Yn the early part of the evening despondency ‘seemed to'be the ruling mania. There was nene of that Jjoyfuldash whieh is always to be found among the party ‘which ie confident of suocess. A cloud seemed to hover over the nasembiage, and the utmost trepidation and ex” “eitement were depicted upon every countenance. At eight ePcteck the meeting-wae ‘culled to order, when Mr. Charles 8. Sponcer waa appointed chairman and Mr. |S. A. Bancesesretary, Mr. Srevosn, op taking the ebair ‘came forward rather sodestiy and said that arrange. mente Red been made at the Fifth Ward Hotel to send on the returns, both of the city and Mate, to that headquar. tere, Tho prospects were that they (the republi party) were défeaied in tbe city and also in the state, (Atal im the sedwnece,) If hey went down defeated they would go down to the botiom firing their guns and the water bubbling over them. They would, however, defeat or victory, prosecute this war to the bitter end, until the iron heel of the Union would crush into nothing ness the hearts of rebeldom. Applause, cheers, quiet, igcussion, jocutarity aud something of a “give up” appearance on the part of the audience greeted the remarky ef Mr. Spencer. Segars received an extra strong puff from those who smoked, the latest French style of bat worn by most of the audience were more firmly compressed upon the head, and the dark cloud seemed io grow still darker. ‘The returne from the different districts of the city here begam to come in somewhat rapidly, all giving sarge majorities for Seymour. The announcements of there returns were, Of course, met with silence, and, ge- nerally speaking, with a good deal of good humor, Mr. Speneer, the chairman, secompanying each reading with a well-timed pon. ‘The Trieh citizens who voted for Brooks Teceived some of the gentleman's compliments, he assert- sg that they were indeed true representatives of Chria- tianity—as, Brooks having emotten them on one cheek, they kindly timed to bim the other. There was no doubt in that gentleman's mind that Jamee Brooks bad been elected to Congress. Return after retary now came ia from the city, the chairman advising the audience to cheer as beartily and loudly as possible when they bad a chance, a3 he did not think they would have very many opportunities to do 60 that evening. The room was rent with applause whenever ashight gain was announced for Wadeworth in apy of the Aietricts. Nine o’elock found the headquarters crowded to over- flowing, avd also brought in the intelligence from the telegraph that Ben. Wood had been elected over Walbridge by a large majority. Three etentorian and hearty gross were here given for this intelligence. Mr. Srexcen—Whatever may be the resuit of this election, I will say that old Abe Lincoim will remain in power fur two years more. A Vowe—Look out for the draft in those districts: (Laughter) ‘ Conversation aud by-play om the partof the audience filled up the interim hetween the coming inof the returna, and mutual dashes of condolevee and spleen were put forth. A mgular artillery fire was kept upon all sides, and bomb shelle were thrown out into the camp of the enemy, ‘dui which never reached or probably were not intended to Teach that sacred source. From ope side of the room to the other speaking messengers were despatched, and alto” gether rather @ ploveing comedy was evacted. Dialogues such as the following occurred: — Dearne Rarvriicas—} guess we are about played out. Horsrci. Rervericas—I am waiting for the fret gun from the country, where men read and write, where there are but few rum shops and no gambling hells.

This fact was dwelt upon, however, with somewhat of philosophy, and a condoling remark made that, ‘Thank Providence, thoy would bot be beaten by over 25,€0@ majorityjin the city.” ‘Yhe Cmarraras remarked that if the audience in any way wished to calm their ardor they might sivg, whistles stamp, or do anything else they pleased in tbat line, Some of the happy throng here commenced to whistle, others to hum John Brown's march, others to give that musical utterance peculiar to a rooster crowing, and thus entertained thomec!ves for some time. A cong was thea called for, and after tumuitous applause Mr. McDonala, of the Twentieth ward, came forwar@ and gave somewhat excellently “Tis Sweet for Our Country to Die.” At the conclusion of this somg loud calis were made for Horace Greciey; but that gentle- man not being present his white eost did not come forward and relieve somewhat the darkness of feeling which now secmed to be growing stronger and stranger in the room. Fernando Wood, James Brook, Hiram Walbridge and Ben. Wood were likewise similarly benored, but failed ratber modestly to come forward: Next eame « John Brown's Body,” which was sung with ‘@ gusto by the whole audience. Mr. Spencer followed in another lengthy peroration, and concluded by saying that it was evident ne had played the leading part jn that tragedy Jong enough. He proposed to wait wutil the report of the fret gun bad been beard from the country. C. H. Suamnon, Eeq., next spoke, and said that be did pot fear the result. This was not the first place in which we bad met reverses. Whatever might transpire we should commence this battle over again. At tenfo’clock