Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-08-10
Political News.

Magoffin, democrat, is elected Governor of Kentucky over Bell, by probably ten thousand majority. Nearly all the demo- cratic candidates have been elected to Con- gress in that State. The legislature will be [ largely democratic.
 There is a rumor that Sam Houston has been elected Governor of Texas. We do not believe 1t.
 From the Appeal we take the following in regard to the Tennessee election:
 The Election Y Yesterday.
 The election passed off quietly in our city under the pressure of an intense excitement. There was no disorder, but both parties went to the poles with determination to carry their full strength ani poll every vote. It will be seen that the democracy have about held their own in this city Mir. Avery is undoubtedly reelected. and we think by an increased majority. Our opin- ion also is that the democracy have carried their whole legislative ticket. The demor- racy worked harl ani victory rrrchcs upon our standard

 Our returns this morning are somewhat meagre. and not of so satisfactory charac- ter as we could have desired. Various con- tiieting umors were received by telegraph and railroad yesterday, but we must con | tent ourselves with a simple announcement of the details that have come to hand.
 Sicily County-The official vote ofthree precincts wanting to complete the returns from this county. As soon as we can procure the vote of these we shall publish tabular statement of the entire vote for convenience of future reference to our readers. For the present, suffice it to say we have given a, majority for Harris, and have elected our entire county ticket. Avery's majority in the district at the last election was 370 votes which we believe will be fully sus- tained
 We received the following dispatch by telegraph last evening" 4
 Jockson, Aug. 5.-AIl the county is heard from, Sneed's majority is 486; Meth erand's 455; Hurst's 393 Avery gains 94 over Stephens vote, and McClannahan's gain is 104. Hurrah for old Madison! We learn by private dispatch from re- liable source late last evening that the news from Carroll, Gibson, Dyer, Obion and | Weakley counties indicated most unmis- takably that Atkins was elected to Con- gress.
 Fayeae Majority for Harris, 76; Avery, 8; Payne, B; Ingram, B; Whit more, 54. Currin received 46 votes TTpton County.-The impression is that there is majority of 300, which is gain of 50 votes. It was believed on the cars that Atkins was elected
 -Nadisor Couty.-So far as heard from Avery gains 94 votes.
 Chahdnoogo, Aug. 5.-The vote in Ham. ilton county for Governor about as before Brabson makes large gains, and is probably elected. A. BURCH
 Nashville. Aug 5.-I am not able yet to estimate the result. The news thus far re- ceived from East Tennessee is very unfavora ble. and it also shows gain for Netherland in Middle Tennessee.
 l estimate that the west will make a small gain for Harris, and do not yet ad- init deduction of our majority below that for Buchanan. Menees and Ready are bea- ten. The House will be democratic, 1 am confident, and the Senate is doubtful. / IL. J. EASTMAN. E
