"His Excellency, Z. B. Vance, "Governor of North Carolina, Raleigh: "I have been frequently called upon to mention the services of North Carolina soldiers in this army; but their gallantry and conduct were never more deserving of admiration than in the engagement at Reams's station on the 25th instant. "The brigades of Generals Cook, McRae and Lane, the last under the temporary command of General Conner, advanced through a thick abattis of felled trees under a heavy fire of musketry and artillery and carrie

Governor Vance's address to the people of North Carolina. The following is the patriotic address of Governor Vance to the people of North Carolina, which has been mentioned by telegraph: Fellow citizens,--The necessities of our country, as represented by our Confederate authorities, impels me again to appeal to your generosity. You are aware that, in consequence of interruption to our railroad communications by recent movements of the enemy, the subsistence of General Lee's army Governor Vance to the people of North Carolina, which has been mentioned by telegraph: Fellow citizens,--The necessities of our country, as represented by our Confederate authorities, impels me again to appeal to your generosity. You are aware that, in consequence of interruption to our railroad communications by recent movements of the enemy, the subsistence of General Lee's army has become greatly jeopardized. For at least a few months that army will have to-rely for subsistence upon North Carolina and Virginia alone. I am informed by the Commissary Department that the usual methods of collecting supplies will be insufficient for the purpose. In reference to this point, I need only cite the authority of General Lee himself, who writes as follows in regard to a similar appeal to the people of Virginia: "I cannot permit myself to doubt that the people will res
Governor Vance's address to the people of North Carolina. and damning was never seen before.--Mothers begged for the lives of their children. Fathers shouldered their offspring and swore like troopers. The crush was greatest at the carriage-way of the east wing. It is a wonder that nobody was killed there. Several ladies fainted and had to be carried off. The darkeys suffered most. Soldiers knocked negro women roughly about, and called them very uncomplimentary names. It seemed as if there was a reaction from the anti-slavery sentiments of the inaugural, and every negro boy got an extra push on account of his color.--There were no remarks about the ceremonies, for all were occupied in taking care of themselves and each other. Confusion worse confounded reigned supreme. The reception. At night there was a grand reception at the White House, where "Mrs. Lincoln stood near to Mr. Lincoln, acknowledging the courtesy of such of the passers-by as recognized her. She
every bushel of meal, which you with hold from your own army, is a certain contribution to the maintenance of that of the enemy. You have, therefore, to choose whether you will feed your sons, who are bleeding in our defence, or our ruthless enemy, who arms our slaves and lays waste our country. To show you, fellow-citizens, the earnest impression I have of the necessity of this action, and that I will call upon you to make no sacrifice which I will not share with you, I have tendered to the Commissary Department one-half of my entire year's supply, and expect to put my own family upon the limited rations allowed to our soldiers, regretting that I have so little to offer. That which is left me to subsist upon will be doubly sweet, because it will be the bread of honor and independence. Confidently relying upon the generosity and patriotism of a people to whom I have often appealed, and never appealed in vain, I am, fellow-citizens, Your obedient servant, Z. B. Vance.
