NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION
Tie returns received sines our last, confirm our
.Utmentoiheieralresulvia: SIX Whigs to
THREE Loco Foco Congressmen ; but n are ena-
bled to add aoma further details.
In the Salisbury District, Mr. Bvdks is elected
by a Urge majority. Mr. B. b a man of powerful
intellect, and ought to be made Chairman of some
Committee, ajipointed U investigate abuses or cor
raption, and we heps ha will bet He can neither
be influenced by fear or favor, and ah the storms of
Loco Focoism will prove Impotent either to bend or
break his purpose. 1 Hets, "emphatically, an honest,
firm, and independent man, and will make himself
Loowa to the country before he has been long in
Congress.
Ia the Mountain District, ire presume, from what
we hear, that Hon. Thomas L. Cusgxak has been
elected OTer his competitor, Gen. Btsum.
We are highly gratified to announce, also, the
election f that indefatigable young champion of
"Whiz principles, in. the Newbern District, R. S
Doxkkix, Esq. A few days since, it was reported
that his success was doubtful, and Loco Focoism was
in high glee at his anticipated defeat But a frost,
a killing frost," has nipped all their cherished hopes,
ai they now moat reluctantly acknowledge, that
Mr. Doukkll is elected.
The most astonishing result has taken place in
theEdenton District. Two yean ago, Biggs was
elected fey 148 majority, and, now, he has been beat
en, by tus same competitor, some six sr siren hundred
rotes. W care not for the causes that hare pro-
diced this result the result, itself, is glory enough
for one campaign.

.; WAR RUMORS.
Just as oar last paper was going to Press, we re
ceived an Extra, giving' an account of Gen. Scons'
entrance into ue uapitai or Mexico, we were
convinced, however, the news was premature, and
withheld the information from our readers. It now
apppears our judgment was right in the matter
The event swy have taken place, and, if it has net,
we have no doubt it soon will, but these premature
publications are calculated to throw discredit 09 the
Press of the County and weaken its Influence.
IffESSRS. BIGGS AND OUTLAW.;
W learn thai CoL Biggs sustains hlmaelf nobly
before the people, and that he is in a fair way Id give
Mr. Outlaw a more signal defeat than he received
two yeara gbrStemdar&, July 28.
The above prediction, which appeared in the
"Standard," the Very publication preceding the
.Election. ti& give some idea of the accuracy which
osmafiy disti&guuhei the calculations of that prist.
Instead of u a more signal defeat," Mr. Outlaw has
beaten A M, probably, 700 votes, effecting a change
of nearly. 650 ! Oh 1 what a Prophet !

EDITOR'S COBRESPONDEtCE.
Morganton Ag- 8-
Our Election came off to-day. What the result
is, nobody knows. Clingman's majority in this.
County, over Gen. Bynum, is 105, and one Precinct
to bear from, which may probably increase it to 120.
The vote throughout the District will be much less
than' usual. From what I have learnedj 1 think
CUngman will be elected, but will not be surprised
if it should be like the Dutchman's going to Heaven
d-d tight squeeze,"
I will give you full returns as soon at I hear the
final result " In haste, yours, Ste.
v Hamptonvtile, Aug. 9
Mi Galxs : I am enabled to say to you from our
returns, some official and some unofficial, that Mr,
Borncn is elected in this District, by a majority va
r 1 ooo maioritr over nis IV JUa com-
petitor, Mr. Boolx.
In haste and respectfully,
, .
Ptf her Crttii Aug. 9.
Mr nun Sr t I rejoice that I can inform yon
that Mr, Boron's (the regular nominee of the Dis-
trict Convention.) ma lor it v for Cenrress over Begl.
is about 800 votes. We have not yet heard, steal
ty, from Wilkes and Ashe, and It is possible the son
ority insy reach 1000 votes, Yon truly.
"Let us not tMNBenient wlA nWl .Irrti the
Nominee-e hkwVriry be such, tfcst.it will Via
dieate. before' the whole people the Convention' and
the usages of the party, and at the ftamt time rite a
last rebuke te these wis mre altemtfinr. for selfish
pyrpeseii U distract andjuide : ' ,
Such was the language of exhortation used by the
"Standard" to the Loco Focos of the Wake Dis
trict,' and such Its ungenerous abuse of Messrs. Aft-
iiftow andTooi, .(his political brethren,)' but a
brief nericid before the Election And, yet, Dakiix,
Mtne nominee eecaped with the skin of his teeth.
