McCldlan's "grand army" had taken up their march and would soon "drive the rebels to the wall." Such -unarmy, in all its equipments and appointments, had never before mvaded any people or laid siege to any t.,wa This is no exaggeration.

What now u-thesituniion ? The Grand army of the North consisting, according to Cameron's account, 'ti 660.000, and of 750,000, according to o'her au thorities, have been defeated and routed at every point.

Inauguration of Gorernor Vance. The inauguration of Col. 7: B.. Vance,' of Bun combe county, as Governor of North Carolina, took place in the Capitol Square, in this city, last Monday morning. The'ceremonies were performed with .the usual solemnity the venerable Chief Justice admin istering the oaths ' of office Tha inauguration took place in the open air and was witnessed by a large concourse of people generally estimated to consist of some three or four thousand souls. . ." The morning was every wsyavorable for the full est enjoyment of the imposing ceremonies, and the in auguration came off in a manner highly agreeable to the interested spectators. The late hour at which we received this document precludes anything like protracted comment or just criticism. As a patriotic document it is faultless, coming up to the wants and spirit of the country in a bold, manly manner. If it contains allusions which are irrelevant and out of place, or omits any which ought to have been made, these defects are amply atoned for by the bnrsing zeal for the prosecution of the" war which it seeks to infuse into the people. It tells us in plain terms that tlve war was farced upon us by the Yankees and that that war must be prose cuted to the bitter end, at whatever cost. The Con scription law will be impartially executed and must receive a cheerful obedience. We lay the entire doc ument before the public to-day. Thanksgiving. Again the nation has abundant cause for grateful, devout thanksgiving to Almighty God, for the recent manifestations of his divine favor and protection Jn o-rantiu" us signal victories over our enemies. This is fitly acknowledged by the President; and brought to the recollection of the people, in the subjoined pro clamation appointing a 3ay of Thanksgiving and Praise, which we doubt uot will be duly'observetl by the whole people of the Confederate States. Seldom indeed has any people been more signally blessed, and more seldom still, we hope, has any people been found more grateful and humble before God or more willing to acknowledge his divine hand in the past, and to implore the continuance of his great favors in the future. ; Proclamation. f BY THE PBEBIDEI T. To the people . of ihe Confederate States : ' ' ' Once more upon the Plains of Manassas have our armies been blessed bv -the Lord of Hosts-with a tri- umDh over our enemies. It is my privilege to invite you once more to His footstool, not now in the garb of fasting and sorrow, but with joy and' gladness, to render thanks for the great mercies received at His hand.. - A few montns siuce, and our enemies poured forth their myading legions upon our soil. They laid waste our fields, poll uteri our altars aud violated the sanctity of our homes:. Around our Capital they gathered their forces, and; with boastful threats, claim ed it as already;thcir prize. The brave troops which rallied to its defence have extinguished these vain hopes, and, under the guidance of the same Almighty handhave scattered our euemies and driven tnem back in disfiay. Uniting these defeated forces and the various armies which had beeti ravaging onr coasts with the army of invasion in Northern Vir ginia, our enemies have renewed their attempt to sub jugate us at the very place; where their first effort was defeated, atidthe vengeance ot retriDutive justice nas overtaken the entire he st in a second and complete overthrow. To this signal success accorded to our arms in. the East has been graciously added another equally bril liant in the West. On the very day on which our forces were led to victory on the Plains of Manassas, in Virginia, the same. Almighty arm assisted us to overcome our enemies at Ilichmond, in Kentucky. Thus. at. once and' the same time, have two great hos tile armies been stricken- down and the wicked de signs of our euemies set at naught. . ' ' - In such circumstances it is meet and right, that as a people we should bow down iu adoring thankfulness to that Gracious God, whojias been our bulwark and defence, and to offer unto Him the tribute of thanks giving and praise. Iu His hahd is the issue of ail events, and to Him "should we inn especial '.maimer ascribe the honor of this great deliverance. Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President the , Confederate States, do issue this my proclamation set ting apart Thursday,-the 18th day of September instant, as a daJf'ot" ' Praj'er and Thanksgiving -to Al mighty Go 1, fr the great mercies vouchsafed to our people, and rjfore especially for the' triumph of our ams at Richmond aud' at Manassas ; and I do hereby invite the people of the Confederate 'States to meet on that day at their respective places of public wor ship, and to unite in rendering Thanks and Praise to God for these great mercies, aud to implore Him to conduct our country safely through the perils which surrouml us, to the final attainment of the blessings of peace and security.; T ' , (riven under my hand and the seal of the 'seal 'Girt federate' States at .Richmond, this A J fourth day of September.

