A Gloriocs Yictort.—The election that has
jast occurred in this State is in all its aspects the
most remarkable political incident of the age. Mr
Uolden, who had andoabtedly exercised great infln>
euce in the State, and who {>rofanely claimed to
have the power “to kill and make alive,”—a sort of
North Carolina Warwick, the “setter up and poller
down of kings,"—having traded for two years on
Uoy. Vance’s political capital, concladed that he
was strong eooagh to kill Vance and make alive
Holden. At a period of deep depression in our na
tional condition, wheii^verse after reverse had sha
ken the faith and made cowards of many and traitors
of some, Uolden availed himself of the universal de
sire for peace to make the attempt at self-elevation
on which Lis heart had long been set. Vance stand
ing firm as a rock, Holden virtually abandoned the
cause of his country, and opcaiy arrayed himself
against its National and State Administrations. But
he miscalculated his own influence, and utterly mis
understood the feeling of the people of North Caro
lina. Their desire for peace was onmingled with
any the slightest thought of “the constitution as it
• is and the Union as it was." Their determination
was and is to have independence and an eternal sep
aration from the yankees. They had no idea of en
couraging the enemy to invade the interior of the
State in search of a Union sentiment, and utterly
condemned the publication in the Standard of the
various Editorial and other articles which denounced
our own authorities rather than those of the yan
kees, and the withholding of the accounts of our tri
umphs. Behold the result! The imaginary Sam
son, who had laid his head in the lap of the Delilah,
A.mbition, finds himself shorn of all his strength
abandoned by even his friends, and so prostrated
that he can never hope to attain that "Position"
which ha£ been the cherished aim of his later years
The moral should be laid to heart by ambitious men,
To a calm observer, it would seem that Mr. Holden
had enough to satisfy any reasonable man’s desires.
A fe^ years ago he bad become unquestionably the
most influential man in the State. His central po
sition, and the skill with which he managed bis Press,
combined with an unwearied assiduity iu intrigue,
enabled him to mould public opinion so far as to re
duce the old Whig party to a minority and to elevate
the Democratic.to a majority. Then stepped for
ward self, determined to clutch the highest honors
in the gift of the party he had built up, and then
crossed his path the many others whose eyes covet
ed the same prizes, or whom he had offended. They
defeated him. He turned- upon his party and pur
sued its leaders wllh a venom even surpassing that
which he had so long exhibited against the Whigs.
The latter were of course delighted- they encour
aged the mutual assaults of their old opponents, ta
king the side, naturally enongh, of the renegade.
This led to so much of association and assimilation,
that Mr. Holden appears to have fancied that the
old Whigs whom he had so deeply injured and so
bitterly abused would do more to feed his ambition
than his late party. It was an unreasonable miscal
culation, not justified by the lights of either sacred
or profane history, or a proper understanding of hu
man nature.
The results of all these blunders and the rewards
of all this insatiable ambition, may be seen in the
votes of the Army and the people. Nothing like it
was ever known. The public have for months been
pUed with bold assurances that everybody was going
for Holden, and he would certainly be electe«1. In
dividuals were mentioned by name as his support
ers, but they almost invariably repelled the imputa
tion. Counties were then claimed by the score, and
these have all spoken their emphatic contradiction,
not excepting Wake. Even down to the morning of
the election, Holden assured his readers that if the
people would but vote they would reverse the army
majority for Vance and elect him (Holden.) Did
he really believe this? If so, let him no longer boast
of his facilities for ascertaining public sentiment.
If he did not believe it—we need say no more. We
need only point to the results.
W"hat will be Mr. Holden’s next position? Time
will tell. We iu(j|ine to the opinion that he will de
ny that he wae a candidate at all; and shouldn’t
wonder if some of his friends contend tha* there is
no such person as Holden. The yankees are the
people disappointed and mortified at the result.
They have flattered themselves that there was a
Union party at the South, have conside'ed Mr.
Holden as its leader, and looked to this election for
fully establishing its predominance in N orth Caro
lina, to be followed by other similar exhibitions
other States. They will now see that, accordia
Lincoln’s own admission, “the war is not
error but a crime.” Such a victory over Hopen is
worth several victories in the field. To the cha
racter of North Carolina it is ot inestimable value.
Let us all thank Providence and take new heart for
the glorious work before us.
