Singular Circumstance.—The Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer, of the 13th instant, says:—
"This Congressional District has long been remarkable for close contests—the majority of the successful candidate seldom reaching 100 votes. At the election in 1831, between Messrs. Deberry and Bethune, the former, who had been incumbent, was beaten by a majority of 37 votes only. The election just held between the same candidates, has resulted in the defeat of Mr. Bethune, the late member, by the identical majority of 37 votes! We take pleasure in stating, that the member-elect is in favor of the United States Bank, and of Mr. Clay's Land Bill."
