Josiah Turner, Jr., of North Carolina, who dared Governor Holden to arrest him, and who was arrested, has finally been released on a writ of habeas corpus, and is going home to a grand reception that awaits him, and will probably be running for Governor at the next election. Turner wrote a note to the Governor before his arrest so strongly insulting and abusive that a similar one written by any gentleman in New York State to the Governor would have caused his arrest on the spot and a long incarceration beside, and he would never have run for Governor either.—New York Herald.