The Elkction.—We have already the returns from
35 out of 85 counties, in which Gov. Vance's majori
ty is 20,994. It will be between fortv j>nd fifty thou
sand, against 33,975 two years ago. Holden’s entire
vote will probably be between ten and fifteen thou-
s&nd, out of an aggregate vot^ materially larger than
in I^6‘2. Holden has majorities in two counties on*
ly—Johnston and Randolph—and a few Holdenites,
perhaps 10 or 15, are elected to the Legislature.
Fob th» Benefit of the Wounded.—Mr. Daw
son, of Kentucky, who has been Lecturing exten
sively for the benefit of the wounded Confederate
soldiers from Kentucky, will deliver an Address this
evening, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Hospital
Association. We have only room to say that the
object is one that will commend itse^ to all, since
the Kentucky soldiers are cut ofiT from all relief from
home; and that we have seen in our ex'’hange papers
the most complimentary notices of the Address itself
as a literary treat. Let him have a fall audi^ncc.
Another Rkmunciation.—Wiley Beaver of Row
an has come out from the II. O. A. Association, in
to which he was seduced by Dr. Fink of Concord.
He had never acted with it after initiation.

Vance’s vote to be largely increased in these counties
by the addition of army vote included in them in the
vote of 1862.
Uapt John N. Prior, of this place, chief Enrolling
officer at Salisbury, was severely injured on the 3d
inst by a violent blow on the head with a stick by a
conscript named Cain, who had been arrested and
sent to the army. He struck before Capt. Prior was
aware of his intention, and then jumped on the cars
and was o.% but it is said will certainly b« arrested.
B. I’aylor, Co. C. Camp Guard at Salisbury, was
killed by the accidental discharge of a gun in the
handH of a comrade. He was from Johnston county,
a good soldier and respectable man.

f^rotn PtUrshurf.—'RioBatoKD, Aug. 8.—The Evening
Whig has the following ^edal dlspatdi:—
Petersbdro, August t.—having been as(S»rtain«d
that the enemy were mining eztennvely in front of ^len.
Grade’s Brigade on nor centre, it was determined to
^p their operations by countermining. Our culvert
naving been completed Uie mine was exploded between
0 and 7 o’clock last night, blowing up the enemy's skir
mish line and demnliwhing hia mines. ’The affidr was a
great Buccees, completely frustrating the objects of the
enemy at that point and throwingme troope along his
lines into great confiiiion. No infantry attack was in
tended or made. Artillery firing alon^ tlie whole lines
was very rajnd for an hour, A number of the en®iny
working on theii* mines and occupying ticket stations
are believed to have been killed. A ww sheila were
thrown into the city after the exploaioa. Matters have
re«umed their usuiu quiet this morning.
From Qeorgia.—Atlanta, Aug, 6.—Brisk skirmishing
continued throughout yesterday. Last night there was
a lively artillery duel on our left
The enemy continue to concentrate forces on our left.
About 76 prisoners, including a Captain and Lieuten
ant, were brought in yesterday.
All quiet to-day except some sharpshooting.
Ricumomd, Aug. 7.—The following dispatch was re
ceived this morning:—
Atlanta, Aug. 7,—Hon. Jas. A Seddon: The enemy
made two assaults on Finley’s and I^wirf Brigades of
Bates’ Division, Lee’s Corps, both of which were hand'
somely repulsed with loss to them. ^
J, B. Hood, CteneraL
VavJcet If not.—We had a pleasant interview last even
ing with a gentleman just arrived from the United States,
He gives a most gratifying aoconnt of the chan^ in pub
lic sentiment with regard to the prosecution of the war.
In Pennsylvania the reaction in favor of peace is very
great; and he is confident, without some unforeseen oc
currence arises, thatihe peace candidate will be trium
phantly elected next falL*
We are satisfled f^wn data exhibited to ns, bat which
it would not be prudent to publish, that the call of lin-
coln for troops will furnish two white men from Mary
land to the Confederate armies for one to the Federah
SicA Seittinel.
The Losses of the Enemy.—It was ascertamed
yesterday, from a letter written b^ one of Burnside’s
commana, and which accidentally fell into our han^,
that the enemy’s loss in the fights of Satnr^y will
aggregate between 6,500 and 7,000. A.S this letter
was intended only for the private eye of a friend at
the North, it is no doubt correct,—Pet. Eocpresa.
D. and 0. Railroad.—A private letter to the
editors of the Lynchburg Republican, says that the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has been effectnally
destroyed. For a distance of fifteen miles the ties
have been burnt and the iron cut in two so as to
render it totally unfit for any future use.
Fat Maryland Cattle.—Not a few of the well fed,
fat cattle of Maryland, captured by General Early’s
forces, have reached Petersburg, and onr troops are
now enjoying the loxury of real good beef.
