From North Carolina,

A dispatch dated at Newberne, May
9Th, says: A report came inside the
lines yesterday that the North Carroll
ma banks had refused to pay their as
scssmcnt to the Confederate Govern.
ment, in which determination they are
sustained by Gov. Vance. who reiter.
ates his threat to recall the rebel
troops from this State.
General Foster sent all the rebel fam
lilies, 60 in number, out of Newbcrne.
The rebels refused to receive our flag
Of truce, and the families were left be.
yond our lines. and between ours and
the rebel pickets, at place called
Cove Crick.
A large number Of secessionists
residents Of Newberne, were sent out
side our lines this evening. The order
for the expulsion of the people will BE-
rigidly enforced throughout the De
partment.

Vallandigham the Traitor,

G. L. valIandigham. Copperhead
Member Of Congress from Ohio, was
arrested at his home at Dayton, Ohio,
on The 5th inst. by order of Gen. Burn
side, and taken to Cincinnati, where
he was placed in close confinement.
Aspecial train was sent from Cincin-
natl conveying $50 soldiers to make
the arrest. They arrived in Dayton
at three o'clock in the morning, and
although Valiandigham gave his pre-
viously arranged alarm by firing a
gun from his window and causing the
bells Of tho city to be rung, he was
carried off 80 promptly that the mob
for his rescue had not time to Assem-.
BILE in sufficient force. His Dayton
friends felt sore under their discomfi-
turc, and in the afternoon eve-
ry horse and buggy belong.
ing to the sympathizing gang were
occupied in ferrying in fresh recruits
to aid in setting the city on fire and
tearing down the State Prison, in or
der to make away with Brown, who
murdered Bollmeycr and the recent
editor of the Empire. Ateight o'clock
the mob gathered around the Journ-
al Republican, Office and fired at
least two hundred shots into the build
ing. Fortunately there was no one in
the Office when the firing commenced,
else, perhaps, there might have been
q severe loss Of life. At half past
eight O'Clock the building was set on
fire. and the flames spread rapidly to
adjoining buildings. causing great
destruction of property.
At half past nine the telegraph
wires were cut down and distractions
placed upon the railroad tracks run.
ming from Cincinnati and Columbus,
in order TO stop the passage of troops,
but all to no effect, for the troops ar
rived; lis men from Cincinnati and
100 from Columbus, which arrival i'm
mediately put q stop to all further dis.
aster.
The damage is variously estimated
at from $4,000 to 500. 900. and is to
be made good by levying a tax upon
the leading Copperheads. The riot.
ers arc also to be punished by being
sent to the penitentiary.
Gen. Burnside ordered the Dayton
Empire, Valandigham's organ, to
be suppressed and the editor arrested;
and the next day Vim. T. Logan, the
editor, was arrested at Philadelphia
and sent to Cincinnati, there to abide
the same fate with the chief conspira-
tor himself.
On the 9th inst, at Cincinnati, Val.
landigham was put on trial before
Court Martial, he refusing to plead
guilty to the charges preferred against
him. The charges are based on bis
late speech at Mt. Vernon. Ohio. The
Court martial sat all to day, and con-
cluded it's labors at eight o'clock in
the evening. Two Captains Of the
18th Ohio who were sent to Mt. Yer
non to report Vallandigham's speech.
were examined for the prosecution,
and Hon. Mr.. Cox for the accused. |
Mr.. Vallandigham read a brief protest,
denying the authority Of court mar
tial to try him, and holding that he
was answerablc only to the judicial
tribunals. This was closed for DELHI
Grafton, and after three hours discus
sion they agreed upon their decision,
which was submitted to Gen. Burnside
for his approval. What the decision
