Col. Vance not a Partizan.

If there be in the State a genial, estimable, aid
ingenious man, that man is Col z. B VANCE
There is, perhaps no one more decided in his char
acter than he is His principles and postiops are
coolfy and thoroughly weighed and, when once
chosen, ne is as firm as a rock But be is neither
dlctatorial nor overbearing towards his opponents
NO partlzan rancor or abuse escapes his ps If
forced to retort on an assailant he uses some apt
anecdote or pleasant repartee, which exhibits the
genial temper of the man.
Since the war begun, he has known no party
We are confident that nothing could have induced
him to be the candidate of a party. Nothing but
the unsolicited voice of the people, declaring their
opposition to party, and calling for reform in our
State administration could have called him forth at
this crisis. The slang of the spoils party, that he

sell as toofto party as false as it is ungener-
Gus and unjust He was first called out by the peo-
pie OF rutherford, who know him well; and never,
until the people Of eight or nine Counties, and great
numbers OF the people in all parts of the State called
for him, did he consent to the use of his name.
The abuse and falsehood of the partizan press of
the State, now hcaped on Col. Vance, is a melan-
choly proof of the degeneracy of the times In vain
does he disclaim party in his letter, and warn his
countrymen against it in this trying crisis; in vain
does he peril his life on the field of battle in defence
of the homes and fresides of his revilers-they still
pursue him with ferocity which can see nothing
in him to commend or admire, and which, for part-
Fan purposes, would destroy his fair fame SOL
der and Southern man. But the people of the State
will sustain and vindcate him. While he is fight.
ing at Richmond, they will talk for him and vote
for him at home. And the soldiers, too, will vote
for him. They know he is their friend, and that
he is no parti=an and they will stand by him, not
only in battle, but at the ballot-box.

The ValOr of our TrOOpS.

All the accounts We have seen concur in repre-
sentng the courage of our troops in the conflict
near Richmond, unsurpassed in the history of
the world. Many of the regiments have had no
pay for months, and all Of them are scantily cloth
ed and have been living on half rations for some
time; but these prvatlons seem only to have nerv-
ed them to more determined and desperate valor.
We hear that the North Carolinans have especially
distinguished themselves The language general
ly used by V'rginians even, in speaking of their
conduct, is that they have immortalized them
selves"
The people of the South can never be sufficiently
grateful to the brave who are thus barring their
breasts to the fury of our foes. They will live in
speech and in song and in the hearts of their coun.
trymen and their children and childrens children,
while enjoying the fruits of their sacrifices and their
valor, will be proud of their fame.

Foreign Intervention.

There seems to be some reason to justify the re-
cent rumors that France and England had deter
mined upon an armed Intervention in the affairs of
the Lincoln government and the Southern Conted-
eracy. The latest European intelligence appears to
remove all doubt in the North upon this subject,
and the English and French governments are abused
most roundly. We presume that preparatory
step to Intervention will be the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy. Whatever may be the de-
signs of European powers in this matter, no one
beyond the immediate privacy Of the governments
can know. The terms to be proposed, therefore,
are matters of speculation.
Such prospect may stimulate the hopes OF the
South, but l. should by no means influence us to
relax our efforts to beat back the North single
handed. and drive its hordes from our soil.

WHAT MAKES THE BEST SoLDlERs.-A captain in
the army in arguing with an intide officer who was
making various objections to the religious influences
which were brought to bear upon the army, said:
II am not Christian myself, but will say that
the best men in my company are the church mem

For this reason | would rather that my men should
have religious reading above all other kinds for it
tends to make them better soldiers"
Let us hasten, then, to give all the men such
reading.
