Penusylyspia Election.

We have a number Of scattering returns Of the
Pennsylvania election on Tuesday, for members
Of the Legislature and county officers OF the re-
suit in Philadelphia the Inquirer says:
The aggregate vote for sheriff, which was the
most warmly contested, Is but a little over ffty-
eight thousand, which Is nearly twenty Eve
thousand short OF the vote Of the city at the Octo
Der election in 1850, when II was over eighty two
thousand. The result upon the sherif7s vote In
this city appears to give John Thompson, Union,
a majority Of four hundred and eighty one over
Robert Ewing, dem. But this will probably be
overcome by the votes of the soldiers In camp.
The results Of this military vote, 80 far as they
to enable US to speak positively as to the final re-
suit
OF the other officers, the following have ma
jority Of the votes cast in this city:

The majorities In all of these cases will proba-
bly, be increased by the military vote.
The following from the Press shows how some
Of the Pennsylvania regiments, on the line Of the
Potomac, voted:
In Col. Small's regiment large number OF the
men were on picket duty, and there was, conse-
quently, small vote polled, the men caring little
about the election. Five hundred votes Were cast,
and the ticket Of the peoples party received ma
jority Of $50. There was no Union ticket on the
| ground.
The 6Ist regiment, commanded by Col. Rippey,
| voted for the Union ticket, also did the ed
| comm anded by Col Hayes, Of Allegheny county
That portion Of the 32d regiment, commanded
| by Colonel Lujeane, which came from Lancaster
county, gave IS republican majority; while that
portion which came from Philadelphia gave IS
democratic majority.

| Roberts First Regiment Of Gen. McCall's di-
vision. In the Second, under Col. Mann, the vote
