The > aj habits formed, Ihe oriincs oom- miiied, the restraints of fioei^t- of Uw. and of reUgion. weakened or ca«i oli. all the di>velopi&eni>i of roar’s natural oharaoter, too plainly show ibat it is po It may almost be wid thtwt the after effects upen sooiety are -Ten more to be deplored than the losses of life and iimb in the oamp and :n the field. This view, unques tionably true, is often taken of the effects of war But the Richmond Dispatch encourages its readers with the other side of the pi; ture. Has not the wsr. it asks, dcTeloptrd 80Qi9thing besides e»il' “Has it not rereal ed good qualities as well as bad, and introduced to Ihe world and to themseNes virtuous as well as evil men? Has it not disoloeed in ihe almost unknown Robert E. L«e a closer resemblance tj George WasMngton than we had supposed humanity could ever again fnrnish? But for the war. Stonewall Jaokaon might have gone to his grave an obscure prafessor in the Virginia Military Institute, ignorant, in his saintlike humility, of those wonderful qua Utieg which have filled ihe world with the glory of his name. And what a host of virtuous and heioio deeds hat* this war elicited in the citizen seldiery ol the South, deeds which are innumerable ae the stars of Heaven, and which would never have been seen but lor the darkness that haa covered the sky! Like the ordeal of the last Judgment, the war has sepa rated the wheat from the tarea, the sheep from the goats, the just from the uigusi, ana revealed all mea to themselves and to the world in their real character.” Tiiia is true, and it is a truth pleasani to dwell upon. In times of quiet, great and good men, or rather men who have the elements of greatness and goodness, pass along without either the world or themselves knowing the depth and extent of power lying dormant in their iouls. 4>pp«TtunUy is wanting War presents that op- poriunity Blessed is the man—blest of God and men —who seizes it to do good, to serve his country and his kind, instead of self only. Say what we will of the few whose loyalty to their country is brought in question by their own course, and of the many whose greed of gain absorbs ail other and more generous impulses, it oilinot be denied that the war has alse brought forth an amount of unselfish devotion of life u> country, and con tributions of time and toil and money, hitherto unknown in the annals of the country Aad this not among men only—the women and children of the South have as sisted to write this glorious record upon the page of History. Let ua take heart, therefore; the demoraliza tion is but skin-oeep upon the body politic. There is a depth of public virtue, and aa extent of public liberaUty, that only a time ef great trial could have sounded and measured. SiQMs --At an election in Orange county, last week, to fill vacancies in the State Senate and House of Com* moas, tnere were six candidates, every one oi whom openly declared himself for Qov. Vance. This is a straw whioh might furnish the Editor of the Standard with a hint. He has boasted of hia unsurpassed facili ties for colleating public opinion and his habit of {ol io wing in the way to which that opition led. Now here is hia native oouuty, within thirty miles of the Standard office, unable to muster a single candidate favorable to his election aa Governor He will see me point In deed it Is reported that he has seen it, anO haa expressed to hia friends an inclination to withdraw, only that it would be political suicide foi him to do so Let not that consideration hinder. It is only a choice of evils Should he withdraw, political euicide. Should he rua, political murder. Pulitical death anyhow. The derangement of the mails, and absence of any exciting news, enable us to insert a number of commu nications—of wtiich we nave m^ny still on band. Among those giv&n to day, ia one doing justice to Pettigrew’s Brigade at the Battie of Gettysburg, a vindioaiion rendered necessary by the iBjostioe of a prejudiced book. There wiii also oe founa Among those puoiished to day, the uuanimous action o£ two waole Brigades m Virginia, inviting Guv Vttnco to visit anU adarees them. The Governor has acc-.pted ths invitation, and left Raleigb on Tuesday last for'the Army. He will be absent about ten days, ana wilicomo lo Fayetteville immediately after hia return. He Wili ad»ist us by leitgri»ptt ot the day on wnich he will speak hore; an.i as doon as we near we will give notice by aaudbnls and otherwise. Blruiko Rails —In toe Order Booa of i.ord Corn wallis, in the |»osaession of a friend, some extracts from whico we have published and commented upou in a re cent issue, occurs the following: “No ra ling to be burnt on any ground whatever, but by express permission.” Our friend wishes that this prohibition could i>e -pub- hsiied and proclaimea in every camp from the Rapiuan to the Rio Grande. Much suflFeiing has been, undoubt edly, caused m Uastern North Carolina and other parts of the Confederacy by the wanton destruction of fencing by ouv own troops as wsil as by the enemy. But the matter ia almost entirely in toe hands of commanding cSicers. The writer of this has seen, in the splendidly disciplineU army of Northern Virginia, whole Brigades of infantry enoampea Ur moutdb oa both aides of Iobk Unes of