SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1843. MAJORITY, Over the "Conqueror," who did "not feel like one who had an opponent." ELECTION RETURNS. On Thursday last, the Polls of the seve ral couniies composing the Eighth Con gressional District of this State, were com pared at Washington, and the following is the official result, for which we are in debted to Mr. VVm. D. Petway, Sheriff of this county. Ve also insert the votes given last year for Messrs. Henry and Morehead, for Governor: Arrington. Stanly. Henry. Mol.

We have unofficial returns from the Halifax district, which give Mr. Daniel a tnajority of 212. In tb-e Ra'eigh district, Gen. Saunders is elected by a' majority of 137. In the Wilmington district, Mr. McKay is unquestionably re-elected, which, secures to the Democracy four out of our nine Congressional members Mr. Rayner (Whig) is elected by a large majority in the ninth district In the 2ml and 3rd "districts, it is not yet. ascertained Whether the Democratic candidates, Mes srs. Craige and R'eid, are successful, or are beaten. (QOur Democratic friends in the lower part of the district, appear to be as much elated as we are at the auspicious result of the Congressional election. A writer tru ly observes: "This is glorious news for the' Democracy. We have at last conquered .the conqueror the Sth district has washed herself of the pollutions of Federalism, and now plants her banners on the 'outer wall.' We are at last able to . wave our banner in proud triumph over the crumbling ram parts of Federalism. Long and hard have we struggled for this; but 'Truth, crush'd to earth will rise again, The eternal years of God are hers; But Stanly, wounded writhes in pain, And dies amidst his worshippers!' " (JWe learn from the Republican, that a Public Dinner wan tendered to Mr. Ar lington by the Democracy of Beaufort, an Thursday last, which he politely ac cepted. From the Washington Republican. A GLORIOUS VICTORY! The Conqueror" conquered The "Conqueror" is at last conquered, and competed to submit (though unwill ing to the decision, and yieM to the hide- mentof the un terrified Democracy11 of the eigmn uisinci, i, democrats, we have achieved a glorious triumph indeed. . glorious, because the principles for which we have been contending are the principles of truth, justice, and the happiness of the many principles which we, as Freemen, hold dear, dearer even than life itself principles for which our revolutionary sires fought and bled, for which they sacrificed iaeir an, ana tor the maintenance of which we hope we are willing, io spend the last! drop of blood in our veins. For these we have long and manfully, but not despairing ly fought, the last several years. We have fought manfully for the prize. We have endeavored by all fair and honorable means, to achieve the victory we have achieved, to put down (and we hope for ever) the Federal misrule, and tyranny which have so long reigned over us in old Beaufort, and other parts of the 8th Con gressional district, glorious, because wr have "laid low" the self styled Conquer or," who has so long waged war against us and our interests,- glorious because we have beaten him badly, and fenced him. for a few years at least, in our halls of Leg islation. It is ungenerous, and we know ii partakes too much of the spirit of the say age, to exult over a fallen enemy, and in this we shall not imitate the example so of ten set us bv the Federal Whig, decency, all the talent, party. No, we will not imitate them in this, we will not crow over, abuse and insult them. Far be it fiom us to do so, for we too, claim some of the decency, and it would not appear de cent if we weie thus to act. Hut, Democrats, let us rejoice that we have succeeded in electing to Congress a man who supports, and will support, the principles we hold dear. Let us rejoice that the Federalists no longer have the ascen dancy over us in this di.-tiict, oral le st let us grant them a respite, and dispense with the services of their former repre-en-tative. Let us rejoice that we have defea ted a man, who we think and believe has no interest in common with our own. lvei us rejoice that after all the efforts made, by the Whigs of this district, after the unremit ted exertion and sleepless vigilance ol each and every one of them, after all the fraud ulent votes given here and in other pre cincts by that party, (and we could enumer ate many,) after all t heir abuse heaped up on our Candidate and ihe Democrat" gener ally, tl ev have been defeated, and a humili ating defeat it is. We opine Mr. Stanly will now acknowledge that it is not such a diflii ull matter to conquer AI as he once thought ihat he considers now he "had an opponent," and that "his mother knows i . . . . i . i he s out ' that the 'iasn county noar pin" ha rooted him out of his s 'at in the next Congress that Mr. Arrington not only has the honor of having a river named after him, but that he now "claims it by conquest". Mr. Stanly 's friends say, that "he is rejoiced that he is not elected that he is a fr eeman once more that he bears it well," &o. But we believe "our share of thatf & we are almost tempted to quote the old saying, tisour grapes." In the begin ning of the campaign, he, by his "wither ing'sarcasm" so freely and lavishly bestow ed, endeavored to ridicule Mr. Arrington, Io make the peop'e believe that Mr. A. was an ignoramus a perfect "Jack Hol land" and endeavored in every way to prejudice them against him, but such stuff would not answer; and he has lound to his sorrow, that he was mistaken in the course lie had adopted. And after belching forth a tirade of abusive slang, at every place where he