On Tuesday last, elections for State officers and jii-wbi-rs of Congress were held in Pennsylvania, iiiiio, Indiana and Nebraska. The Republicans hiivi- carried all four States. The Democrats have gained or 0 Congressmen, but the general result is JreMedly Republican. K.ich one will form his own conclusion about the ff,.ct these State elections will hive on the Presi dential election. We commenced the advocacy of Seymour's election because we believed his princi ple were right, and we intend to vote for him, no matter what happens; but we tell the people that whether Seymour or Grant is elected there will be iiu war or interruption to business. Thoe who arc apprehending some great calamity to befall the coun try in the election of one or the other candidates, will in. I their fears groundless after the 3d day of Vnvr:.:lcr It is some consolation to know that there will so! ho another election for a long while after rti? -VreMi'.ential flection is over. Our colored popu i:mti. and :itt others, will theu understand for accr-Miii.-y that only those who work hard and are Bober, honest and economical, wiH enjoy plenty of food, cluihing and prosperity and happiness they will tin IcrMaiid t hat voting docs not feed thef!i or their wives aii l childreu.

Wc lon't think that would do any good now, for Seymour can pet hs many votes as any man who would consent to take his place at this late day. Besides, it is not .!y !:il policy but wrong to desert a friend under cTcuinstances that way be considered adverse. Let u.s work out on the iu? Jfc have commenced. if we are !e:Uen, submit in good faith, but try tad do lietter next time. The Governor's Proclamation. Wc j.iiMh a Proclamation issued by Got. Iloldcn in regard to preserving jtcaee in the State. We en dorv verr effort to maintain peace and good order, and to tluit extent we are willing to co-operate with l!ov. Holdcn or any one else, but wc think the. Gov ernor has been misled in regard to .the importation of urm into this .State. We know that Government detectives have been traveling on the Railroad lines, and they saw several gun boxes wh it'll they supposed contained r;i, (and no doubt so reported,) but on investigation it was ascertained that such boxes con tained only axes with handles. These axes were m!4 ji.t Government prepcrty and bought by Southern merchants, and put .up Lu gu boxes asaconvenience for shipping. These facts have already been estab lished in this section, au ought to convince any one that there is no danger of force being .used by the friend of Seymour and Ulair to effect any purpose. What we all want no" is peace and quiet, and pro tection by civil law to persons and property. Jf any one is aggrieved or injured, let him appeal to the t-ourts. anil not to military power or individual vio liMicc The Governor ought to understand that many stories he hears of outragesarealtogother one-sided. H'fiTe he acts, fairness and justice demand that he pive doth r-idi s a hearing. Asaii evidence of the peaceable intentions of the Jmuoratic-conscrvative party in this section, we re fer tu the following resolutions passed at a meeting tluit party in ibis city on Tuesday evening last: "Krsolved, That the Conservative citizens of the C'Minty of Mecklenburg have never t-ntortaiued any other purpose, than submission to the laws of theland, fcoH ever nl.iei-li.m-ililp mnnv nf tlicm 111.1v he. l!cjulvcd.

Mr Adams made a rpeeeh in Columbia on the 12th, along with Gen. Wade Hamp ton and others. , It is said to have been the largest meeting ever held in the State. Mr Adams' speech is reported by telegraph, and we make an extract from it because it is somewhat different from political speeches g enerally, but never theless contains good counsel : "Most of you doubtless regard the success of the Democratic party as essential to your release from your present situation, but it is my duty to remind you that men in your position have no right to be bigoted partizans You must of course feel a deep interest in the success of those who esoouse vonr cause, and you may properly exert all legitimate influence to promote their success, but you ought not to shut the door to aid from any source. I have already deprecated unreasonable and undistinguish ing hostility to the Republican party. 1 would now warn you against an absolute and exclusive devotion to any party. If the Democracy succeed in electing their candidates, you will be subjected to tempta tions as trying as the demand upon your sufferance may prove in case Gen Grant is chosen. Hasty, ill considered, passionate, or violent action in the event of Democratic success would be almost sure in the end to turn to your discomfiture and render your last estate worse ttian the hrst, and yet it will require a good deal of self command to control the reaction from this depression. On the other hand, in case of Gen. Grant's election, you will be called on to exer cise awhile loneer votir natience and forbearance. I am sure it will be rewarded in the cud. I do not believe that Gen. Grant is your enemy. I feel sure that he feels kindly towards you, and will do justice and show mercy , in his course to you. A large mass of It publicans will help you if you will do your best to help yourselves, A great majority of all the North only wait to be sure it is safe to take you cordially by the hand once more. Bide, then, your time. In either event "possess your souls in patience." Call to your aid that grandest of all hu man qualities, self control, and all will yet be well." State Debt of North Carolina.

