Whereas, I have learned with great pain that there have been latterly numerous desertions from the ranks, of our gallant army, and that' there are many person in the country who incite and encourage these deser tions and harbor and conceal these misguided men at home, instead of encouraging them to return to duty: Now, therefore. I, Zkbclon B. Vance, Governor of the State of North' Carolina, do issue this my procla mation commanding all such evil disposed persons to desist from such base, cowardly and treasonable con duct, and warning them that tbey will subject them selves to indictment and punishment in the-rivil courts of the Confederacy as well, as to the everlasting con tempt and detestation of all good and honorable irien; Certainly no crime could be greater, no cowardice more abject, no treason more base, than for a eitizen of the State, eiyoying its privileges and protection without sharing its dangers, to persuade those who have had the courage to go forth in defense of their country, vilely to desert the colors which they have sworn to uphold, when a miserable death or a vile, gkulking an,d ignotninous existence must be the inevi table consequences: no plea can excuse it. The father or the brother who does, it should be shot instead of his deluded victim, for he deliberately destroys the ioul and manhood of his own flesh and blood. And the i same is done by cim who naroors ajia conceals the deserter. For who respects either the one or the other? What honest man will ever wish to permit his own brave sous or patriotic daughters, who bore their parts with credit in this great struggle for independence, to associate, even to the third and fourth generations, with the vile wretch who skulked m the woods, or the still viler coward who aided him, while bis bleeding country is calling in vain for his help? Both are ene mies; sneaking, mean enemies to their country, before whom our open foes will be infinitely preferred. Both are foes to their own kindred and noble countrymen who arc electrifying the world by their gallant deeds, mid pouring out their blood upon the held of battle to protect those very men who are sapping the vitais of our strength. And woe unto.yon, deserters, and your aiders and abettors, when peace being made and inde pendence secured these brave comrades who have de serted in the hour of their trial shall return honored and triumphant to their "homes! Ye that hide your guilty faces by day, and prowl like outlaws about by night, robbing the wife and mother of your noble de fenders of their little means, while they are facing the enemy; do you think ye can escape a just and damning vengeance when the da of reckoning comes? And ye that shelter, conceal, and feed these miserable depreda tors and stimulate them to their infernal deeds, think you that ye will be Epared? Nay! rest assured, observ ing and never failing eyes have marked you, every one. And when the overjoyed wife welcomes once more her brave and honorable husband to . his home, and tells him how in the long year3 of his absence, in the lonely hours of the right, you who had been bis comrades rudely entered her house, robbed her and her children of their bread and heaped insnlt and indignities upon her defenceless head, the wrath of that heroic husband will make you regret in the bitterness of your coward ly terror that vou were ever born. Instead of a few scattered militia, the land will be full of veteran sol dier?, before whose honest. faces you will not have courage to raise your eyes from the earth. If permit ted to live iu the State at all you will be inamous. You will be hustled from the polls, kicked in the streets, an honest jury will not believe you on oath nnd honest men everywhere will shun you as pestil ence, for he who lacks courage and patriotism can have no other good quality or redeeming virtue. Though ma ny of you rejected the pardon heretofore offered you, and I am not authorized to promise it, yet I am assur ed that no man will be shot who shall voluntarily re turn to duty. Thi3 is, the only chance to redeem your selves from the disgrace and ignominy which you are incurring. Again onr troops have met the enemy and a great and glorious. victory has been won. But sereral thou sand of our soldiers fell in achieving it for us. Every man is needed to replace the gallant' dead,' and pre serve an unbroken front to our still powerful eneni-. Unless desertion is prevented our strength must de part from our armies, and desertion can never be stop ped while either through a false and mistaken sympa thy or downright disloyalty, they receive any counten nace or protection at home. . I therefore appeal to all good citizens and true patriots in the State to assist my officers in arresting deserters, and to frown down all those who aid nnd assist them. Place- the brand upon them and make them feel the scorn and contempt of an outraged people. Unless the good and the pa triotic all over the land arise as one man to arrest this dangerous evil, it will'grow until oiiarniy is well nigh' ruined. Ihe' dinger of starvation having happily passed away the approaching and apparently boun-i teous harvest giving evidence. of ample supplies for the coming year onr greafarmy in Virginia again jubil ant over a mighty victory I anv well assured that our danger lies in the disorganization produced by deser-. tion. You can arrest it my countrymen, if you will but make ' vigorous effort, if you will but bring to bear the weight of a greata patriotic and united com munity in aid of our authorities.

