North Carolina Notes.—Among the spoils left by the rebels at Hatteras Inlet, were a few North Carolina notes and shinplasters. Two of them have been sent to New York—one for $2 and the other for 25 cents, the former payable one year after date. They are printed with green ink on Manilla paper, and are very rudely executed. In the 25 cent note the word Carolina is spelt 'Carolna.' The style and execution of the notes indicate that the art of printing in North Carolina is about half a century behind what it is among their despised neighbors in the free States.
