TIL e RE suit,


Yesterdays election, the most quiet and peace
able held in this city within the memory of the
elder inhabitants, resulted in the complete triumph
of the American and Opposition tickets.
1t was free-and-easy sort of election, in which
purely personal preferences predominated with
many of the voters. There was much scratching
of tickets all over town, and particularly in the
First and Fourth Districts.
At a late hour the returns were not complete
though nearly full. The following are all the re.
turns we can now give:
For Governor, the majority for Wells was about
1900.
For Sheriff, Parker's majority was about $500.
For District Attorney, Bradford's majority was
about 500.
For Senators, the American candidates, Patter
son. Leefe and Solomon, were elected by about
1900 majority.
For Representatives, the result was as follows
First Representative District-Dr. W. III. Lindsay
James Beggs and Alfred Kcarney by about l2C
majority.
Second-W. R. Fish and T. A. Bartlette, by
about l30 majority.
Thrd-H. J. Ranney, John A. Jaquess Hurst
and John Jay Lane, by about 800 majority.
Fourth-Anatole Blache, by lis majority.
Fifth-John McClelland and John L. Lamothe
by about 100 majority.
sixth-Louis Gastine, by about 100 majority.

TALK ON CHANGE.

Yesterday opened with four days later advices
from Europe, brought by the boat of the Canadian
line, the North America. The commercial advices
were deemed as highly favorable. The financial
accounts were on the $3.50 order. The political
intelligence is a mixed up congIomeratng mass of
this, that and the other, having no foundation but
srrmises, almost every paragraph leads off, + it
is reported So One dispatch, it is presumed,
can be relied on, that is that Spain has declared
war on Morocco. However, all the various dis
patches had no influence on Carondclet street, no
more than great army in Utah. half of which
ought to be on the Rio Grande del Norte There
talk of the position of the frontier on the
Rio Grande. particularly from the Brazos ST. Iago
to and above Brownsville. The denunciations
against Mr. Secretary Floyd were many. 1t is
hoped that the telegraphic operator at Washington
City, who is forwarding advices that this and that
measure is to be protected at all hazards will in
form our community when the Administration in
tend to carry out the weak and eplemeral pro-
misses which over the wires almost every
other day. or are they to be considered as so much
gas!
The further talk was of the fine weather for the
cotton growing interest. No rain has fallen within
the city excepting a slight sprinklng on the 22d
of Octobe) since the 18th ut. The staple is ar
irving freely, though large quantities are detained
in the interior by low water: yet the weather con
| tnues so very dry, and much cotton is opened
that planters do not feel disposed to withdraw their
picking force from the field to assist in transporting
the bales from the gn-house to the shipping point
As cotton is the absorbing feature of trade at
this moment, and as our transatlantic customers.
particularly Of Lancashire, Eng, have from time
| to time been under great apprehension that the
supply might fall off, and in all probability the re-
cent frosts might cause some anxiety in England
we have to inform our good observation-disclosures
from compulsion-that We hope to furnish them
with tolerable supply of the staple though they
must pay something over lOc for good clean mer
chantable cotton; and though we have had some
thing OF frost in some sections of the country it
is evident there were four millions of bales of cot.
ton ripened before the 3Oth and 3lst of October
| We WILL however, compare figures for the last
twenty-three years, that is, dates of killing frost
and the crOD of each year

UEsDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER s, 1859.

Seventh-R. l.. Theard and Theo. o. Drouett, by
about l25 majority. m
Eghth-C. Octave Leblanc, by about 225 ma
jority.
Ninth--Joseph Magioni, by over 200 majority
Tenth Representative District.--In this District
the Democratic candidates, w. G. Austin, V. +.
Cotton, and II. Jackson were elected by about 100
or l50 majority.
Algiers-George W. Lewis by about so majority.
For Congress, Second Congressional District
Nichols leads Taylor by about so majority. In
the First Congressional District, Bouigny has ,9D3
votes, LaSerc POI, and Benvenu 2lO.
The American candidates for Clerks of the six
Districts Courts, for Justices and Constables of six
of the Seven Justices Courts, for four of the five
State Assessors and four of the five State Tax Col
lectors, and for Coroner were elected by majori-
ties nearly averaging the above, some of the can
didates running ahead of their tickets, and some
behind.
The only polls not heard from as we write, are
poll No. !, Twenty-Second Precinct, and the poll
in Alglers. We have private memorandum from
Algiers however, informing us that the American
and Opposition tickets are elected by 50 majority
and over.
Tomorrow we expect to be able to present the
full official figures of the vote in this parish.

