From WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE Ad-
ministration candidates for Congress IN
North Carolina have generally been de-
feated, and Hon. Bedford Brown, who is
reported chosen in the Fifth District by g
close vote, is probably the only one, as far
as heard from, who can take the test oath.
The others all "aided" the rebellion
openly, and would undoubtedly plead
guilty if brought to the bar of the House.
Is is mentioned as somewhat singular
fact, that no dispatches have been re-
ceived from Gov. Perry with reference to
the recent important action of the South
Carolina Legislature. The omission at
tracts more attention, because in all minor
matters that have occurred he has kept
the President fully advised.
The full proceedings of the Legislature
are awaited with interest, there being
doubts in the minds of some as to the
thoroughness of the amendment Act, as
passed. :.
1t will probably, however, be found @in
order," excepting, perhaps, She Leglsla-
ture may have seen fit to attach thereto
the public declaration of the Secre-
tary of State, and the (reported) opinion
of the President and Attorney-General, to
the effect that "the powers of Congress-
would be restrained" by the passage of
the amendment. This, 1 feel pretty sure,
was added to the Act.
So far as have been able to ascertain,
the proposition to adjourn Congress to
Philadelphia will meet with very little
favor. Indeed, it is regarded more as a
threat to the hotel and boarding-holse
keepers to induce them to "come down"
than anything else. In e-sher case 1t will
probably be the "attempt without the
deed" for Congress will not adjourn, nor
will the landlords and the buxom widows
abate one postal stamp in their sxactions.
The chief topic of conversation among
politicians continues to be the sending of
General Logan to the Juarez Government

elcctioneering speeches denounced the
Macmillan occupation in unmeasured
terms, and has said that "Max, must get
out of there. General Grant, who is q

supported by very formidable "ring"

IMMIGRATION TO: THE SoUrH.-The New
York Herald Of the 18th says: We see
that among the immigrants arriving here
considerable number are bound directly
forahe Southern States. There are par
ties whose destinations were fixed before
they left Europe, and who do not include
the immigrants who came here without
any settled plans, and who were subse-
quently influenced to proceed in the same
direction. The-fact is a significant one,
and is full of promise for the South. 1t is
