By reason of gross blunders on the part OF the re-

cost for the various candidates and Offices trans

bv the People, except of Governor and Treasurer
though in fact the Wing Lieut.. Governor had more
votes than the Governor. Correcting the returns,
all the Wing ticket is elected. Whether the Le'

INVESTMENT OF VERA Cruz.

In another paragraph we express the opin-
ion that we would soon hear of this event
Our prediction is fulfilled. Vera Cruz is fully
and fairly invested by our troops. From the
accounts which will be found in another COL
umn, it will be seen that Gen. Scott has land
ed almost all his troops in fine style, and that
the fall of the beleaguered city cannot be far
distant The war is now assuming a most
deeply interesting aspect, and surely we have
reason to be proud of the manner in which
our citizen soldiery have sustained the honor
of the Union. May we not reasonably expect
that Mexico will soon be brought to terms
We think so-and we predict that she will be
ready and anxious to treat for peace on fail
terms before the LIST day of June next. We
will look with intense anxiety for the intelli-
gence from all parts of Mexico. The next
event which we expect to chronicle will be
the fall of the castle of San Juan D'ITlloa and
Vera Cruz. We shall endeavor to keep ouI
readers informed on all these important sub
ects

THE NEXT CONGRESS

It is very important that the next Congress
should be Democratic. For should the re-
verse be the case, the Federal majority would
stop at no measures to thwart and embarrass
the administration in any movement, no mat
ter how necessary for the well-being of the
country. About the Senate, of course there
is no doubt-of course it will be largely dem
ocratic. The House, however, is not so GER
tain, and our friends, in those States which
have vet to elect, should be earnest in their
endeavors to return Republican delegations.
In eighteen States elections have already been
held. The number of members elected, is, we
think, about 49, Of these there is majority
of Ia Federalists Sixty members are yet to
be elected, and we trust that we will not only
be able to overcome this majority but to re-
turn a handsome Democratic majority. This
will, in a great measure, turn upon the cleo
ton in Virginia. Should she be true to her
ancient faith, (and we think she willy the next
House of Representatives will undoubtedly
be Democratic. Her election takes place next
month, and every eye will be turned upon
her, anxious to witness the result From the
manner in which our own State has been
Gerrymandered, we can expect to do little
Three Democrats is all we can possibly ex-
pect to elect, make what exertions we will.
These we must elect at any rate.

THE GLORIOUS NEWS.

We need scarcely direct the readers atten-
ton to the glorious intelligence fromthe army,
contained in other portions of to-day's paper.
II will be joyfully read by every one. Well.
indeed, may we be proud of the prowess of
our gallant army. Again has it covered itself
with imperishable laurels. Again has Old
Rough and Ready" triumphed over the hosts
of the enemy. Bravely, indeed, have our gal
liant citizen soldiers demeaned themselves on
The red field of war; And grateful should we,
who are enjoying the pleasures OF our homes
and our fresides, be to them who are fighting
our battles on the soil of foreign land.
What Santa Anna will now do it is hard to
guess. We believe heis placed in such sit
uation that he must either fight or give up; for
we think that it will be impossible for hin. to
get back to San Luis Potosi in his present
miserable fix. He has no subsistence for his
troops, and he cannot, we think, in this desti-
tute situation, march back to his former posi-
ton. He cannot get to the valley of the Rio
Grande, where he could get supplies, without
passing over the dead bodies of Gen. Taylor
and his gallant little army. This he will new
er do. What, then, is he TO do' We would
not be surprized if he would be compelled to
| capitulate before ten days.
We will be constantly in the receipt of in
telligence from the seat of war, and we Will
endeavor to spread it before our readers at the
earliest moment.

col. LOUIS D. WILSON.

We have not yet been able to ascertain
whether this gentleman has accepted the Office
of Colonel of the 18th Regiment of Infantry,
which the President has conferred upon him.
Should he do so, his headquarters for the pres
ent will be New Orleans, and the Regiment
which he will command is to be raised in the
following States % companies from North
Carolina, from South Carolina, 2 from Mis-
sour, from Arkansas, and 2 from Texas
The Companies raised in North and South
Carolina will rendezvous at Fort Moultrie, S.
c.; those from Arkansas, Texas and Missouri,
will repair to Point Isabel. We think that
Gen. Wilson ought to accept the appointment.

RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY.

We would again call attention to the adver-
tisement of Lieut.. CANTwELL, the Recruiting
Officer at this station. The inducement which
the Government holds out to young men who
are willing to serve their country in the mill
tary capacity, is indeed great. We would
suppose that there are hundreds of young men
in North Carolina who would desire no better
chance than to enlist under the favorable cir
cumstances which are now held out Gov
eminent provides the soldier with every thing
whicI, is necessary for his support; food,
clothing, and lodging, so that, if he chooses,
he can save every penny of his pay. In adj
dition to this he receives SIP in cash as a pure
gift, and one hundred and sixty acres of land,
wherever he chooses 10 select it; or, if he
don't want the land, he may have in its stead
a Government bond for 500, bearing interest
at per cent per annum, which is just as good
as the cash North Carolina is only called
upon to raise two Companies, who are to be
commanded by citizens of North Carolina
Certainly we would suppose that these two
Companies could be raised in very few
weeks-days, we might say We trust, then,
that the old North State will not be backward
in furnishing her quota Of the troops necessa-
~ for the defence of the honor of the Union