rail fencing, in the coldijat weather of the win ter, without destroying so muoa m a pane!, me brig ade Inspector 19 oonstantly on tbe w^tch, and any spe cies of property destroyed by the troops is promptly re placed by details made for the purpose, or, where this IS impracticable, a certified statement of damdges is given the sufferer upon which the latter may seoure pay- therefor. On the recent march of Hill’s Corps to wards .Madison C. H. the troops were ordered to bivonac a little before nightfall. It had be«>n raining and freez- • Dg all day; the troops were very wet and oold, and some of them had pulled down a few rails and were fast de- Bioiishing the stacks of fodder in an adjacent field, when the owner of the property rode up and made complaint to me Division oommaader. In five minutes, every rail had been replaced and the stacks of fodder assumed their old dimensions. This Is a just and necessary discipline, »ad there is no excuse for a lack of it in any army. Til a Htobm.—The storm of sleet and snow whioU we Mentioned so briefly on Monday, by no means followed our sensible example—it wfts not at all brief, bat kept up a constant sleeting and snowing and blowing for thirty-six hours, stopping only on Tuesday night, and leaving several incties of deposite upon the surfaoe of things. We believe it has t>een several yean since so heavy a fall of snow has occurred here, »nd longer BtilL since Buoh a one has occurred bo late in the Spring. The intense oold has doubtless blighted the prospect of a good fruit year. OoMMt'KicaiiOMs—People who send communications Here containing state^nouts «a to matters of fitct waste pajter and postage ^nlesa they sign their namee. Thia notice is repeated for the benefit of a number of recent writers whose ooxninaaioationi have been received Mid act published. L A tiiTTKx or Imtkoouctiom.—Col. McRae, Editor of I the Raleigh Confederate, who formerly resided itfNew- I bern, had his eook stolen from him by the yankees «*n j 1 neir capture of that town, .while the Colonel was at the head of the fith North Carolina Regiment in Virginia. The editor seizes the ocoasion of a reoent flag presenta tion to a negro regiment in New York, to introduoe his quondam cook to Gen. Jo'in A. Dix, commander of the yankce and negro forces in that city. It seems that a hundred or more females of “upper tendom” present ed such a Hag, bidding the recipients to “Remember that it is an emblem of love and honor from the daughters of this great Metropolis to her brave champions in the field, aud that they will anxionsly watch your career, glorying in your heroism, minister- >Dg lo you when wounded and ill, and honoring your nmrtyrdom with benedictions and with tears ” ‘•Love and honor’’! of th*.*!* women for a parcel of black rag«raut&na such as one sees about the streets of New VorkI Well, e*ery one to her taste—or to her tmell. If these females like the odor, i is their own affair—Southern ladies will never go fhero lo dispute the point with them. This by the way. Our purpose was So copy fho following appropriate notice of the affair from Ihe Confederate, ending with the.introdutlon of Mary, the Colonel’s cook, to the polite attentions of Gen. Dix:— “The above is a part of the general plan now in pro gress by the discomfited and worn 001 yankee govern ment. to Guhstitute for the beaten white soldier and the mercenery hirelings who have heretofore done Iheytut- kee’s fighting, the poor 'tfgfo—to push hhn to the front of the battle; and, keeping him there by the bayonet, to take a>>olt,er frr their own cowardly carcasses behind this Hvo bulwark. AJready in several battles they have pilrsued towards the negro thia brutally selfish policy, aad it has always baen attended with the almost entire annibilation of the “Colored Trcops”—these runaway slaves aod free negroes, whom heretofore they have permitted to starve in and about the Five Points, and other sinks of iaiquity of New York, *acd under the nilme of “natiouftl troops,” are consecrating (hem to the murder of the husbands, sons and brothers of south ern women, who. like themselves, are of white color— but unlike them in all other partioulars—and especially in that tnese last are a Christian, virtuous at.d humane race of women. If anything were wanting to the ex posure of the hoUow-hcarted hypocrisy of that whole race of people, it is to be found in this feminine com mendation of taesi: poor negroes by the women of New York, to oaroage, slaughter *nd destruction, under Eome affected sympathy for “free nationality.” These negroes, who have not even been permitted to “follow a trade” or find service in an honorable calling—not even to sit in their churches or ride in their cara—who, andefended by law, have been butchered in their streets by mobs for whioh ao one has been punished—these negroes are thus affectionately greeted by their loving frienda now, and thus dedicated to “martyrdom, with benedictions and with lears ’—with assnriinces that these devoted white women will watch them as they “career” to death in the p’acc of brother Jonathan and cousin Aminadab, who will alfo be watching, from be hind, the same “career.” “And Gea. Dix cultivates his p?u for a special regret fur necessary absence on this interesting ocoa*«ion Gen’l.

