We are iudepted to Charles Henry Forter,
| of North Carolina, who came passenger by the
General Burdside, for North Carolina papers
of n late date, from which we extract the fol
lowing glorious news from North Carolina
(From the Nowben Progress, May 10Y
The information which we give below is
gratifying to the lover Of his country. North
Carolina at last begins to awake to the fact
that j. Davis e. Co, have been making a
cats paw of the Old North State to poke their
chesnuts out of the fire, and refuses longer to
submit to the disgrace and burden which has
been imposed upon her by the scoundrels at
Richmond The old patriotic fires which burn
ed so brightly at Alamance and MeckleBburg
are rapidly developing themselves, and we
/ trust will bum with an increasing brilancy up
on the alter Of liberty. North Carolina is III
fair way Of being regenerated from the thral,
dom of sin and Iebeldom. We trust that this
may rrove the barbinger of better days, and
that bright prospects are ahead for our be
| loved country. We obtain the news by way
of Washington, and direct from Raleigh.
