The news come in very slowly from the Valley and Eastern portion of the State, the telegraph lines being generally in confusion and railroad transit interrupted, so that we will probably not have anything like an authentic report for some weeks, even if then.-In some portions of the valley, and even in the tidewater region, the Union men appear to have made desperate stands in detached localities, where they thought themselves strong enough to resist outside pressure; but their votes will probably never be counted, and even if counted, will not probably amount to much in the general result. The election in the in the Eastern part of the State appears to have been conducted strictly on the French military system, all citizens being free to vote, provided they voted for Louis Napoleon.
In the Western part of the State there is an overwhelming Union vote. The twenty-five counties represented in the recent Wheeling Convention give an aggregate majority against secession of over 20,000; the four counties comprising the Panhandle alone piling up 6,828 against 481. In other counties not there represented, and in some thought to be given over to rebellion, there are also very large Union majorities. The returns from very few of them are in full, but the following list may be set down as very nearly correct, some of the figures being official:
| County | Against Sec. | For Sec. |
| Hancock | 658 | 23 |
| Brooke | 721 | 109 |
| Ohio | 3,156 | 159 |
| Marshall | 1,993 | 142 |
| Monongalia | 2,232 | 123 |
| Tyler | 880 | 125 |
| Harrison | 1,691 | 691 |
| Preston | 2,256 | 63 |
| Lewis | 300 maj. | |
| Wood | 1,955 | 257 |
| Mason | 1,844 | 119 |
| Pleasants | 303 | 108 |
| Morgan | 1400 |
| Wirt | 400 |
| Doddridge | 650 |
| Taylor | 700 |
| Kanawha | 1200 |
| Berkeley | 700 |
| Jackson | 400 |
| Barbour | 350 |
| Marion | 450 |
| Cabell | 600 |
| Wayne | 900 |
Below will be found the vote in our special bailiwick, as polled off Thursday last, showing how overwhelmingly in the minority are those among us who sympathize with the Southern Confederacy. The number of those voting that way in Hancock is 23, in Brooke 109. It is with sorrow and regret that we are called upon to chronicle the fact that so large a proportion even as that, in the good counties of Brooke and Hancock, can be found willing to record their names as enemies to the constitution of the United States and traitors to the country. We know that many others voted that way from personal reasons that ordinary circumstances we would be the first to honor them for, but under the circumstances in which the country now stands, we know of no excuse to palliate conduct which, however much private feelings may justify it, the verdict of a just public opinion will forever condemn. However, as a correspondent from Hancock well observes, no word from us would give additional coloring to the deed. Below will be found their names. Having separated themselves from the mass of good citizens by their own voluntary and public act, they of course cannot object to their names going before the public in that capacity. Whatever of honor, whatever of gratification there is in it, they are welcome to it; it is an important duty to the public in whose midst we and they reside, that we should give their names, so that should emergency arise that same public may know whom to watch and how to set:
