Governor Vance, in a recent speech, stated that General Lee depends upon North Carolina for the support of his army. He dwells npon the importance of keeping the railroads of this State in good condition, on the ground that Generul Lee could not remain in Yirgiuia forty-eight hours after they fail. The Wilmington Journal says that the statistics of Ijlockade running ibr the past year show that on the average only one out of twenty have been cdptured. The report of Governor Vance 'showing the amount of rebel supplies received'througli this blockaded port, discloses a most startling state of things. Everything the enemy could ask for is received through this channel in great quantities.

No special bearer of despatches fom Day ton has arrived here, nor is there any ground for the absurd rumors buit on this supposed fact. The Danish engineers have discovered an ingenious and simple contrivance for keeping their opponents exposed to a heavy fire, by a sort of invisible fence made of strong wire, supported at stated distances by timber posts inserted in the ground. It must take, at all events, some precious minutes to overcome this obstacle, during which the attacking troops would be open to a destructive fire without any shelter.

Firing was heard all yesterday along our lino but was supposed by many to be merely artillery practice. This morning, however, tiring was heard iu the direction of Dumfries, aud it sounded as though there were some skirmishing going on there. Hereafter deserters from the rebel army coming within our lines are not to bo com mitted to pnion if they prove to be bona fide deserters, but will be dismissed tpon taking the oath of allegiance, furnished with transportation to the North, or employed on the various fortifications.

There are 43 counties to be heard from which will fully five thousand more votes, ine new state Constitution named by the lute Convention, was almost unani mously ratified, there being so far only 137 votes against it.

On Wednesday of last eek a man in the U.S. uniforni was found dead in the eddy of the Susquehanna, near Forty Fort. The head was badly bruised and the breast had marks of violence. From the fact of the nose being uninjured it as inferred that he hnd not fallen upon his face but had met with foul play and been thrown into the river. On MoiHlay morning another body of a U.S.

soldier was found drowned in the same eddy. We since learn that a letter found ou this last body was dircted to "Edward Crawford, Invalid Corps, Trov, Bradford Pa." Both soldiers had on the Invalid Curps uniforms. No murks of violence were on the lost one, but both had been in the water some time. iriMvaWr Timti.

Why, nothing more or less than to commit acts of lawless violence upon the Tery men who aided in protecting them in their rights as ritizens for the article referred to does not apvise retaliation upon the soldiers, but upon the leaders of the Union party. Such is the doctrine of men who would disgrace the memory of Jefferson and Jackson by calling this democracy. CSTnu Bounties. The proclamation! of the President, just issued, calling for the service of the navy, and a reserve corps of 100,000 more troops, extends the period fot which the present heavy bounties for volun tceering will be paid to the instead of the 1st of April.

A number of the States have already completed their quotas under former calls, and doubtless it has been deter mined by the Government to make "this extension, the better to avail of the machinery now ia use for recruiting, so that as many us possible may be added to tho army up to the new period, (15th April,) and all overplus enlistments to fill up previous quotas will then bo allowed towards the new call. It is to be hoped' that all interest, (as every man, woman and child in the State will use their exertions to fill up the ranks ofthe army to the fullest extent re quired of tno government, mere is no time fixed for the draft, after the 15th of April, but it will take place as soon as it can bo determined the number that each ward, town or district is to furnish. Thus, Sf the whole State's quota is provided, there will be no draft in that State if any county or city furnishes its quota, there will be no draft in that county or city. But if there is a deficiancy, and any Bard or district 16 found to have furnished its proportion, such ward or district will be exempt, and the draft will be made upon those only which have not furnished their proportionate number of the quota. This, wc think, will be found to be the rule of action upon which the drafting officers will act.

The Administration has been charged with dilatoriness heretofore, in not having a sufficient force in the field to crush out the rebellion, but this charge will not hold good hereafter. A New Dodge to Defeat the Amesd. xiE5T op the Constitution. Allowing Soldiers to Tote. The amendment to the Constitution allowing the soldiers to vote passed the house of Representatives, on Wednesday finally.

Thai Democrats, with but two exceptions Messrs. Boyer and Hice voted for the first amendment, but when the second amendment came up on final passage, every Democrat, except Mr. Marshall, voted against enfranchisement of the soldier. i If the seeond amendment had been defeated, the whole proposition would have been lost. The Constitution plainly provides that in order to amend that instrument, such amendments must pass the Legislature at two consecutive sessions without amendment ok toe least alteration.

