The Mississippi Election.
Special to the Appeal
JACKSON, MISS, November RE
turns from twenty-three counties give
twenty-six thousand five hundred and
sixty-seven majority for Ames. These
counties are Republican. A careful
compiling of the vote of 1859 in the
counties yet to hear from, will foot up
a majority of thirty thousand for Ames.
Republican majority in both houses
assured.
Associated Press Dispatch.l
JACKSON, Miss, November THE
returns come in very slowly. Only
twenty-three counties have full re-
port. 1t gives Ames q majority of
twenty-six thousand five hundred and
| siKty-seven. Those counties ALWAYS 90
Republican, and when the official re-
turns are received from other counties,
the majority will, perhaps, be somewhat
less than now estimated. The vote was
very light everywhere. The Republi- !
cans have a good majority in both |
branches of the legislature.

The VIrgintus.
WASHINGTON, November 7.-Official
dispatches received by the department
of state show that the Virginius was
captured six miles from the coast of Ja-
maica. At the instance of Minister
Sickles, instructions were sent from the
government at Madrid to await orders
from the home government before in
fiicting penalties on the passengers and
crew Of the Virginius. This order was
received too late, as it appears from dis
patches received from Cuba to-day, to
be respected.
The Cairo Abduct1ng Case.
CAIRO, Ill, November 7.-Drum-
mond and Morrison, charged with the
abduction of the Watkins girl, were ex-
amined to-day and discharged for want
of evidence to justify their detention.
The fact that the girl voluntarily re-
turned to the boat with the accused ]
after their release, indicates that her
story is fabrication. L
EVANSVILLE, November THE
character of the girl Watkins, alleged to
have been abducted from here last Satur-
day, gives the impression that she was
a willing captive. She is from Ports
mouth, Ohio, and has lived here occa-
siOnally for year, most of the time
with people of doubtful character.
The Corpus Christi aud Rio Grande Rail.
way.
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, Novem-
Der THE Corpus Christi and Rio i
Grande railroad company organized !
here to-day, under charter of the ;
State of Texas. The line connects
this place with Sareda, and besides con-
trolling the Rio Grande trade, it will ex- ,
ercise powerful influence in checking
the border depredations and opening to i
settlement the rich lands of the Nueces
valley. Parties are being placed in the
field and the construction of the road
viii be rapidly pushed forward. Repre-
sentatives of northern capitalists are
here, and Colonel Thos. H. Robb, late
president Of the frontier commission,
mas accepted the presidency Of the road.
Much local enthusiasm is excited, and
is powerfully stimulating to emigration
and the trade of this place.
The RailrOsd Lock AZ Knoxville.
KNOXVILLE, November THE rail-
road lock continues. The attempt of {
the company to send out freight-trains !
from the city this morning failed, owing
to the engineer being prevented by force
from taking his engine out of the round
house. The company hBssued one hun
dred Of the strikers In the circuit court
for half million dollars damages, and
the sheriff served the notices this even
ing. The company has also sued an
other hundred Of the strikers in the .
chancery court, and obtained an in
junction restraining them from !
obstrncting the business of the
the company. An attempt will be made ,
to start freight-trains to Bristol
