When the official vote comes to hand, we shall
obtain it and then republsh table in corrected
form.
In Currtuck and Camden we understand the Wings
have reelected their Senator by % majority, and in
Macon County they have reelected Mr.. Hicks by IL
majority. This leaves the Commons 60 to 60, nd
the Senate, with Capt Berry in his seat from Or
ange, to which he is justly ented) 25 to 25 but if
Mr.. Waddell should hold on to his certificate and
be admitted to his seat the Senate would stand "a
Democrats, 26 Wings. 'r
The Whig papers admit that they have been de-
eated in this election. If do carry the State
in the Fall for Cass and Butler, it will be the fa
of the Democratic party. ll' - =

CASS AND BUTLER CLUB.

We were too much indisposed to attend the Cass
and Butler Club Saturday night last, but we learn
from friends who pr esent that the Court House
was well filed and that the most enthusiastic spirit
prevailed.
A Resolution, offered by Mr.. Busbee, was adopt
ed requesting the President of the Cass and Butler
Club to propose to the President of the Rough and
Ready Club that they unite in addressing letter to
Gen. Taylor to ascertain his opinions upon the Will
mot Proviso and in relation to the consttutonaity
and justice of the Mexican War. Will the Rough
and Readyites agree this? And should they agree,
will Gen. Taylor answerl We shall see.
We understand that spirited and effective speeches
were delivered by Maj. Stokes and Captains Buck
and Singeltary. Maj. Stokes dwelt upon the con-
duct of the Whig leaders in relation to the War
said that every intelligent American in Mexico felt
and knew that Federalism at home was prolongng
the War; and that leading Mexcans frequently OBJ
served, at the same time exhibiting Whig speeches
and Whig newspapers, that when Mr.. Polk was put
out of power and the Wings came in, they would
get just such peace they desired. Maj. Stokes,
who has had the ampest opportunity kno,o the fact
stated it his opinion that fourfhs of the North
Carolina Regiment would vote for Cass and Butler.
Capt. Singeltary came out boldly and eloquently,
and cut himself loose at from all connection or
association with the Wing party. He said he had
been educated in the Whig fah and had been class
ed with that party; but he had examined for him
self, and determined for himself, and he was now
volunteer in the Democratic ranks. He should vote
for Cass and Butler. Well and bravely said! 1t is
an animating spectacle-a high-hearted, sensitive,
gifted young man casting off old opinions because
they are erroneousrampling under foot all pecuni-
ary or private considerations in order that he NAV
embrace the truth and follow it! We welcome the
Captain with three times three into the great Demo-
cratic family.
We are gratified to find that the meetings of our
Club are constantly increasing in interest and enthu-
siasm. The right spirit is abroad, and November
will show the best results. Brother Democrats of
the State! keep your powder dry, and your fnts
we'll picked The flame is up-let US keep it burning.

From THE WEST INDIEs.--The Hurricane and
Earthquake.-Letters have been received at Bos-
ton from ST. Croix and St. Thomas, stating that the
reported damages by the late hurricane in the West
Indies at these places are incorrect The accounts
Of the damage done at other places, however, Isl
confirmed by the arrival on the both inst, New
York, of the brig Falcon, 6 days from Bermuda,
with Hamilton papers to the 18th inst. The latest
is filed chiefly with accounts of the hurricane Of
August 21st, at Antigua, Nevis, st. Kits, Saba
and ST. Johns. During the progress of the gale
severe shock of earthquake was felt at Antigua. A
French schooner which left Martinique with y pas
sengers, bound thence to NewYOrk or Europe, was
lost on the morning of the storm, with all ON board
The statement contained in the following para

Harriet SeCtOn SlDOrn.-On the night OF the nre
Harris was in bed with her asleep. He went to bed
Immediately after supper, about shutdown, or be-
fore dark. He remained in bed until she woke him
up and called his attention to the fire. the light OF
which was shining in the room. He told her she
was foolish, twas the moon, and said, d-n you,
come to bed He at last got up and went to the fire.

