GENERAL SUMMARY,

The Texas election has resulted, as already
stated, in most complete Pro Slavery Demo.
cratic triumph, electing as Governor the late
Lieutenant Governor, a. R. Runnels, by at
least $4,000 majority, and probably much more.
So far as we have returns, Gen. Sam Houston
does not run so well as Crosby, the american "
candidate for Land Commissioner. Both dis
tricts elect new members to Congress, as fol-
lows:
First district, (Eastern,) John II. Reagan.
Second district, (Western,) Guy M. Bryan.
And there will be two new United States Sen
ators chosen by this Legislature, in place of
Gen. Houston, used up, and Gen. Rusk, dead.
The Office of the only Anti Slavery newspaper
published in Texas having recently been de-
stroyed by mob, the triumph of her "Democ-
racy" may by regarded as complete.
The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-The company
which has undertaken this great enterprise has
a capital of G350, 200, which is divided into
three hundred and fifty shares of thousand
