33y T?lograpii ?w? Item?. WASHINGTON, October !)-P. M.-A U'LC" gram to the National Union Com mi ttee hero states that thc Kepublicans claim Philadelphia by only 5,000 majority, which is a large Democratic yuin, as compared with the election of 1804. Another despatch reports Republican gains in all the Western Counties; also in Eastern Ohio. We have no oilier reports as yet from the West. PHILADELPHIA, Oetober 9-P. M.-Some further returns have been received. Alle ghany County gives 9,000 majority for the ?adicals-the same as in 1861. Geary's ma? jority in Blair County is bim a radical loss of loo. Geary's majority hi Chester County is 2,300. The returns from this city show large gains for thc Democrats, who have also gained one State Senator (McCandlessJ and three members of tho Legislature. Returns from the interior continue to show gains for both parties in different Counties; but there is no doubt of Geary's election by from 10.000 to 15.000 majority. The Democrats have lost a member of Congress in the 10th District, Cake, Itopublican, being elected, probably by a small majority. MIDNIGHT.- -Forney's Press estimates thc majority for Geary in this city at 5,000, and in tho State at 15,000. A despatch from Thaddeus Stevens say? "LancasterCounty gives 6,200 Republican majority, and Allc ghany County certainly gives '.1,000 Repub? lican "majority." Forney claims the follow? ing gains for the Republicans: Cake in the 10th District, and Koontz in thc 13th Dis? trict for Congress. PHILADELPHIA, Oetober 10.-Geary's ma? jority in this city is 4,GO:}, and in the State from' 10.000 to 15,000. Randall, Democrat, for Congress, has 1,600 majority-a gain of 2.500. Kellv, Myers and O'Neil, Republi? cans, are elected by reduced majorities. Taylor, Republican, beat Ross in the 5th District, where the Democrats confidently expected a gain. Dennison, Democrat, is re-elected in the 12th District, but Ins elec? tion will bj contested on grounds of illegal votes in Luzerene County. Gen. Cake, Republican, is elected in the lOthDistrict a gain, lt is reported that John Goode, Republican, is elected in the 21st District, which would be a gain. The Pennsylvania Congressional delegation stands seventeen Republicans and six Democrats, with tho 21st District in doubt-Republican gain one. TUP Democrats concede Gearv's election by 10,000- Forney claims 15,000.' P. 31.-As far as heard from, (leary's majority will be about 15,000. The Repub? licans gain two members of Congress. NEW ?OKK, October 10.-Upwards of fifty women of ill fame perished by the foun? dering of the steamship Evening Star. The Tinten' Taris correspondent says the French troops will all be withdrawn at oui; time from Mexico, and that Maximilian will abdicate and be appointed Regent of tin Austrian Empire. The steamer Manhattan, from Vera Cruz on the 30th ult., via Havana on the 5th inst., has arrived. It was reported at Vera Cruz that Maximilian had taken a strong stand again in relation to retaining his empire in Mexico. That French money was on its way to him, and tho French troops will remain to support him. BALTIMOKE, October 10.-The municipal election is proceeding quietly, and the vote is confined exclusivciv to tho registration list. INDIANAPOLIS, October 10.-Tho election returns are very indefinite and unsatisfac? tory, but the Republicans claim the State by a reduced majority. 1st Congressional District, Niblaek, Democrat, is re-elected; 3d District, Hunter, Republican; 5th, Ju? lian, Republican; 0th, Colburn, Republican; '.Uh, Colfax, Republican; 10th, Williams, Republican; 11th, Shanks, Republican, lt is reported that the election in the 7th Dis? trict is very close. The returns are too in? complete to estimate thc complexion of tho Legislature. -P. M.