Mr. Srmxcrn read from the Express that (he town of Poughkeepsie bad given 114 majority for Wadsworth. He also read returns which he had received from twenty-three towns in Southern New York, giving Wadsworth 4,000 majority. The most tremendous euthu siasm followed these announcements, The whole audience now began to grow quite cheerful, and hundreds were found ready aud willing to bet that Wadsworth was elect- ed. In the early part of the evening there could searcely be found two persons who believed that the republicay candidate for Governor had the slightest chance of election; but when those returns wero received the revulsion of feeling was singularly strong. John Brown's melody was agai eung witb variations and ad- ditional gusto. ‘The meeting was kept up until near midnight, aud at. that time—several rather unfavorable accounts having come in from the State—the meet adjourned in rather asourbre mood, John Browa’s inclody was aot sung the third time. BEN. WOOD'S HEADQUARTERS. Great Enth jm Among the Friends of Mr. Wood—He is Miected by 3,517 Majority Over Walbridge. ‘The Hon. Benjamin Wood made one of the large apart- mente at Delmanyeo’s bis headquarters last evening fer the purpose of receiving the election returns of the Fourth Congressional district, and winning the Jeurels of 4 devided victory, far beyoud what was anticipated by bis most sanguine eupperters. The tranquillity which per- vaded the city throughout the day aud the ussurance of @ grand democratic victory caused the proceedings at Mr, Wood's headquarters to he cartied on in a very calm and upostentatious manver. Everything in connection with the affair was aberactorized by the great ent confidential coolness, and we never vafore ré. member @ more gentlemanly apd collected body of democrats 10 have ansembled togetber on an ov. oasion of #0 great importance. The room was crowaéd by several of the solid democrnts of New York, as well ag the votes the | by those of less protensiuns, pecuniarily and otherwise and but one single idea roomed to preyail—thet of the election of the whole democratic ticket.

The figures were footed up, and a clear majority of 3,517 votes for Mr- Wood was announced asthe result, wherewpon three eten™ torian cheers rang out for thé candidate elect, for Bey- mour and the whole democratic ticket.

This closed the anxiety of Mr. Wood’s political cam" Paign for Congreas. He proposed to his friends a visit to old Tammany to see how the war horse was ot work in harnose, and thither they went rejoicing. SCENES AT THE ASTOR HOUSE. An Immense Assemblage Awaiting the NReturns—Speech of Gen. Walbridge, d&e. From an early hour in the evening till midnight we spacious bar of the Astor House, which can accommodate two thousand peopie, together with all the avenues lead- ing vo it, Were crowded by persons desirous of learning the most reliabie and speedy intelligence of the result of the election in the city and throughout the State. The large demovratic majority given for Seymour in New York fairly astounded leading politicians who worked for bis election, and it ie Beedless to add that the most san- guine expectations of the Seymourites were more than realized. ‘ eral Hirain ‘Nalbridgo. the war democratic candi. date for the Fourth Congressional district, bad bis bead- quarters in one of the parlors of the Astor House, and he ‘was surrounded by bis friends, who, notwitustanding the immense odds they bad to work against, did nobly im their eflorts to return the patriet and the orstor, whose devotion to the cause of ihe Union and the govern. ment pot even his enemies have dared to question. As soon as it was deGnitely known that Ben. Wood haa car- ried the district by over two thousand majority, Geveral ‘Walbridge was called upon for a speech. Ho responded as follows:— To wae LoyaL Consiivional Mew OF TER G1LoRioUs Yourra Dys:micr:—in closing the brief aod brilliant cam- paign of the last three days, I have to tender you my cordial thanks for the manner in which you baye ruilicd to the defence of the coustitution, the Union and the eupremacy of law. Last Friday aight @ sulien gloom rested on this city that the contest in this district was to de without remonstranes against the return of the present momber, whose re-election wili bo bailed throughout the disloyalSouth and abroad as an evidence that the people of this great commercial district are in favor of a separa Yon of there States anit the overthrow of this constitu- tional government. Impelied by considerations of pablic duty, and having been waited upon by sume citizens toan- Dounce myself a candidate for the suffages of tho loyal peo- pleof this district, I announced myself a candidate lor the suftrages of the constitutional Uniou men of this glorious Fourth district. in Jess than three days we have reduced & majority of six thousand to nearly balf thot number. ‘As tho tidings of our canvors aro borne npon the clectric Wires throughout the eouptry, the hearts of loyal men bave beep animated with the assurance that this contest wag not abandoned, and although our banner traile in de- feat our houor is uutarnishea. The brevity of our cam- paign bas only boen equalied by its briiliancy, and T can- not close it without tendering to you my vomdial, sincore and grateful acknowleigments. 