The Elections.

Last nights mail brought US positive news of
the defeat of Taylor, Know Nothing, for Con-
gress, by Watkins, anti-KnOw Nothing Wing,
in Eastern Tennessee. Some of the opposition
papers claim Watkins for Know Nothing.
We know, of our own knowledge, that they
are mistaken. lie went early into the lodges,
but soon came out disguised with them. He
was supported by all the anti-Know Nothings
of the District, and made emphatic speeches
against Know NOthingism. His election
makes the delegation, in the next Congress,
from Tennessee, stand equally divided-5 and
5-being a gain of one for the Administrations
as Mr.. Watkins when in the Congress before
the last, was with the Democrats on all really
test questions. The majority for the Hon:
Geo. w. Jones, the most valuable man to
his country now in American public life, reach
es 300 AS follows
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1855-08-21
200! las follows:

The news from Texas shows that the sum
total of the effect Of the Know Nothing pro.
nunciamento of Gen. Houston is the election
of single Know Nothing to the Legislature
from a county in which he formerly resided,
and where he addressed the people shortly be-
fore the election That is the only county
which, being Democratic before, now goes
against the Democrats: whereas their MAORI
ties in other counties show that the General
has not been able to move the State an inch
from her Democratic moorings. The following
returns have been received
GALVESTON, Aug. 10-3 p. IMPARTIAL re-
turns from ten or twelve counties, embracing
some Know Nothing strongholds, indicate the
election OF the entire Democratic State ticket
by large majority.
Galveston has elected John Henry Brown
and L. Sherwood (Dems.) to the Legislature
by 132 majority.
Brownsville (Rio Grande) elects Latham and
Nickells (Dems) by large vote.
Harris county (Houston city, elects Demo
cratic Senator and two Representatives by a
large vote.
Fort Bend does the same.
Brazoria does the same
Washington (where Sam Houston resides)
elects Warner DEM and Gayles TX. NJ
Walker county elects a Know Nothing Rep
resentative by 46 majority-Sam Houston IS old
home, and where he made a speech few DAYS
before the election.
In Walker, Grimes, and Montgomery, Jesse
Grimes Dem is Senator.
Liberty gives the Democratic ticket three to
one.
From North Carolina, we learn that the ag
gregate Democratic majority has been ascer-
tanned to be at least 5000; nearly ten times as
great as that of Pierce! Mr.. Clingman's ma.
jority is 1,495.
From Alabama we have the following au.
thentic news:
MONTGOMERY, August 20-The majority for
Winston, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, will not be less than ticeiue thousand ,
All the Congressional districts have been heard
from, with the following results:
walker, Know Nothing, 500 majority.
Shorter, Democrat, 200 majority.
Dowdell, Democrat, 500 majority.
Smith, Know Nothing, 1880 majority.
Houston, Democrat, no opposition.
Cobb, Democrat, 1890 majority.
Harris, Democrat, 1880 majority.
Both branches of the Legislature are Demo-
cratic. The majority on joint ballot will be
thirty-two.

prepared at the Virginia Hotel, of which the

He alluded to the pleasure it afforded him
Of visiting the citizens Of Staunton, and breath
ing the atmosphere of Virginia, not only from
its invigorating effects, but on account of its
nationality. He adverted to the thoughts
suggested as he passed in sight of Monticello,
and expatiated with ardent eloquence upon
the value and Importance of preserving invio.
late that great chart Of our lIberty-the Con
stitution-in the forming of which Mr.. Jeffer-
son acted so prominent a part. His feelings
revolted from the idea Of dissolution of the
Union It would be the Illiad of innumera-
BILE woes, from the contemplation of which he
shrank. He continued by abiding to the
greatness of Virginia, not only as it respected
the enlarged patriotism of her people, but he:

his thanks for the cordial welcome that had
been extended to bim.''

snreWuest men anu nlgnest toned gentlemen at
present connected with American public af
fairs. As q matter Of course, there is not
single word Of truth in the whole letter, other
than the fact announced that the President on
the day mentioned, entertained few friends
at dinner; no one being among them, as a mat
ter Of course, but gentlemen, who would not
play the pimp to furnish the means Of getting
up such ridiculous effort as the letter in ques
ton, to make up for the deficiency of interest
ing occurrences at the Federal metropolis ju st
now.
But apropoS of the Herald and dinner par
ties in Washington: this bogus concoction re
| minds Us of an anecdote of the late Mr.. Rit-
chic, exceedingly characteristic of that dis.
| tinguished and scrupulous gentleman. For
some time after he established the Union in
this city, we were in his service as his assistant
editor, and were much with him consequently
On one occasion, when writing in his library,
the old gentleman entered, dressed for din
ner party in his usual suit for such an enter
tainment. In reply to our question Where
are you going? he named the host-when we
said incidentally that the entertainment was
given, as we had heard, to James Gordon Ben.
nett, then in Washington-the ambitious
host, to whom Mr.. Richie was certainly
deeply attached, being VIGOROUSLY anxious to
win the friendship Of the Herald. On learn
ing this fact, Mr.. Richie pulled of his inva-
riable silk gloves, and threw them, with hi;
hat, with great violence on the Aoor, and broke
out with great vehemence against Bennett
swearing-and it was the only time in years o.
intimate association with him that we he ird
him utter an oath-that he would not make
one of any such party. Adding, by way o.
peroration, that he had labored faithfully and
honestly for nearly half a century to deserve
the reputation of n gentleman, and that hi
would not sacrifice it thus, by putting his leg
" under the same mahogany with James Cor
don Bennett" We never before or since saw
Mr.. Richie loose his self-control from passion
He kept his word, as a matter of course, aat
the dinner to Bennett took place without bin