We do not think Gen. Smith is deserving of much praise, for he got mad and resigned his com mission "in the army on account of some, little difficulty with the President. No man is justified in quitting the army because he is not promoted or placed in commands to please hiin.

These works were on a hill commanded by the Chancellorsville hill, which was fortified with a line of earth works for 28 pieces of artillery, running nearly parallel to our position, and between 4 and 500 yards distant, with a stream of water intervening. As soon as we had dislodged their infantry, these guns with other opened ii murderous fire of shell, 'grape and canister upon us. A fresh column of their infan try was thrown against us, and with our right flank completely turned, we were forced to fall back with the loss of about omj-third of the command .

C., twenty miles from Cal houn the Court Honse Town, and near a Lranch of the lowee or Nohchuckoe River, called Elk Creek, that rises in the Yellow mountains, and about two miles and a half fromthc Tennessee line;, on Pearce's Map. near the corner of Yancey aud Watauga Counties,nd opposite Carter County, Tennessee. The Cranberry lion has been proved by the experience of those who have tried it, to be as pure and good a metal' as any yet discovered in any part of the world. By Dr. Emmons' analysis, the ore from which it is obtained contains 09 per cent, of pure oxide of iron, and it is styled by geologists the magnetic iron ore. Ihe two veins that have been already worked, are in the out crop, fcmr feet each in width; and in such cases will probably widen as they descend. The lode may be said to be inexhaustible, and is now worked by company; one oi the company,- (Mr Carter) acting as superintendent. We have seen speci mens of the. ore, recently brought ironi there, by Dr. Emmons, State Geologist, and the maleable iron made from it. One specimen was hammered when cold to the shape of a flattened S, and in the sharp curves it remained .perfectly smooth, and without the slightest appearance ot transverse t r l i ri'i cracks or iractures oi any xinu. nis iron is peculiary adapted for " "small work" of various sorts, such as cutlery, telegraphic mrefetc. etc , and for "large work" there is probably no iron yet used by the trade which would equal it, where sudden and powerful strains must be resisted, as in boiler plate, cables, &c, and in fire arms or ordnance of large calibre. This Cranberry iron has been thoroughly tested as to welding, requiring only half the quantity of borax to weld it to cast steel free from any defects or flaws. There are two bloomeries now at work, and tho company intends to erect others in a short time. The' have always been able to sell the iron at the highest market price, and blacksmith prefer it to any other iron for hobnails- The demand cannot as yet be any thing like supplied even in the im mediate neighborhood. Raleigh Standard. RAMSETJR'S BRIGADE. A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer, over the signature of "A Virginian " corrects the statement made in that paper just after the late battles, that D. H. Hill's old division (which acted so gallantly) was composed of Virginia and Mary land troops. Tho division is composed of two North Carolina brigades, one Georgia and one Alabama brigade. Of the conduct of one of the N. C. brigades "A Virginian" says : ''Of the conduct of the whole division in the late battles, I have heard naught but praise, and I will mention the part borne by a single North Ca rolina brigade as an evidence of what the brave sons of' that noble old State have done. I men tion this brigade particularly, because it is the only one of whose conduct I was in a great mea sure an eye-witness, and tberelore am couliJent of the truth .of what I report. Gen. Ramseur's bri gade went into action on Sunday morning with something over 1400 mcti, and assisted some of the other brigades of the division in attacking the -enemy and driving them from their entrenchments. The conflict lasted hei'e sonic two hours or more and wa"s most terribly severe. Any one who has seen this portion of the battle ground nvtiat be stiuck with the tremendous advantage the enemy had in position. They fought behind breastworks formed of layers of timber, filled in with earth. The ground for a considerable distance in front of them covered with timber forming an almost im penetrable abattis. . It is really wonderful that tliey could ever have been dislodged and driven out, but they "were. The brave North Carofinians advanced steadily under a most galling fire of musketry and artillery, surmounted all obstacles in front of the breastworks of the enemy, and com pelling. them, to flee iu rout and disorder, leaped over their parapets and stood ip their strongholds. Now came a Dause: of the 1400 composing this - a,.-' gallapt brigade, eight hundred and four had fallen fallen upon the field." Ramseur's brigade is composed of tho 2d, 4th, 14th and 30th N. C. Regiments. citizen oi the L nited Slates and of the State of Ohio, a Government and a State at war with the Confederacy. The .Confederacy Unengaged in carrying on a war for the assertion and maintaln ance of its owli separate and independent existence, and Mr Vallandigham, pending the proceedings which have resulted iu his . condemnation by military authority, has distinctly and emphatically stated that under no circumstances conld he ever consent to a disruption of the Federal Union. In plain terms, he takes uumistakeable ground against the position to which the Confederacy is irrevoc ably pledged and committed. Thus in efftct and in substance Mr Vallandigham occupies towards U3 the position of an alien and an enemy, and if sent here, would rilit of course come voluntarily to J cast his lot with us. On the contrary, instead of coming here as a matter of choice, he would eomo as an involuntary exile. His sojourn would be a punishment inflicted upon him by Abraham Lincoln, who would thui presume 'to use the Confederacy as a penal colony to which he would deport those of bis citizens or subiects who mitrht be so unfortunate as to ineur his arbitrary dis- pleasure or that ot his minions and agents. That the Confederacy could consent to occupy any such position no one, wo think, would assert or contend. We are not going to occupy the position of Mr Lincolu's jailors, nor is o,ur territory to be made a Botany Bay for his use or convenience. But. apart from all that, no one could doubt the object of Mr Lincoln in sending or ordering Mr Vallandigham to be sent South. Vallandigham is an able and prominent politician the head oi an Anti-Republican movement in the North West. He is a leading and popular candidate on the anti-Administration ticket for the position' of Governor of the State of Ohio. Who can fail to see the insidious character of the course which Lincoln proposes to pursue towards him ? Let Vallandigham be sent South and cordially received by the South, and his influence in "Ohio would be destroyed. He would bea marked man, branded as a traitor and the asociate of traitors as a man in league with the public enemy, as the Confederates are called at the North. This would be Lincoln's object. Tho scheme would bea cunning one, and would likely be crowned with a full measure of success. . On any account or in any way, we think that policy as well as principle would forbid us allowing Mr Vallandigham, us a Lincoln convict, to enter our lines, or remain among our people. It would be ruinous to him; it would be contrary to our feelings of self-respect; it would be a concession to Lincoln of the most humiliating kind, one to which wc could not accede. If Mr Vallandigham had come freely and of his own accord to cast his fate with tho Confederacy, the case would be different, and no ono would 'extend to him a heartier welcome than we would, but this is not the case.. Upon the whole, however, his disposition is doubtful in the extreme. -He- will more prob ably find his way to Fort Warren or to Fort Lafayette. Wilmington Journal. We see it announced that Vallandigham has been brought to near our lines in Tennessee and set free.

