The PRESIDENTIAL ELEcrIon up 10 the
hour Of going to press on Thursday evening,
We have not received returns enough to de.
termine the result Of Tuesdays election
all the returns we have will be found on the
next column, and they are favorable to Blu.
ehannn. With the present lights aud shades
before Us, our impression is that the old
Squatter Sovereign, with his usual adroit.

Tint, mind, is our impression ut this writing
p. M, Thursday; but we shall wait for the
next mail; due 80 minutes after 6 this even
ing, before caving entirely ~n this point.
In regard to Tennessee, we believe we are
Waterford. As far a. heard, the democrats
are ginning largely in Middle Tennessee and
in East Tennessee democracy is ginning on
Johnson's majority. From the complexion Of
the returns in Buchannns majority in the
State will probably be some 5000. This is
about alive have to say on the subject at
this time-we may recur to it again.
p. s. The returns by this evenings train
still indicate the election Of Buchanan.

THE CoTToN CRoP.-The Montgomery
Mail of Tuesday says, there is already fall.
ing off in the receipts of cotton here, though
We presume there will be still considerable
influx for week or two to come. One fact,
however, may be relied on. Many planters
are through with their crops already, while n
large majority will be done picking within n
week. The crop is very short, and within n
month the fact will be 10 demonstrated that
the spectators will be unable to devise theo.
ries to keep cotton down. When we con.
slider the abundance of money in the world
now-the high price of all descriptions OF
property-the undoubtcd shortness Of the
present cr"p-we are surprised that planters
should sell ut present prices.
