The ELECTION in this State is now over and we do
not feel like specializing upon its probable result. When
that result has been asceraned definitely we may make
some remarks which may or may not be as generally
approved as we might wish them to be, but which we
will then make because of belief our part that it
is right they should be made.
At present, while all eyes are turned to the South,
and all open to catch the slightest whsperngs of
news from that quarter few will read abstract discus
sions OF any kind The safety of Port Royal Harbor
is matter of immediate interest at present than
the safety of any electoral congressional ticket So
friends in the neghboring counties seem to think
for the returns come in very slowly indeed.
The ticket for electors headed by Guon and Rodman
seems to have gone ahead in the camps and generally
with the people in this section. We do not know what
it has done in ether sections 1t was brought out late
and little effort made for it, that we know Of bu. with
al it has doubt got good VOTE and may probably be
chosen
As Tor congressman, feel desire to make any re-
marks, except in reference to three districts We do
trust that either Venabe or Arlington may be elected
in the fifth district Ashe or Waddel in the sixth, and
Mclean in the seventh. We do not say this because
of party preference but because we cannot at all
approve Of the positions course of Messrs Turner
Christian or Dick. We will soon hear more we sun-
pose.

Col Sinclair will be favorably recolltced as the

soldier of the Conftderacy as well as of the cross. 1t
Col Creighton is from Goldsboro, officer Of the Ri

Wilson, also officer of experience. All are good
men, whose highest ambition will be to acqut them
selves well and do their whole duty to tie cause in
which they are embarked.
We presume the Raleigh papers will inform Of the
names and organization of the companies composing
the regiment.

'Elic Ninth OHIO Refuses TO leave
Cincinnati Until. Paid.

The Ninth Ohio Regiment Col. McCook
was organized in Cincinnati, and consists
Of Germans. Friday morning the Regi-
mcnt arrived at Cincinnati from the Ka-
nawha, bound for Louisville, Kentucky.
The men desired to stop at Cincinnati in
order that they might see their families,
but the orders were that they must pro.
ceed at once to Louisville.
The men, says the Enquirer, had never
been paid cent, and they demonstrated
with their officers against proceeding an
other foot until they were paid, and
insisted upon landing. The Paymaster
Captain johnson, being here, represented
that he had orders to pay them off on their
arrival in Louisville. The situation of
affairs was heard by Colonel McCook, the
men were determined, he was compelled
to acquiesce, and landing was made,
and the men formed in line to
await an answer from Washington. On
the landing they stood for the space of
about three hours, when, we understand
an order came, granting a furlough of
twenty-four hours. during which time it
was promised the men should lie paid.
This being settled the ntn formed in
column and marched through various
streets Of the city until they reac he'd
Hamilton Road, where they had an en-
thusiastic reception by their German
friends, amid music and firing of cannon.
After exchanging greetings and partaking
of Refreshments, they marched to the Elm
street Barracks where quarters had been
prepared for them for the night.--Piom
