But he, the leader on whose word those cap"

Alter alluding to the fact that North
Carolina reluctantly seceded, and. "that
the great leaders of the war were fur
nished by Virginia and other State.®) - -
he proceeded to show "that iu the nuin
bcr of soldiers furnished; in the discip
line, courage, and loyalty, and difficult
service of those soldiers: in amount ot
material and supplies contributed; in
the good faith and moral support of her
people at, large; and in all the qualities
which make self-sacrifice, patriotism?
and devotion td duty, North Carolina is
entitled to stand tVhcre her troops stood
i;i battle—behind no State, but In the
front ranks of tke cdnfiideration, aligned
and abreast with thu best, the foremost,
and the bravest;" andMie regTL'ttCd ex

NOitTll CAROL) NA's PART.
It might be said that only eleven
Btates; Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida; Alabama,
'Mississippi, Luisiana, Texas) Arkansas
I and Tennessee, were committed to the
late war on the Southern side. Mary
land, Kentucky and Missouri "were
■ only partially engaged," tho great ma
jority of their people remaining with
tho Union. Ot these eleven, North
Carolina was in territory the seventh
in total population th 6 iiitlf, in white
population the third, in wealth the sev
enth, in value of all fann products the
fourth, iu production of cotton tlicuiuti)
in production of corn the fourth) and of
Wheat, rye, and oats the third, and in
the number oi horses and cattle the
fourth, in manufactures third, in pro
duction of iron and material of war
about the fourth,- and iu root crops,
fisheries, and naval stores the first;
Her material condition, average wealth,
credit) internal improvements,. were
good and improving.
"She was the last to move in the dra I
ltlu ot secession, and went finally, more •
from a sense ot duty to her sisters and
the sympathies of neighborhood and
blood) than from a deliberate conviction
that it Was good policy to do so.'' Yet,
"none stdod by that ddsperite venture
With better faith or greatter efficiency)"
and the Govtihior declared, "As far as
1 have been able to learn, North Caro
lina furnished more soldiers in propo
tion to White population, and more
sdpplids and material iu proportion to
her means, fof- the support of that
war than any otbef State of the Confed

