The Result OF the Battle.


THE smoke and tumuIt of our civic contest
have not yet sufficiently divided to enable u;
to tell exactly what are our losses and what
our gains. But one fact is clear above al
the din and confusion, that the banner of the
radical party floats on the field, and that we
are the victors. What officers we have lost
and what strongholds we have taken. car
only be guessed at in many localities We
will, however, with the light afforded us
seek to map out the results.
In the state of New York, the great focus
and centre of Democratic assaults, we must
say that the fruits of the battle are extremely
uncertain. Although our friends are san
guine of the reelection of Governor Fenton
by q small majority, yet it is useless to deny
that the fearful maiorities against us in the
cities have most discouraging effect.
The gains in the country are almost GER
tsiniy sufficient to counterbalaDce the terri
BILE odds in the towns. The New York World
grants the election of Fenton by a small ma
iority. We may therefore feel pretty certain
that the State is ours. The Congressional
delegation stands at present 21 Republicans
balancing up accounts, we have lost three
members and gained three members. Among
the gain is General Charles ii. Van Wyck,
a member of the Thirty, sixth and Thirty
seventh Congresses, and gentleman OF ability.
The Democrats elect John Morrissey to a
seat.
Massachusetts has done better than our
widest anticipation. We stated yesterday
that we would be satisfied with forty thou
sand. She has given us over seventy thou
sand, and full delegation, among whom is
General Benjamin F. Butler and General N.
p. Banks.
The greatest Joy, however, must be felt
over gallant little Jersey. TO her belongs
the banner, as she has fought most nobly of
them all. She has elected a Republican
Legislature, and has secured us Senator in
place of the late William Wright. She has
elected both the present Republican mem
bers, and giue'I us t,oo more. The delegation
now stands Republicans to Democrat
"Jack" Rogers is defeated, and John Hill
elected in his place. G. A. Halsey, in the
Fifth District, is the other gain. Well done,
New Jersey! She has forever redeemed her
self Henceforth she will stand in the fore
most rank of the States which have declared
In favor of progress.
We have lost Delaware, or, rather, we have
failed toeain the State. 1t has Mr.. Nicholson
as its member now, and he will continue go.
Weregret the result, but it is no loss in our
numerical strength
In Maryland, although the result at first
looks so dark, yet, when inspected, it amounts
to but little. Although at last election we
secured the success of three members, yet
the desertion of Phelps made the vote two
Republicans to three Democrats. We lose,
therefore, but one vote, that of John l..
Thomas, Jr. The loss of Creswell in the
Senate is counterbalanced by the Senatorial
gain in New Jersey, while the gain of two
members in Jersey leaves us still balance of
one gain in our favor.
In the West the House viii stand the same
as it did before There is neither gain or
loss in any district.
There comes, however, a light out of the
distant West, and voice to cheer the loyal
heart from st. LOUIS. John Hogan, the per-
sonal fiiend OF the President, the caterer to
the Executive tour, the satellite and most
obnoxious OF all the Copperhead members,
has been defeated. We breathe freer now
that the air is no more tainted by the presence
OF this most malignant of Rebel sympathizers.
We,can now make our count of how the
next House will stand The following are the
Republicans
