The North Carolina election.
The soldiers of North Carolina in the field, camps, and hospitals, voted yesterday for Governor of that State. The candidates are the present incumbent, Governor Z. B. Vance, and Mr. W. W. Holden, editor of the Standard newspaper, printed at Raleigh, N. C. The latter is known as the "peace" candidate, and, from the samples of the army vote we have received, would seem to be about as thoroughly defeated as any candidate for office who has been before the people lately. Those citizens of North Carolina who are at home will vote on the 4th of August.At General Hospital No. 24 the vote stood:
| for Vance, | 112 |
| for Holden, | 6 |
in the Rowan (N. C.) Artillery, Lieut. W. W. Myers commanding, the vote cast was:
| For Vance, | 157 |
| For Holden, | 0 |
In the same company the members from different counties gave the following votes:
Rowan county--Senate: W. E. March, 80; N, Boyden, 1, House of Commons
--F. E. Shober, 95; M. L. Holmes, 57; W. H. Crawford, 41. For Sheriff — W. A. Walton, 99.
Edgecombe county--Senate: J. H. Powell, 21. House of Commons--David Cobb, 21; John Dancey, 20; L. B. Farmer, 2.
The whole vote of the North Carolinians in the hospitals of Richmond was furnished us by a courteous friend last night, and from it we learn that Gov. Vance received 867 votes and Holden 25.
By reference to the telegraphic column it will be seen that Holden's vote in the vicinity of Petersburg is quite as discouraging to the "peace" party as that given above.