WifAT STATE FUUNIBIIED MORE SOLDIEUS ?
" I don't know but what my asser
tion might he amended so as to claim
that this is not relatively bat positively
more troops than any gtate put into
service. At all events, I shall be glad
if it brings forth the records of any si*,
tcr State, and wff! submit when fairly
beaten* According to the report of
AdjutanKJeneral Cooper the whole
number of troops in the Confederate
service was 600.000, of which North
Carolina furnished largely more than
one-sixth. One-tenth would have been
ber share. Her total white population
was iu 1860, 629,942; of this she sent to'
the war more than one man to every
six souls I How they demeaned them-
selves the bloody records of kilted and
wounded in all the great Uattlds of the
war boaf incontrdVbrtuble testimony.'
DISCIPLINE oi-' THE XtJKTIt CAROLINIANS.
•'Almost the only commands in Lee's
army which were intact and serviceable
at Appomattox," Governor Vance
elaitilttd, " were North ,Carolina brig
ades, and the statement is inade, so lar
as we know without contradiction} that
shtj there suircndcfed twliiti as tfiany
muskets as any other State. At Greens
boro', too, Hoke's division of North
Carolina troops .was in splendid condi
tion and efficiency; and constituted one
third or moid dt tJdhiifton's army."
irhile speaking on this subjttit Govern
or Vance declared that " the tVl'ltei ; s
who pen biographies of the great and
illustrious loaders Which Virginia gave
to the Confederacy have been too anx.
ious to eulogize thbir heroes which
wrought their plans into sush glorious
results."
MATERIAL AND W A K-S L' IT I, I ES.
The speakerhaviilg shown how nobly
North Carolina performed her duty to
the Confederacy in furnishing soldiers,
called the attention of the meeting to
the part she took in furnishing silpplies
and material) thoilgh lie had to t-tigrct
that lid was unable td t'urnidh accurate
tigurcsj tlie reco'ds being oilt of his
reach, lie,explained how Under tlie
press tire of oircumstrtncOstlle manufac
tures of North Carolina expanded;
what they furnished the Confederacy
and the pedffie of sister states; how the
State purchased the steamship; Ldrd
Clyde,(aftefrwards the "Advanco") and
how she passed the blockade eleven
times, each time bHngirfgin stores of
medicine, maclihiet'y; leatljtsrj clothes,
shoes, animations of war, tfcd., not only
for North Cardliila; but for the Confed
erate Government 5 ndt duly for their
people. In addition to these supplies
brought in from abroad, immense sup
plies of bacon, beef flditr and cdi'u wdre
furnished froni theif dwn fields. ''Oltl
men and women in many cases guided
the plough whilst children followed with
the hoe in the gaping furrows."
HOW THE DESTITUTE AT liOMH WfcHE I'ItO
VIDED lUU;
"In addition to providing for the sol
diers in the field, there was still a more
difficult task," the orator asserted; "in
providing lor the destitute at home—a
task which the Military men did not ap
preciate properly. To meet the neces
sity, granaries were established at sev
eral points, and corn distributed in thb
most iiccdy districts) committees were
appointed in each county to look after
the neodv, and commissioners selected
whose sole duty it was to provide saU.
The Stdte became tor the time a grand
almoner, and it is my opinion that no
part performed in that great struggle
was more deserving of praise than the
effort which NortliCarolina made to pro
vide lor the ]H)or families ol those who
were fighting for heron distant bat
tle fields. ThCse efforts went to the very
gist of our 6Ucc'ess."
WHY THECOXI'EDERACr FAILED.'
After paying an eloquent tribute to
the old and young of North Carolina,-
who furnished tho sinews ot war, and
speaking oi "the effort made in public
and private to averi the
war and to sustain the spirits of tlie peo
ple," he expressed the opinion that the
cause of odr nltimatf failure began by
I the neglect of those at home. Our civ
al administrations lost the cause of the
South. Had it been equal iu
tact to that displayed by onr roilitary
| administration—had the'civilian done
I bis part as well as the soldier—very dif
ferent would have been the result.
"The morale of our people at the begin
ing and for two years thereafter was
' excellent,' and if it had been sustained
! I mautain that wc could hare Won;
j notwithstanding tbe fearful disparity of
j numbers. Our cause was lost at home,
I ndt in the field."
"> A PIECE OF SKCRKT IILSTOUY.
Alluding to the fact that much has
bceu said about the presence of "an un
ruly disloyal Union clcmeut in North
Carolina during the war," and -'the
prevalence ot the unjust impression
that North Carolina could be Easily de
tached from her dntv to her confeder
ates." Governor Vance said that "it
seemed there were some who presum
ed upon it for important purposes/'
"Soon after the failure of the
ton Roadg conference I was visited by
Governor Graham whose death we so
recently deplore, who was then a sen
ator of the Confederate States. -After
giving all particulars of that conference
which had not appeared in the papers
and the prevailing impression* ofcon
grcssional circles about Richmond, Ac.,
he informed me that a number of lead
ing gentlemen there, despairing of ob-
Milling* peace through Mr. Datis, ttnd
believing the end luevitable and not dis
tant, hud request 3d lliol to visit met. hi
urge ineas Governor of North CaroJna
take steps for making separate terms
with Sir. Lincoln, and tlhts inagur
ate the conclusion. GOvefnofc Graham
remarked that lie had agreed td lav
their rrquest before me without promis
ing to add his personal advise thereto.
"I who these gentlemen were,
and with some rdlilctitricd, ho gnrd fttL'
their names—chiefly senators and rep
resentatives in the Confederate Statts
Congress. I asked why tlieso gentle
men did not begin nCgotiitionsot their
dwn States with the oiiegfy, and if they
\froitld eoirie out in the papers with trie
rcqiiest to die.
"He said they ivOuld Hot tako the 1 in
itiative. They were surrounded at
homcjand so trammeled by pledges &c.
as to render it impossible!. 1 declined the
proposition, of course, and asked him
to say to those gentlemen with my com
pliments) that in Hie mountains ofNorth
dardliiia wlidrd 1 wa9 reai'ed when a
man was whipped he had to do his own
hollowing; that-the technical word
"enough could not be cried by proxy.
This secret piece of history frill serve to
show that there wasa fuiiitess of lidart
smiting together of the knees in other
ttnd a parts ot the South outside of
iiortli Cardliuai"
TUB SOLTUKHN liltrfOltiCAL SOCIETY.
The concluding portion of Governor
Vance's address was devoted to com
mendation of the Southern Historical
soijivty ttnd the necessity of securing
material for a trite history. It was de
livered Ttitll great eloquence and with
excellent eilfcet. It abouuded in anec
dotes and illustrations aud personal ex

played by the North Carolinians of the
field of battle and at home; but I aui
