North Carolina Election.

We nave only been able to gather the following
from our exchanges, respecting the elections in
North Carolina. In the First District, the candi-
dates were the Hon. T. L. Clingman and Col. Is
S. Gather. The returns are too few to form any
opinion as 10 the result. We have strong hopes
that Clingman is elected-he is too good South
ern man to be sacrificed upon the unhoy altar OF
Federal power.
In the Second District, Joseph P. Caldwell,
whig, is elected without opposition.
Green W. Caldwell, democrat, and A. Dockery,
whig, we're the candidates in the Third District
We have only partial returns, but they indicate
the election of Dockery. ~
In the Fourth District, James T. Morehead
whg, had no opposition.
In the Fifth District, that sterling advocate Of
Southern rights, A. w. Venable, and Calvin
Graves, democratic submissionst, were tie op'
posing candidates. The Ashevile Messenger
from which our information is derived, says Of
Mr. Veuable, "he is too ultra Southern rights
man to meet tlirir views"-Ineaning the s!ibmis-
sion party of the Fifth Congressional District
We have very little doub, that Mr. Venable is
elected
John R. Daniel, democrat, in theSixtli, and w.
s. .A.rie, democrat, in the Seventh, were elected
"hhort opposition. ~
We fear that Stanley, whig, has defeated Ruff
iu, democrat, in the Eighth District.
In the Ninth, Daniel Outlaw, whig, is elected
without opposition.

choice collection Of Valentines. We have
examined them, and can recommend those de-
sirous of purchasing, whether they want the
best and beautiful, or the grotesque and hu-
merous, to call and look at, them. All the
young folks will be exchanging Valentines
on the eventful day, and those who wish the
particularly neat or the excrutiatingly funny
shonld purchase without delay, before the
choice ones are selected.

COrydOn. KY.

MIR. EDrroR Through the columns Of
your very valuable Journal, will inform those
who are not aware of the fact, that there is
such place as Corydon, in Henderson coun-
w. KY, ten miles southwest from Hender-
sonvl.e, and six miles from the beautiful
Ohio.
Only two years ago the site was an unbro.
ken forest, hut now there is quite aattering
prospect Of considerable town being bull,
up. The surrounding neighborhood is SUI
ieientIy wealthy and prosperous to support
very lively business, and all that is now re-
quired TO set the business car in motion, is
tie location of some mechanics and men oil
business.
A blacksmith, carpenter, saddler, tailor. or
almost any kind of mechanic, would get
constant employment, and IL prices thai
would insure "a considerable proft-for the
work Of all mechanics bears fine price in
this section of country. Aud here | would
suggest to those mechanics who are engaged
in business where competition is 90 great that
they can scarcely make support, the great
advantage that would accrue to them in
moving TO place where work bears a good
price, and where they can get constant en-
ployment, instead Of remaining where they
are, to pine over "hardtimes," dull business
and loU prices. Also, the young man just
starting in business would find it greatly to
his advantage to settle in place where he
will not have the competition Of men perma.
nen,ly established. In new place all grow
up together.
In many towns, especially in your State
there are more mechanics engaged than Cal
make support or if support, nothing more
whereas if they would come to this place the,
would begin Immediately TO prosper. A sad
der here would get an advance Of so per CT
on work, over prices in Indiana; a tailor woul,
get 80 per cent, and a blacksmith would re
alze quite an improvement in prices. I an
acquainted with business in Indiana, an,
speak from personal knowledge.)
Now if any mechanic who wishes a goo,
, situation for business, should see this, let hin
: come a! once TO see the situation, and vii
: warrant that he will be pleased.

As no more ardent spirits will be sold in
Illinois in less quantity than quart, per-
haps it will not be drank in less quantities :
The House bill to suppress its sale at retail
passed the Senate to-day by a vote Of Is to 4.
The subject has proven vexatlous one ever
since i,s introduction, and-I am glad it is
finally settled. Whether such law will
meet the wishes ola majority of the people
is uncertain, and whether it will have ten
dency, to suppress incompetence 1" equally
uncertain. have observed the effects OF a
similar law in the Eastern part Of your own
State where majority of the people willed
its existence at the ballot box, and noticed
none Of the happy influences the friends of
the measure here seem SO confidently to an
ticipate.
In several townships there the "no Ii
ccnse" system existed a year, and only a
year. as many the very persons who were
at first enthusiastic in its support, at the ex-
piration Of that period, were equally enthusi-
astic in condemning and opposing it. Its ex-
isence injured the public treasury, while it
done nothing to lessen the use Of spirituous
liquors as beverage So predict it will
be in Illinois, although hope it may effect
good change. We shall see.
The bill to incorporate The Central Rail
road Company came up to-day in committee
OF the whole House, but its considerat on was
postponed until next Monday, 2 o'clock P. NJ.
The pos,ponernent was occasioned by fail
ure to get the bill printed in season for the
members to examine it's provisions.
A bill to incorporate the Alton and Terre-
Hauie Railroad Co. also came up, and gave
rise to an animated discussion which consum.
ed the balance Of the morning session. At 2
o'clock p NJ, the bill was read third time
and passed by an almost unanimous vote
only tour votes being against it, -
One half The time allowed by the Constisu
lion for the present Assembly 10 set, under

business Of the session is yet TO be disposed Of

The last trip up Of the Peytona, the pas

vivers Of the terrible di,aster by the sinking

Improvement Of Western Rivers. We pub
lish the proceedings in another place. By
this terrible accident over one hundred were
suddenly ushered into eternity, without a
moments warning. II this were but single

ton Of lie and property, it might be viewed
a. one Of those unavoidable circumstances
beyond the power of man to avoid. But
being only one oil a multitude of accidents,
nearly all accompanied by loss Of life and
property, and which as they have occurred
every month and almost week for years past.

remedy be provided-we are all interested
in knowing what this remedy is, and how il
may he provided. II lies in the hands OF
Government and TO her protecting arm alone
can we look for assistance in this matter
nextto the protection CT Providence ITSELF
Yet when this is known and felt by every
thinking or interested person, and appeal al
tcr appeal has been made, year after year
for this protection, no assistance has yet beer
rendered, and these terrible accidents are
permitted to mark the history of almost every
week. May we not ask our representatives
in Congress. what they have done to bring
about this twill Of the people - Each ont

ents, who does not lend his efforts to obtain

for protection to the East. Her member

securing appropriations for internal improve
ments are concerned-and we only ask tina
our members shall be the same.
