NAL day we have had during the present year.
It drzzled rain from sunrise till sunset, making

The only additional election returns received
since our last come from the renowned parish of
Calcasieu-where all the people have fashion s
Of voting one way. The result was: for Wick c
life, 326; Derbigny, "a. Calcayieuis decided n
ly the anti-American "banner parish - and the f"
party throughout the State ought to contribute IS
towards purchasing one for her. a
We now have another version of the result ;.
of the recent congressional election in. eastern ;,
Texas. The wheel of fortune has made anoth
er revolution, and declares that Evans, the =,
American candidate, was elected and the Sc
cretary of state has furnished him with Ger :,
tificate to that effect. The Austin State Ga 2,
zette says that the official returns have been :,
received from Orange, showing only fourteen w
majority for Ward, instead of ffty-two, as for y
past had been generally conceded to II
be the returns. There is, therefore, no longer =,
any doubt of the election of L. D. Evans as re- .,
preventative in congress from the first district. !,
The Henderson StarSpangled Banner, of 8,
the Goth, announces thatjudge Evans had been y,
congress. Huzza for the Americans in Texas! 6,
