BALTIMORE. Nov. 6-5 p. m
As remarked yesterday, The returns come in slowly.
Only few OF the wards have YET been counted Some OF

mosuing Enough however, is known 10 show that
the democrats have gained overwhelming victory
They their wel.known principle of adhe.

democracy stood firm, and, with comparatively few OK.

sion Is that the entire democratic ticket including Stale
and local officers, Is elected by very large majority

teen years of age residing In churchs1Ie, was
shot by n boy aged Is years, by the Bameof Pot

exertion, whercupon quite a spirited scuffie
ensued. Potter ran to one cornefof the room,
and jocosely said to the young woman .aNow,
il you come near me, III shoot you!' Miss Lyon
not anticipating the least danger, followed him,
when Potter, pointing the gun at her head, pull
led the trigger-the contents of TIE rife were
discharged. The ball struck the yonng woman
upon tbs right side Of the nose, and passed
through her head, lodging in the back part of
the neck. The young idy is now in . very

TnE SECRET OF SuCcEss.-What is its In
this country, among people who are equally
protected and encouraged, 1t lies in the steady
pursuit of ofintelligcnce, industry, temperance and
frugality. So far as outward comfort and COM
petence constitute wealth, there is but frac.
ton OF society who may not possess it, if each
will but turn his hand and brain to the vocation
for which his instinct and capacity most fit to
him. Ifthe great fortunes which so dazzle the
misjudging poor be analyzed, they will be found
in every ninety.nine OF the hundred cases to
have sprung and matured from calm, patient and
simple toil-toil which had an endurance and
faith behind, and an object and hope before it.
So too, with success in whatever man seeks to
accomplish. A clown may stumble upon
splendid discovery in art or science; but a fix.
ed general law provides that higher achieve.
ment shall require profound and ceaseless labor.
The price of success, except in isolated cases,
is the devotions of ones life. He is fool who
trusts to any dream for possession or advance.

exercise of his own energy and Jud ment-

A Silper Mine tn Vrginia.-The Charlestown
(Va) Spirit Of Jefferson says that there is eve'
rv reason to believe that Silver Minc has been
discovered on the farm of Messrs. James and
Dennis McSherry, Of that county, situated on
the East bank Of the Shenandoah river, and at
the base of the Blue Ridge mountain.
The mine was discovered some months since,
and small specimen obtained and sent to the
Philadelphia Mint to be assayed. The Super.
intendent of the Mint has returned the same,
made into a ten cent piece, and pronounces the
ore as exceedingly rich. The ledge of rocks
in which the ore is mpregnated is of immense
size. Every three pounds of rock, it is estima'
ted, will yield one dollar in silver. Arrange

RALEIGH, MAY Z

An ArfM 1ornado-On sunday afternoon
our city was visited by terrific tornado, which,
came nearer the descriptions given of those in
the West Indies than any that we have ever
before seen. Its course was about a mile and
half long and not more than twenty yards
wide. 1t had been raining all day, but ceased
between three and four O'Clock, when dark
funnel shaped cloud was observed in the South
west. There was little or no wind at the time,
but the storm came down upon US suddenly
with mighty rush. Striking first the premi.
ses of Mr. Sylvester Smith, it Frustrated trees
and fences, dashng them, BY its rotary motion,
in all directions; thence it passed to B. f. Moor's
ESQ.,, tore down a stable OH the lot of the late
in the sashcs of the Standard Office, and with
increasing fury struck the beautiful residence
of Mrs. Eliza Taylor. There, where all was
but moment before paradise of beauty, it
lett nothing but desolation; her beautiful green
house, one of the finest in the place, is now
complete wreck, from the falling Of chimney
on the roof, and the flourishng shrubs in her
yard are leveled with the earth. 1t passed
next to the Peace building, on Fayetteville
street, tearing the tin off the root, and whirl.
ing it through the air with terrific force and velo
city.-pieces oft were picked up at the distance
of half mile. The North Carolina Book
Store was also much injured, the chimneys and
a part of the back portico being torn down.
1t passed out at the Northeast corner of the
town, back of the residence of Dallas Hay.
wood, Esq. There it seems to have spent its
fury-trces, two feet in diameter, being uproot.
ed or twisted off like twiggs. The kitchen Of
Dr. William Grey, with two negroes in it, was
taken up and carried several yards. The ne.
groes were not seriously hurt, though the house
was completely demolished. 1t did not extend
into the country, and we are happy to say no
lives were lost.-Stdndard.
