Inausuration of GOV. Vance.


On Monday last in pursuance of his election and
the ordinance of the Convention on the subject,
Col. ZEBULoN B. VANCE, of Buncombe, was inau-
gurated as Governor Of this State, to serve until
the 1st day of January, 1866. The Inauguration
took place in front of the western portlco of the
Capitol, in the presence of some three to four thou
sand persons among whom were hundreds of Ia
dies who graced the occasion with their presence.
The oaths of Office were administered by Chief JUS
tice Pearson. We observed on the stand, with Gov.
Vance, Ex-Governors Clark, Swain, Morehead, and
Manly, and the Chief Justice, with his associate
Judges, Battle and Manly.
After the oaths of office had been administered,
Gov Vance rose and addressed the large assemblage
for more than half an hour being frequently greet
ed with the most enthusiastic applause. We have
the pleasure of laying his Inaugural Address before
our readers to-day 1t is able and eloquent docu-
ment and will meet the cordial approval of our
whole people. 1t will ring like the tones Of trum-
pet throughout the State, summoning our people
anew to the conflict in defence of their homes ard
iresides.
Gov. Vance enters upon his duties at an eventful
and critical period in our history. We have every
confidence in his integrity, ability, and judgment.
He will not be abe-no public servant ever is-to
meet the expectations of all but he will bring to
the performance of his duties a clear head and an
honest heart and determination to serve the peo-
pie, who have so honored him, with fidelity and
zeal He has advanced no new views or sentiments
in his Inaugural. They are such as have governed
him from the very beginning of this struggle. He
was voted for and elected with the knowledge on
the part of those who sustained him at the polls,
that these were his views and sentiments. Let
every true man stand by him, and cheer him, and
hold up his hands, in the performance of the ardu
Gus and most responsible duties imposed on him as
our Chief Magistrate.
The regimental band of the 26th was presen: by
invitation, and discoursed excellent music on the
occasion.

The Lars Great Yictarx.

At the time of writing this we are still without
the details of the great victory achieved by our
troops near Manassas. But the story Is told, in
BRIEF in the following extract from the message Of
President Davis communicating the intelligence Of
the conflict and its result to Congress:
"Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the skill and
daring Of the Commanding General and the vsor and hard
ihood Of the troops who executed the brilliant movements
whose result is communicated. After having driven
and relieved from sege the city of Richmond hereto
fore communicated toll troops advanced TO meet
another invading army reinforced not only BY the defeated
army OF Gen. but BY the fresh corps OF Generals
Burnside and Hunter.
After forced marches with inadequate transportation.
and streams swollen unusual height by repeated
combats they turned the position of the enemy
lug junction of their columns the face Of the greatly
superior rces they fought the decisive battle OF the Soh
the crowning triumph of their toll and valor."
Immortal honor to the heroes of these bloody
6eldsl No troops have ever shown more fortitude,
or endurance, or courage than those of the Confed
crate States; and foremost in the roll of those who
will shine gloriously in history the forces which
repelled Mcclellan from Richmond and afterwards
met him again, and Pope, and Burnside and within
sound of the federal capital, achieved the crowning
triumph of the war. During the last thirteen months
the Confederate forces have defeated their enc
mics in five pitched battles, to wit Bull Run, Ma
nassas, Shiloh, Richmond, and Manassas. Five
great federal armies have been destroyed. This
does not include, of course, number of battles in
which smaller numbers were engaged, but the re-
suits of which shed lasting honor on our arms. For
the last four five weeks our forces have been dri
wing the enemy before them at all points. Virginia,
Tennessee, and Kentucky have been greatly relev-
ed Of the presence of the foe The tide of fortune
is clearly in favor and we have faith that the
tide will not change, but will continue to bear US
on to victory.
We repeat what we said in late issue of the Stand
ard that peace cannot be far ahead The great pitched
battle to which recently referred has been fought
and the victory is ours 1: was fought sooner than
we expected, for we gave more time than neces-
sary, or than elapsed, for the movements and ma
noeuvering of the respective forces. 1t remains to
be seen whether the North will raise the six hun
dred thousand men called for by Lincoln. We do
not believe it will but if it should they will not be
able to Withstand the enthusiastic charges of our
veteran and victorious troops. Let US, then, take
courage The day-star of independence is already
above the horizon. Those who have toiled, and
fought and suffered so much and so long, will, we
verify believe, soon be gladdened by the sunshine

TIE IRON CLAD STEAMERs.-The rumor that Capt
R. Semms had arrived at the mouth Of the Mississ-
ppi with six iron or steel clad steamers turns out
as we expected, to have no foundation. Had the
government listened to wise counsels at an early
day, it might have been true. The Richmond Whig
says:
"The least modicum Of management and enterprise
would have enabled the Government possess itself of
that would only have made impregnabe
cities at our mercy How different would have been our
condition and experience if this had been done What
suffering and shame, what loss and destruction how many
thousands Of lives how many millions of property might
have been saved, if this poll had been pursued 7"
