THE GENERAL RESULT.

The returns at hand as we go to press are
too meagre to determine the general result in
the State, except that Charleston leads, Carks-
burg is second and Martiusburg ruled out.
1t is barely possible that Charleston may
have received votes enough to win in this
election but the probabilities are that the
contest will have TO he fought over again be-
tween Charleston and Clarksburg.
