tom Civilian from Is counties out of 81 vot-
ing counties (Uvalde and Kinney voting with
Bexar) foot up as follows:
For governor-Elisha M. Pease, dem.,

lieutenant governor, in same counties-H.
Richard Runels, dem., has a majority of 1862

missioner, in all the counties but nine-Cros-

democrat.
Peter Ii. Bells democratic majority for
Congress in the western district is about

Matthew Ward, dem., and Evans, kno w
nothing. In all the counties but three the
vote stood-Ward, 9,67l Evans. 9,503.-
Wards majority thus far l68. The Calves
ton News of the 9Th instant says there is a
strong probability that Ward is elected.
Both branches of the legislature are demo
cratic. Of II members of the lower house
ascertained to be elected, 48 are democrats,

cratic votes, % are know-nothings, and OF
seven the politics are not known. Of 80

nothings, and of the rest politics not known.
Union.
1t seems to be very difficult to get at the
true result of the Texas election. The above
is from a Democratic paper, and the following
from a Wing paper. We do not pretend tt
say which is correct:
In Texas, the result of the recent Election
t has really been cheering in the highest de
3 gree. By the latest newspaper advices, /
is conceded that one of the American can
didates for Congress-EvANs-and the Amer
=, lean candidate for Lieutenant Governor
/, JowERs-are certainly elected; and the telt
{ graph now announces the election also of tn
American candidate for Governor, DIR. Dick
> son, and a majority of Americans to tn
Legislature! This last news, we are afraiC
r is too good to be true but, whether true {
n not, it is now plain that the American part
has done wonders in Texas-has virtual
" achieved a splendid triumph, in a Sta
where its opponents expected, and had
l. rightto expect, a majority of 10000. Hurraf
then, for Texas, in any eventl
1t should be borne in mind that in Il
, Congressional elections, in the Southe
States, the American party ties its opponent
having elected l9 out of 38.

A SUPPOSED CASE OF YELLOW FEVER IN
WARREN.-Mrs. Robinson, the relict of the
late Clack Robinson of Roanoke, having pre-
previously been on a visit Of som duration to
her relations and friends in the vicinity of
Norfolk and Portsmouth, returned a short
time since, and whilst on a visit at the hos
pitable mansion of Nathan Milan, ESQ.,, of
this county, was taken sick. Mr.. Milan,
perceiving that the attack was a severe one,
but not supposing that it was a case of Vel
low Fever, since Mrs. r. affirmed that she
had not been within five miles of the infected
region, proposed some days ago to call in a
physician to see her, but she refused to avail
herself of medical advice. On Sunday night
last, however, the case developed evident
symptoms of Yellow Fever, and amongst
them the back vomit, which were promptly
recognized by some inmates of Mr.. Milam's
family who had been, about two years ago,
afflicted with the disease in New Orleans
DIR. Howard of Warrenton was Immediately
sent for, butbefore he arrived at Mr. Milam's,
Mrs. Robinson had breathed her last.
From all that we can learn, there can be
but little doubt that this was a genuine case
of Yellow Fever, brought, as many others
have been to other localities, from the re-
gion of the pestilence. No person, however,
appreherds the least danger of its being
communicated either to any member of Mr..
Milam's family or to any of the neighbors,
who reside in as healthy q section of country
as there is on the habitable globe.
We have thought proper to give this plain
statements of facts, in order to counterfeit
any misrepresentation that may be put in
circulation for the purpose of creating pop
ular excitement Warrenton Meaos.
FAYETTEVILLE BoNDs.-Our readers will
find among the advertisements in to-day's
paper, one Of the Town Treasurer, offering
for sale $4,000 of per cent. bonds, redeem
able in 20 years.
The object is, of course, to meet a portion
of the Town subscription of 100000 to tn
Western Rail Road.
The bonds will be beyond all question
secure, since not only will they be represen
ted by the shares of stock in the Rail Roal
but the VIII ole real estate of the town, publ
and private, worth from half a million to
million of dollars, will be liatle for the debt
There can be no better security, therefore
and we hope to see the bonds taken by cap
tallsts In our own vicinity.
As to the Rail Road itself, we have sal
but little of late, simply because a year G
two ago we said more than enough. Diff
culties then arose which put a stop to tn
enterprise, and made us fear that it coul
not be revived. We are happy to say, how
ever, that these fears have been dispelled.-
All is now going on we'll. The public conf
dence is restored, as the best evidence
which we may state, what we have learn'
with unalloyed pleasure, that nearly ever
subscriber has, even in the dull months
Summer, paid all the instalments called fc
and given notes for the remainder of the
subscriptions. We have, therefore, reasc
to hope that the road will soon be in opel
\ ton, despite the injustice Of the Legislatu
J and the indifference of other communities.

were compelled to eyacuate Sebastopo}.
The Russians it is said lost aboutthe same
number as the Allies, making a total loss Of
over thirty thousand men
The Russians before evacuating the town,
blew up all the Notifications, sunk all the
shipping, and fred Sebastopol, leaving moth
ing behind them but a mighty mass of smo-
king ruins.
The allied armies lost terribly, and as the
French were in the thickest of the fight, much
more seriously. They lost five eminent gen.
erals--among the number is the gallant Gen.
, eral Pasquet.

H. FARRELL,s ARABIAN EMINENT.

This celebrated medicine, skillfully composed as
it is of the most healing balsams and penetrating
oils, can never fail. to cure almost every affection
that could be alleviated by an external remedy
Its superiority over all other Liniments is proven
by the miraculous cures it performs, and by the
great and constantly increasing demand. There
has been sold within the past year more than three
millions of bottles, and there can be but few per-
sons found who do not bestow upon it the highest
praise for the rare virtue it possesses. Nothing,
perhaps, since the creation of the world, has been
so successful as an external remedy for all nervous
diseases, as this wonderful curative. Whom ap-
piled, it instantaneeusly difuses itself through the
whole system, soothing the irritated nerves, alfay-
ing the most intense pains, and creating a most
delightful sensation. Read the following remark
able cure, which can be attested to by hundreds
who were fully acquainted with the whole circum-
stance.
CHRONIC ENLARGEMENT OF THE TONsILs
Ny daughter, when six months old, was taker
with q swelling in the tonsils, which grew larger
and larger. till when six years old she haC
great difficulty in swallowing her food. Every nigh
watch was kept, fearing she would suffocate. Tn
best doctors attended her but could give no relief
I took her to the most eminent doctors in the East
they said there was no help for her but to outgrov
it. With a sad heart 1 returned home with her
when she became 50 much worse that the doctor
had to be called in again they decided that tn
tonsils must be cut off, as the only means of Civ
ing relief. My wife would not consent to this, an
she determined to try your Liniment, which CAV
relief the very first application, and by a continu
ed use she entirely recovered. She is now te
years old and ieshy and healthy as could be d.
sired. Your Imminent is also the best in use fe
sprains, bruises, cuts, burns, headache, etc., an
it will remove the most severe pain in a few mil
utes. 1t also cured caked udder in my COW in

Abatement in the Pestilence at Norfolk
and Portsmouth.

We are g~ratifed to announce this morning,
upon the authority of our reliable and in
telligent correspondents, whose letter will
be found below, that there is a very material
abatement in the epidemic in Norfolk and
Portsmouth, both in the number of deaths
and new cases. God grant that this abate-
ment may continue until the disease entirely
disappears:
