SATURDAY, AUG. l' ELECTION RETUUVS. 'JVcf so iuti 6uf it might have been worse.' The vote of Tyrrell county has 'been received, and it is now ascer tained that Mr. Stanly's majority over Gen. Wilson in this Congres sional district is ONLY Gf(? 123 more than Mr. Pettigrew ob tained over Dr. Hall in the last election. When we call to mind that tle election was held in the height of the panic that the most strenuous efforts have been nude to mislead the people, by ascri bing the present pecuniary dif ficulties to republican measures that the Whigs confidently claim ed a majority of at least 1000 in the district, and the desperate means resorted to by them to en sure SLcces3 the Republicans have cause if not of congratula tion at any rate not of desponden cy, at the result. The following is the vole of the different coun Edgecombe, 11C7 7S Pitt, 451 654 Beaufort, -317 80S Hyde, 126 494 Washington, Gl 405 Tyrrellf 54 343 21 70 2S42 2I7G Maj. for Stanly, GGG The above is not the official -statement, which has not been yet received but we believe it to be correct. We subjoin the vote given in 1835, in the contest between Dr. Hall and Mr. Pettigrew: Hall. Pettigrew.

In the Fayetteville district, Mr. Deberry (Whig) is re-elected. In the Wilmington district, Mr. McKay (Rep ) is re-elected, ma jority not stated. In the Caswell district, Mr. Shepherd (Whig) is re-elected by ISO majority. OCfThe waters in this vicinity, which presented such a threaten ing aspect towards the close of last week, have subsided and we are happy to add that, compara tively speaking, but little damage has been sustained. Petersburg Rail Road. We are gratified to observe that addi tional lacilities and conveniences are afforded to travellers, by the energetic and indefatigable Presi dent and Directors of the Peters burg Rail Road Company, as will be seen by an advertisement in this paper which we are well as sured will be met by a correspon ding increase of patronage. This Road will doubtless always be re garded in a very favorable light by our citizens, it being emphati cally the pioneer of the Rail Road system in the old North State. C?"Wfe find the following a mongst the recent decisions of the Supreme Court of this Stale: 3072 2529 Haywood ndm. v. McNair, from Edgecombe, affirming the judg ment below. Baird v.

It does not vary materially from that of the 20di May last, which we published the amount of bills of exchange has been since redu ced about one-half, say $350,000; the Notes in circulation diminish ed about $150,000; and the spe cie increased nearly $17,000. Outrage. We are informed that a party of Whigs, on Sunday morning List, hung Mr. Montgo mery, the Democratic Republican candidate elect from this district, in effigy, at Chapel Hill.

