We understand, says the Troy Times, that a man died in West Troy last Thurs day eveniug, with a disease rtrangciy re sembling cholera, and his body was depos ited in a coffin, and fully prepared for burial. The remains -were kept until Saturday evening, and then,,, while the friends of the deceased were engaged in holding a wake ov r him, the dead man slowly recovered from the state in which he had so lonz lain, and actually to?c from the cofnn, walked acros3 the floor, and requested a drink of water, saying la was very thirsty. This comes to us from one of the parties present, and wo see no reason to doubt her statement. We further underhand that the man is convalescent.

Despatches received in this city from Raleigh, Wil mington, Fayettewile, and other points in North Carolina, show large Whig gains, leaving no doul t cf Dockery's election, as Governor, by a considerable majority. The Whigs gain largely in the Lsgisla- t ut LATER. The telegraphic rcport from Noith Carolina are of a favorabk character, and state, in general term.-, that the return, to far as received, show lare Whig gain3. The result of the election cannot yet be known. The only partic ulars we lia'.-c, in addition to those pub lished above are the following, copied fiom the Wilmington Herald ofFriday: It is wjth feelings of unmingled satis faction that wc point to the vote of New Hanover for Governor. We have male a clear gain, as far as heard from over K.rr's vote, of 113 for Dockery, while Bragg fails behind Reid 21 1 votes. Thi ih equal to a gain altogether of '324 votes. -If every country lias done as well, Dock fry's majority in the State will Le count ed by thousands. Mr. Dockcry also gains in Colunibus, Duplin, and Halifax. We have not as certained the aggregate; the nature of our information is unofficial, and of course liable to mistake. It is evident, howev cr, that Mr. Dockery is over coming Hi-id s majority of 1652, (Bragg cannot receive Rcid s vote in the State) and the prospect thus far of his election is verv encouraging. A Sad Story. The following extra ordinary case occurred in Mississippi un der the slave laws of that State : 'A planter was affiieted with a loathsome disease. So offensive were his ulcers that he was deserted by his white friends; and, whilethus afflicted and forsaken, a girl, whom he owned as a slave, kindly and patiently waited upon him, dressed his ulcers, cleansed bif person, and watch ed over him until he eventually recover ed. With gratitude and affection to hi benefactor, he took her to Cincinnatti, Ohio, executed to her a deed of mauu mission, had it recorded, returned to Mississippi, and' there mariied her in le fill form. J he' lived together affection atel' for many years, reared a family o children, and, as he lay upon his death bed by will he divided his property be twecn his wife and children. His broth er hearing of his death, came for wan and demanded the property The widow and children were iudiguant at the dc- maud. They too. were seized, and the validity of that marriage and will was tried before Judge Sharkey, of that State. who decided that tho whole matter was a fraud upon the law of Slavery that the property belonged to the collateral heirs. His widow was sold by the surviving brothers, tho cliilclren wore bid off at pub lic auction, and both mother and children now toil in cjiains, or sleep iu serviLe graves. i Bequatking a fund for supplying tbe poor with wood, is not an unusual occur rence.

This tost was considered the crpcrimctttum cru ris, and the landlord proceeded to charge the beardless boy with usurping one o; the most sacred privilcdgts appertaining to masculinity. Alas! for humain frail ty the conlession, alter a little evasion, was indeed made, that she ivies a young Uuly, who resided iu Philadelphia auu' leehug desperately in love with a young gentleman to whom her parents were op posed, she had resoited to this method to elude observation, anu nau agreed it i ill i to meet her lover at this place, and, to goth er, proceed to the Bedtord Springs. She wept bitterly at her folly, and no doubt was taught a very severe lesson. She bad every appearance of rcspceta bility and modesty, and has no doubt been enticed from a happy home by som: designing villain whose plan was fortu nately frustrated, as the young lady re- turind to her parents in Philadelphia th uext morning, where we hope she will re- main,a wiser girl and more dutiful daugh ter. But the end is not yet.

The other State officers are ranged in order behind each other one in the rear with his hand on the open door. The Po-tinaster General is on his knees, under the table, looking in vain for support upon sundry packages of pa pers, labelled "Election Returns, Su preme Cotrt lfc'5l."