President Johnson has issued a proclamation set ting apart Thursday, the 20th day of November, as a day for thanksgiving and prayer. The proclama tion says: " , In the year which is now drawing to its end, the art, the skill and the labor of the people oi the United States have been employed with greater diligence and vigor, and on broader fields, than ever before, and the fruits of the earth have been gathered into the granary and the storehouse iu marvelous abundance. Our highways have been lengthened .aud new and prolific regions have been occupied. We are permitted to hope that long protracted political and sectional distentions are at no dis tant day to give place to returning fraternal affec tion throughout the Republic. Many foreign States have entered into liberal agreements with us, while nations which are far off, and which heretofore have been uusocial and exclusive, have become our friend. The annual period of rest which we have reached in health and tranquility, and which is crowned with so many blessings, is, by universal consent, a con venient and suitable one for cultivating personal piety and practicing public devotion I, therefore, recommend that Thursday, the 20th day of November, be set apart and observed by all the people of the United States as a day for pub- lie praise, thanksgiving and prayer to the Almighty Creator and Divine Ruler of the universe, by wnosc cverwatchful, merciful and gracious providence alone, States, no less than families and individual men, live and move and have their being. Iu witness whereof 1 have hereunto set my hand and caued theeeal of the United Statestobe affixed. ANDREW JOHNSON. The son of P. II.

Alexander, Sec'y. - , All NoNSENSE.Charlea Dkfcena says: "I have often heard a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dis honesty will Btare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there i? anything to be gr.t." The Party of the Future. : Now that "the party of the war" proclaim their ability easily to carry the Presidential elec tion, and put General Grant in the Executive chair, nothing can be more interesting than a view of the political horoscope, and some judi cious predictions as to the party of the future.' Of course, we do not admit that the election of General Grant is a foregone conclusion, because, so far, the Democracy ha?e steadily gained up- on tne ru.-ncais in tne great race, i nese gams, though considerable, are not, indeed, sufficient to assure success in November, but they are suffi cient to cast some doubt upon the result, bull, it would be folly to deny that General Grant's election is probable, unless the Democracy pre vent it by putting forth greater efforts than they have yet employed. The result of the elections last Tuesday siiurjlv shows that the Northern - v r . - masses regard this Presidential contest as a con tinuation ot the war between the two sections, and of course, they have supported their own section with the blind enthusiasm of enraged ignorance. When the passions of the hour shall have subsided and the political states of all the States shall have been settled, political issues will assume quite a different aspect. The won derful vitality of the National Democracy which has survived a four years' war, to which it made opposition at every stage, may enable it to main tain its organization and again enter the field for another conflict against the corrupt and "unprin cipled but powerful organization against which it is now contending. But whether known as the National Democracy or not, there will be Organized Opposition against hydra-headed Rad icalism, and the issues which it will present will contain no element of sectionalism, unless the unanimous support which the then "reconstruct ed" South will give it may be so considered. And what will the main issue be? Already it has been foreshadowed iu the Pendletonian poli cy for getting rid of the National Debt. The issues of which this is the forerunner, is invol ved in the present campaign, but it has been held in abeyance, or rather over-ridden by the questions pertaining to "reconstruction," upon which the Radicals hope to win by reason of sec tional sympathies. A contest thus conducted of course can decide nothing in relation to the great question of national finances and taxes, and we may as well regard the trial of the question upon that issue as postponed until after the sectional , issues are determined. Richmond Enquirer, Terrible Assault and . Melancholy Consequences. We learn that on Thursday last. Air Shnnsnn Tlavis rf TTninn ennntv whit u- i." m L i rft,lrn,n(r his hntnA from MnnrnA whfr Ha ' had been in attendance on court, was met and assaulted by a negro and beaten over the head ia a most terrible manner. His skull was frac- turcd, one eye knocked out, his jaw broken, and his face horribly lacerated. The instrument used was a heavy cane, with a long and heavy square jrou ferrule. Strange to say, at our last accounts . .Mi v .- - he Was still alive. But the consequence of this dreadful affair did not end with the treatment Mr Davis re ceived. He was a married man, and the father of ten children. His wife had been quite sick, but at the tune of the assault was convalescing. When told of it, the hock was so great to her that she relapsed and died in two hours after wards. The negro we learn, was arrested and lodged in Uuioxi jail. We know nothing of the causes for the assault. Altogether this is a most dis- tr.cssiug affair. Wadtsljitro Argus. We wijl.l Welcome Them.