-The returns come in very slow, and aro incomplete. The State ticket is generally conceded to the Republicans by 15,000 majority. In the 0th District, Co* buru, Union, has a majority of- 2,500-a Democratic gain of over 500 on the vote of 180-1. In the 2d District, Kerr, Democrat, is conceded to be elected. The 4th, 7th and 8th Districts are still doubtful. The Republicans claim eight Congressmen and a majority in both branches of the Legis? lature. Indianapolis and County, which went Republican, in 1805, by a majority of 1,300, gave Morton, for Governor, 000 ma? jority. Hon. Jann-s Hughes, Republican, of Marion County, is elected to the Legis? lature, which is a Union gain. CINCINNATI, October 10.-There was a spirited contest in the 1st District between Pendleton, Democrat, and Engleston, Re? publican; but the latter is re-elected by 500 majority-a loss of 1,000 on 1804. Fifteen Republicans are certainly returned to Con? gress, and perhaps seventeen. The Repub? lican State ticket is elected by a large ma? jority. Buckland. Republican, in the Otb District, is elected. This District the Democrats expected to gain. P.M.-The total vote in this city loots up 30,000-an increase of 3,000 votes over any previous election. Eggleston, Repub? lican, is elected over George H. Pendleton by about 900 majority. nisi i-lt ?-t Itt-ports. NKW y/onK, October 10-Noon.-Cotton firm, at 38(7i,4U. Flour lower. Wheat 2(? 3c. lower.

No arrests were made, although the police were present and witnessed the affair." COOLIES.-A foreign paper says about 5,000 Coolies were sent to the West Indies last year. Ten per cent, of the whole number died on the voyage, and one ship load of 202 souls were lost at sea. The scurvy has caused many deaths.

Ry command of Major-General D. E. Sickles. J. W. CLOUS, 1st Lt. OthvU. S. Inf'y, Bvt. Capt. U. S. A., Act. Asst. Adjutant-General. OFFICIAL: J. W. CLOUS, 1st Lt. 6th U. S. In'fy, Bvt. Capt. U. S. A., Act. Asst. Adj. Gen. A Western correspondent, writing from Illinois, says that one of the reasons why the ?South is kept pros? trate, is "in order that Western pro? duce may go over Eastern railroads to an Eastern market, iustead of going South, as nature designed." A printer in Detroit having pub? lished a challenge to any printer in the world to a trial of speed and skill in setting type, the challenge has been accepted by Mr. Edwards, a j compositor ou the Norfolk Old Do * minion. j In Haleigh, N. C., there are p b I lished three daily papers, one tri j weekly, one semi-weekly, six weeklies, one semi-monthly and one monthly, j This is a town of about 6,000 inhabi ! tants. THE FLOW OF GOLD TO THE UNITED STATES.-The London Review has tho fol? lowing: "Tho efflux of gold to the United States has continued on a somewhat larger scale than had been looked for. although, in fact, amounting to no great sum. After the enormous receipts from that country, ? a month or two back, it is not too much to j have to return some ?200,000or ?300,000 in t'vo or three consecutive weeks. The mo? t I satisfactory feature in the movement is the I confidence that it ?bows in the permanence ! of peace in Aun rica, and that, as far as investors are concerned, the renewal of the civil war is considered in the highest degree remote. As we have already had occasion to observe, this belief is not only felt by Englishmen and Germans, but bas latterly been ?hared by Frenchmen. The five-twenty bonds, which these shipments are made to pay for, arc as eagerly, if not more eagerly, bought in Paris as in Lon? don and Frankfort. Not very many years ago, scarcely any foreign securities were (ploted on the French Bourse, and it is significant to notice how great an altera? tion has taken place in this respect. Ex? cept on our own stock exchange, it may be doubted whether, in any other capital of Europe -not oven in Frankfort or Amster? dam-foreign investments arc now so largely held as in Paris. Formerly, native capitalists would take nothing but the rentes; now, they are ready to invest in Italian, Spanish, Mexican (unfortunately) and many other similar securities. Ex? cept, however, in raro instances, United States bonds have been in little favor, and hence thc significance of the present de? mand."
