From the FajetUrille ObscrTC. G Oy." VANCE'S VISIT. On Thursday evening;, according to appointment, our excellent GoTernor larrived here, accorapariied by two members of his stafl,JIe was met near the town limits by the Mayor and Committee of Arrange ments and conducted to the Fayettevitle Hotel, where he waa received with cheers by -a-' large crowd of cit izens. The Mayor addressed to" him, a warm and heariy welcome to. our'towR, verjvappropriate in its matter and manner, to which the GoTtrnor respon ded briefly but appropriately and acceptably, making no long speech because, as he said,4ie had already spoken during the day two hours and traveled 38 miles. He alluded handsomely in. dosing, -.to the Klorion3 news ho, had heard on. his amvalliere, of the complete success of the expedition of North Carolina t-oops-underhat gallant North Carolina officer, Gen. Hoke, in the capture of Plymouth and its yankce garrison. Conducted .to. the parlors of the Hotel, many citizens and ladies called to. pay their respects, and wero. cordially received by"the listin guisbed guest, who had a warm grasp'.and a pleasant word for all who approached him. ' ' Friday was a gala- day in our town. Business was suspended ; crowds thronged the streets, frocutown,. count v. and neighboring counties Chatham, Moore, Robeson, iiladen, bampson, ana we Know noi now I many other 'Counties, being represented. On4 boy j 1 wac nmntpA out who had walked 28 miles to hear the was pointed out who bad walked 28 milqs to hear the Governor. v About half-past 11, when the Governor appeared X upon the stand and was introduced in a few appro ! nriate words by the Hon. Thomas C. Fuller, it was I supposed that there were assembled around him some three thousand persons, the .ladies being provided with benches and chairs, and the' masculines' stand- fng without weariness during the three following ' hours of intellectual entertainment, now highly de- lighted with the rich, touches. of. humor, each in it f self a telling argument, anon finding their eyes mois- - toned by an allusion to' the sufferings and desolation I inflicted ' upon 'helpless women and children by a. cruel enemy, and next t.heir teeth set witn aeterrai nation to rescue our. country from the tyrannous rule of such a hateful people. The crowd remained corn pad to the last, and the only regret was that there was a period to the enjoyrmnt. The Speech. Upon reflection we haye, concluded that it would scarcely be necessary to attempt any thing like a full report prihis speech, since it would be shorn of much of its beauty and point by any but a regular, practiced Reporter such as the one who did such full justice to the Wilkesborp' speech, and since it is said the Governor will make as thorough a canvass as his time and engagements vf ill permit, in the course of which the people of nearly all parts of the State will be enaMed to receive from. ; the Governor's own eloquent lips the words of truth and . patriotism and encouragement which he pours out ' from a soul abounding with great and patriotic im nulsos. $ . He commenced by acknowledging the compliment conveyed by the assemblage of such a great number of his fellow-citizens. It should be his ambition to prove himself worthy of their confidence. "As one of 44 the powers that be, which are ordained of God," he came to speak, earnestly and truthfully, of the state of our country, and of our "duties and respon sibilities. This is the crisis of our fate Before the now budding leave shall haye withered ajid fallen, our fate will be decided. This is the time of trial. It is easy to serve one's country in times of peace, and even when this war began and .every young man was ready to march, and greylnired men, and ladies, and boys, cheered, it was easy arid glorious. But enthusiasm never carried a nation through it's trials. Th& sufferings and privations of the succeeding three ypars have brought a need of a different spirit a brave, pure, unselfish patriotism, willing to act, to suffer, and even to die for the country. Having this spirit, we have nothing to fear. The veteran sol diers are brave and true, and willing to "encounter suffering and death. If the people remain firm and true, there i3 no room for doubt as to the soldiers. If you can endure suffering, in patient hope, we shall conquer. If you fail, the cause will fail, and de servedly fail when selfishness deserts a cause as sacred as onrs. Everybody wants peaco. The gray haired father and mother, weeping for their fallen sons ; the wid owed mother, gazing upon her chillren: the loving wife, anxious for the return of her absent and en dangere husband, all, all, want peace. People pray for it, the soldier fijrhts for- it the soldier never draws a trigger that is not for peace. How shall we secure the great blessing? Same say it is to be done by the Mate taking herself out of the Confed cracy: as she did out cf thus old Union. But this would not be peace, nor lead to -peace but to new and bloodier wars. The State has delegated to the Confederate Government the- sole right to declare war and make peace. While in the Confederacy, therefore, the State cannot make peace or negotiate for it. To do this, supposing Lincoln, were ready and willing to negotiate, the State jmust first recall the rights of sovereignty which she bas vested in the Confederate government. The only mode by which this can be done, is to secede again, to desert her co States and set up for herself. Would that be pcice, or brin peace ? It would be a fatal delu sion to suppose so. The Confederate gorernment would be no longer bound to assist or protect' the State the partnership would be at an end, the oth er Confederate States feeling that they had been basely deserted. North Carolina Wbuld be to the rest bf the Codfederacy nothing more than England or France. She would stand between one part of the Confederacy and the other, cutking it in sunder. It would be impossible, to keep from crossing her territory with, troops ana supplies. This would lead to war it would indeed be(an act of war. And then V.. ! X.