It srtves us great pleasure to inform our readers that there is a gooa prospect or Dwnaing wunin a iew years the Georgia and South Carolina Air-line railroad. This will shorten the distance between Charlotte, N. C, and .tlanta, two hundred and fourteen miles. Mr Ruford, the enterprising and ener getic President of the Richmond and Danville railroad, is the president of this road also. He has gone to work manfully and obtained .the necessary charters and the most liberal franchi ses from the Legislatures of Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Georgia has loaned the company twelve thousand dollars for every mile the road passes through that State, and the Legislatures of all three of the States have granted the privilege to the company of holding lands and other property ad ittjinitum Danville Times. Exportation of American Hav. Secre tary McCulloch has received the copy of an order issued by the Queen's Privy Councillors in Eng land, forbidding the landing of any hay trans ported in vessels from the United States to the Uuitcd Kingdom. The order was to take effect September 25th, and was intended to prevent the introduction into England of the cattle dis ease prevailing in the Uuited States. Hay sent from the United States to England intended only for horses, would be permitted to be landed upon an order from the Privy Council. It ia believed this order was merely retaliatory on account of our government having prohibited importation of rattle from England some time ago, while the cattle disease was prevailing there.

W are great friends of the industrial inters esta. Labor and capital should never conflict; each are materially dependent upon the other. They are aa distinct as the billow, but in inter est, one as the sea. We take pleasure in- intro ducing a few remarks upon the dignity ef labor, taken from the "Seminary Magazine," published in Richmond. ' The article was written by the Hey. J B J eter, and contains many facts that are worth - remem bering by those who look down on labor; for there are such persons, who, as a general thing, are very narrow-minded and nine cases in ten are pensioners on tne Dounty oi some poor relative for a support. Let them read, ponder and re flect, says Dr Jeter, that "a life of idleness is not only worthless, but contemptible. Neither wealth nor rank can efface this blot from human character. An idler is an excrescence on the body politic, increasing its weight, but dimin ishing its strength and beauty. An industrious shoe-boy is more meritorious than an indolent prince. Why should not honest and useful la bor, of every kind, be deemed respectable? The Creator has ordained that man shall labor. When he came from his plastic hand, in a state of per fection and loveliness, he was placed amidst the bloom and fruits of paradise, to dress and to keep it. When driven, on account of transgressions, from the bowers of Eden, he was doomed, as much in mercy as in judgment.' in the sweat of his face to eat bread. The Author of our being has endowed us with faculties for laboring our bodies are formed for exertion and the endurance of fatigue, and our hands are admirably con structed as instruments1 of art. We are sur rounded with means of useful toil. In obedience to well directed effort the earth will yield her bountiful increase to reward the husbandman. And all the riches of the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms may, by -skillful industry, be made tributary to the happiness and dignity of man. God has imposed on man the necessity Of labor. If he rebel against this ordinance, want, the most inexorable of masters,, will teach him subordination, aud summon hunger, nakedness, and pain, to enforce his instruction., To esteem labor lightly, then, is to reproach the ordinance of God. Has God made that essential to man which is derogatory to man? It cannot be. lie who ordained that man should labor, saw that labor was worthy of him." Voting for Pbesidest in the Unrecon structed States. President Johnson's order, as Commander-iu-Chief, relative to the rights of all the States under the Constitution to vote for Presidential electors without hindrance by the military authorities in any of the unreconstructed States was issued from the Adjutant General's office in Washington last week. It is announced as "by command of General Grant," and signed E. D. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant. General. ; The Washington Star says that in Republican quarters it seems to be apprehended that in the States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas the Conservatives will now make arrangements to choose Presidential electors, and that there will be a demand that their votes be counted. ; Cured of Snake Bite. One day last week a little son of Mr Benj, Ford, living near Holly Springs, Miss., was bitten on the instep by a mocasin snake. ' The foot immediately commen ced swelling. Within a short time the leg had turned black, was swollen to the knee and was excruciatingly painful. All the usual remedies were applied, but without giving relief. Finally a gentleman residing in the neighborhood who owned a fine Mad Stone was sent for. Upon his arrival he found the sufferer in great agony aud applied the stone to the instep. In a short time the poison of the reptile' had been absorbed by the stone, and iu three hours the little tbllow was well. m mi A Remarkable Freak of Nature. A remarkable petrifaction has been discovered at .Sheridan, at the end of the Kansas Pacific rail road.
