From NORTH CAROLINA Hopeful and Ges-
RiHs UniOn Manifestation The late report, from
North Carolina give gra flying accounts Of the
growing opposition to secession IN the old North
state. IL IL now pretty well settled, that the
state Constitutional Convention which ,ece-
ded," il in existence, and now pretty sick Of Sc
CeSson The northern part Of North Caro!iIa
Gcnpa ratively free from slaves, IL 10 said deci-
ded in Convention TO submit the following tax on
slaves
"The annual tax on all slaves over S aud less
than 10 years OF age 10 S. over 10 and ess than Is
SO over Is and less than 20, Sl5 over 20 and less
%. $50
This measure, It is now reported has become
law. by large majority, and il now embodied in
the State CODstitufin. The large slavrholders In
(SOuthern) North Carolina opposed this mode Of
taxation, but the small holders and non slave
holders have used the uspopulafity Of the civil
war 10 carry the tax,-and hence, even now, the
shareholders are being sick Of tie war The
Hon. MIR. Gilmer, EI-M. c., ever an opponent of
secession, though obliged to yield TO IL, has been
very Instrumental in enacting the law. The
Hon. Mr.. Graham (Mr. Fillmore's Secretary OF
ths Navy was yery instrumental In IL also-di,ro
Mr. Badger (Gen. Harrison's Attorney GeneraD
Mi Grsham il now talked Of for Governor, and
strange TO say, be Unsupported by the Democratic
orgsn Of the State, the Raleigh = andard, w. w.
Holden, editor. In bringing tie Hon. VIM A.
GTabams name forward for this position, the
StandIId says:
'.Wby such an anxiety on the part of the per 8,
secession ro-paTty stripe, TO know who Is TO be
the next Governor Of North Carolina, We think
their anxiety may be relieved In some degree by
telling them who the people will net have to rule
over the destinies Of North Carolina First they
will not have foreigner (meaning the editor Of
the Raleigh Journal) secondly, they will not
have Yankee (meaning tie editor of the Raleis
Rsgister,) both seccsh. Thirdly, they will not
have a secessioniSt of the South CarolfBa school
And that there may not be any doubt who 10 meant
under the third head, we will define the term by
Iemsrking that tie people want no man to preside
over the destinies OF the State who made the cleo
ZION OF Mr.. Lincoln the occasion for breaking up

The expedition to Washington was sue

With an escort of gunboats. Tive compan-

Court House and left there. The citizens
received the invaders without any apparent
excitement or apprehension, some few ex-
pressing Union sentiments whilst others
had nothing to say either way After
holding the place one day and gaining all
the information they could, the expedition
returned to NeWbern.