Taey have been whipped in Florida by one against two or three, in. Mississippi by one against five, and havo refused to meet Johnston and Longstreet, though witfi superior numbers. The Examiner refers the dif- f«r nee to the employment of negro troops, and says: ‘ The measure was adopted as the cerUin, infallible mes.ns of bringing ruin upon the South. 'It will prove, on t he contrary, the cause of inevitable failure to the North. It will demoralise their armies in the field; and it will demoralize public sentiment at home. The anti- abolitionidts will avail themselves of the exouse of “the nigigera’ war” for shirking the service; and men o' spirit and courage will eschew the army and avoid the “touch of edbowa’ with their brethren in color and ordor, as n-en of spirit naturally avoid those without any preten sions to manliness or bravery. The first volley sut&oes to scatter the negroes like sheep, in an engageotent. They dissatisfy the white troops with whom they are associated; for the white yankee soldier is a white man evea though a yankeo; aad be oannot brook an aaaocia- tion on equal ttjrms with the negro. When he is re quired to regard himself as the associate and equal of the negro, he loses all pride and tone of charao'er He &ela iiimaelf wronged oy hia by bis people at home. The fight in Florida was made, on tte enemy’s part, with negro froopa, and with white troops wiio had ocen associated for some time with the blacK.. In thia point of view the result is quite* signifi cant and quite important. “It is not surprising or nnnatural that the rmploy- ment of negro soldiers sho'ild be attended by such con sequences. The war had not progressed two years be fore this Tain glorious and boastful people found thjem selves in condition to need some extraneous assistance, and they resorted to t he incendiary and unmanly expe dient of enlisting a large element of Southern power in the work of subjugation This was itself a confession of the inability of the North, by its own strength, to co&nplete the enterprise it had undertakeu; and the class tbey brought into service evinced the unohivalrous, vin dictive and cowardly spirit by which they were actuat ed. No brave, proud and chivalrous people would have resorted to such a measure. No gallant and courageous inroops would oondent to be assisted, in the high enter prise of war, by a menial class, whom they had been taught from infancy to look down ur-on, and of whose courage it was impossible to entertain a favorable opin ion. A people base enough to call such aid inio rrqui- sition. not only cannot succeed, but do not deserve to do so, eyen were their enterprise, otherwise, ever so mer itorious. Nor would the South deserve a better fate, if her subjugation by such means were practicable. If she oannot maintain herself against an enemy confessing his inability to subdue her, except by servile assistance, she will deserve to be redaoed to the level of the class whose aid is invoked to fasten the slave’s yoke upon There are some within her bosom base enough her. to' ask the imposition of tuis yoke; in some looalitiea demanding a popular convention to that end For the benefit of these wretches, the Confederate Congress has repealed the habea$ eorput »ct; it ought to have gone further, and voted blaoking and brushes, or a liberal supply of oupperas and logwood extract, or the best materials for a dye of the deepest black.” Wioio Dati.-—Some of our issae to-day is dated on tke ootaide Maroh;}7tk ioatoad of Ifaroh 34t8. been put to the Reg't, without a dissenting voice, ear nestly petition that your Excellency, at as early a day as convenient, visit our army and deliver ua an addreaa JNO R.

IDditoi^:—We arc happy to state to our friends that the health and condition^of our Reg't is very good at present. The soldiers all seem to be in fine apirits, notwithstanding we have been on picket for the last forty days. Most of our time we have hud beautiful weather. Oor time will expire on picket in a few days; then we will retire to our winter quarters near O. C. U. where we will be more oomtortabie. Another winter has passed, spring has appear ed, and we soon will have to take up the line of marching and fighting if our enemies should ad vance on us. Hut we are ready to ui^bt them at any moment and feel that we are ligating in a just cause. Notwithstanding we hav^ seen many of our comrades fall by onr sides, and have sac rificed their lives for their country, we are willing if necessary to sacrifice ours rather than be con quered anti brought • down on equality with the negro. Then let us still straggle in this glonoas cause. B. B. & M. V. The Fall of Vicktburg.—The official report of Qen. Johnston makes some disclosures that seem to destroy Gen. Pemberton.

The cxpiauu tion is this, in Pemberton's own words: ‘*If it should be asked why the fourth of'Julf was selected as the day for Uie surrender, the an swer is obvious I believed that, upon that day, 1 should obtain better terms. Well aware oi the vanity of our foes, I knew they would attach vast importanoe to the entrance, on the fourth of Ju ly, into the stronghold of the great river, and that, to gratify their national vanity, they would yield then what could n jt be extorted irom them at any other timo."