Had not Tool been a candidate, AanmoTow would
hate -been elected. We do not know so ranch about
other Counties, but many Whigs, who were absent
from the Polls, and many others who Toted for
Data!, assigned to us as a reason for so doing, that
with Tools in the field, AaaiMOTON stood no chance,
and they should therefore Tote for Dan iel from con
siderations of a personal nature, which it is useless
I and unnecessary to allude to here. In a single
handed contest, to-morrow, AaatKOTOM could beat
Daniel ia the District, easily. We voted, oursclf,
for Toole, because we like him personally, and be
cause he is in favor of Gen. Taylor for the Presi
dency, and is sound on one principle, at least, of
Whig faith, thoagh we knew, at the time, it was a
tote thrown away. We do not regret it, and would
do so again, in this triangvlar contest.
The most amusing episode, however, to this ex
hortation of the u Standard," is, that, even in Edge-
comb, the "land of the faithful," the independent
candidates beat "the nominee" more than S00 votes!
When will the "jStandard" preach again ?
STATE ELECTIONS.
KENTUCKY.
The last mail brings returns sufficient to Indicate
the result of the Congressional election in nine out
of the ten Districts. In the last Conn-ess the Ken
tucky delegationstood 7 Whigs to 3 Democrats.
The following summary indicates the result:
1. Linn Boyd, D.
3. Todd, W.
7.
8.
Duncan, W.
C. S. Morehead,
W.
4. Ajlett Buckner, W.
5. Thompson. W.
9. L. M. Cox, W.
10. Miijor Gaines, W
6. Adams, W.
The above are all reported to be elected, leaving
one district (tho 2d) still to be heard from. It is a
Whig district, but the contest is so close that it is
still a matter of doubt as to who is elected. It was
I represented in the lust Congress by Henry, Whig,
who carried the District by 700 majority. Thomp
son in the 5lh, and Gaines in the 10th District, ore
Whig gains.
INDIANA.
The delegation from this State in the last Con
gress stood 8 Democrats to two Whigs. The re
turns received last night iudicate the following re
sult in eight of the ten Districts ;
I. Embree W.
5. W. W. Wick, D.
6. D. M. Dobson, D.
7. Thompsou, W.
9 Jna W. Cachcart, D.
2. T. J. Henley. D.
3. J. L. Robinson, D.
4. C. B. Smith, W.
From the Sth and 10th Districts there are no re
turns they were both represented by Democrats in
the last Congress.
The Legislature is still doubtful. The Whigs
I have made some gain, and the result will be very
close.
ALABAMA.
The election took place in Alabama on the 2d inst.,
for Governor, Members of Congress and the State
Legislature.
In Mobile the Whig ticket was successful through
out The vote for Congress stood : Gayle (W.) 1253 ;
Taylor (L.) F.) 1040, being a Whig gain of 383,
which is more than the whole Locofoco majority was
two years ago, and encourages the belief that Gaylc
I is elected.
We have the returns from Montgomery county,
where HilHard (W.) has a very handsome majority,
and is re-elected to Congress.
The candidates for Gorenror were Davis (W.) and
Chapman, (L) F) and the handsome gains made by
Davis, so far as heard from, justify a hope that he
I may even be elected ! Snch a result in Alabama,
rould be the knell of Locofocoism in the South.
THE NXT PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.
It is not generally remembered, that the next
Presidential contest comes off throughout the Union
on the same day. Consequently the wire-pullers,
and National (Jonventiomsts, will nave no oppor
tunity to trade vote, hedge on bets and the like
transactions as has been the case heretofore. New
I York will have to go into the contest without know
ing how Pennsylvania has voted. It will therefore
be seeu that the people of the United States will all
be busy at once like so many bees in a bee hive, vo
ting for Gen. Taylor, and the telegraphic reports of
his victories will be made along the wires in perfect
thunder-clape. All the lines will be engaged to
carry off the enthusiasm.

Shocco Springs, August Wth. 1847.
Mr. Gales : I am again at this delightful place
the famous Summer retreat for those in the pursuit
of health or pleasure. And 1 assure you, Shocco
never looked better, even in its best days. The in
telligent Proprietor Mr. Calvert, with a taste pe
culiar to himself, has made it every thing it should
the walks are made more pleasant, and the public
and private rooms have an air of neatness and com
fort that must satisfy even the most fastidious. As
to the table, he must be an epicure, indeed, who can
complain. To the substantial of life, are added all
the delicacies which the season affords ; and the ser
vants are active, intelligent and courteous.
