The old “North State”—God bless her—we love her notwithatandiDg ahe has nourished with- io her oonfinca a Uoldea and a few other treason able coadjutors—prcaenta a proud und defiuit crest still. The stigma which an insignifioant number of trembling spirts at home attempted to fix upon her fair escutcheon, is more than wiped out by tbe dauntless cour^c of her sons in the held, and the noble stand of her able and inde fatigable Governor in her councils. It is a fact not generally known that a recent official investigation into the desertions and ab- sentecidU) of soldiers from the different States com posing our army, ^ves North Carolina the fairost record of any. According to the ratio of her fighting population, she is behind none of bar aiuterb in tlie number of troops sent to the field, I and according to the ^ame ratio there have been lesiB deaortions among uer noble boys. I North Carolina is fortunate in aufether respect. I She has a Gov«rnir worthy of her heroio soldiery; and this is, perhaps, the highest compliment we pay Jtita. vVith bis heart and soul earo- eatly wniiMted in the cause, he has worked day and night for its advancement He has not sig- naliziMi liifl admifiistratiou by the frequent issu ance ot patriotic and high sounding proolamations, like many of our Southern Executives, but let us see what he has done. It is a notorious fact that the troops of North Carolina are better . cluthcd than those frutc any State iu tbe Con- lederacy. Aud tluH it so because the Executive of tbe Slate has attended to the matter himself. Wheu Governor Vance was tint elected there were nut live hundred ^uits of clothing tc be found in the i}uarterma»ter’s department of the State. Now there are sixty thousand suits of ready made clothi^ awaiting tbe needs of North C'aroliua troops. There are also thirty thousand blankets, shoes, kc. In tact, the Governor tells us hi his speech that his ^'boys have so many go^ clothes that they trade them ior liquor some times.’' .All this has been accomplished through tbe indefatigable energy of Gov. Vance, without any assistance wbatffrer fiom the Confederate States government. What other Executive has done half so well? Gov V'ance has further endeared himseif to all true patriots of the South by his speech deliver ed at Wilkcsboro’, N. C., on, the 22d ult. It is the most apro^n speech we have read since tbe war coutmenced. It is cheering aud cheerful—logical and amusing—profound and witty In short, it is d rare panacea for despon dency, and cannot fail to interest and relieve the anxious. The object of its utterance was to dis courage the scheme oi' a convention entertained by some malcontents of that State, but il looked principally to the condition oi the whole country. We are informed that the speech had a magicai elfect cn tbe minds of the discontented—that the convention project was killed as dead as a door nail by it, and that there was never a"i*etter and more wholesome sentiment among tbe people of the than is now prevailing.

Yes, dreaded day is past, the 17th of February. Tte' yankees, about three thotisand in number, euteref town, marched to the railroad bridge and bnmi it; returning th% burned the station, oourt house, printing office, hospital building, and several other vacant houses. The night before they came, —^— heard they were at Enterprise. He took oif not quite half of our meat; three tru&ks of my best clothing and blankets. About four teen or fifteen men came here; walked iato the smokehouse^ took all the hams and shoulders; or dered biscuit, and had three of the servants cook ing biscuit; used tip half a barrel of flour, and helped themselves to as many eg^ aud chickens as they wanted. Two big negroes were in the erowd. Not one of them entered my house and only one spoke to me. He asked for the keys; 1 told him the door was open. They went into some of the houses; took all the bed-elothes and oloilting they could lay hands on; broke open trunks,’drawers, and in one instance, went into Mrs. Dun^r’s house, where she was lying aick in bed, and pUled the blankctb and quilts off her. 'I’hey Mcarohed houses for weapons; cursed some of the ladies, and evb,> stole the bed-cUnhes and olothing from negroes.

At Lucian Hattcoek'B they took everything from the fdniily; tore up his cousin’s olothing before her face, and made her pnlLtbe ria^B from her lingeis. But joor Mrs flushing! they treated h«r .•jcandalously. They stripped her and whipped her until they brou|;ht the blood to the surface ol the skin. This is the truth. She lives opposite to the Judge's uncle. She is ao old lady, aud had done nothing to provoke them tout. One of the brutes found a strap, aud askeil what she did with that thing? She told them she used it to cor rect her servants and children. Tbe fellow told her be was going fo try it on her, an4 did so.
