard member Of the New York State Legis
lature in 1862, died at his residence in that county
on the 7'h irst.
We learn rom Quebec that the Legislative As
#mbly had come to an understanding to vote
sum of money, amounting to about one hundred
thousacd dollars, for the relef of the widows end
orphans of the solder rs who we're killed in the late
battles Of the allied army in the war against
Russia.
Three men we're killed at Marcellus, In this State,
yesterday, by the cavirg in Of an embankment.
Their mr. es were not sscertained.

The Election-scymour the Governor-Wood
the MayOr-Seward Circumvented.
Our returns are Incomplete; but we think
they settle the question who is Governor. Sey-
nour is evidently the man. A plurality ex-
ceeding nine thousand in this city and the
heavy turnout OF some of the northern coun-
ties in his behalf, have done the work. This
postpones the Maine liquor law for at least
two years to come. The result, however, is
due to the diversion ty the Know Nothings of
q large wbig silver gray and Know Nothing
vote upon Ullman. The opponents of the pro
posed despotic and absolute liquor prohibition
are, therefore, indebted to the disgust excited
by the anti-elavery Affiliations of the Seward
platform for the defeat of Clark and his bill of
pains and penalties.
The most remarkable feature in this election
is the heavy vote for Ullman in the western
counties, where it was supposed the abolition
coalition majorities would be rolled up by thou
ands. On the other hand, Clark picks up
mazingly in the northern counties, of which !
st. Lawrt nee "a small State in ITSELF is the !
;hef; and here, too Seymour RECEIVERS his lost
ground, while Uilman falls away behind We
,an only account fer this from the superstition
hat the people Of the northern counties are
,ot much troubled concerning the Pope of
Rome, or that the Know Nothings have neglect
I'd their system Of organization in that quarter
Of the commonwealth.
The Know Nothing candidates for Lieutenant
for Canal Commissioner and State
Prison Inspector are most probably elected,
Judging from the run of our scattering figures
The Congressional returns indicate the pres
sure Of the Nebraska question to be decidedly
against the bill, and the administration, with
Know Nothing or two In this city,
where the Seward coalition have been go sig
tally beaten in other respects. they are left
grain of comfort or two in the overthrow of
Mike Walsh, Nebraska hard shell, in the re. cleo
ton of John Wheeler, anti Nebraska hard shell
I'd in the fact that from defeat, designations or
not one Of our city Nebraska mem.
bers Of the present Congress is re elected. We
imagine, however, that it was the personal
popularity of John Wheeler, and the presence of
three opposing candidates in his district-ah hard
shell, soft shell and whig-that had more to
do with his election than his opposition to the
Nebraska bill.
The opposition to the Seward coalition for
The Assembly have been doing very well
From present appearances, it will bother the
friends of the arch-agitator to secure his re-
election to the United States Senate, even
should they have q nominal majority OF the
over house.
