NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.
Our returns come in slowly, and are rather mper-
feet, but as far as they go, cheering as the
most sanguine Wing could expect We are certain
OF having carried eight, probably nine of the thr.
clear Republican gain of FOUR members Of Con-
gress.
The intelligence which has reached US, and which
we publish below, justihes US in announcing the
following results, viz:
In this District, (Montgomery's) r. NJ. Saunders.
Opposition, is elected over DE-. James S. Smith, Ad
no change.
In the fourth District, (Charles Shepard's) VIM

majority over J. o. Watson, OppOstion-a Wing
gain.
In the seventh District. Edmund Deberry, Ad.
mnistration, is reelected by handsome ma iority
mo change.
In the sixth District, Archibald Arlington, Or.
POSITION Is elected, beating Hawkins, the late men,

rabe majority--a Wing gain.
In the tenth District, jCharles Fisher,s) Abr,r

tan' (there having been regular opposition) the
re election Of Edward Stanly and Kenneth Rayner,
Wings, IN the third and first Districts, and Of James
Mckay, Opp. in the fifth.
We have nothing from the second District (By-
num's) lfCherry is elected, we shall have mine
Wing members; If Ddniei is elected we shall only
have eight, taking it for granted as we do, that
Lewis Williams has beaten his opponent. and that