If the amendments had been changed or abridged, tho whole schemo would have failed, and the soldier would not have been allowed to vote. We append the yeas and nays oti the final passage of the second article, which will show conclusively where the Democrats stand. Preserve this record, so that you can convict them when they deny that they are the enemies of the Soldier. The yeas and nays were required and were follows, viz: Teas Messrs.

The efficient manner in hich these rioters were met by the strong arm of the nation, showed to all of those who desired to participate in such outbreaks, that tho Govern ment was strong, and as determined to mete out the justice due to home rebels as it was to those in Dixie and such a sccne-as that presented in Now York last summer will not be likely again to occur, ine lawless acts of a few soldiers, maddened by intoxi cation a supposed sympathy for. the Rebels, or a feeling of animosity against themselves, or whatever the cause may have been, they destroyed printing office, which lawless act, universally regretted throughout the com munity, affords Vallandigham a text upon which to write a most virulent and insur rectionary epistle. 15?" Snow Stobm. The most violent snow storm of the season occurred in Phila delphia on Tuesday night.

The wind howled terrificly during the night. In the morning the snow was about six inches deep, and we were advised not to leave the city as the trains would most probably be delayed in getting through the snow drifts. In market 6treet the freight cars were blocked with snow and detained the passenger trains an hour, but as we advanced towards the Susquehanna there was less and less snow, and when we reached Lancaster scarcely any was visible, Messrs. E. Y.

Mr. Bright has been one of our most enterprising men, and has put up, besides a foundry and machine shop, quite' a number of buildings during the past six years, which pay well as an investment.

S. Commission, Washington, has in I tnree yeare amountcu to nooui one nuiuuu dollars, of which tho Pacific coast, has given three-quarters. It would be well for those on the Atlantic coast, who sometimes question our economy, to consider fact Fifteen-sixteenths of this amount is expended for supplies and transportation the other sixteenth goes into the support of its homes, its lodges, its machinery of distribution, its hospital and camp inspection. Supplies purchased are such as country homes do not supply such as Condensed milk, by the ton. Beef stock.

The Boards of the Sanitary Commission, consisting oj Treasurer, Medical Committee and Standing Committee, give their services and their time gratuitously.

They receive nothing. Their traveling expenses alone are partly refunded them and, these are trifling, except the case of one or two, who go frequently on tours of observation. The Commission supports twenty-five Soldiers' Homes or lodges, scattered over the whole field of war, from New Orleans to Washington including Vicksburg, Memphis, Cairo, Chattanooga, Nashville, Louisville, Washington, Twenty-three hundred soldiers per day are taken care of in these homes. Multiply 2,300 by 865, and you will get a faint idea of the number of men thus relieved. Three other agencies to secure the soldiers' rights are sustained by the commission.

1. A claim Agency to secure his bounty 2. A Pension Agency; 3. A Back-pay Agency. Often $20,000 back pay is secured in one day.

A Hospital Directory is also sustained, by which the whereabouts of the sick men is worth a million, if human anxiety can be estimated in money. The Commission also has sixty hospital inspectors, constantly in the fiicld. They also have hospital cars on the main roads east and west, along which sick soldiers -are carried. They also supply the hospitals with daily car-loads of supplies from the principal markets- The cost of distributing supplies is less than three per cent, The battle service of the Commission re quires large funds and supplies. At Mur-trcesboro, Antietam, Gettysbueg, Chattanooga, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, sndden and vast demands were made.

Grant is expected shnrtly to take active command of the Army of the Potomac, thus following the practical example set by Napoleon at one time with his army in Italy, and at another with his army in Germy.

General Grant's modesty ami self-containing in the midst of great success, his quiet, habitual energy and constant good sense, entitle him to the respect and faith of the nation. Every step ill his career has only better revealed his keen intellect and clear military sagacity, and to say that he is a safe general is not the least or the most that can be said of him. Whatever be his future, nothing can blot out the genuine record he has already made inpnticnt, but brilliant years of strong trial. When he takes hold of what Hooker's generous enthusiasm termed "the first army on the planet," perhaps his greatest work and his great et.t competitor will be before him, but he will have his own renown, a large army, and tho Htiong practical sense which has guided him ir every field, to secure victory again. The Army of the Potomac has endured its defeats as nobly as the armies of tne West have borne their victories.

Good and earnest, sound and whole-hearted leaders of corps, divisions, and brigades, acting under the eye of a commander-in chief ho has full power and unquestioned discrimination, should make the future succefs of this brave army worthy of its years uf trial. Gen. Grant will have his first and chief support in that brave, faithful, and able soldier, Gen. Meade, who has brought the army to its present increased degree of effi-ciencv. From MeiuplilH.
