Whereas the long expected attack upon our only remaining seaport is now about to be made, and our State is also likely to be invaded at other points by an enemy to whom mercy and civilization are alike unknown and unregarded; and whereas all the organized forces of the State already ordered to the front may still be insufficient to roll back the tide which threatens us with worse than death, aud to drive from our doors a fate horrible to con template : - Now, therefore I, Zcbulon B Vance, Governor of the State of North Carolina, relying upon the loyalty and devotion of her citizens, do issue this my proclamation, commanding and adjuring all good people, whether by law subject to military duty or not, who may be able to stand behind breastworks and fire a musket, of all ages and con ditions, to rally at ence to the defence of- iheir country aud hurry to Wilmington. And I do ap peal to every man who hi.s the spirit of a freeman in his bosom, who has a epark of the fire or a drop of the blood of the heroes of the great army of the great captain in' his veins to come, and come at once. The man who hangs back now because the law does not compel him to go, and consoles him self with tbe much abused and mean spirited idea that he can "be more useful at home." will find it hard to make us believe that he is not pleading the cause of cowardice or disloyalty. The country needs their help vow and that help must be given in this hour of distress, or they must own that their souls are only fitted to enjoy the freedom purchased with other men's blood. For a few days all men physically able are needed at the front, and especially do we need tbe example of all those whoafcretimc panted for the fray, while it was yet at a dLt ancc, and snuffed the battle while it was yet afar off. Let every man physically able then hurry with his blanket to Wilmington, where arms anu rations Mill be furnished, and let those left behind mount themselves and patrol their counties, looking after the women and children and preserv ing order. Your Governor will meet you at the front and will share with, you the worst. Given under my hand aud the great seal of the State. Done at our city of Raleigh, on the 20th day of December, 1S64.

We have just returned home from a flying visit to South Carolina. What little news we have been able to pick up may interest our readers. Wo have been informed by gentlemen from the section of country passed over by Sherman, that he destroyed but little property, only taking that which was necessary for his army except in the case of negroes. He would not interfere, how ever, with any negro except such as voluntarily choose to gG with him, and, indeed,' some of those he declined to have. As an evidence of the large supply of provisions in the region of country through which ho passed, corn is selling at ten dollars per bushel, (we allude to Milledgeville, Ga ,) while in Augusta it brings sixteen dollars. In every instance where the citizens remained at, hoi;e and knnnded protection, their demands were respected. ' - Vigorous preparations are beiog made at Char leston for the defence of that city, should Sher man attempt one of his characteristic flank move ments. Non-combatants have been ordered to leave, and no passports to black or white non-combatants, are now granted on the line of the South Ca.olina railroad. The Georgia, West Point and South Western railroads, will be completed by the fitst of Febru ary, which will open up to us the whole State of Geargia, except that little strip commanded imme diately by Sherman's guns in the vicinity of Sa van iah. Looking the matter square in the face, we ?an but express our entire satisfaction with the aspect of affairs. If there are to be Yankees in Georgia, let it be on her extreme border, occupying as little territory as possible. Savannah is only a city. It were much better that Sherman should hold Sa h, than to hold half of the State of Georgia. The Yankees have nothing extraordinary to claim in their Southern campaign. What they may ac complish, this winter, is another question. It is evident, however, that they intend to follow out the plan hinted at last fall by the Yankee. papers that they intend to move the field of active ope rations' South, and it is more than likely that our good old city will not be forgotten in that program me. -Wilmington Carolinian. Unfortunately, many are attaching a vast deal too much importance to Savannah as a military piont. In a moral point of view -we would be in jured by it, but if it be viewed f rom a military stand point, it will be little or no loss, from the simple fact that it is worth to the enemy but little moro than Brunswick, and he has bad Brunswick in possession for some time past. Aujusta Reg. "SANTA CLAUS." Twaalh night before CLriinjiu, when atl tbro' the iJot a creature was stirring, not even k,rooaie.- fJ . The stockings were harrjr by the chimney with care, la the hope that St. Nicholas would todo be there. ; Tbe children were nestled all snug in their bed, While visions of sugar plums danced in tbeir headj, And mamma in ber kerchief, and I in mj cap, Had just eeftled our braius for a long winter' nap ; : Whea out on tbe lawn there rose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash. Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sasb. - ' The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow, ' Gave, the lest re of mid-ddj to objects below. When, what to rn; wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver so Hvelyand quick, I knew In amoment it must be St. Kick More rapid thau en e led hi j coursers tbey came, And be whistled aud shouted and called tbem by name; ''Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer, now Vixen, On Comet, on" Cupid, on Dunder and B'.ixeu, To the top of the porch I to the top of the wall I Now da.U ii way, dash away, dash away all 1" As 'dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys and St. Nicholas too. And then, iu a twinkling, I beard on the roof, The prancing and pawing of each little lioof; As I drew iu iny bead, and wag turning around, Down the chirr ner St.-Nicholas came with a bound. -.: lie was dressed all iu fur, from his bead to his foot, And his dollies were all tarnished w ith a9be- and soot, A bundle of toys were flung on his back, And he looked like a pedlar just opening hit pack; His eyes how they-twjnkled I his dimples how merry, His checks were like roses, bin nose like a cherry; His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of bis chin was as white as tbe snow; -The stump of a pipe be held tight Iu bis teetb, , And the smoke it encircled his bead like a wreath, He bad a broad face, and a little round belly, Tbat shook when he laughedlike a bowl full of jelly; He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I bud nothing to dread; He spoke not si word, but went straight to his work, And filled all his stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up tbe chimney he rof e. He sprang to his sleigh, to bis team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle; But I htard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night."

The general tone of the publ'io mind is still that of the most unabated' confidence in the success of the Confederate cause. A few people, however, in certain endangered localities, arc disposed to be gloomy; with natural human weakness they thiuk tbat if their districts should be overrun, then all will be up with the country and the cause. This will probably continue to be their impression until one of two events occur until the danger disap pears entirely, or until they find themselves stripped of everything which they possess in the world. In either caso the result will be pretty much the same; if they escape, they will be astonished to remember how a merely local cloud could throw such a shadow over the fortunes of the whole land; if they suffer, they will soon learn that the blow which prostrated them did not prostrate either the Government or the army, and in the resentment produced by their injuries, they will find that re-, soke out of which grows the most indomitable hope. The most sanguine people in the Confed eracy are now probably to be found in Atlanta; and we supposo them to be so, not because the contest has so far receded from that place as to sound in the ear of its citizens ''like thunder heard remote," but because those citizens have- just had the best possible demonstration that their city and their property are but drops in the great red ocean of this war, und they are consequently iu a condi tion to perceive how much is yet to be accom plished by the Federals before the cause can be said to be seiiously hurt. The despondency of our friends, who are here and there trembling for their goods and chattels, ought not, therefore, io trouble tis a great deal; we may rest assured that it is but a temporary affection, aud tbat, in the j course of a moon or so, they, too, whether rejoicing by then' unpolluted firesides, or grinoing their teeth over the ruius of their homes, will be looking back with wonder and mortification at the delusion which led them to confound their individual in terests with the destjny of a country as large aa half of Europe.
