The Result in Arkansas,


sylvana.
The Result in Arkansas.
In Arkansas, johnson, the regular
Democratic nominee for Governor, has
been beaten by Rector, independent
Democrat.
For Congress, Iindman, Democrat, has
been beaten by Cypert, supporter of
Bell and Everett. This is glorious vic
tory over one of the most active Demo-
Gratis in the State.
In the other district, CAN'T, indcpen-
dent Democrat, beats Mitchell, the regu-
lar nominee.
We learn, also, that in Pulaski county
two Bell and Everett men have been
elected to the Legislature. This inior-
nation is from private sources, and may
be relied upon
NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIoN.-The RAJ
cigh Standard, says; "There are still nine
counties to be heard from. Thus far the
whole vote polled in the Governors elec-
ton is l03,72S, by far the largest vote ev-
or polled in the State. Ellis beats Pool
about $500. Pool gains on the Brag and
Gilmer vote upwards of 1000, and on the
Ellis and McRae vote about ii 900. This
is the State of affairs in North Carolina,
after most arduous and exciting can
vass, and is an earnest that Bell and Ev-
erett will carry the State in November
While the Union men deeply regret that
they did not elect Pool, we are yet to see
one who is discouraged, and who is not
determined to 60 into the campaign for
the Presidency with all his zeal and en-
crgy. The Breckinridge- Yancey ticket
will be beaten to death in North Carroll
ma. North Carolina will not be tied to
the tail of South Carolina and Disunion.
Mark the prediction.
The Union party has made clear gain
in the Legislature of 16 members--l5 in
the House, and in the Senate"
SECRETARY COBB ON TIE STUMP.-On
Saturday morning says the Columbus En-
qlircr. the most extraordinary perform
ance ever witnessed in Temperance Hall
was exhibited: A Secretary of the Trea-
sury, astray from his official duties at
Washington, waging fierce Administra-
tion warfare on one of the candidates for
the Presidency The Hon. Howell Cobb
belabored Douglas with all the rancor and
e.; h., a+o op,st,o Of thn Il ;,,ic
tration of which he is member; and no
doubt he will return to Washington and
report to his chief his good days work in
Georgia, with all the pomposity of Fal-
staff recounting to Prince Hal his terrible
butchery of Hotspur and his followers
gy~ Keitt, of South Carolina, is out in
favor of Disurion in the event Of Lin
coins election, and, like all the other
Disunionists, is supporting Breckenridge
in order to elect Lincoln. He thinks it
cowardly to wait for an overt act, and
says it is the spirit of oppression that
brave men resist. What is the use, then,
of waiting for Lincoln's election? The
spirit which aniinates the Republican
party is just as manifest now as it will
ever be, and if that spirit is the thing to
be resisted, why not dissolve the Union
now, or in the event of Lincoln's defeat.
BELL AND EVERETT IN WAsHINGToN.-
The correspondence of the New York
Tribune says:
The Bell and Everett mass meeting
here to night is very imposing affair in
numbers and enthusiasm. 1t is pretty
clear that the old Wing and American
element in the South is getting heart
hope. Robert g. Scott of Virginia, a
powerful speaker, is addressing the meet
ing as this dispatch closes.
REPORTED SECESSION MovEMENTs.-Ad dis
patch from New York the lst inst, says;
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times refers to the rumors of
well organized movements on the part
of several Southern States for the disso-
luton Of the Union on Mr.. Keitt's plan.
He says agents have gone to Europe to
ascertain the course of England and
France on the establishment of South
ern Confederacy.
BSy- 1t is stated that Col. j. II. John
son, who, during the past ten years has
been the editor of near dozen Demo-
cratic papers in Kentucky-among them,
the Louisville Times, Louisville Demo-
crat, Frankfort Yeoman, Cynthiana Age,
Lexington Statesman, Paris Flag, and
Hopkinsville Press-has announced him