Those interested can draw from the foregoing
figures the probability of the crop of 1859 being
generally injured by frost. In Liverpool they are
under the impression {see some circulars, particu
larly Colin Campbell & SOM that two good Yields
never followed successfully. The above figures
remove such impressions.
The New York folks are figuring away as usual
and some of them, who probably never saw cot
ton stalk, pretend to know more about cultivation
results and growth, than any factor or planter in
the South.
The stock of clean and merchantable cotton is
undoubtedly reduced to low figures in Liverpool,
and under this impression our market continues
active i'll the face of daily downward tendency of
exchange. The arrivals of steamers were numer-
Gus yesterday, which will appear by our marine
register, which leads to great activity on the leyee
and landings. We cannot look for any marked i'm
provement in general trade until rise in the
waters take place. The Alabama rivers are low {:
still, Tchoupitoula, Poydras and NewLevee streets
hold their own, and sales of Western products are
made from day to day.
The mails came through yesterday that is, those
of the lst and I'd instant and large batch of old
dates. What great misfortune to our community
that the Postmaster-General does not watch his
agents and contractors as close as the other de.
partments do the fishermen. The talk is, that some
well be off the Brazos St. Iago or the Rio Grande
as to be watching for imaginary savers or fishing
parties. Sic transit gloria nu,adi

The following is from the West Baton Rouge
Sugar Planter of the 5th instant:

The following is from the West Baton Rouge
Sugar Planter of the 5th instant:
Our sugar planters are now in full blast of the
rolling season. The yield of the cane is wretched
on some plantations scarcely worth the trouble
of grinding. One planter informed us that his
cane had not yielded over one quarter of hogs
head to the acre; while on other plantations one
half, three quarters and one hogshead seems to be
the average yield to the acre. The best yield we
have heard of is one and quarter to the acre and
that, too, from the best cane on the plantation.
Reports from other parishes are no more favorable
than the reports of our own planters.
We extract the following from the Lake Proyi
dence Herald of the 5th inst:
We have never known more favorable season
for the husbandman than the present has been
Most bountifuly have the crops turned out in this
our usually prolific region. The cotton plant is
bending and breaking beneath the weight of it's
valued product and strewng the ground with guam
titles, the saving of which will depend further
continuance OF the present beautiful weather; for
the planters, many of them, will have as much as
their hands can do to pick what is in the bolls.
The average gathering will be about crop and a
half as compared with that of ordinary seasons
whilst, if the entire crop could be gathered in, it
would nearly double the usual crop.
The following item about sugar making we clip
from the Franklin Banner of the 4th:
Our planters in st. Mary are now fairly engaged
Ill sugar making. More than hundred and fifty
engines are in motion crushing cane, and the same
number OF furnaces are blazlng-more than eight
hundred big pots are boiling, and eight or nine
thousand slaves, large and small, cut and haul the
cane, feed the mills, tend the pots and shove the
fires. And throughout the sugar parishes all the
furnaces now blaze and kettles boil. And eachset
of kettles turns out from four to twentyfour hogs
heads of sugar in twenty-four hours, and more
than five thousand hogsheads of sugar are now
daily manufactured in the sugar regions of this
State.
The Opelousas Courier of the 5th inst. says:
On Sunday last we had the first frost of the sea.
son. We may add that we were threatened several
times before with frost, and some say they have
seen evident signs of it, At any rate, that Of Sun
day was far from being doubtful, as there was ice
on thin water.
The cane is damaged and on many plantations
it has been thought proper to put all the cane in
winrow, as prudence dictates.
We are informed that the yield is not what was
at first expected. Sugar is fine generally and easily
made.

have it on the most reliable authority that the

| should not be surprised, from what | learn, if
an order will be made directing Brown to be sent
to Richmond, and if he shonld, be kept in the
penitentiary there till such time as the Governor
fixes for his execution. A Massachusetts lady,
whose name understand to be Chds, has written
to Governor Wise, requesting permission to wait
upon and nurse the unfortunate old man. The
permission has been granted.