occurred. Twas after good long sleep. Harris
was absent from the house while the fire was burn
ing Wished him not to go to the fire, because she
was afraid he would drink, and when he drank he
was in the habit of abusing her. The conversation
Boman overheard she supposes to have occurred on
a night she was speaking of her want OF some
household articles, and was upbraiding him with
neglect of his work Stackhause's buildings, to
attend as witness for colored man, for which ne
was discharged.
Direct examination resunled.-DOes MT think 1t
possible Harris could have gone out while she was
asleep, without her hearing it. He would have to
pass through two doors and a gate, all locked The
rOom-doOr she knows was locked when she awoke.
Mr. BOsDleS SWorn.-Has known Harris some
time. Always knew him to be a Woodworking
man. The only fault he knew in him was that he
drank little too much sometimes.
The testimony for the defence closed here.
The District Attorney, in summing up the evil
dence, prefaced his remarks by observing that he
had known the accused some years ago, when he
was an active and jealous member of a tenn
perance association, over which he 1.-THE District
Attorney presided, and regretted to hear from
witness who had been on the stand that he had
broken his pledge Harris must. attribute this Sc
rious difficulty in which he found himself to the
violation of his promise to refrain from the use of
intoxicating liquors. From what he knew of Har-
rs personally, he should not think him capable of
the crime; but there is always, added Mr.. Sewer,
beginning to crime, and then he went on to argue
that the evidence justified committal for trial
After few remarks from the counsel for the de-
fence, the Recorder said that the evidence, In
particulars, led supposition of guilt but,
as it was a case that admitted of great doubt, in
consideration of the prisoners previous good char
acter, he would discharge him. The accused was
accordingly discharged.

ANOTHER COURT MARTIAL.-Senator Benton,
in his speech recently published in the Inteigencer,
has been very severe on several of our army officers,
and Major w. H. Emory has now demanded a
Court Martial to investigate charges made by the
Senator against him. Tie following is an extract
of his letter to the Adjutant- General:
''These charges pronounce unfounded calum-
MES; but, in Difference to the place where they are
pretended to have been uttered, 1.-THE Senate of the
United States,) without the least regard to the in
dyidual who utters them, have to request that an
officer be directed to put these charges in form, and
that be tried on them before Court Martial forth
with; my object being to put an end to this long
continued clamor, by showing that all these charges
are, in truth, devoid of the least foundation; and
also to expose the fraudulent manner in which his
torica facts have been distorted, and testimony de-
liyered before the proper legal tribunals of the
country has been mutated at the expense Of truth
and candor'

Mexican Military COLONIES

We received a few days ago, with our Mexican
papers, map of the territory of Mexico as it is
left by the treaty of Guadalupe. This map shows
the position of the military colonies which the
Mexican Government is about to establish for the
security of her frontier The colonies, fortified
posts will form a kind of Gordon militaire around
the northern portion of the Republic, from CamargO
on or neal the Rio Grande, to Rosales in Lower
California, following the course of the boundary
line which divides Mexico from the United States
The adoption of this measure shows plainly, that
whatever motive may have induced Mexico to
make peace with us, she still retains dread of
our superior power, and an evident suspicion that
we will not hesitate to use it for still further en-
Iargng our territory at her expense. Conscious of
her own weakness and inability to cope with us,
she has adopted this pIan-the establishment Of
foreign military coonists in her own dominions-to
sustain her in the struggle which it would seem
she considers inevitable. The policy of the mea-
sure may well be doubted, for if a country cannot
rely upon the integrity and patriotism OF its own
citizens it is not reasonable to expect greater sac
rifices from strangers. 1t may, however, be wise
expedient. The waning power of Rome was long
preserved by the adherence of the barbarians VINO
settled within her territories and became Roman
citizens, and Mexico may in like manner find in
foreign colonists the virtue and valor which she
acknowledges do not exist among her own people.
But the experiment is dangerous. The experience
of history teaches us that government which
relies for its support upon the hired services of mer-
cenaries, is liable either to be overturned by lis
own defenders, or succumb to the greater energy
of other nations, whose armies fight for their coun
try and not for pay. The first essay of Mexico In
this affair was un fortunate enough to teach her a
lesson. The battalion of San Patricio, in which
the Government placed most confidence, was the
first to engage in conspiracy when its interests led
it in that direction Its example will, doubt, I'M
der similar circumstances, be followed by the mill
tary colonists to whom Mexico is about to confde
her safety, and instead of gaining servant she
will find too late that she has given herself master.
