County electious have besides been held in Tennessee, legislativo elections in Georgia, a Congressional election in Weet Virginia, and a Constitutional and State election in Arkansas. In the case of these last mentioned States any comparisons which might be iustituted with the last preceding vote would be exceedingingly favorable to the Democracy, but as elections are yet to be held in Georgia and Tennessee, as the returns from West Virginia are not complete, and as only one party voted in Arkansas, we shall not inolude them in the comparisons.