-l U U-i . . r North Carolina, before shs could hav gotten out of the war with Lincoln, would have a new war upon her hands a war with her friends; and neighbors, identified with her interest and institutiens, and bound to her ,by the glories of a jhundred battle fields in which they had fought side by Side. It would Iks my duty; said the Governor, to issue a -proclamation to our soldiers, infofming them that our-oiaie had deserted her sistersf and that. theyj muck wuiC uume io ngnt against their brothers in arms. I will die before I'll issuessitch a proclama tion I . . j , J3ut if the State were to join Lincoln an ansup posafele case - that would not be peace. lHer sons would be forced into the yankee armies, her. treasure required by; taxation to support them. Is there a man who woold not prefer that hisj i8on should fall ' gloriously iri battling for our rights and liberty, rath er than to meet sutfh a dishonorable fate? To take the State out of Ihe Confederacy is the ' only thing thata Convention can.do niOTe than can, -be done by theXegislatuna, ! The 4ute cannot ne KJiwte until it is out of the Confederacy ; and every i thing -short of that the Legislature! can. do do as comPjet'J as a - Convention - ArConvcntipn:mav . adrisGthc Confederate government! to endeavor to make peace So can the Legislature, and 0 it no d;ubt will do,-and I will heartily unite with it in the recommendation. A Convention would. bcotcposed of the same materials, and in greatl part, doubtless, of the same tufin all alike fresh ! from th a ninl' and representing, their wishes. Why does any body. therefore, want a Conrention, in addition to the Leg islature which we have and, must have, unless wth a view to a'neir' -.secession?

' IX he knew, as much as.I da about the place, he might not be anxious to get it. Yet, as you took, me, from the army, and put me in it, I am willing, -, rjay, I confeES-Lam aiSxious to serve you in it for another term.L The Governor then.read a note which he had addressed to Mr. Holden some, days before leaving Raleigh for th s place, informing him cf his intention, toaccepV the invitatioir'to speak here, and.; desiring, that Mr. Holden should te present, as he should have occasion ta speak of him, personally and politically, and Jie prelerred to do that face to . facel He also read Mr. Hold en's Veply, declining to corns? to Fayttevillo, assigning different reasous for his courses from the one originally given -by bim. He is so onsidrate4hat he don't want tor takejhe people .freni their farms! ;'But suppose the people, want lo gor froo." their Tarms for. a;day"? have invited jme to meet you," showing that you do thus want to ga If you arc williog to listen and I to speak, is anybody to blame ? Besides, as I am to speak anyhow, you could have listened to him also, ' and" tJius .heard both without any additional loss of time. . , Mr. Holden says in his card, that he is not vain enough to hope to change any man's rote by speak. inr. Inuendo. Gov. Vance is thus vain. Yet it is - inc. muenao, vev. vance is mus vain, xei iv is all very well to issue the Standard occasionally on the sly for electioneering purposes. He does not wish to excite the 'people by haranguing "them.- Well, let bmvretire from the canvass and there will be no excitement He says, 44 my principles are well known.". '!. Are' they ? Vho knows them ? ; One may know what principles-he professed ten years ago, what different principles he professed five years ago, and what opposite principles he professed "Six weeks ago. But who can tell what changes they have undergone during these six weeks ? In 185& he was a rank secessionist declaring that the elec tion of Fremont would be cause for a dissolution of the Union ; but now he denounces those who were then secesionists. It is said he suspended his pa per for fear of being arrested since the habeas cor pus was suspended ; but this can't: be so, for he publishes it occasionally. It is said by his friends that his principles are for peace and Vance's princi pies opposed to it. When you hear, a man say that, look; him right in the face and say, 4Jira Jones, Zeb Vance says you are a liar and a scoun drel. But when you hear him say that Zeb Vance is for fighting rather than crouching like a dog at the feet of Abraham, tell him, that's so, stick to that." J- " The Governor next - eloquently stated and-dev ncunced the terms of peace offered by Lincoln. In consideration of the confiscation of all your proper ty, the emancipation of your slaves, your oaths to support all this, and permission to hang all military officers above Colonel and alt civil officers, 'he will graciously pardon the rest of you. I3 there any man here so degraded asto desire pa.ee upon such terms ? Branch, and Pettigrew, and Pender, and, Fisher, and Tew, and Anderson, and Carmichael, and thousands of other glorious, spirits have 'died rather than submit to such , degrading terms. And our living heroes will not submit to them. You will not submit to them. l am for prosecuting the war i which Mr. Holden helped bring on, for peace. I was opposed to se cession Mr. Holden advocated it and