The Election in California.

The judicial election which took place
in California on Wednesday last was a
complete Union triumph. The Sacra-
mento Union says:
cit became apparent early in the day
that no decided effort would be made by
the Democrats to sustain their ticket. A
few of their members made their appear
ance with tickets, but worked without
spirit or hope of success. There was also
apparent culpable degree%o of indifference
among Union men, as evinced by the fact
that less than two-thirds of the vote at the
general election was cast. The result Of
the vote must, however, prove most salts
factory to all Union men throughout the
State. The Union ticket received more
than six-sevenths of the whole vote cast"
In San Francisco the entire Independent
Peoples Union ticket for Judgeship is
elected.
Dispatch from Placer county gives vote
of Auburn: Union, 1871; Copperhead II.
Returns from seven precincts heard from.
The vote Is: Union, $685. Copperhead,
2l5. Returns thus far show Union
gain of about 300 over the Governors
vote. The Union majority in the county
will reach 1000.
At Placerville the Union ticket has
about 800 majority small vote.
At Yank's Station, Union State ticket
80 majority. Brockway, Union candi-
date for District Judge, % majority
County Judge, % majority. Only seven
Copperhesd votes cast.
Returns received from Tuolumne county
indicate Union majority of from 200 to
800.

NEW ASS AY ICE.
True Democrat., 1863-03-11
From Vicksburg.

During the latter part of the past week g report came here, directly from Helena, that federal transport had landed there with the bodies of sixty federal officers who had been killed in ba tile st Vicksburg, and that the bo lies were buried there Also that fifteen other boats had gone up to Mem phs, with wounded men, and fifty transports, dense lv crowded with soldiers, had gone down to rein force their army. A like report came down the river by way of Fayetteville and Van Buren. On Sunday, other arrivals from Helena, or it's vicinity, repeated the story. The belief grew strong that there had been bloody battle, and some went 20 far as to state the federaSloss at % 900. In addition to this, there was furnof that Price had crossed the Mississippi, below vicksburg, and was coming up the Louisiana shore. If such battle has been fought, 1t i. singular that do not get some intimations oft, by way of Monroe, La.. and Camden, Ark. As early the 2)th, the mortar boats of the enemy had commenced the lombard ment of the city, and up to the 25th both sides were firing at each other. From the position of the land forces that tirae there could have been no engagement of infantry for several days after.
 We have the federal accounts of their digging operations at three points. They claim to have opened the old Yazoo pass, from the Mississippi, below Helena, to the Coldwater, fourteen miles One account says that boats have passed into the Tallahatchee, which is prong of the Yaxoo. This Ia doubtful as the Conederates had cut down trees enough to take them months to remove. There are accounts concerning the canal opFosite Vicksburg; cue is, that a scow passed through, finding six feet of water, and then the steamer Lebanon passed. Another is, that both ends were closed, and that huge syphon, worked by the steamer Champion, and steam pumps worked by other boats, drawing the water out so that they could cut it deeper. 5000 men were at work on it np to the ooh. At Lake Providence they were still engaged in cutting a channel from the river to the lake, and clearing out the bayous lead ing from the latter. They were very confident of the success of this project, and if successful the e
 feet would be to throw the water of the Mississippi into Red river, and perhaps, from there, the water would seek the Cuff by new channel, leaving New OLleans out in the cold. The taking of the Oneen of the West and the Indanola, may derange their plans little. A federal force was at Mont icelo, La, in the latter paitof February. The mortality among the federal soldiers said to be dreadful They admit the deaths this side of the river to average hundred day.
