The North Carolina State blockade running.

--The State Quartermaster of North Carolina has recently published an official statement, showing the result of Gov. Vance's scheme, by which the North Carolina troops have been clothed, and a vast amount, even millions, made a clear gain to the State. The sum of the statements seems to be about this: The State appropriated, at capital for conducting these operations $2,324,000. With this the clothing &c., &c., have been purchased, and the sales have realized a clear profit to the State of $6,771,678.99; of which £47,249,184 sterling in the principal part. That is, £47,249 are equal to $295,245, and that in England, at 20 for 1, amounts to $4,734,890 in currency.
