On Thursday last the Polls were opened in this county, for the purpose of electing a Representative in Congress for the 3rd District. There being no regular opposi tion to the late incumbent, Hon. J. R. J. Daniel, there was but little excitement and consequently a very thin vote. The following is the official statement of the vote in the different precincts the scat tering votes were given. 45 to Hon. Arch'd Arl ington, of Nash; 33 to Henry V. Mil ler, Eq., of Raleigh, and 20 to others. Districts, Daniel.

Nine hundred feet of trestle work were put up' the first week after the occurrence, and in. the three following weeks the bridge was put in order for travel, which is 240 feet long, and 32 feet above the water, showing a dispatch in the work al most unprecedented in mechanical opera-lions. The whole was under the management and superintendence of Gen. Alex. Mc- Rac, the President of the Road, who gave unceasing personal attention to the plans and execution of the work. The inci dents connected with this affair, show how much it is to the interest of the com pany, and important to the public, to have a scientific and practical man in his posi sition one well acquainted with all the details of planning, building and repairing, as well as other operations of the Road. Gen. McRae, is, without doubt second to no officer in the Union, in regard to his qualifications for the office of President of a Rail Road. To say this is but jus1 ice; and it ought therefore to fee said. Among the well qualified and assiduous mechanics who assisted in this work, were Messrs. Crone, Walton, Sikcs and Turn- or, wno are entitled to much praise lor the zeal and anxiety they manifested, to have the work completed as soon as pos sible. Wilmington Commercial.

So far as we. have heard from the Sth distiiet, there has been a democratic gain of 50 votes in Pitt, and 22 in Wayne and a whig gain of 16S in Beaufort, 39 in Washington, and 12 in Craven. Mr. Stanlv was elected two years since by 47 majority so we may reasonably anticipate that the "conqueror'' is again rc-elccled. " '' '" ands FOR SALE. FOR THE T RBORO PRESS. State Bonds. We understand the bids for the $30,000 worth of North Car oline State bonds recently put into market by i he Treasurer, were opened on the 2Glh inst. by Mr. Courts, in presence of the Secretary of State and other gentle men; and that the bonds were sold at an average premium of a little more than two per cent. No bonds were sold for less than 1 per cent. We learn further that the bids were all by citizens of the State and amounted to four limes as much as was advertised. The Ticasurer has made a record of the bids for the in spection of the Committee of Finance, and has transmitted letters to the success ful bidders. Standard. Wonderful Cure, Mr. George Ren dleman has just related to us a wonderful cure performed on one of his negro boys on yesterday, by a man named Simonc, of Cabarrus county. The case as related is this: The boy , had a tooth drawn on Tuesday morning, and his gums bled a usual for some time afterwards. In the course of the day the bleeding increased, and flowed so copiously that fears were entertained of the boy's bleeding to death. His master was sent for, and being in Concord at the time the messenger went J there. In that village he met with Mr. Simone, to whom he communicated the rather unusual case. That gentleman, without hesitation, assured the messenger that he could cure the boy without the trouble of going to see him. He only re quired to know the name of the boy, the name of his master, &c, and would pro cced with his remedy. These were fur nished him, on the spot, lie then with a few word, (not heard or understood by any one present,) and a few jesliculations, turned to Mr. Melton, the messenger, and informed him the boy was well! It was then four o'clock; and on rclurninz, Mr. lie. We have some very strong and thor ough going advocates in our midst among the daughters of old Edgecombe. Some of the Ladies in the neighborhood appear to be very strongly in favor of forming a Union of the "Daughters of Temperance" which is nothin more than could be ex pected when wo take into consideration that the sympathies of woman are ever open to the cause of civilization, humani ity and morality;'or anything pertaining to the beauties of domestic happiness. So it cannot be said that the fair ones of the community, aro idle dreamers to this great march of civilization; I now take leave of the subject and with sentiments of respect ask permission to subscribe my name.