The details of military operations in Virginia, for the last ten or fifteen days, could they be collected, would fill volumes On the 28th, 29th. and 30th ultimo, and on the 1st instant, terrible battles were fought and glorious victories wou. The enemy was repulsed or routed in 'every encouuter. His loss in killed ar.d wouuded is estimated at not less than fifty thousand. The Confederate loss is comparatively trifling so small, indeed, as .to be far below the most moderate probabilities.

The Richmond papers bring us the gratifying as surance that Jackson and Longstreet' crossed the Potomac on last Thursday. Jackson is said to have crossed iat Edwards' Ferry, ?aud Longstreet at White's Ferryv a little lower down." Of -this there seems to be no doubt. We alscMearn that President Davis and Gov. Lowe, of Mai yland, have set out from Rich mond for the scat of War. Speculation would be out of place. We have reached the crisis of our affairs, and wo tremble for the safety of our hitherto victorious army Nothing but rapid and heavy Wows, and the fatori God will continue "to lis the joys of further victories, and bring the Yankees to their senses. Our cause is iu good hands, and well may the country be thank ful and hopeful. Nothing but grim despondency and idle boast and unprecedent lying reach us through the Yankee press. Their capital is now in a state of siege, and may it be the will of Heaven that it shall speedily fall into our hands. In addition to the glorious victories m Virginia we have to add those of Gen.

' Increasing the Army. .: "We are not among the number who believe that the combined araiy of Pop, Bora side and McClellan will be eitber'laptured or destroyed. ?We rejoice to know they have been defeated and put to Sight with'tmmense loss of men and stores, bat they ha?e only fallen back behind their fortifications to await reinforcement from the new levies of. 300,000 called for by the government. Nor are we of those who beliere that the Tories' of 600,000 called for by the Yankee government cannot be raised. They will all be raised to a man, and that speedily. If they do not volunteer, they will be drafted. Willing or un willing they must don the soldier's armor. They must go to the camp or starre. Whether they will fiht or not when they get there, w. another question But they must go, aud we may as well regard the 600,000 as already raised, and prepare to meet them. Congress has this subject under ' consideration. They have wUely resolved to enroll all men between the ages of eighteen and forty fire. , 'That they will do this has become, we believe, a fixed fact. There is not so much unanimity among them as to who, if any, shall be exempt, and whether they shall be. en rolled under State or Confederate authority. This we regard; at the present time, as mere hair-splitting. In onr opinion no man, except officers of the State and Confederate governments, should be exempt. , We would include, perhaps, ministers of the Gospel regu larly in charge of churches,-or, as tho law has it, hav ing the cure of souls. But beyond this, all men be tween the ages of 18 and. 45 ought to be enrolled as fighting men. Whether'; mechanics or laborers or professional men, we ail equally enjoy, or hope to en joy the blessings of liberty and the rights of freemen, and we should all be equally willing to fight far them. When enrolled in the army and mustered i hto service, every man can be detailed for those duties and services for which nature and education have qualified him; and all in their respective spheres, whether on the battlefield or in the workshop, will be equally soldiers and equally upholding the cause of his coun try." V When all are thus enrolled, it will be an easy matter to divide them intorp according to .the ne cessities of the governmeut. Vo have already Cvlps of infantry, cavalry,' &c. We would only have to add to these corps of blacksmiths, house and ship carpenters, gunsmiths, powder manufacterers, each operating under its distiuct head, and all in the service of a common government Subatitutes for drafted men or conscripts should not be tolerated, unless Congress should see proper to fix a price at which any man might ransom himself from military duty. This price would go into the treasury of the Confederacy and -be held for the pur chase of sdfch substitutes as the government, by its proper officets, should sec fit to receive; or otherwise as a fund for he support of the widows andorphans of deceased soldiers. This is a rough outline of the manner in which all mm of all ranks, classes, trades and professions, be tween 18 and 45 should be made to bear equally the burdens and perils of the unholy war through which we are passing. Could ,such a 'pim be adopted, it could not hereafter be thrmvu into the teeth of the mechanic that he took shelter in the shop while the laborer and professional man were fighting the bat tles of his country. Should he be enrolled on a broad equality with other men as a soldier, and his govern ment thereafter assign him to duty in the workshop, he had not sought it and could not be charged with skulking in the day of battle. ' His children hertraf- ter could not be upbraided with the cowardice of their father. lie was a soldier enrolled as other men, but "the nccess'ties-of his government required hisser- Ticcs iu the workshop and there he cheerfully render ed thum. But whatever plan bo adopted, we hope jt will be adopted ere this meats .the eye of the read ers. Thocncmy is luing the most surarpary meas- sures to fill up thw ranks of thrj'tr shattered armies by new levies. .Already they have raised scores of thou sand?, and some 'of them appears to have smelt South ern powder an 1 tasted Southern steel in the late bat tles at Man vss.m. We mint have new levies t meet them. They ou;ht this diy to be p Hiring into camps all over the country by ih msands. v e have seen that subjugation is an impoibility. The Yan kees see it and feel it. The valor of our troops and the success of nr arms have given them a sad earnest of this. It has mvle them Inug their heads in fear, consternation and shama. They have already con fessed that it will take one million three hunirel thousand men to subjsgate us, a cork' which Lincoln and Seward said they would accomplish with sevenhj- fee thousand. The last man of 1,300,000 has been called for, and it becomes us to be resdy to receivo the new as we have received the old levies. We cannot suppose that any unnecessary delay will be tol erated iu perfectin? a me.isure so important. Our ar mies have been decimated by disease, battle and de sertion. It will be worso than murder should their thinned ranks be left t meet overpowering numbers of a foe they have so often conquered. Justice to our noble, victorious sons require that their regiments be kept overflowing with men to their maximum number. By whatever means this is is to be done, it ought to, be done now. The enemy w.ll have nearly a million of mec in the field by the first of Novem ber. At all events, he will have added 600,000 to u W thflf. timft.