The spirited and sensible damsel winds up her letter with verse : "The ring is round that has no end, So is my love for you, dear friend!" Another merely enjoins her lover to "come homo 1 as soon as possible," and tbeo abandons herself to verse; such as 'ure as the vine grows.round the stump, You are my sweet sugar lump V and ending with "My pen U bl,jnj ink is pale, 31y love to you can never fail !" , Can our Confederate girls come up to that? s WHO ARE YOUf . The celebrated ami eccentric J)can Swift was very much opposed to extravagance in dress. He particularly disliked to see persons try to ape the dress of others. . The following instance is givcu of the way in which be reproved this folly hi a pcrnon whom he really esteemed. The Dean "had becn'publishing some of bis works in -London. A printer, by the name of George Faulkner,. had been getting subscriptions for these works; and he called to pay hi respects to the Dean, and tell him how be was getting along. Beforo .doing this however, he dressed himself up like a fashionable gentleman of those times, vitb a long waistcoat covered over with I - A ' ' I " ' - I .1 I ll iacc, a greai powaereu wig, - anu otucr ionics. Swift saw him coming up to his house, and knew him in a moment, but re-solved to teach him ales son. He pretended not to know hhn, and recciv ed him with as much ceremony if he had been an entire stranger.

No'one can behold the achievements and the deportment of the pri vate soldiers of the South without the feeling of admiration akin to reverence. They have per formed deeds of valor which have startled the world, and which the leading journals of Europe have pronounced unsurpassed by the most heroic days of Greece and Rome. And yet they are as modest and unassuming, as unconscious of doing anything remarkable, as if they had never encoun tered an hour of peril or a moment of privation. Whalever treatment they may sometimes receive from vulgar insolence, the humblest hero in tho ranks of tho South has a hold upon the hearts of the Southern people not surpassed bythat of our most illustrious officers, and not approached by that which is felt for mere embroi dered officials, who have only entered the service to promote their own personal fortunes. The vast Dotmlaritv of the immortal ' Jackson arose from the fact that he was the impersonation of the South ern soldier; that be so. thoroughly embodied the Federal Money Forged in England.
