Maine Election.

Our special telegram places us in posses
sion of the vote of Maine as accurately as
could be expected SO soon after the cleo
ton. While the returns are not all we
| could wish. there is much to cheer us IN the
figures. In the election of last year, al
though there was large dimin"ti0" OF the
Radical majority, there was no increase o.
| the Democratic cote, but on the other hand
a decrease Of thirteen hundred as compared
with the vote of 1864. The gain was there
fore more apparent than real The increase
in the Democratic vote over last year Is up
ward Of eleven thousand and ten thousand
more than it was in 1864. The Radicals,
however. by calling out all their reserves,
were able to increase their vote seven thou
sand over that of 1864.
In connection with this election we de-
sire to call the attention of our readers to
the remarks of the New York Herald, as
embraced in an article from the National In
telfgence1' published on the first page OF
this mornings issue In addition to the
facts there stated, that Vermont and Maine
led off in 1862 with large Radical MAORI
ties, in the midst of the great revolution
which carried all the great States of the
North into the Democratic fold, in
1856, pending the canvass for President
between BUCHANAN, FILLMORE and FIRE.
MONT, Maine, which had always been a re-
liable Democratic State, gave a majority of
eighteen thousand for the Radical State
ticket, and it was predicted from this result
that the October elections in Pennsylvania
and Indiana would go the same way, and it
was confidently expected that FREMONT
would be elected. But Indiana and Penn
sylvania gave large Democratic majorities
in October, and JAMES BUCHANAN was tri-
umphantly elected President in November
The Democratic successes in New York,
Connecticut, California and Oregon, this
year and last, were different from that in
Maine, as they were accomplished on very
full votes, indeed, i'll some of the States,
upon the largest votes ever polled in them.
In casting the largest vote they have given
in the State for fourteen years, the Demo
Gratis of Maine have done nobly. We see
nothing in the result to discourage US.
but much to give US cheer. And We shall
look to the elections on the 18th of Octo-
Der in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
with hope as indicative of the grand re-
suit in November.

A. Call for an Agricultural Convention "A
syVilm ACTON

It will be remembered that the Executive
COMMITTEE of the New Hanover Agricultu
raj Society, at their last meeting, assumed
the responsibility of inviting an Agricultu
raj Convention to be held at Wilmington
| The time for holding said Convention has
been postponed from the Oath inst, to the
I'd of October next, to meet at 10 o'clock
A. NJ. It was thought that the latter date
would perhaps bring more pleasant weather
1t was stated in the proceedings referred tc
that another paper would follow, explaining
more at length the object of the call. AL
though styled an Agricultural Convention
it might perhaps be more properly named
a Convention of producers-representa

culture and manufacturers being respect

The great end to be attained is to advance
production, and the business of the Con
vention will be to devise means for this
purpose.
gent observers, that we are sinking lower
and lower III the scale of production every
year, and as consequence are growing
poorer and poorer. This tendency should
be arrested, or society must suffer in all
its interests. Take the mercantile interest
as an example, which is the business of ex-
changing products. This is always limited
by less than the amount produced. In
crease production and you increase the
business of the merchant. In this way
our mercantile friends may see that by al
vancing the interests of the farmer and
mechanic, they not very rem otely advance
their own interests Other illustrations
might be used as we'll, taken from other
social interests. In word, our civiliza-
ton must suffer unless our production is
made more remunerative, and capable of
furnishing the necessities and superfuities
demanded by our state of society.
We say to all, who can possibly do SO,
come to the Convention. The first great
move to be made is to get in earnest. Once
in earnest our people will soon discover

A GENUINE CARPET. DAGGER
Captain John I. Deweese, formerly of
Pike County, and then of indianapolis, is
carpet-bag Congressman for the State of
North Carolina. He is q fit representative
of the class. He had to get out of the

was Captain of Company +. He left the
company at Bridgeport, Alabama, in 1863,
having resigned on account of the Leprosy
as he alleged. While he was in the service,
he captured, or, as the boys of his compa
ny says, " cabbdged, " two or three horses
which he sent to Indiana, and had pastur.
ed on farm, belonging to his father in
law, two miles and half from Evansville
One Of these horses was race horse, dark
chestnut sorrel, which was captured at
Lebanon Junction, Kentucky the other
was fast pacing pony, clay bank, which
was captured out of a mans pasture,
back of Shepherdsville, Kentucky. 1t was
the duty of Captain Deweese to have turn

After leaving Pike county, the Captain
engaged in business here failed in a short
time. took the benefit of the bankrupt act,
and swindled his creditors as it is alleged.
He was next heard of in business at Wick

again took the bankrupt law, and again
swindled his creditors, as it was alleged
The war being over, and his leprosy cured,