For those of your readers living at a distance, it
may be necessary to say, that Shocco is nine miles
from the pleasant village of Warrenton A hack
runs daily between these two places, for the accom
modation of travellers. The Hotel is situated on an
eminence, which far over-looks the adjacent country.
It contains a parlor, ball-room, dining-room, and bar
room, and is nanked on either side by a long row of
rooms, used as dormitories Majestic oaks cover the
hilL and give to the lawn in front of the Hotel a
grand appearance. The path to the Spring at the
base of the hill, winds its way under the wide
spreading branches of these noble trees ; and it is
here that the old and infirm invigorate their feeble
limbs, and gallant beaux and sighing maidens give
them&elTes up to day-dreams, in planning together
their future course through life.
Last night was the great night of the season the
Bill. And it was my intention to have given you
an account of it ; but I greatly fear my head and
my heart are in a poor condition to do justice to
Shocco on that occasion. Much of the beauty, in
tellect and wealth of our State was here. There
were from the Counties of Craven. Pitt, Northamp
ton, Edgecomb, Halifax, Warrenj Franklin, Nash,
and others, young Ladies who would adorn any po
sition iu society; who made me feel proud that I
was of the same State, that I was warmed by the
same sun, and fanned by the same refreshing winds.
Cotillion after cotillion went its merry round, until
the night was far spent, when the young Ladies and
Gentlemen sought quiet repose the former, I sup
pose, to dream of conquests made, and the latter of
hopes prostrate, and pleasures never to be realized.
If there are any young gentlemen in and about your
City, who have abjured the married state, I beg that
you would send them down ; and I wager you a bas
ket of Champagne, that, in less than a mouth, they
will perjure themselves, at least in heart. Thus
much for the pleasures and comforts of the place.
Shocco. for the last half century or more, I sup
pose, has been resorted to for the healing property
Of
its waters. And expertenco has shown, that for
dyspepsia, debility, chronic affections of the liver,
and cutaneous diseases, and many other affections
incident to our climate, not without the happiest re-t
suits. And 1 hope the time is not far distant, when
it will be more frequently resorted to ; when we
shall not go North for our health, as we do for our
horses, carriages, and furniture; but seek it at our
own Springs, where we can find some sympathy, and
in the hour of disease have our bed-side watched
over, and in death receive a decent burial, evenl
tnouzu we dc peunyiess. it is not my purpose
dispumge Springs North of as ; but with true filial
gratitude, 1 would direct the public mind to our own
noble btate to her great social, moral and physical
advantages to our own Springs, and, to our own
noble mountains, the pride and boast of every true
hearted North Carolinian. And if in any decree I
should succeed, 1 shall think 1 have done much, and
performed a pious duty I owe'niy native State.
1 fear I have already exceeded the usual limits of
an epistolary correspondence ; and hoping soon to
sec you here, and to enjoy with you the kindness
and hospitalities of the season,
1 am. most respectfully,
A NORTH CAROLINIAN.
GEN. TAYLOR REJECTED BY THE
LOCOS I
The Locofocos of Baltimore lately held meetings
invthe several wards of the City. In the 10th ward,
Mr. C. G. Belt offered the following Resolutions : '
"Resolved, That the Democrats of the 10th ward
appreciate in the highest degree the achievements of
uenerai a ayior ana nis orave ana gauam rouowers.
and feel most grateful to them for the glory won,
and the services rendered to the country.
"Resoloedi That Uenerai Taylor through life has
proved himself a man of the sternest integrity, of
devoted patriotism, of sound common sense and of a
cool discriminating judgment qualities Which emi
nently commend him to the people at the next elec
tion for President of the United State.'
From the official report of the proceedings, as
published in the Argus (Loco,) and signed by T. P.
Scott, Chairman, and M. N. Falls, Secretary, we
learn that u a separate tote had been asked for.
the first was carried unanimously, and the second
rejected; by a vote of twenty-five in the negative to
six in the affirmative.''

The Time-honored Custom of taking a little open
ing Mediciue in the Spring of the year, is founded in
common sense aud sound philosophy. Every one is
aenaible of the inconvenience experienced ou th6 re
currence of a warm spell, after a seaaou of cold wea
ther. A feeling of lassitude, drowsiness, sometimes
a winimiog of the head and headache, a sense of
fulueas, aud a host of unpleasant (symptoms are the
general results.' The inorbid accumulations of whi
ter are set loose by warm weather, and float in the
circulatiou or lodge in some part of the body. Hence
it is perhaps, that Spring is so fatal to consumptives
aud others.
For the porpwe of purifying the blood and other
flnids, there is no medicine superior to Wright' In
