North Carolina.

The election for Governor and members OF
the Legislature of the State of North Carolina,
took place on Thursday Of last week. The
election of Governor turned, we believe, rather
upon questions of State policy, than upon the
distinctive merits of the parties in the General
Government. From the returns which have
reached us, we are led to the belief that Gov
ernor MANLY, the present very worthy Governor
of the State, and the Wing candidate for re.
election, has been defeated by his Democratic
opponent, Mr.. REID.
Of the election for members of the State Lee
gislatnre, we have not sufficient information to
enable us to pronounce any opinion upon the
result.-Ndt Lntelligencer.
We rather think that the Wing Convention
adopted a resolution in favor of the late Omni-
bus bill--while the Democratic went for Sc. 80
We are not aware that any change had occurred
in the other issues Of the two parties in that
State. But the Wing Convention proposed to
surrender to the North, and the Wing voters re-
fused to ratify the capitulation.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIvER.-The New Orleans
papers publish an essay on the physics of the
Mississippi river, by Professor Easbey the object
of which is to show, by the result of observa-
tons extending through series of years, that
the channel of the Mississippi river is deepening,
and, consequently, the levee system will not
necessarily elevate the bed of the river, as has
been feared. On The contrary, he thinks confin-
ing the river within narrow channel will give
it additional velocity and serve to scrape out the
bottom; while opening artificial outlets, by d.
minshing the current, will cause the rapid depo-
sition of sediment, and thus produce evil to be
guarded against.
