THE ELECTIONS.

The returns received from the election held
on Thursday last are SO meagre that it ia i'm:
possible TO say who has been the successfoi
candidate for Governor. The heavy MAORI
ties recsiyed by Governor Smith in the army
would eeem to favor his euccess, whilst the
majorities Of Col. Flournoy in the South Side
and in some of the Southwestern counties
leave the matter yet in douht We think the
off sial vote will be required to decide The con
test.
Ia some of the Congressional districts the
result is yet unde cided. 1t is pretty generally
conceded that Lieut. Governor Montague has
beaten Mr. Garrett in the first district, and
that Mr.. Whitfield has been elected in the I'd

In the 10Th Mr.. Edmundson is thought to be
elected over MIR. Staples, present member. In
The 18th the re election of Mr.. Preston Ia

close between DR. X dwell and Mr.. Russell,

THE WAR IN JAPAN.
Burning of the City of Kaosima by
the British - Eleven Englishmen
Killed and Thirty-nine Wounded.

FoREIGH OFFICE, London, Oct. 30,
1863-The following telegram, dated
Cairo, Oct. 10, $40 P. NJ, has been re-
ceived from Her Majesty's Agent and
Consul General in Egypt:
"All hope of negotiation being at an
end, the feet took up its position oppo-
site Kaosima, and prepared for action.
Two shore batteries opened fire on
the feet, which returned it.
"At dusk the town was in flames in
several places. Three forts were ST.
fenced.
Our loss consisted of eleven killed
and thirty-nine wounded.
Captains Costing. of the Euryalus,
and WIlmott, were killed
s NINE L. M.-The whole town is In
flames.
"sUNDAY, Aug. 16, 1863.-The feet
stood out, engaging the whole of the
batteries.
"The city is one mass of ruins-pala.
ces, factories, arsenals, &c.
Three steamers of Kaosima are de.
stroyed completely The shore batter
les are reported to have been well served"
The London Post of October 81 hopes
that the punishment inflicted upon Prince
Satsuma has been SO severe that when
he and his brother Damios see how little
is to be gained and how much to be lost
by provoking our enmity, they will,
doubtless, acknowledge the expediency
OF permitting British merchants to pur-
sue their avocation in the cities of japan,
unmolested by their savage retainers.

FROM THE FRoNT-The New Albany
Ledger of Wednesday learns from the
Nashville Dispatch of Tuesday that
gentleman who left Chattanooga on
Thursday last reports that considerable
fighting had taken place in that neigh
borhood during the five preceding days;
in one of these encounters the seventy
prisoners alluded to in another para
graph, as having arrived here, were ta-
ken. He also states that boat had run
through to Bridgeport from about two
miles this side of Chattanooga, and that
as soon as the river can be cleared of
Confederates, which he expects will be
in few days, supplies in abundance will
be sent up the river. Our informant de-
scribes the country around and about
Southern Tennessee, and Northern Ala
