The result of the election throughout the State cannot be ascertained for several days to come, but we have learned enough to know that all of the large towns have given radical majorities. Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Columbia, Clarksville, Gallatin, Franklin, Pulaski, and Brownsville gave radical majorities. But it must be borne in mind that all those points the loyal leagues and militia did the work, while in the country districts the radical ticket was not near so successful in proportion to the votes polled. For instance: Memphis gives 2292 majority for Brownlow, while six districts in the county of Shelby cast over three hundred majority for Etheridge.
