The Democrats of

Fatal Accident. David Upright, of
this county, (says' the Salisbury Watch
man) while running his wagon out of his
barn, caught the wheel on the door which
fell, crushing him to the ground and so in
juring him that ho only survived forty-six
hours. He breathed his last on Saturday
morning tho 13th of July. Aged 63 years.
Singular Circumstance. A farmer
in Linco'n county, Tenn., a few days ago,
while plowing, his horse and plow sunk and
disappeared in the earth, leaving a hole to
which no bottom has yet been found, and in
which the farmer himself came near falling.
His neighbors were called to the place, who,
by means of ropes let hiin down in search
of the horse and plow, to the depth of thir
ty or forty feet, but the further he went the
larger the hole appeared, and he called to his
friends to pull him up. winch they did.

1WRTH CAROLINA ELECTION.
GL0RIOOSJ1CTORY
BRAGG KLECTED!
8 TO 10,000
Democratic Majority!
Thanks to the indomitable Democracy
of North Carolina, we have the pleasure of
proclaiming to-day one of the most glori
o'ts Democratic victories ever achieved in
the State. It is complete, decided, and
overwhelming. Know-Nothingism is not
only beaten, but beaten so badly as to leave
no hope for it in the Old North State. Let
the friends of the Constitution, of equal
rights, aud of civil and religious liberty re
joice. You have saved your State from
the humiliating and mortifying rejoicings
of the Bankses, the Sam iters, the Wilsons
and the Sewards; and you will receive the
thanks and the plaudits of the Democracy
of the whole Union, for your signal victory.
Below we give returns from 30 counties
out of the 82 in the State. These exhibit
a clear average gain of about 85 votes for
each county, and give assurance that Gov.
Bragg's majority will range between 8 and
10,000. This settles the question, respect
ing the vote of North Carolina, in Novem
ber, beyond all dispute.
Look at the returns, and compare results
with the vote two years ago. The Democ
racy have not only done well at home here
and in this Congressional district but in
all parts of the State, North and South,
East and West.

GAINS. -
A glance at the following table of gains
will show the counties which have most dis
tinguished themselves in this great victory.
Several in our immediate vicinity have co
vered themselves with glory. We allude to
Union (with her 3J5 gain!) to Lincoln,
Davidson, Ace.) Thus far. Union heads the
1 list, and is entitled to the banner. We re
gret that she could not know beforehand
that only 3 more votes were wanting to nul
lify the vote of Auson (that Know-Nothing
sink of iniquity) and to elect Terry Sena
tor. We have a Spartan Band iu Auson.
yearly increasing in nnmbers. Let them
continue in their gallant struggle for the
principles of the Constitution and the cause
of the South, and eventually their efforts
will be crowned with complete success.
Look at the numerous counties in the State
, breaking the shackles of Know-Nothingism
and affording evidence that the irresistible
wave of public opinion is driving the mon
ster beyond the borders of an enlightened
j and patriotic Southern people.

We have reported heavy gains for Gover
nor Bragg in many other counties, but we
shall omit placfng them in our table until
they reach us in an entirely reliable shape.
In Cleaveland and several other Western
counties, the Democratic gain is said to be
very large.
Jttecklciibur County.
Below will be found the result of the
election in this county Thursday. It will
be seen that the Democratic triumph is
complete and overwhelming. Governor
Rkaug has a majority of -SOI William
R. Myers, Esq., for the Senate, a majority
of 142 Wm, M. Matthews, Esq. for the
House of Commons, 439, and William
F. Davidson, Fsq., also for the Commons
a majori'y over Dr. Isaac Wilson (Iv. N.;
of 389. E. G. Gkier, Esq., (D.) is re
elected Sheriff, without opposition, by ;
vote of 1375. The Democrats of Meek
lenburg have thus spoken, in tones of thun
der, against Know-Nothingism. Gen. J. A.
Young, whom Mr. Myers has so badh
beaten, is on all hands acknowledged to
be one of the most popular gentlemen in
the county, still hanging on to the soiled
and tattered garments of Sam.
The election passed off quietly. Although
much interest was exhibited, as to the re
sult, we witnessed nothing of a disorderly
or unpleasant character during the whole
day.
The returns from every precinct in the
county are highly gratifying. They were
received by the Democrats of Charlotte, as
3 '
they came in from the several Boxes, on
Thursday night, with many demonstrations
of gratification. We commend to particu
lar notice the 'ote at " Hurt's." Sam is
stranger in that part of the county.
We annex the vote of 1854, and also
the vote of 1855, for Congress, to enable
a comparison to be made.

