Yankke NoTicKg OF Nobth Carolina.—We have been expecting to teo tne rejoicing of the ene my over the uourse of certain member* of oar Le gislttture; but it is seldom that we eee a paper from the United States, and the Virginia papers, which do see them, seldom copy their articles; bo we kave u3 yet met with ouly one yankee response to the rcsolulions of Mr. Sharpe, a member from Iredell Doubtleas otK*r papers throngbuut the whol« of >»nkeeland nere aa much pleased and encouraged by his resMutioDB as the New York Herald, from wh ch we copy below a portion of a long article. It may not so appear to Mr Sharpe, or other members who have ottered resolutions and delivered speeches brsathing h( stility to our cause alone and not to Lincoln or the United States, but we think the peo ple who may take the trouble to reflect upon the •ubject cannot but see that all their resolutions and speeches bare a direct tendency to encourage the enemy. It cannot be doubted that the war has been prolonged, the Confederate arm weakened and the yankee arm strengthened, the cause of independence ubstructed and tne possibility of subjugationimprsss- cd upon the yankee mind, by the movements of a tew men who, under a profesaion of a desire for peace which they cannot feel more than every one •lie, are‘poisoning the public mind at heme and tieiping Liacfltin abroad. Tbe foilowiag are extracts from the Herald’s ar ticle;— •North CaroliuK U upon the verge of a revolt against the ao called “Ooufederate sJtates OK)vernuient.'’ Ua the leiii lust, there waa a signiticaut vote in her Legisla ture uu the rtsvolutiouary usua of State rights. Mr Sliarpe, in the House ot Comiuous, iotroduced cerUin lesulutioGs ileclaring •that bUte sovereignty is the priu- on which Norla Carolina and otiier States with drew from the Uui^ feUtes govtjrumeat, aud therelore tue States Comprising the doutfcern Comedcracy are sovereign, and the Coufoderale governmeat ia «nly th»* agent ol the States, and subject to their control;” and de claring “further that ihe States in their sovereign ctkpa- city, have the right to take up the question of peace or war, and settle it without consultation with the Fresi- don’, of the Southern or ol the so called United States.” ‘ Theae resolutions, wliich, if adopted as the voice of the ^orth Curolina Legislature, would have been equiva- leiil at this juuctui-e to the secession of North Carolina trouj Jed i-»avis, aud the immediate collapse of the whole ooticern, were laiil o > the table by close votes of fifty- two to tifty. Within the u-xt .ten days, from the con viucing arguments of Graui, Sherman, Thomas, 13utler !iud Porter, those resolutions may be taken up again and passed by both liou^es of said Legislature, with amend ments declaring that the time has arrived lor the exer cise by North^Carolina of her “sovereign” powers of peace or war, and that a Iwdy of commissioners be according ly appointed to confer with the other ‘‘sovereign” States ot tne ‘‘confederacy' in behalf of some arrangements for (.eace, regarUladS of tne so-calied Confederate govern ment at It will be seen tUat the main point of the r«B©lution%>«hich lacked only two votee of suc- cofe« icadajM ago, was the repudiation of Jeff Da via in taking up.toB qmitlun of peace or war. • Jcii. is in UHipintut dinger of bjing overthrown,super- .•e ea and set aside as tae great atumoliHg block to ihe rtbellioue in the maiter of an early reitoration 'jf peaC'-. ’ * ’ l^ing Jclf. is in a deplorable condition, and suvfounded with hostiW combintitions in hie own Uousshold not leas alarming than the destructive com- binaiioas ot Geu- Grint. Within a few weeks, or a few day*, this revolatiou may become a chapter of history, aud lUttii we may anticipate an easy settlemoat in Kebel- domof ihe-qaeitiou ot consiiiatiouai jurisdiction over the important oubject ol a treaty ot pea^e. ” CONFKDEaATE TaXK3 CoLI^SCTBD IN THIS COUMTY. —Robert W. Hardie, Eaq., Ooafederate Tax Col lector for this county, has handed us the following statement, in compliance with our request:— ••The amount of Coatt-deiate Taxes collected in Cum berland county ia is from the follew- ing sources, vtz: Sp«oitiu lax, (OB Liioeao*,) $ ie.2:iO 00 Tax on Sales, *27,33j 3fi Tax on Incomes aad Profits, Sol,:^21 5ti Additional Tax on Protita (10 per oeat.,) 40 30 per cent, additional fax on Profits, 44,3Is So Tas on Property, 40^,850 V3 Arrears for 18t»3, 676 11 Tax to pay Soldiere, 137,a70 7D $1,408,826 02 There are in the county l,u26 ta.\ payers, exclusive of exempts; ot that number ail have paid their taxes except ril, of wnom t) are noa-residents, 23 are in the army, 12 iu-e femaies or minors who are dependent on their friends in the army to pay tneir taxis, aud 10 are at home aud have fiilrid to pay. ‘•The spicie value of Taxable property not employed in farming, exclusive of property of exempts, amounts to $7,608,275 40. ••There are in the county 521 Farmers, exclu«ive cf exempts. Value of property employed in farming $1, '665,318. ••The above will show that the taxes have been promptly paid; aud they have been as cheerfully as they were prompt.y paid by the al-vays loyal citizens tt Cumber land county. The Collector and Assessors have at all times been met at their appointments with promptneie, and at the same time with a kindness that cauaot be sur passed in any other county in the St-ite. In all the visits we have been called upon to make to all parts of the county, we have never yet found any one ttiat would take pay from us, either for ourselves or our horaes. ••The general expression of tax payers has been that the taxes are high, bat we are willing to pay whatever tne Government may require. ••If there is any Collector in the State that can m'lke a better snowing for his Uistrict than the above, 1 would like to hear from him." And we add to the above, that it there 13 any Collector, in the State or eut of It, who better under stands his duties and performs them with more com plete BatisfactioQ to the tax payers as well as to the government, we would like to hear of him. The Statement of Mr. ilardie is in every way re markable. That this county paid last year into the Confederate Treasury nearly a million and a half of dollars of direct taxes, would indicate that the whole State must have paid perhaps some fifty mil lions of dollars. And this ia scarcely equal, w« gnppose, to the indirect taxe8, if we may so call them of tithes and impressments, to say nothing of State county and to^rn taxes. Yet so little has this enor mous amount affected the public, that, iwelt-e thon sand dollars can be given for a negro, and from one thousand to ten or twenty thousand d->]lars for years’rent of a dwelling hou«e. Th** t’-uth is that people generally have so much money that they don’t know what to do with it. There are few or no foreign goods or loxuriftB to be bought, and 80 they buy lands and nejr.oes at fibulous prices Fa better would it be if they would support their gov ernment by buying some of its bonds—its 6 per cent, bonds, for instance, on which there will be no tax upon either principal or interest.