Columbus (fJa-d un.; A Dash on W&shington, IT. C. ' Insatiable Yankee rapacity has been gloating itself on the property of citizens of North; Carolina, for some time past, with perfect impnnity The country around Washington snd .Newbern has been pillaged and plundered at pleasure, the thievish rascals carry ing off whatever suited their fancy. To their acts of theft and rapine, they, added insult and outrage. It has been determined, we learn, tu put a stop to this business, or at least to substitute manly resistance for the tame, degrading submission which has, for some time been practiced. , I , : . v About a. weekj.go, Gen.: Martin was tranferred to the, command of . the forces in North Carolina. He had heard of the Yaokee raids which had been , perpetrated ia the region of Washington, and imme diately conceived the idea of paying that ancient town a visit. Unattended by suite or staff, he left Raleigh on Tuesday morning, 2d inst. On Wednesday, he was fol lowed by his Adjutaat General, MaJ! Gordon. Out of the forces at his command, he selected a few compa nies of cavalry and infantry and a section of a battery of flying artillery, and proceeded towards ; Washing tcra. On Friday night they arrived within a few miles of Washington where they encamped for the night. At dawn of day, Saturday morning, they : advanced upon the ,towu, -where a, brisk skirmish, riing per ils ps to the dignity of a, fight,ensraed" Our men en countered one of more batteries f the enemy as they entered the town, which .opened on them with deadly effect, and which they had been led to belie vo had been dismantled or stripped of their guns Nothing daunted, however, they rushed impetueusly on and past these batteries . aod gained the interior of the town, where the fight continued, almost hand to hand, for upwards of three hours. - At the expiration of this time, the Yanks, as- usual, sought the shelter of their gunbosts which immediately commenced shelling the town, while an incessant fire. 'was also kept up from their batteries inland. Under the secircumstances, our forces felt it necessary to retire, having sus tained a loss of some thirty or forty ..killed, wounded and missing, of whom, we learu.souie seven were kill-. ed. The fig-ht having beeu coiitined from street to streeVand at different points, it was impossible to esti roateie loss of 'he enemy, but it is reasonably sur mized, it was much greater than our own. Our men brought off with them three pieces of La tham's battery which were captured at the battle of Newbcrn, also isome ten or fifteen prisoners. The prisoners captured state that the enemy bad been reinforced the p-eceding evening, b several companies of cavalry, which, of course, operated stroigly in their favor. Due of the j prisoners tde. that this reinforcement was mide in consequcne of in formation received of the meditated attack ; while another states that it was preparatory to making a raid into the country on fast Sunday. The latter it is. thought was the true reason, inasmuch as the rein forcement consisted -of cavalry and, if so, it has been opportunely prevented by the attack. We regret to learn that Capt.- Booth, Co. C, 2nd cavalry, fell mortally wounded, while gallantly lead ing his men in the hottest of the fil;ht. No braver . man has fallen in this ar, and his comrade and country will long cheii-h his memory with respect and affection. We deem it necessary and feel authorized to correct tha unfounded rumor already on tho wing, that 200 of our men arc killed, wounded or missing. We are assured on good authority, that our loss will not reach over the number stated some thirty or forty. Though the object of the attack on Washington may not have been fully realized, it will not be without its moral effect ou the prowling Yankees and even ou our o.vn troops. - There must he no more "skedadling" when the Yankee hordes come out. j to steal, nor no ore dodging evinced when they are to be attacked in their strongholds. Gen. Martin has wisely assumed the offensive, and we earnestly hope it will be reso lutely kept up. We have an abundance of troops in North Carolina, not only to keep the lankees with in their present lines, but to drive them on board their gunboats, and wc earnestly hope to sec it' done. It is due to the troops engaged to say that they acted gallantly aDd fought with desperation. If in stances of cowardice occurred,; they only served to ex hibit the bravery of the true soldier in more brilliant colors. We have not the names of the different com panies nd officers engaged, but we learn that Captains Manney, Pooie,and the lamented Hootn Gisunguisneu themselves for great bravery and coolness. Captain Tucker, of this city, and the men of his command were no less conspicuous for -good conduct. While we mourn the fete of the fdwCbjave men who fell in Wash ington, let the blood of the martyrs be the seed of the army, and raise up men and patriots who will avenge their death. Prom the West.