Petirihurg Eaepress.
We had yesterday the pleasure of seeii^ in our
office Major W. T, Ennett, of the 3d raiment N.
C. T., one of the officers KDt on by the 'Xiaiheeft
be placed under the fire of onr forts in Chariestcm,
in retaliation for our having quartered a certain
number of their officers in the city. Our officers
and the Yankee officers were exchanged for each
other. Among our exchanged officers are five gen
erals. CoL Btfber, Lieutenant 0rionel8 Parsley
and Davidson, and Major Ennett were the Noru
Carolina officers selected to be expoeed. They
were sent from Fort Delaware to Hilton Head and
were kept there on board the prison ship Dragoa,
and badly treated.— Wilmington Journal.
FOR THI OMXKVBB.
Messrs. Editors: 1 cannot resist the t^^tation of
telling you with what enthusiasm Gov. Vtuice was
received in Lumberton on the 30th of July by near
2000 people. I do think that every one of that vast
assembly cheered him either by a quiet smile of ap
proval, a joyous ha! ha! or a spontaneous shont and
clawing of hands. It was certainly a {^a day for
us an. 'The various exclamations of “^at a treatl
was it not aplendid! I would not have missed it for
the world,” &c. Surely had Holden .been present he
would never again seua an Extra Standard to good
old Robesba. Even non-residents of the State were
cheering Gov. Vance. The enthusiasm manifested
was certainly sufficient to satisfy the most exacting.
It was much ado to control my feelings. 1 thotight
several times I should have to give them vent ^ a
very unlady-like scream, but as luck would have it
I was able to keep within the prescribed limits.
But then let me tell yon how the Governor did do
us after his announcement: he arose and spoke for a
short while (long enough for some of us) and then
very deliberately told us he was a married man with
four children, and should we fall in love with him
we would have it to settle with Mrs. Vance, Pity
us poor mortals who had been building such pleas
ant air castles and had them so ruthlessly blown to
the four winds by such cruel words spoken with
such perfect nonchalance. Pity us, do,—I wish I
could tell you all he said; you would appreciate it
with your great patriotism, but I hope seme one else
will write you a lengthy account of our giftei Gov
ernor’s speech, I am afraid I will have to subscribe
myself as one who has something to settle with Mrs,
Vance,

On Hay Mount, yesterday. Miss MARION JONRS
SANDFORD, only child of the late Mr, Thomas Sand-
ford and Mrs. Agnea Sandford, in the 21st yeari^f her
age. One of the loveliest and most beloved of our com
munity is thus snatched away from earth and all its at
tractions—not prematurely, indeed, for we may well be
lieve that she had that “reasonable, religious and holy
hope” which consoles the dying moments of those who
early unite themselves to the Church of Christ and adorn
their profession by a blameless life.
The Funeral will take place this afternoon, at o’clock
from St. John’s Church,
At his residence in this County, on the 13th June
after a long and painful illness, Mr, ROBERT McKIN-
NON, in the 72d year of his age. He was for many
years a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church.
At the residence of Richard H Cain, in Bladen coun
ty, on Sunday evening the 81st July, Mr^ P^’UDENCE
CAIN, in the 82d year of her age, “Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord.”
On the 18th April, 1864, in the 36th year of her ase
Mrs. CATHARINE A PATTERSON, wife of Willitnl
Patterson, of Robeson county. Another of earth’s an
gels has donned her snowy robes, strung her golden
harp and is now rejoicing in the sunlight and smiles of
our dear Saviour, Mrs. Patterson was a devoted and
affectionate wife, a kind and obedient daughter; as a
fnend she was obli^ng and generous; her unassuming
social disposition joinM with a frank and generous heart
made her a welcome visitor at every hous^, she was a
sincere follower of the meek and lowly Jesus, and a con
sistent member of the Presbyterian Church of Smyrna;
such was her meekness and fortitude during her illness
which was short but painful, that those who witnessed
her Christian resignation and the happy frame of mind
with which she met h»>r fate—which she knew was com
ing—that they were constrained to say if they could
meet death thus they would not fear to die. Willing
and anxious to meet her Saviour whom she so dearly
loved, earnestly entreating her husband to so live that
when called to leave this world he might die in peace
and meet her in heaven. She left an affectionate hus
band and many relatives and friends to mourn her death,
but I trust our loss is her eternal gai®. May the mantle
of her piety follow her surviving husband and friends.
Blest are the sufferer> who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus’ sake:
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord;
Glory and joy are their reward
Her Friend Anna.