1 capecinlly thank the loyal preas of thia city, who bave come so gallantly to rescue. Without office, without organization, simply following the impulses of # Joyal people, we have*iemon- Strated that iv asingle week we could bave redeemed this district and caused her to bona ed the floor of the national representation a position befitting her dignity, ber commerce and her intelligence. For myseif i have Congress posecssed no fascinations for me; it down to-night, with pleasant dreams, ssovenees that men, true men, al men, consiiutional Union loving mea wiil every- where extend to me their cordial and sincere thanks for rege endeavored to prevent areturn to Congress of the only member who bad the bardibood in the last Congress to insult the digmity of the great people by enunciation of sentiments not iu harmony with their ia terests and with their honor. ‘The next two years is to decide the fate of constitntional government throaghout the earth. ‘This interlaviog and civil strife will be wrmi- nated during the period of the next Congress. As a citizen of this old commercial district, long identified with iis commercial and-business interests, ifoudly hoped tat some citiven would be selected to represent it: dignity, and its hovor, whe could mingle in the disenssiops consequent upon the vew adjustment of affairs which will necessarily take place; but i! the past is to be any criterion of the iuture the discussions that will transpire in that body, we are to have no representative capable of meeting io ‘that arena and representing with becoming ability nnd dignity tho great interests confided to him. I canot ciose these remarks without again teu dering my thanks to you who bave stood so gal Ny by me in this brief but givrious contest. You have demonu- strated what you could have acheyed with time and sufficient organization, and 1 jee) prouder to bave thrown myself unreservedly on the unbought suttrages of the people, whose justiocts are alwu; sympathies right, and whose ‘are in accordance with t preservation of this Union and the perpetuity of these States. Myself @ national war democrat, identivie! from my youth and association to the great and ordinal principles that constitute tbe basis of the democratic creed, Iam ounstrained Wo tender my grateful thanks to to those who differ from me ov peiitival questions for the manner jn which they bave stood by me in this contest every pubic uroal inthis cy Tags tender my cor pal oi tender my cor- dia! thanks, and I conclude by remarking " Far more true joy Marcelins, exile, fecle, Than and the Senate at bis beeis. These remarks gave great satisfaction to Genera) Wal- bridge's friends, who laborod so faithiully for his election, People's Union Headquarters. The People’s Union headquarters, at the corner of Broadway and Eighth street, was visited by one of our reporters last evening, in the hope of seeing the (riends Of the respective candidates of this party awaiting the returns of the election; but the building was closed upr and there was not the slightest indieation of the exist, epee of such ap organization, Old Tammany and the Rewspaper offices seemed to be the grand rallying points of all desireus of learning the result of the exciting con” teat of the day. SCENES AROUND THE HERALD OFFICE. With sunset came trooping around the Henaso office seores of citizens awaiting the developments op our Dulletin. By seven o'clock the scores had grown into hundreds, aud by an bour or two later the streets on each side of the building (Nassan and Fultou) were impassable, owing to the immense throng that bad bocowe wedged iu there. The half dozen doors opeuingjnio the couuting room bad been taken off their hinges, 8 make mere room for the swarming multitude, and as to the intorior of the office, the sweltering hundreds that took pessession of it early in the evening but out the possibility of any ine crease to their mumbers, Then the outsiders pressed wpon each other, gathered On each other's spoulders, and some climbed up the windows and lampposts to get a clear view at the bulletin board, the result of which reconnois, sance iu force they communicated to the boste iu the back- ground, These echoed and re-echoed the reports of demo- cratic victories in the various wards, and discharged such peals of thundering cheers as ovly the huge fisted and stout Innged masses can achieve. Just around the corner in Apn street the youngsters—the futare demo- cratic voters and fighters—enjoyed themselves around a huge bonfire, and danced and sung and hurrabed for gey- mour and Ben. Wood to their bearts’ content. It wana scene Which can only be wijnessed at cloction time, and then only at elections wherein such intense interest was Man) ‘ested and such momentous jesues were involved as was the case in the etruggle which ended with last even- ibg’s sinking of the sun. ‘The ward of which the vote was earliest precared and exhibited op the Brnarp bulletin board was tho Second, That bid given last yoar a republican inajority, and nob much wos expected from it; but when the figures showed A democratic majority Of 63, against a republican majority act year of 100, the ombusisem of the crowd broke out in weeiferous cheers for Revmour.

