vUa ELECrION YESTERDAY.

The election passed of in the city on yes
.s,lsv with a. little excitement as We recoi-
l.ct ever having witnessed before upon any
pimilar occasion. The absence CT all party
sBimosity, and the failure to m'ks party tests
in the choice Of candidates, contributed TO
&strae. from the excitement
The returns received By rs are unusually
nsapsr, aud furnished no positive exponent Of
the result 90 far as the gu6ernatoriai and con-
occasional races are concerned. Those from

BETTER SruL.-The half million psTcus-
sion caps, referred to some days ago as hsv-
ing been discovered in z bonded warehouse OF
ihi5 city, turns out to be a million. Some OF
them, we have reason to believe, did effective
service at Manassas.
This discovery, together with the $4,000
Enfield riffs landed at New Orleans, the. 90
COO stand Of arms, sixty cannon, wagon loads
Of ammunition, aud enough provisions to feed
an army Of $4,000 for twelve months, taken at
Manassas, is likely TO Pu5 us on a tolerable

move on the board Mr.. Lincoln may look out

they are under the pay OF Lincoln, and it Is
said they have taken oaths to support ais gov

Governor Jackson, Of Missouri, arrived
yesterday, at the S%pottswood bouss, to visit
the Government on busiDsss connected with
the defense Of Missouri. About ten o'clock
the governor was called out BY an enthusiastic
crowd collected In the street, ard addressed
them in a speech Cf some length from the
steps Of the hotel. After cOngTatulating the
people Of Virginia on the late splendid victory
at Manassas, the governor remarked that VfT-
giDia and Missouri were 10 be the bsttle-helds
Of the war /; that their position made themthe
outposls of the citadel Of southern liberty.
A for Missouri, he must say that TIE peo-
pie there were not so much in the habit, as
these OF Virginia, OF holding of in The sight
Of The ~eneny-they were more anxious. and
whenever they got IN sight Of the enemy, no
matter what the circumstance were, they
would have a hgh'. They had had three Little
fights with The enemy, and in the first we came
off second best. At the battle Of BoOnvilie, we
were only six hundred strong, and unwiseiy,
az he thought, engaged the euemy, who were
2700 strong, ond supplied with artillery. But
On the 9Th Of July, that reverse was gloTiouslY
retrieved, when they met the enemy, 25OO
strong, in the open prairie, and drove them
back some fourteen miles, completely routing
hem.
Then, on the 20sh OF Jane, here was a little
fight on a small scale, when three NJ ssouTi
companies, numbering 100 men, routed one Of
the frat regiments OF the Yankees, In Benton
county, killing them outright and securing
every single gun they hAd The Governor
explained thar McCul'oeh bad not been able
to Join him in time to take part in the battle
Of the 9th Of July but when be aid join bin,
he brought 1900 msn from Texas and Ar
kansas, with = Louisiana regiment, that bad
come all the way on foot. With this addition
10 Bis fsTces, and 1900 men that Gen. Pillow
bad sent from Memphis, Missouri had now an
army Of ever forty thousand men 10 drive the
enemy from her borders, and they would be
sure to do it. He regretted to have seen IN
the Virginia papers accounts that himself and
McCulloch had guarded on The field OF battle.
(Voices-it was the YanRee ACCOUNT There
was not a word Of truth In this. The speaker
continued in a glowing tribute TO the Texas
hero and after further remarks on the wSr
an exhortstiou 10 all who could procure a gun
or nusset to rally 10 the border, ths governor
concluded smid the cheers CT the crowd.
