GEoRG1A.-Yesterday an election was held in Geor.
gia for Governor, Congressman and members of the
State Legislature. The success Of Governor H. V
Johnson, the democratic candidate and present in.
cumbent over his Know Nothing competitor. Judge
Andrews, seems TO be generally conceded The cleo
tons for members of Congress and of the Legislature
are regarded as much more doubtful. We shall hear
in day two.
This cay week elections will be held in Pennsyl.
vannia and Ohio. In the former State canal Com
missioner, members of the Legislature and local off,
GERS will be voted for In the latter a;Governor men,

be chosen. We have very reliable means of judi
gng guessing at the probable results in these
States. We hardly be mistaken however in ia
king it for granted, that the Democrats will fare bet
ter than they did at the last election There will un-
doubtedly be much excitement and pretty full vote

ORR FOREIGN RELATIoNs.--Two matters at present
before the public attract attention to our relations
.. E,ronear countries One is the undoubted COM
rc;tv of high British officials, in the attempted vio-
iation of our neutrality laws, by the raising within
the Jurisdiction of the United States, of Foreign
legion for the British service 1t Is now next to ab-
solutely certain-nay, we nay say absolutely GER
tain. without qualification that MIR. Cramplon' the
British Minister has been party to these transac-
tona We see no course for our government but the
dismissal Of Champion, and demand upon the Brit
isb government for complete disavoWal OF all his
acts.
The other matter has relation to the Sound dues
boso are certain tolls collected by Denmark from all
mercantile vessels passing into the Baltic through
4h rorrow sound between the Island of Zealand and
4ho orros;te coast of Sweden. The foundation Of
this claim is to pay Denmark for keeping up light
houses to assist in the navigation OF the narrow and
dangerous seas at the mouth of the Baltic. But the
axact;on no longer partakes Of its original character
Il has long come to be regarded as mere matter OF
ravenue. and indeed, supplies the Denmark govern
mani with about one.ffth of It's income. In less than
. osr the treaty between the United States and Dem
marx will expire in pursuance of notice given, and
the two powers will be in direct collision, the one in
sisting and the other absolutely refusing. The at
tempt to enforce the Danish claims will bring the
matter 10 crisis The real difficulty lies in the dis
nosition manifested on the other side to make this
{" a European question" which would much compll-
cate the affair." and multiply the difficulties in its So
luton.
The Paris correspondent of the independence Beige
said TO be in the confidence OF Louis Napoleon, holds
the following language:
pou this very question, presented to US as 1t IS at this
omsnt there would be long discussion to enter upon
Wa were to examine thoroughly and in all its bearings
INIT at present will confne myself to remarkng that France
cannot he called upon undertake the defence
If the cause of Denmark and in the that Denmark
would desire; still less possible that the Uni
ted States should and settle this question perempto
and arbitrarily suit themselves This question OF
uropean interest and such it will be examined and set
tied bv the Government of Europe this shall be done
it would be strange American Power should pretend to
violate the established and recognised part OF nations
of Europe and make for herself distinct law to suit her
own fancy If American Power should presume to DO
violence to the European settlement, it would not be
France singly that would have to protect Denmark-
It would entire Europe whose duty would become to
cause its and dignity to be respected by accepting the
war which outrage the United States would have de-
clared against it"

The NEW York Daily NeaOs," ''Hard" Democratic
organ, says that the Richmond Enquirer, Whining
ton Journal, and other Democratic papers at the
South, mistaken in giving the' Soft Convention,
in that State, credit for passing resolution in which,
although the repeal of the Missouri Compromise is
characterised unwise and uncalled for, the follow
ing language is employed sc but that we are OPP
posed to any agitation having in view the restoration
of said compromise, or tending to promote sectional
controversy in relation thereto" This resolution,
the Neacs says did not pass aad that we are ,mista.
ken in supposing that it did.
Without wishing to enter into any heightened dis.
cussion of the matter, would simply say that we
published the series of resolutions, this among the
number from what we supposed to be the official
port of the officers of the convention If in this we
mistaken, shall stand corrected and make the
admission-we cannot say with pleasure, for it can
give pleasure 10 find worse state of things
than we had been led to suppose existed-but make
it certainly shall, and ask the Meas for infor-

/ o. Knowing the interest felt in the details of the
recent terrible conflict at Sebastopol, we need ofe

stated. The loss neither of the assaled nor of the
assailans appears to come up to the first reports,
although the official accounts intentionally place such
things at too low figure. mean between the two
accounts might perhaps, be nearer the truth.
The Russian organs assert that the Russian posi-
lon is stronger since the abandonment of the South
side. Perhaps in some respects it may be, but we
can see no object in holding it as it defends nothing
The harbo, for which the defences were mainly con-
struced is now at the mercy of the assailants The
fleet no longer exists.
The French are entitled to wear the laures won at
the sorming because of their greater sacrifices, and
greater success, though the courage and desperate
energy of all is unquestioned. The Malakoff turned
out to be the key of the Russian position, and when
the French flag waved over that the thing was done.
The British attack on the Redan was repulsed, or
rather, they were driven out after they had made
lodgment, that work being commanded by the fire of
other works The Malakof was not TO the same ex.
tent and the French could not be driven out and the
South side fell
