VIII regard 10 the result N the state. IL IS
believed that the Wings have succeeded. {
In Mississippi, it is said Foote is elected
Governor, by a tremendous majority. Ma
bors, in the 1st, Freeman, in the 3rd, and
Dawson, in the 4th Districts, Union candi
dates are all elected. It is supposed howev
er, that Neville, Secessionist is returned In
the Ord.
Michigan tells the same story that New
jersey does. Democracy succeeds with To-,
900 majority Governor and State Ticket e
lected.
The affairs ofMexico are IN a most giooH.y
condition. Apart from the disturbances and
revolt in the Nothern section, and the weak
and distracted administration Of her public
concerns at home, is the threatening attitude
Of her foreign relations. England demands
the payment of her debt, and threatens a
blockade of the Mexican ports, in case of re-
fusal. 1t is said that the English Minister
had requested Of President ARIsTA, an i'm
mediate reply to a dispatch Of Lord PAL
NERsToN upon the subject, and the nature Of
the reply would govern his future conduct
We have recent accounts from Utah. A
difficulty had arisen between Gov. You've
and the Officers of the Government, in con-
sequence of which most of the latter were
preparing to leave. 1t was said that the
Governor had squaadered the appropriation
of $4,000 made by Congress. and in en-
deavoring to obtain from the Secretary the
further amoun of $4,000, that officer OBJ
tanned an injunction restraining his proceed
ings.
The arrest of MFR. THRAsHER and bis in
generation in a dungeon in Havana, forms
a leading topic of remark in the papers. The
cause is said to be a connivance with the
late Cuban invasion. He was the Editor Of
the Faro Industrial, which paper was sup
pressed by order of the Government.
PLEASE CoRRECr.-We find an item going
the rounds of our exchanges to the effect that
Ben jam!n Fitzrandolph, of Baden county, N.
c., shot Joshua Bryan Of the same county, on
the 9th ult. This is an error and calculated
to prejudice Mr.. Fitzrandolph, who had moth.
ing more to do with the matter than we had
The name of the man by whom Bryan was
t shot was Thomas McLelland. The mistake
arose from some wrong information received
by the Fayetteville Observer, which paper
rectifed its error Immediately it became a
ware of its existence. By correcting this mis-
: take, our exchanges will confer a favor upor
us, and do justice to Mr.. F~itzrandoIph.
