New GOoDs.-We direct the attention of pur-
chasers. and especially country merchants, in
Western North Carolina to the large stocks of
Dry Goods, Groceries, Hardware, &c, of
fered for sale by the Charlotte merchants
Wholesale buyers will find it to their advantage
to try this market. See advertising columns.
DARING ROBBERY.-Some rogue or rOgues en-
tered the residence of Mr. j. E. Britton, in this
town, on Friday night last, and robbed all the
rooms in the house except the one in which Mr.
Britton and his family were sleeping. Even win
dow curtains and table cloths were taken. In
fact, the house almost completely stripped
of its contents. Some ought to be shot for
such rascality.
TIE LATE NORTHERN ELECTIONs.-The New
York Sun "a paper attached to no political party
thus reviews the result of the late elections in
Northern States:
The election returns are still incomplete
The Radical majority in Penns ylvania. as we pre-
dicted, is materially whitfield down as the official
returns come in. and the probability now is that
it will not much, if any, exceed twelve thousand.
The Conservatives. therefore. have Uaiupd
thing near eight thousand upon the majority
agains: them in the last Presidential elrction-
that gain being more than equal To the majority
against Mcclellan in New York in 1864. In
Ohio the Conservative gain has been still more
decisive. Lincoln's majority SO $50, but at
the recent election. when the vote apparently
as heavy : in 1864, the Radicals have not OBJ
tanned more than 40, 600 majority. Indiana shows
u somewhat similar result. Lincoln's majority
in that State, i'm 1864, 90, lS9, and that
majority has been reduced below $4,000. The
Conservatives also gain member of Congress in
Indiana, we'll as one in Ohio. We have not
yet received sufficient returns from Iowa to form
estimate of the result but there is no doubt,
judging from advices, that the Radicals have
also lost in that State. The majority for Lincoln
in 1864, in Iowa. was 40, 533, and the Radical
majority now is not likely to reach 35.OO0. In
all the States, therefore. which held elections this
month, the Conservatives have made substantial
gains upon the vote at the last Presidential cleo
ton.
1t is gratifying to learn that the Conservatives
have gained something-small favors thankfully
received-but these gains do not materially affect
the Radical majority in Congress. for while the
Conservatives have gained two three members
in Western States they have lost about that num-
Der in Pennsylvania, SO reported.
r. The Raleigh Standard is mistaken in say
ing that the Texas Legislature has rejected the
Howard amendment The matter which the
Texas Legislature had under consideration was