TIIC LEGISLATURE.
Iu the last Legislature there was a large
Democratic majority. In the next Legis
lature that majority will be greatly increas
ed. The Democrats have gained a member iu
Wake, one in Alamance, three in Orange,
one in Granville, two in Halifax, two in
Chatham, one in Columbus, and one in
Greene. The Know-Nothings have gained
one member in Brunswick and one in Yad
kin. A clear Democatic gain, thus far, of
TEN members.
In Catawba, Col. Ruth. (Dem.) is elect
ed to the H. of Commons, over the late
member, Mr. Shirrell.
In Gaston, Col. Richard Rankin (Dem.)
is elected to the H. of Commons.
In Lincoln, Col. A. P. Cansler (Dem.) is
elected to the H. of Commons.
James H. White, Esq., (Dem.) is re
elected Senator from the above 3 counties.
Dr. Mills (Dem.) is re-elected to the Se
nate, from the Rutherford district, over Dr.
Miller (Iv. N.)
In Cleaveland, Ramsour and Blanton
(Democrats) are elected to the House of
Commons.
Coleman (the gallant Coleman) every De
mocratic in this section will rejoico to learn,
is elected to tlie Senate in the Buncombe
district. The most unscrupulous and des
perate efforts were made by tho copper
head Know-Nothings of Buncombe to de
feat him, but the vipers bit a file. This we
egard as the great victory of this section
f the State.
In Union glorious Union it will be per
ceived by the returns above, D. Rushing,
sq. (Dem.) is elected to the H.ofCom-
iious by a very flattering vote.
Another gratifying result is the election
f Paul C. Cameron, Esq., to the Senate,
rom the Orange District. Mr. C, it will
oe remembered, not long since, cut Sam's
icquaintance.
Buncombe has, on this occasion, washed
iier hands entirely clean of Know-Nothingism.
She has also elected Marcus Erwin
(Dem.) to the H. of Commons, aud given
Gov. Bragg a handsome majority so we
learn.
P. S. A traveller reports that there is
but one single Know-Nothing elected in the
whole country west of Charlotte, and that
is Baxter, for the H. of Commons, in Hen-
rtersrm mnntT. Tn a flftv nr two we shall

FOR SALT RIVER.
A traveller, who arrived at Maj. Kerr's
Hotel, on Friday last, made the following
eutrv on the Hotel Register :
"SAM, olio NORTH-AMERICAN
from Massachusetts, hound to Salt River",
jarThe editor of theHJoncord Gazette"
has seen proper, in 1m last paper, to hold
up the "Democrat" as the author of a state
ment that the Hon. W. R. Smith, of Ala
bama, had deserted Know-Nothingism.
By withholding the fact that another jour
nal was tho author of the statement and
alone responsible for its truth or falsity, he
attempts to fix upon us a charge of com
mitting an "abominable falsehood." Now,
if the Editor of the Gazette had the same
disposition to deal fairly and to tell tho
truth, that he has exhibited to do us injus
tice and to perpetrate wilful and deliberate
falsehood, he would not have withheld
the fact that the statement appeared in our
paper copied from another journal and duly
credited thereto. We are no more respon
sible for the statement, whether correct T
incorrect, than the man in the moon or the
editor of the Gazette himself. This tie
editor of the Gazette was fully aware of, at
the time he charged us with asserting an
"abominable falsehood." His whole article
exhibits a wanton and malicious disposition
towards us. For thus copying into our pa
per an article, from another journal, with
the name of that journal attached, he not
only seeks to make his readers believe that
we have been guilty of an "abominable
falsehood," but he sneers at us as an editor,
and says "such editors (as we) had better
avoid Jess Holmes" (the fool-killer.) Now,
we are free to say that we have a very hum
ble opinion of our abilities and merits as an
"editor" yet, if we can be convinced that
we are as fit a subject for the "fool-killer"
as the individual who without provocation
thus speaks of us, we will straightway
abandon the press and types, and go to
making bricks, digging potatoes, or engage
in some other employment suitable to our
talents. Every number of the ' Gazette"
shows with what grace such a sneer is east
by its "editor" at his neighbor "editors."
In the very paper which contains this hit at
our humble efforts, there is proof of what
we say. "Henry L. Groncr, Esq.," sent up
a balloon in Concord, on the occasion of
the election of Thursday last. The editor
of the Gazette thus speaks of the ascension :
"The gassy traveller was speedily inflated,
and ascended majestically toward the hea
vens, amid the shouts of the assembled mul
titude, and the last we seen of it it was
growing small by degrees and beautifully
less in the distance."
That balloon was like the "gassy" editor
of the Gazette, who "grows small by de
grees and beautifully less," the longer you
look at him. He to talk about sending the
fool-killer after us! If there is a more
silly, stupid, illiterate, and contemptible
"fool" in charge of a press and types in
the whole Southern country, than this "ed
itor" who has been guilty of lying, iu no
attempt to fix a change of "falsehood" upon
us, and who attempts to inflate his own im
portance by declaring his neighbors proper
subjects for the "fool -killer," we have never
met, and never expect to meet with the in
dividual.