Tbe enemy is before us, devastating out fair country, imprisoning our old and venerated men even the minsters of God insulting our women and dese- crating our al tars. It ii bur proud lot to be assigned the duty of punishing and driving forth these deluded men, led by desperate adventurers and goaded on by Abolition , demagogues and demons. Let us but deserve suecess and an offended Deity .will certainly assure it. Should we be opposed' we must fight at any odd and conquer at any sacrifice. Should . the foe retire we must follow him rapidly to his own ter- ritory, and make him taste the bitters of invasion. Soldier I the enemy is before you and v your Danners are free. It is for yon to decide whether our broth- ers and sisters of Tennessee and Kentucky shall re main bondmen and bondw.imen of, the Abolition tyrant or be restored to the freedom inherited from their fathers. . .' . 1 By command of Gen.

Four ominous clouds are lowering in the Northern skies. ' .' - First: I'lie Federal tax, onerous in amount, which, if paid, destroys the ability of the masses to pay their, local taxes, thus conflicting with the prosperity, the sovereignty atid actual existence of States; Second: The drafting ot an unwilling population for invasive war, rendered odious to many from its already onerous pecuniary burthens, its indefinite continuance as to time, bntits certain enhanced and continually enhanciug cost in the future. - Third : The greatly increased price of common la bor operating as an inducement for the poor, man to stay at home, and as a drawback against the best material the North has from enlisting in their armies. Fourth : The comiug election, and the impetus given to the Democratic party as the only representa tive of constitutional, civil and personal freedom in the North. - The clouds are nortentous of trotfJc for the North in the way of discord and dissentions, and overthrow of the present dominant power there. Can they be made available as elements of advantage to the South ? "If taken at .the flood" and vigorously ur- ccd. they can.