As the time is drawing near lor their removal to the West, they express gren dissatisfaction and declare lhe i!i not remove. They have ha Neveral dances and ball plays, which are considered as indica tions of hostility. The frontier is at this time but poorly provideu for such an emergency. ib. Remarkable Providence. The dwelling of the lit-v. William Brobston, near Elizabeth Town, ttladeu county, N. U, was struck hv lightning, on the evening of ihe 31st ult. It descended the chimney and entered a room, in which were the family of Mr. B., his wife, her two sisters, four chil dren and a servant, the latter of whom was thrown with such vio lence against a bedstead as to cut a deep gash on her head. Out of the nine persons in the house, none were seriously injured, and seven of them were within from three to six feet of the direction of the fluid. 1"6. (7We learn from a letter to the Hon. M. T. Hawkins, tha,t Arthur Macon, formerly of this county, was killed in Florida on the 24th ult. by a man named Walker. It appears that Walker and his two brothers had got into an affray with a young Mr. Haughton, a nephew of Mr. M.'s; that lie (Mr. Macon) went to the assistance of his nephew, when he received a stab which caused his death in a few hours. JVarrenton Rep. (C7The steamer James Adams, of Charleston, arrived at 12 o' clock yesterday morning. She is placed on the line of the Wil mington and Roanoke Company, in ttie place ol the steamer Bos lon, which is now undergoing some extra repairs. Wilmington Adv. Drcadful Disaster on the Ports mouth Rail Road and loss of Lives. We gather the following particulars of a dreadful disaster from the Norfolk Herald. It appears that the regular dai ly train iett Portsmouth on bt day morning, 11th inst. at 8 o ri- tiocu, wiin tiiuteen passenger i and otner cars, and nearly 200 p senders, the creater noriion pas- of . w i whom composed a nartvnfnl ea-ith-an- sure from the counties of South ampton, Isle of Wight and N semond, who had come dow the previous day, and been on u a sieamuoat excursion, to Old P oint Comfort, &.c. and were returning to their homes. The train having made the usual stop at Suffo Ik, had proceeded on to Smitl Bridtre. a hijih embankment over Goodwin's Landing, a mile and a half beyond. Here there is gradual rise in the road, and a at me termination ol the embank- ment the road makes a But before we proceed further curve. we vvuum state, tiiat there was a I tim- uer train then en its way down, with 15 cars heavily laden with staves, which most necessarily pass the passenger train at one A the turn-outs above Suffolk When the locomotive of the pas senger cars had reached the curve, and while the whole train was on the embankment (which at that place is at a greater elevation than at any other on the whole line, being35 feet high.) the lum ber train suddenly appeared in sight, sweeping down the curve! having improperly left the turn out above, without waiting the ar rival of the regular train! The engineer of the passenger train promptly stopped the locomotive; but he of the lumber Irain was ei ther unable (owing to its being on a descent) to stop his, or did not see the danger in time, lor his en gine drove furiously on against that of (he passenger train, for cing it back upon the first car, which was driven against tiie sec ond, the second against the third, and the two latter were crushed to pieces in the dreadful concussion.! a full and candid exchange of sen The greatest havoc, however, was tinient and thorough investigation in the second car, the first having! of caues and of ,he presenl bei n lifted from the rails and pro pelled over it, rakiuc it as it were, fore and aft, and crushing to death or horribly maiming the passen gers w ho remained within ii! We must leave it to the imagination if the reader to depict t tie petrify ing horrors of that awful moment, and of the scene which ensued! Many who weie young and active leaped from ihe" cars and rolled down the embankment, at the ha zard of life or limb. A gentleman who was casually seated next to a young lady in ttie second car, haw the coming death, and warned his lellow passengers f it he rotdd do no more then sprang down the embankment. As soon as he was upon his feet he looked up it was all over, and she who had sat beside him within the passing moment, lay a mangled corpse upon the seat which he had left! Yet only three met with iri'stani death! That the number "was not greater under such perilous cir cumstances, is indeed wonderful. And strange as it may seem, the first car and the passengers in it escaped uninjured! Those killed were Miss Eliza beth AlcClenny, daughter of Mr. John AlcClenny, of Nansemond; Miss Margaret Roberts, daughter of David Roberts, Eq. of Lie of Wight, .nd iMiss Jemima E. daughter o Mrs. .Martha E v. ol ,, 0 , the same county, who was herse I .

When within 100 yards of the watering place, the coach and en gine passed over Mr. James Woo dard and Mr. Richard Oliver, two citizens of the neighborhood, who were walking on the track, and so mangled them that the former di ed almost immediately and the lat ter is so badly injured that he can not possibly recover. This acci dent was wholly unavoidable the engineer could not see, thro' the darkness, (having a large pas senger coach before him,) that the unfortunate men were in his way; and they by the same cause, toge ther with the pattering of a heavy , . 1 'V aim extravagance in wiucn too leaping from the car, which he many have indulged the intent said Iw refused to do unless he! political excitement which has per could have saved her.

The day's disasters are stated as follows: 4 killed, 13 severely wounded, 25 or 30 slightly. From all that we can learn, there is not the shadow of cause to justi fy complaint against the agent and engineer of the passenger train. The whole blame rests on the agent of the lumber train, whose duty it was to have detain ed it at the turn-out above Suf folk, until the passenger cars, passing at their regular hour, had gone by. But he is in the hands of the law, and there let us leave him.
