He had been treated. like them, or probably a little worse, aa he was the only man in the. State who was sent to prison after the war. He said that though all the temptations ami demoralization of the war and the subsequent reconstruction, he could say before his God that not a dollar of ill gotton gains had ever stuck to'fhese fineers. This powerful and eloquent peroration had a telling effect, aud voices every where answered, that is so ; wo believe it! ! we believe it ! ! !

In May of this year he was arrested as a prisoner, and carried to Washington City, and. imprisoned in the old capitol and after remaining in prison for. several months, he was finally released, and shortly after removed to this city and resumed the practice of the law. Although a banned man, we believe he has taken an active part in every political campaign which has been fought since the war, especially in the campaign of 1872, ever maintaining and upholding the rights of the people, exprting the people to have courage -in obeying the'powers of the government in the days of reconstruction, to have patience and wait for the better days to come, and hope that those times might Coleman, and Col W W .Avery Democrats oiiered themselves tor the speedily come. position, and after a spirited contest, In lcU, When aonest men once Vance came forward as the Whig can more assumedjthe power in the Legis- Hirlat tor th same nosition.

He was asigaed to the 14lh regiment tf North Carolina volunteers, and served with his company until the latter part of August 18bl, when he was elected Colonel of the 26th regiment ef North Carolina volunteers. Vance serted as Colonel of his regiment in the cam paign in Eastern North Carolina, and took an active part in the battles of the Spring and bummer of 1862: particu 1.1 . . 1 1 T- 1 t iariy tne Datues arouna ticnmona. While at the head of his regiment in Virginia, he was elected Governor ver Col Win Johnstoa, of Charlotte, by a large majority. He resigned his nosition in the army and was inaugu rated as Governor on the 8th day of September following by virtue of a pecial ordinance ot the Convention, passed in consequence of the death of Governor John W Lllis. Gov Vance, had been elected largely through the nfluence of the old Union element, which existed throughout the State, but his position was defined at the head of his regiment, as in favor of peace only when that peace could be obtained with honor. He is known to-day as the great war Governor of the SoHth, and there is probably no man in the Southern States who ia more deserving of the appellation. Leaving his position at the head of his regiraentf after the battles around Richmond, he entered upon his duties as Governor, at a time when only our purest and best men were entitled to leadership, it is a pleasure for us to be able to say, alter the lapse of sixteen years, that .North Carolina, never gave birth to a truer patriot than the subjact of this sketch. Dunne the time that he filled the gubernatorial chair, he was rigid in the enforcement of the laws, and yet his actions were tempered with the finest sensibilities of the human heart, when he was forced to mete out pun ishment to violators of the law. Soon after his inauguration the fortunes of the Confederate States seemed to turn upon the ability of the Southern States to maintain their armies in the field. Upon Gov. Vance's recommen dation, the Legislature of North Car olina, in secret session passed a bill, placing an amount ot money in hands to be used at his discretion. Under his direction, a ship called the "Advance" was purchased in the Clyde River in Scotland, which succeeded in eluding the blockading fleet at Wilmington,and making her way to and from the mar kets ot the world, with her cargoes, and after a. short time returned loaded with many of those commodities need ed most throughout the South, partic ularly supplies for the soldiers.
