who made the election Of Mr. Lincoln the occasion for break
ing up the Government"
This is very emphatic and right 20 the point, and
bat reflects the sentiments of large majority OF
the people Of the State. Mr.. Holden il one of the
abest and most fearless writers in the South, and
what Is sill more gratifying, the people Of Nor
Carolina will snstain him in what be may promul-
gate in favor of the Union.
When the proposition was mp before the CoDven-
ton to levya tax upon the slave property, very
exciting debate onsued. Several Of the most exten.
ave slave-owners, among whom were Messrs john
son, Raynor, Thompson and others, who bitterly
opposed this great reform stated in their speeches
that they would emncipate their slaves before
they would pay q dollar of the tax, for the reason
that they had all become completely dsmoralized
sinee the with the bel eff that Lincoln and Ere.

a flag Of truce from Raleigh came in to-day to in
form Gen. Burnfide that 400 Union prisoners
would be delivered at Washington, N. c., tomorrow.
They are from Salisbury, n. c., where they have
been confined for several months. The most OF them
ere old prisoners, who were taken in Virginia. The
large armed transport steamer Cossaek, Capt.
Bennett. who distinguished himself in the Newbern
battle, will leave here tins morning for Washington
n. c., and will then proceed directly to New York
with her welcome load Of $50 Of these prisoners.

tie Government and the cause Of the Union. She is
the steamer that rescued two schoODers, while IN
snking condition, with their crews, from watery
crave last November, while stationed at Hatteras
Iuet when all the captains of the other steamers 10
the squadron considered it certain destruction to ven
ture outside the Bar The fearless and bold captain
with his brave officers said that they would save the
lives of tbose if they persisted in the attempt
II was one Of the most perious and dauntless efforts
Of the kind ever attempted on this coast. But the
gallant ship, AFTER long and fearful struggle with
the eemsnts, succeeded in bringing the two schoon-
ers and all on board, safely into port.
In all the battles Of the Burnside Expedition in
which the Putnam has been engaged, she has be-
haved in the most noble manner, always in the
thickest Of the fight. When the gunboat Seymour,
sunk at ia,terss, and was given up for Loot, Capt
iotchkiss with his Yankee ingenuity, raised her up
in a few hours and restored her to the Government
in nearly as good condition ~ ever, thus saving
Uncle Sam some $4,000, for which good Job the
prudent and energetic Capt. Hotchkiss has not yet
re- eiyed the thanks Of the Navy Department.
These things ara deserving Of notice, and it is TO
he bo,eA that Secretary Welles will recognize the
faithful services Of Capt. H., who is among the most
modest Of men.