worked for ; it He it was who pledged "the last dollar and the last man." I became his endorser, entered the army to. payhis debt, and now he repudiates his debt and objects to my paying it! The Governor here illustrated this point by one of his singularly apposite anecdotes, of aman who built a mill with an overshot wheel, cut his canal to it,anddetermined to let on the full stream of water before things were ready, whUst Badger, and Graham, and Gilmer, and Brown, and Ruffin, and Morenead, and a host of other sensible an ti secessionists cried out, " don't Holden, don't, you'll smash everyth;ng to pieces." But Holden would'nt listen ; he let on the -water. broke the Union to pieces, and now, standing aghast at the ruin he worked,' swears that he didn't do it, but it was all the work of, those bloody 4l-Destruc tives." And he hates me because some of those who were his brother secessionists now support me! But Mr. Holden says he stands upon the same platfoi m a Gov. Brown of Georgia. The Governor .showed the falsity of this plea. Gov. Brown-and the Georgia Legislature do not propose any Convention, any separate Satate action, any new secession, as Mr, Holden does, but wish to obtain peace through the only constitutional channel the Confederate govern- ment. Gov. Brown js opposed to State action, Mr. Holden is for State action; yet they are upon the same platform I. So far from.Mr. Holden agreeing with Gov. Brown, the Governor showed by a corress pondence he had held with Gov. Brown, that as early as the 30th of December lasf he had made the identical suggestions to Gov. Brown in regard to peace and the habeas corpus that Gov. Brown three nicnths aftertvarde embodied in his Message, now so much lauded by Mr. Holden. He also rend letters to President Davis in which he .urged a new effort to open negotiations and expressed his strong repug nance to the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. His letter to Goy Brown was to ask hio to write to the President andurge similar vie ws, if he concurred in them. He was thus three months ahead of Gov. Brown in this effort for peace and the retention of the habeas corpus; yet, according to Mr. Holden, Gov. Brown is a patriot and statesman and I the. reverse 1 As to he. pretence, that the Governor was for the susnension of the habsds corvus. he had there an armful ot Starutards in which he was praised by Mr. Holden for his firmness in upholding the rights and , liberties of the citizen and the supremacy of the civil law. And he has not changed the views and. con duct which so excited the ad&iration of Mr. Holden. So far as he knew he was the only Governor or other public ofiicer who. interfered withthe President to preveat we suspension. - , . One of the richest portions. of the SDeech was the account the' Governor gave of Mr. Holden's conduct on Jhe occasion of the mob of his office last Fall. Our readers will -doubtless remember how valiantly toe standard iiaa jaarea any one to molest him he and his friends were ready for them, &c. &c " Well, the mob took possession of his office.; As soon as 1 heartl Of it, said the Governor, I went tearing up the: main street to the scene, whilst he was tearing down the back street to my house. He got into my house, entered my bed room, the family was. absent, arid r towered the gas..

He raid, 44 Why you went in. among the soldiers and the baycnets-I shall always be grateful to yon." He stuck to this about a month, which is as long ss -hV sticks to anything. : And shows his grtitude by charging me with corruption, , with running luxuries ihrangh the Jlockade 1 : Well, I have had some pres enU ol things that run the blockade, and among themV was this brandy which so revived him.

In the course of the, afternoon' the' Governor, by invitation of Cpl.,Childs, Commandant 6 the Arse nal and Armory visited that flourishing and most useful institution passing through the various shops where skillful artizanS were wielding the ingenious instruments by which the most irttrjeate mechanicat operations are performed, and the fmost beneficial military results attained.

" ' Yankee . Breakers ABAD.', The1 Dredictions and adaopitions contained w in the article from the New York Sunday Mercury, which we copy in this paper, are very suggestive and promising "to us. We have several times heretofore taken similar views of the dangers and difficulties which the' Yankee na tion has to encounter nert fall and" winter, -The prospect of a split and a revolution among the States still adhering to the old Union, a consequence of the", excitements and the results of their, coming Presidential election, is much more threatening than the prospect of secession by 'the South seemed in the spring of 1860. We repeat our conviction that an other revolution must attend J,he Yankee Presidential contest in 1864. The two parties.are evidently go, ing into it as a struggle for life or death, and any al ternative will be more acceptable to either than ac quiescence in defeat at the hands cf its rival. And even leaving out of view the exasperations and dis appointments of parties, as such, the novel questions sprung are such as have never tried American insti tutions before, and the triumph of the Black Repub licans must bring such a social revolution as no community claiming to be free could pass, through without, force. andVbloodshed -Our candid opinion is, that in a few months-more our gallant soldiers mav "hane up theirbruised arms for monuments" and enjoy the spectacle of such a " Kilkenny cat " atiair at the .North as nas not ocea wjtnessea in Christendom, for centuries.