CoMPLiiuuiTAKT.—(itoT. Vanos hasiisaad, through Adj’t Gen. Gatlin, a Special Order “tendering his thanks and the thanks of the State to tbe^roops en gaged in the recent operations ag»inst the public enemy in Eastern North Carolina, for their gallant and good condact on several occasions—and espe ciallj to Brig. Gen C. Levqnthorpe, commanding, »nd Col. J. N. Whitford, 67th N. C. Troops, whose conduct meets with particular approbation. With su(A officers, and such men as they command, the State may justly hope to protect her borders against invasion.'’ Tub Homi Gdakd.—Another Bpeeial Order oor- dially thanks the Guard for Home Dsfeace, “for their prompt response to the call of the Governor, and their valuable services in ihe Field during the recent attack upon the State by the public enemy. By similar promptness and patriotism our p'ople may be protected, and the Guard kept from their homes as little as possible.” The Guard is acoord- ingly disbanded. - — — How THiNos ABB DONS IN THB Abmt.—We have heard of an incident which illustrates the gallantry and devotion of one of our North Carolina officers in Lee’s Army—& type of the whole. It happened sometime ago—we heed not say when—that it was desirable to get information as to eome movement or supposed movement of the enem''. Aceordingly, abont 10 o’clock of one dark, cold, rainy night, a cou rier broQght to a Brigade Head Qaarters an order to capture one or two yankees from their picket line, with a view to pnmping the desired information out of them. Major Wooten, commander of the sharp- shooters of the Brigade (firom Columbns county, N. C.) was sent'for, arrived about midnight, and en- trasted with the order. He remarked that he did not see how he was to go about it, 'as the moon would be np by the time he conld retarn to the skir mish line. After some thought the perplexed look disappeared from the Major’s countenance and he quietly remarked, “Very well! I’ll catch one or two - I remember a ravine on the line that’s too deep for the moon.” So he splashed his way back to his sharpshooters,*charged the yankees, and brought in, before day, a dozen fat ones, without losing a man. Savannah.—^The telegnams this morning furnish a foretaste of th^ tender mercies of the yankees to a conquered city. “Churches and places of araune- mert”—[Sherman does not quite say other places of amusement j—are graciously “allowed.” A grand firemen’s parade forms a Sunday amusement. Two newspapers are allowed, but they are not allowed to comment on the doings of the authorities—“the play of Hamlet with the part of Hamlet omitted.” And such of the people as will not forswear and disgrace themselves by taking a horrible oath are to be driven from their bonnes and robbed of their property. Such are the orders of a government to which a firee peo ple are invited, or rather commanded, to return. May God forbid! The Blairs.—It will have been seen that Francis P. Blair and his son Montgomery had left Washing ton for Slichmond, on what was said to be a peace mission. But they were turned back by Grant, who would not allow them to nass his lines without an order from Lincoln or his Secretary of War. If Grant had allowed them to pass, it is likely that Lee would have sent thom back, since they had no au thority from their government, ft was but another Jacques and Gilmore attempt at hombagging as and getting information for usd at the North. By the way, the New York Tribune “regrets that tiie Messrs. Blair had not proceeded, or offered to proceed, direct to Raleigh instead o' Richmond.” WiuU fort Tkis is giving Raleigh rather an maen- viable prominence. A Bcdoit of B^cndbbs.—Tne Richmond corres pondent of the Charleston Mercary, under date of Dec. 30th, says:— It is remarked that the North Carolina members, Senators and Representatives, are all absent from Congress, and the North Carolina Legislatare is in session. Tne detention at home of these gentlemen may be accidental, but nervous people discover some thing ominous in it.” It would not be easy to imagine more, and more ill natured, blunders in the same space than the above. Some, not all, of the North Carolina mem bers availed themselves of the several days’ adjoam- ment for Christmas, with the nnderstanding that it would be extended till after New Year’s day, to visit their homes, as a number of other members of Con gress did. The North Carolina Legislature was not in sesBion, and had not been for nearly a week. We hope the correspondent’s nerves may be set right by tiiis contradiction of his fancies. Fost Fishbr.—The Wilmington Joorn^l has a long account of a visit on Wednesday last of Ladies, gentlemen and officers, including Gan. Bragg, to Fort Fisher, tde Ladies of the Soldiers’ Aid Society bearing the materials for a feast to the garrison. The presentation speech on behalf of th3 Ladies w»s made by Maj. Robt.

