The Georgia Election.—Very few and imperfect returns are yet received of the election which took place in Georgia for members of Congress and members of the State Legislature. The returns embrace only the counties of Richmond, Columbia, Burke and Hancock, which give an aggregate vote of about 1,500 for the States' Rights, or White ticket, and 1,050 for the Union, or Van Buren ticket. It is also said that the Union, or Van Buren ticket has a majority in Warren county. The precise majority is not stated; but be it what it may, the whigs prevailed in that county at the last election by one hundred and fifty.—Ibid.