addressed the people, upon Mr. A. and the Democrats generally, to be lefeated to be so badly beaten, by a Jack Holland," must be humiliating in the extreme. (jpThe following is the vote at the dif ferent precincts in Pitt county: Jirrington. Stanly Greenville, 154 154 Tail's, 26 97 Buck's. 24 17 Tyson's, 19 22 Cross Roads, 4 50 Falkland, 47 44 Andrews's, 66 25 Pactolus, 17 8& Burney's, 42 77 Haddock's, 10 22 Griffin's, 4G 50 Perkins's, 16 3 Stansell's', 65 7 536 654 (ifThe Raleigh Register lately publish ed a Correspondence, in which the Federal Whigs of this" State were informed that they might, expect a visit from Mr. Clay, sometime previous to the next Presiden tial election. The subject is happily dis posed of in an able article on our first page, which we copied from the Democratic Sig nal, and which we commend to the atten tion of our readers. (JpWe understand that the cars of the Wilmington Rail Road ran over a cow on Wednesday last, near Rocky Mount De pot, and were thrown off the track and in jured so materially as to detain the passen gers until another train could be procured. Two or three persons wore slightly bruis ed, and a negro injured badly so that his recovery is doubtful. QpLast Saturday we noticed the relief of the farmers in this vicinity from the drought to day we congratulate them on their escape from the flood. During the last and present week we have had a suc cession of heavy rains, which have inunda ted some of the low grounds, and swollen the atreams so as to render some of them (,1ft. We are nappy to har, thill impassa the damage is far less than was at first anti cipated; and falls far short of that experi enced further up the country. Should the weather hereafter prove favorable, a large Corn crop will still be realised. We are nleased to learn, that notwithstanding the heavy losses sustained last year by wind and rain, it has been satisfactorily ascer tained that Edgecombe still made a surplus more Corn having been exported than imnnrted into the county. It was the first year in which it was doubtful whether it had made a support for the inhabitants. Singular Suicide We learn that a few days since Mr. Edwin Edwards, of Nash county, went to a fence near his resi dence and placed his neck in such a posi tion, that by kicking a prop from under the rails they came down on his neck and broke it, killing him immediately. Mr. Edwards was about 55 or 60 years old, had a family, was in easy circumstances, ap pealed to enjoy the comforts of life, was temperate, prudent, beloved by his neigh bors, and had never manifested much care or anxiety respecting his worldly pros Meets, or intimated that he was much bur dened by the toils and trouhles of this world yet in the midst of apparently all the moral and social enjoyments of life, in full vigor of body and mind, without ex pressing a sentiment of dissatisfaction he coolly and deliberately puts an end to his existence. 'Tis strange, 'tis passing strange 'lis wonderful !" 3 Gen. Cass was nominated for the Piesi- ! dency at Washington, Indiana, at the late Democratic Convention held at that place. From the Raleigh- Standard. New Members of Congress Ni twenty-two are Whigs. In the last Con gress there was a majority of Whigs from the same States. The next Congress will comprise but 223 members. Under the late apportionment there were 242 mem bers, including Michigan and Arkansas. The Democrats will have a large majority in the next House of Representatives. From the Raleigh Register. The Flood. Never within the memory of that remarkable personage, "the oldest inhabitant," was there ever such a Rain as fell on Thursday and Friday last, in this region. It is feared, immense destruction nas been done to the Corn crops on the low lands. Bridges, fences, mills and mill dams have been washed away in every direction. Six serious breaches have been made in the Rail Road between this city and Forestville, a distance of 15' miles, one of which is about 100 feet long, and the embankment 30 feet high. It will proba bly require from 1,200 to SI, 500 to re pair the damage. Arrangements have been made for the transportation of the Mail and Passengers, so that no interrup tion will take place to the travel. Attempted Assassination of the Post Master General Mr. Wickliffe, whilst on his way from Old Point Com fort -lial- 1 1 more on trie sieaiuuuai ueuria, wan Mini fied in the breast with a knife, by a young man of the name of Gardner, son of Col. C. K. Gardner, late First Auditor of the Post Office Department. The blade struck the right breast bone with much force, inflicting a severe wound. Before he could repeat the blow his hand was seized by Lieut. Bradford, and he was taken into custody. Mr. WicklifiVs two daughter. were pre sent at the painful scene. We are happy to add that the wound, though "severe, on ly caused the confinement of Mr. W. for a lew days". He is now nearly convalescent. Previous to this attack, the conduct of young Gardner had been such as to in duce doitbts of his sanity. Since his arri val in W ashington, he has been pronoun ced insane, and has been lodged in the Un led States Hospital. Richmond Her. Virginia State . Stocks Virginia Stocks have rapidly risen. Some months ago they were quoted at $8S. In .

We have heard of a sale of five shares at Suffolk, by auction, on Monday last, at $71 25; but this being on time, the price was not considered a fair test of its market value; we are advised, however, of a private sale in this Borough, on Wednesday at 70, which shows that the stock of this rriuch abused institution has rapidly recuperated after remaining for a long time, and until recently, below 50. Norfolk Her.
