out opposition. Henry Cansler, dem. to the Com
mons from Lincoln-a Democratic gain. Henderson
Sheriff., dem. reelected from Catawba, and James
H. White, dem. elected from CASTOR. Bragg's ma
iority in Lincoln and Castor is 947. The vote of

to the Commons by large majorities. Senate, DR..
Columbus Mills, dem. 522, G. w. Baxter fed. 273.

HEREFORD.
| Kenneth Rayncr fed. elected to the Senate, and
W. L. Daniel, to the House without opposition. A
friend, writing from jackson, says: II heard-I
know not how true the report may be-that you
gave Rayner, at of the precincts in Hertford,
ID Of tight race. You will have to move to Hert-
ford, for if Rayner ever again they will elect
you any how" We are under many obligations to
Hertford friends for the handsome support they
have heretofore given u.s. and pledge ourselves to do
member" Their demonstrations are gratifying, but
trust they will not elect US, as we are decidedly
opposed, in view of their fattering support, to
the British practice conended for by the Register
of eectng members for localities in which they do
not reside.
BURKE
! W. F. McKesson, fed. it is reported, has beaten
| ". W. Avery, dem. in this County, Democratic
loss. We record this result with deep regret. Mr..
| Avery has served the people of that County with
marked ability and fidelity, and they will take no
benefit by the change. Burke is federal County.
! HYDE.
We have rumor that DR.. Selby, dem. has beaten
Mr. Carter, fed. in this County. If so, Democratic
gain.
If we should receive any further returns before
going to press, we will give them in postscript.
