FALSE STATEMENT CoRREcTEB-An intelligent and
truthful friend, writing US from Wilkes County,
says:
The story about the deserters taking possession
Of box in this County and voting 100 ballots for
you, is false, and should be denied instantly. I
have no doubt if the matter could be investigated,
that it would appear that your opponent received
many Illegal votes in this County as you did"
There is no doubt that our opponent received
thousands Of illegal votes both at home and in the
army. We have information in our possession,
which abundantly justi6es the statement In addi-
ton to this he received thousands of legal votes
cast by persons in the hope that by so voting they
would keep themselves out of camp as conscripts.
Every detailed man and every soldier was free to
vote he pleased, but the distinct understanding
was, as general rule, that if he did not vote for
Gov. Vance he would be punished This was the
understanding in France when the Bonapartes were
elected Emperors, Armed troops were present at
the polls in France, as they were at hundreds of
precincts in this State at the late election overaw.

PROCLAMATION BY THE GovERNoR..-It will be
seen by the Proclamation of Gov. Vance, in our
paper to-day, that that functionary, responding to
the late appeal of Gen. Lee to deserters and to the
general public wish as expressed in the newspapers
of the State has issued urgent call to deserters
and absentees from the army to return to their
posts, and has enjoinedrit as duty on the entire
body of the militia to exercise the utmost vigilance
in ridding the State of deserters. We trust this
call will be needed. We think it more than proba-
BILE that majority of the deserters lurking in this
State soldiers from other States who have made
North Carolina sort of halfway house between
Virginia and their homes ; and it is due to the char
acter Of the State to the Confederate service and
to m>ny Of our citizens who have been injured by
these deserters from other States as well as from
our own State, that they should be banished from
our midst and returned to their duty. Let those of
citizens who belong to the militia home guard
and who have been thus far exempted from active
service in the Confederate army in consideration of
the important duties they are expected to perform
at home, at once respond to this order of the Gov
ernor and execute it faithfully, and the evil com.
planned Of will soon cease to exist.

The story got up against General
Meade that he had ordered our army
to retreat at Gettysburg is no doubt
false. We advise our readers to place
no confidence in the statements of
correspondents of the city papers,
nine out of ten of whom ought to be
in Fort Lafayette for their lying stor-
les sent in letters or in telegraphic
dispatches.
The attempt to disparage the col
ored troops in the recent fight in Flor
ida has signally failed. Instead of the
three colored regiments flying from
the field, they inflicted tremendous
losses on the rebels, and without doubt
saved Seymour's army from capture.
There is reason to believe that he
made this ilI-starred movement con-
trary to orders; and what is not lit
tie remarkable, such tory sheets like
the Harrisburg Patriot and Union ac-
tually defend him
