Burke County.
Gen. c. NJ Avery, Disunionist, elected by SO ma
jority. A friend who sends us the result reminds
that Mr. Avery claimed in the Senate that three
fourths of his constituents were for disunon.-
Burke has gore with him by most meagre MAORI
to his bed by sickness for the greater portion of the
campaign; Caldwell has voted against him by 500
majority, and we have no doubt Mcdowell has also
voted for the Union. Mr.. Avery has, therefore,
been repudiated by his own constituents.
