The election returns from the State
come in very slowly. Those which have
came in lately show that the returns re-
ceivci last night were very unreliable.
The Copperheads seem to have hal too
mnch OF haEd in making up the figures
In one district where the Copperheal
majority was reported last night at 800 it
turns ont to day that there is an Union
majority of IS.
The belief is. that tho State has gone
Union by about 5000 majority on the
home vote. We have gained at least
three Congressman. and complete returns
may give us from the soldiers votes an
Union majority in the State of about
$4,000.
