w"THE election in this place, though
warmly contested by both parties, passed
off without any unusual disturbance. The
vote in the Borough was the heaviest ever
polled in this place and reached AIS, and
what was singular, about $50 of this num-
Der was polled at noon. The vote in Octo-
ber was 365, being an increase of SO over
that vote. The Union majority in October
was 1Os, and on Tuesday last 140, being q
Union gain of 80. In Upper Augusta there
was Union gain of 12; in Point 10; ir
Coal township so; in Milton %, and Lowe,
Mahonoy 25. The principal gains of the
Mcclellan party were 4S in Mt. Carmel, al
new voters, and in Northumberland.