Wood,” tte ehoies, came, for tremendous cheers; and the tak among tbe ¢ grited crowds was that the Btate was safe; that Foymourg would be the next Governor of New Yorks; that there ywould be no draft; that peace would soon be restored; that the eternal nigger would be left at home .0 re @e cotton, rice ‘and tobacco, and that Ge Wadsworth *soukl be «pared to tho residents of the federal capita), ‘long 1 reign ‘over them.”” And yet the interest felt ia the eicction of Reymour seemed to be crystalized in & Te@markable manner with a feeling of much greater inte aity on behalf ef Bon. and Fernando Wood. Many who amight not have cared a straw how the State went would have been sadly disappointed if any mishap befels etter of the brothers. The Wal- bridge men bad vauishod from the scene, and some one ‘said that chaps who had pocketed their fifty dollars apiece: to work for the Geveral bad coolly waiked off early in the day, eatistied that their ‘patron did not ‘sted the yhost of achance.”’ In the crowd such dialogues as she fol- Jowing took place:— “Well,” says » Wood man, after the result of the eleo- ton in the First and Second wards appeared ou the buile” tin, “it’s all safe for Ben, Wood, anyhow.” “Why,” said a democrat to whom this remark was ad@- dressed, “would you vote for such a man as Ben, Wood?” “Aye,” said the other, ‘damned if I woulda’s and didn’t, He's the only white man on the ticket. ‘A ByeraNpeR—That's what he is. “Well,” eakd-demoerat No, 2, “I voted the demooratic tieket, bat P@ ee Ben, Wood in hell wefero Pa vote for | him? ‘To this the admirer of Benjamin rejoined:— “] knew he's not a sckolar, but he votes right.

Fastipiova Dewocrar—! voted for Odell. Demcckat—who had no claims to fuatidiousness, but who was a good Seymour man—Well, I'm damned if Va vote for Qdell. I’d rather vote for Humphreys. About this time the bulietin showed that Ben. Wood was clected,and at once there were cheers for ‘Ben., Ben., Ben, Wood,” from a bundred throats, the boys around the bonfire in Ann street taking up the shout and dancing like little imps about and through the burning embors—bellowing out in their little treble tones—' Ben- Wood's elected) Hurrah for Den Wood!” Ab announcement from the Sixth ward changed th® current thought and conversation, and when the figures showed that that paradise of democracy had decided against Wadsworth by the sweeping vote of ten to one— 2,145 against 200—there were cbeors for the “loody Sixth’? which seemed to shake the very building, Then the Seventh ward ‘ whovied into line,’? as the War Forse’? of democracy would gay ,and showed its verdict of 2,821 for Seymour, against 796 for Wadsworth; and again the cheers went up,end the boys shouted “lurrah for Seymour,” and danced around the bontire, and every- body seemed happy. Occasionally some half-hearted democrat or some sti}; hoping republican would bazard a suggestion that unless Seymour carried the city by thirty thousand majority there might be a chance of bis defeat; but this half- expressed fear was drowned in the geveral conidence and Jubilation, and every fresh announcement that figured on the bulletin board exercised anew the throaia of the crowd, and stifled every approvension and every hepe that Seymour might siill be defeated. Thus the scene went on till about eight o'clock, when, under the line “Ben. Wood is ejected,’ the young gentle- man with tbe paint pot—the most popular operator pre- sent—tottered out the full sentenec, ‘*Peroando Wood is elected ;”” and then from the inside of the office the cheers: broke forth and were taken up on the outside, and carried to the young imps around the benfre, until all.jolued in ‘the general acclaim, About nine o'clock the returns from thirteen wards ehowed a democratic majority of some twenty thousand, and even the least sanguine figured out from that an ag- gregate majority from the twenty.two wards of this city of thirty thoueand, and the boys felt assured that all was well. This assurance found veut in reiterated cheers for Seymour and Ben. Wood and Fernando Wood, and deri- sive inquiries ef¢Where are you, Horace Greeleyt” “Where are your 900,000 warriors?’ and groans for Wadsworth and the woolly heads. And as the night wore on and the returns trom the city became more complete, and those from Kings county and the distant counties commenced to come in, the boys became more noisy and more enthusiastic; and it is probable that a report of tho fail of Richmond would not have delighted them halt so much or raised their spirits to anything like sueb a pitch of joyourness as did the conviction that James 8, Wada- worth was defeated 1n his aspiratione to become the next Governor of New York. incidents of the Election. Among the incidents of the election was a curions scene which ocovrred in the Pridune office about midnight, Quite a crowd was assembled there, most of whom were evidently democrats, judging from their repeated ebecr- ing for Seymour, when a tall German, with gray hair and wearing spectacles, entered, avd called for a eheer for Wadsworth aud another for a*‘free republic.’ and so on» all of which wero partially responded to, but not with much gusto, whereupon the enthusiastic indi- vidual called for three eheors for Jefierson Davis. This created some excitement and some doubt among the crowd as to who catled for the cheers. The police, who were present, arrested a respectable citizen and a democrat, supposing bim to be the guilty party; but upon clearing bimseif of the charge be was released, and at once pointed out the real culprit, who was taken to the station house, and, having there acknowledged that he was tho party concerned, be was locked up, to await the action of the Provost Mersbal this morning.
