The Elections.

In NoRTH CAROLINA We have frc Of The
eight members of Congress, and on a popular
vote a majority of from to 10000. The Leg
Slature is also strongly Democratic.
TExNEssrE.-In this State the Democrats
have carried the Governor and majority in
Congress and in the State Legislature. Cover
nor JonNsToN's majority it is thought will reach
1000.
ALABAMA ALL RlGnT The Washington
Union has returns which show that the Demo-
Gratis have carried the Governor, large major
ity of the Legislature, and SIR of the seven
members of Congress
KENTUCKY has gone for the Know Nothings.
Our Democratic friends in that State fought most
galantIy, but there was too large a Wing ma
ioFity to overcome. For twenty-five years
Kentucky has been largly Wing, and it was too
much to hope that she could now be revolution
ized, although il looks odd 20 see her following
rhe lead of Massachusetts, instead of Virginia.
Her true position is by the side of the latter,
and nothing but party drill and organization,
aided by mob rule and violence, has prevented
her from assuming it. The know-Nothiugs
have elected the Governor, and majority OF
CongreSsmen and State Legislators.

Our loss is insignificant in men. and moth

Admiral Dundas' despatch is less highly
colorcd:-
"Sweaborg was attacked by the mortar
and gun boat Of the allied squadron on the
morning Of the 9th The firing ceased ear
ly this morning. Heavy explosions and
very destructive fires were produced in Il
few hours. Nearly all the principal build
ings on Vargoc, and many more on Swar-
toe, including those of the dock yard and
arsenal, are burned. Few casualties have
occurred and ,Ioiiycs lost in the allied fleet.

1t will be observed that there is no men
ton in the above dispatches respecting the
Russian ships. A Russian despatch from
St. Petersburg, dated llth, says: "Thc
allied fleet opened bombardmcnt against
Swcaborg OH the 9th, and have kept it up
with energy until now"
LArEsr-DAxrzIc, August l6.-The ALI
ed squadron returned to Nargen from Swea-
borg, on the 18th. Nine of the allied ships
were seriously damaged. The British cas-
ualtics werc-kiled. none; wounded, two
officers and thirty men. The Freuch loss
has been equally trifling.
/ Adyices from Konigsbcrg state that
when the attack on Sweaborg began, the
Grand Duke Constantine asked permission
from the Emperor to attack the diminished
allied feet before Cronstadt, but the Enl-
peror refused.
Swcaborg docs not seem to he in the
possession of the allies, and as it is not II
key to an important position, its destruc-
ton must be regarded as q detached enter
prise, not as part of any comprehensive op-
Grafton. Its destruction, however, has re-
vived the spirit of the fleet, and satisfied
expectations at home. ConsolS advanced
