The State elections.
Throughout the
Commonwealth, yesterday, elections were held for members of the Senate and House of Delegates.--In this city everything passed off quietly, and but a small vote was polled, as will be seen from the following statement:
From indications it seems that
Colonel August has been successful for the seat in the Senate, and that
Messrs. Scott,
Saunders and
Burr are elected to the lower House.
The army vote, however, may reverse that of the city, and we must await the returns therefrom before announcing definitely the names of the successful candidates from this city.
The vote of
Henrico county, as far as heard from, shows a decided majority in favor of
Mr. Joseph J. English.
At the court-house, English received 343,
Mayo 184.
English's majority, 159.
In the First Virginia regiment, at two o'clock, the vote was--
English, 16;
Mayo, 2.
At
Dickman's precinct, the same hour, the vote stood--
English, 14;
Mayo, 2.
We will publish other returns as soon as received.
