The returns received from of the State, up to the hour ol' goitjg to press, are perhaps too meagre to enable us to safely predict the result as regards the Congressional I- -I vote. We think, however, that the Whig candidates. Bowie and Benhain. are elected liy a very handsome vote over the two Democratic tickets. The State Jvurnal thus announces the in a tone, it seems to us, somewhat triumphant; The agotjy is over.

The battle has heen lost, and the victory won The Whig Congressional ticket Is elected. The votes are not counted yet. nor are the estimated returns in. hut it is nevertheless certain that the Whigs have carried their and a sweeping on joint ballot in the The Journal, -however, claims that the Democrats will still have a majority in the Senate sufficiently large to secure the election of a Democrat to the U. S.

Senate. We give almost complete returns front this county, for which we are indebted to the industry of Ned Tracy, of Adams Express. It will he seen that Dr. jjates, Whig, is elected to the Assembly by a largo majority and that Win. Dalngerfield.

the Democratic candidate for District Judge, carried the county a still greater majority. From the returns already received, it is safe to say that Mr. D. will enter Butte with upwards of 700 majority, and is elected beyond all preadventure. Win.

S. Hughes, Democratic candidate for Assessor, and Wm. McGee, for Comity Surveyor, have also received handsome majorities over their con petitors. In Trinity the result is somewhat singula Congressional candidates and Mr. Daingerfield carrying the county by a majority of more than 300 votes; while the Whig candidates for Assembly, County Jmjge, Sheriff, and County Clerk, with the exception of the last named, are all electeil by large majorities.

our old correspondent.it will be seen, has triumphed by a very handsome vote. Ned is a glorious fellow, a good business man, a ready writer, capable, the very soul of honor, make an admirable a. health to Ned Kowe. Long may you Personal lt is a fact well' known in this community, that no one connected with the Courier establishment was up for office at the recent election. Now we do not pretend that our not being candidates was the consequence of a lack of confidence in our own abilities, but rather, as wo fondly Hatter otitsclves, to a failure on part of the voters to appreciate those abilities.

At all events we, were not candidates. And yet, in the face i this well known fact, we are positively assured that several friends, in the ardor of that personal admiration with which we bad inspired them, not to bolt the regular tickets, and east their suffrages for ourselves, Senior and Jijnior. respectively for the offices of Magistrate and Constable. fellow-citizens, the vote stands For Magistrate, Senior for Constable, Junior 3. Such is the effect of per- 1 sonal popularity.

are gratified to be able to add, that these votes were cast irrespective of parly associations. Wo do not hesitate to say. in the language of a San Francisco Snob, when receiving a cane at the hands of a selec circle of Snobs, that this is happiest moment of onr Capt. Harry Love, the destroyer the famous bandit Joaquin, turned Benedick just before his departure for the Atlantic States, lie to the charms of Mrs. Mary Ben, i i nett, of Santa Clara.
