MIssoURr.-The following summary of the
result of the election in Missouri, is from the
Chicago Tribune
CAT the last Congressional election in Mis-
souri, the delegation stcod-Nnow-No thlngs
SIX, Atchison Democrats one. The present
delegation stands Know Nothings two, Atchi-
son Democrats four, Free Soil one, The K.
Nothings have lost four members, the Atchi-
sonites have gained three, and Free Soil one
member.
The Americans and Bentontes will contro
the Legislature, which will probably result in
sending Benton back to the U. S. Senate, and
also an American leaving Atchison the
Prince of Border Ruiiians at home. The
Benton vote for Governor is pretty fair esti-

souri, 1t will be the growing vote in that
State until the day she shall happily, for Ter.
self, take her place among her tree Sisters of

SENATOR SUMNER. correspondent of the
Sandusky Register, writing from Cheldon Hills,
near Philadelphia, July 30, gives an account of
recent visit to Senator Sumner He says:
al enjoyed last evening very interesting
conversation with him, aad regret to say that
was too fully confined in the apprehension
everywhere entertained, that the injury he
received from the blow in the Senate, which
struck down alike freedom of speech and the
sovereignty o. Massachusetts, will be perma.
nent and fatal. Every remedy which medi-
cal skill could suggest, a resort to the most
healthy localities, to the most healing waters,
to the invigorating sea coast at Cape May or
elsewhere, have wholly failed to restore
strength to his shattered frame.
His general health seems partially restored,
his appetite reasonably good and his mind
ever glowing with the fires of genius and elo-
quence, still sits enthroned within, unclouded
by the shock. But his entire nervous and
muscular system seems irrecoverably prostrat-
ed. If he essays to walk, his lower limbs re-
fuse their office, at least so much so as to rem
der the attempt hazardous, without helping
hand. He receives no encouragement from
his best medical advisers that he can be re.
stored to health for years, if ever and his
regret is keen that he cannot, at this trying
crisis of our country, occupy his place Of du-
ty in the Senate"

Iowa is as likely to give over as under 5 900
majority for the Republican State ticket The
Legislature is at least three fourths Republic
can. Davis's CRepubican) majority in the
Northern District is not less than 5000, and
may be more. The Dubuque Republican OF
the 18th inst makes it 5,772, with some
counties to hear from. Of twenty five coun.
ties heard from, he carried all but Dubuque.
