BRAusEaAsp.-This able General, in whom the
Southern people repose implicit confidence, we
rejoice to learn, has entirely recovered his health,
and has been assigned to the command of the
department of South. Carolina and Georgia. The
Wilmington Journal wishes he could come over
this way, l. g. to Wilmington, sometimes. If North
Carolina were added to his department, it would
no doubt be highly gratifying to our people. The
Journal wishes if that be not done, that General
Whiting be made Major General and assigned to
this command. We are satisfied with Gen. Hill, or
would be with any sober, discreet skillful General

The La.s Great victory ), ).

Auo ASUs0 0tO0L VlCeOfye =
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 it's result to Congress:
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the skill and
daring Of ha Commanding General and the vaor and hard
hood of the troops who executed the brilliant
whose result is now communicated After having driven
from their entertainments enemy superior In numbers
and relieved from seige the city Of Richmond ~ hsreto

army Of Gen. Mcclellan but by the fresh corpsof Generals
Burnside and Hunter
After forced marches with inadequate transportation.
and across streams swollen to unusual height by repeated
combats they turned the position Of the enemy and form
superior forces they fought the decisive battle of the so
the browning triumph Of their toll aud valor."
Immortal honor to the heroes of these bloody
feldsl 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 are 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 Fer
the last four or five weeks our forces have been dr
wing the enemy before them at all points. Virginia
Tennessee, and Kentucky have been greatly reliev-
ed of the presence of the foe The tide of fortune
is clearly in our favor and we have faith that the
tide will not change, but will continue to bear us
on to victory.
We repeat what wesad in late issue of the Stand
ard that peace cannot be far ahead The great pitched
battle to which we recently referred has been fought
and the victory is ours. 1. was fought sooner than
we expected, for we gave time than was neces-
sary, or than elapsed, for the movements and ma
noeuvering of the respective forces. It remains to
be seen whether the North will raise the six hum
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 u.s. then, take
courage The day-star of independence is already
above the horizon. Those who have toied, and
fought and suffered so much and SO long, will, we
verify believe, soon be gladdened by the sunshine
of peace.

Inauguration Of Gov. vancs.

On MONDAY last in pursuance of his election and
the ordinance of the Convention on the subject,
CoL zEBuIoN B. VANCE, of Buncombe, was inau-
gurated as Governor of this State, to serve until
the LIST day of January, 1855. 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 la
dies, who graced the occasion with their presence.
The osths 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 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 an able and eloquent docu-
ment and will meet the cordial approval of our
whole people It will ring like the tones of trum-
pet throughout the State, summoning our people
anew to the conflict in defence of their homes and
fresides
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 able-no public servant ever is-to
meet the expectations of all but he will bring to
the performance of his duties 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.