On Sunday last the bulkhead of tbe Dntcb Gap Canal, north side, was blown oat, but a large mass of earth having fallen back it will be necessary to clear out the canal before tha work can be used. A dispatch from Decatur, Nertb Alabama, says that Gen. Stedman with a considerable cavalry lerce has crossed the Tennessee in pursuit ef Hooa, who is rapidly retreatiig.

They were repulsed on the right with heavy loss, but towards evening drove in his infantry outposts on the left flank. E^rly on the morning of the 16th, tbe enemy, he says, made a general attack on his entire line. A11 their assaults were repulsed with heavy loss, until at 3^ P. M. a portioB of our line left of tbe centre sud denly gave way, causing our lines to give way^at all po'nts. Om* troops retreating rapidly, 50 pieces ot artillery and several ordnance wagons were left. On this day our lossia killed and wounded; as heretofore, was small; in prisoners, not ascertained. Maj. Glen. Edw’d Johnson and Brig. Gens. L. B. Smith and H. R. Jackson were capfbred. All'tiudet at Pttersburg—PBTiRSByaa, Jan. 6.— All is quiet.

C., | Wilmington, Dec. 29 th, 1864. { Gknbkal Orusbs, No. 17.—The Gommauding General desireh to congratulate the OBiceia and men engaged in the recent operations near this place on their suucessl^l termination. One of the most formidable expeditions yet organized by the enemy—an imposing force of veter an troops supported by a tleet_carrying ,over 500 guns, has accompil^ed no other object than a froitlees landing on a barren coast, folio'.ved in 48 hours by a hasty re-em barkation. This auspicious result is due, under a merciful Provi dence, to the skill of Major General Whiting, who plan ned the defences at the mouth of the Cape Fear, to tbe gallantry and endurance oi Oolonel Lamb and the brave garrison, of Fort Fisher under his immediate command, worthily seconded by Lieut. Chapman of the Navy and his devoted seamen serving Battery Buchanan, and the steady coolness with which Brigadier Goneral Kirkland, with a part of his brigade, checked the advance of vastly superior numbers of tne enemy. Thus another gigantic effort of a powerful enemy has come to naught, but not without afibrding us profitable lessons! The Bucoessful defence of Fort ^her, against one of the most formidable Naval armaments of modern times, proves that the superiority of land batter.es over ships of wai, at one time threatened by the improve- meats in artillery and ship armor, hss been re-establish ed by the genius of the Engineer; and the weaker party on tue defensive may still defy the greater numbers and mechanical resources of an arrogant invader. Let us hope that the check, which the enemy has received at the meuth of the Oape Fear, may prove tne harbinger of a renewed series of Oonfoderate victories* By order of Oen’i B&aoo: AUCHBE ANDERSON, A A.

We presume the statement is correct. One of the greatest naval expeditions of modem t mes thus reaches a miserable conclusion.” Per contra, the Baltimore American says: “That the attack has been given up for any length of time we cannot believe, i'he latest adviws received from Admiral Porter represent him a^ still subiecting Fort Fisher to a vigorons bombardment.” ° The yankee Roanoke Expaditio'^.—'Vtis, as is already iinown, was a failure.
