The debts of the State will be increased next year.
and will go increasing from year to year until
the whole Of the two millions authorized to be sub-
scrbed to the stock Of the North Carolina railroad
shall be called for. The governor estimates that
the debt Of the State in 1854 will reach the sum Of
,052, after all the appropriations for the
riously authorized Improvements shall be exhaust
ed. II will be seen that the old North State has

The election Of United States Senator for six
years from the 4th Of March next was consum-
mated to. day. and resulted in the choice Of Hon.
Richard Brodhead, of Northampton County, for
merly an efficient Representative of his District
In Congress. The struggle involved many pc
culiar and novel political features, and was at
tended with no little acrimony and personal ami
mostly.
The fight was between the two conflicting fac
tons Of the Opposition party-the Old Hunkers
and the Young Democracy-the one led and
drilled by James Buchanan-the other by Simon
Cameron. The triumph Of the latter branch of
the party is regarded as an occasion Of no ordi.
Hary interest and has been greeted with hearty
outburst Of congratuation from nine.tenths Of the
party. Mr. Buchanan is now nothing more than
political mummy without political Gliddon to
snwrap his investments and decipher the chro.
sology and inscriptions of his long career. Mr.
Brodhead, the successful candidate, is his avowed
enemy, and there will be no more trouble arising
from that quarter. The Tariff interest is now
predominant.
