Arrest of traitors.

--We understand, says the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, of Tuesday, that information has been received in Newbern, and believed there to be reliable, that Major E. D. Hall, of the 7th Regiment N. C. State troops, who is stationed in Hyde county, has captured some twelve native traitors, who had gone over to the banks and taken the oath, and had returned to the mainland to act as Lincolnites spies and rics. On their persons were found documents addressed to the authorities and people of Newbern, Washington, and other towns, requesting them to offer no opposition to the advance of the Federal troop into the interior of the State; promising that if no opposition was offered by them, they would not be molested. The men have been detained in custody, and the documents forwarded to headquarters.
