UNFoKruNArE.-Ou friends of the Wilmington
Herald seem disposed to take rumors for facts-or,
in other Words to 60 off halfcocked They rejoice
yea, they glorify the success of A. j. Jones over
Mcdowell, and its turns out that Mcdowell has
beaten Jones. They also announce that Faison,
disorganizer, has beaten McKoy, Democratic nom-
nee in Sampson, and they chuckle accordingly
But the fact is McKoy has beaten Faison $50 votes
Again, they assert that McRae beats Ellis 81 votes
at the Raleigh box, whereas he beats him only 10.
Now, we don't blame the Herald men for being en-
thusiastic; but their enthusiasm ought not to over
come their discretion neither ought they to deceive
their friends

The Mountain District.

We have returns from but few Of the counties of
the eighth Congressional district, where election
for Congressman, to I'll the vacancy occasioned by
Mr.. Clingmans promotion to the Senate, as held
on Thursday last. The candidates were W. W.
Avery, Democ rat, ard T. B. Vance, K. N. We re-
greet to say that we fear Avery is beaten but we
do not yet give it up. Vance has made large gains
in the counties heard FROM but there still grounds
for hope to which we shall cling until further ad
vices As yet we have nothing reliable from the
transmontane counties.
