Tho "pid North State" has timo and again given unmis takable; evidence, that she has never been on the best of terms with Jiff. Davis nnd j the fire-eaters. Disintegration in that State goes on with greater Velocity than had been expected by thoso who were familiar with th elements of ehnructer which go to form the good old " North State." Her antag onism to the Culhounism of South Caroli na, and her repulsion from tho haughty and contemptuous nristocracy of tho latter Slu'c, together with tlio great number of middle clan and " poor" whiles comprised in her population, have nlwuys tended to lorce her into secession from the Confeder acy, us a firpt step towards the restoration of the old Union, nnd the signs nrc now that North Carolina will soon resolve her self buck into tlio old Union. The Ra leigh Simula) d says the experiment of u Southern Confederacy is a failure, entreats the Stato to send Commissioners to Wash ington to make conditions for n return to the old Government, and defiantly chal lenges tho Confederate authorities to at tempt its suppression. Gov. Vance tells rebel citizens of the State that ho cannot protect them fiom tlio 20,000 native Unionists who huvc banded together in Must Tennessee nnd Western North Carolina, unit who arc now renting the rebel conscription and inti mating that they will join the Union forces as soon as a post is established at Raleigh. Tho Governor ulso vows that lie will pro tect certain conscripts from Jill". Davis, and from his entire tone ono can see that his nntugoni.sin to tlio Confederate authori ties is strong an.l bitter. Tho Union forces ure in possession of a belt of country in Eastern Northern" Caro lina .'100 miles in length, by 1 50 miles in width, together with her great inland seas nnd rivers, reaching into the heart of tho Stale, also into Virginia. On these wu ters the largest class gun-boats arc con tinually coursing, which prevents the con struction of fortifications. Hence it is very apparent to all that so long as the Federal Government is allowed to hold possession of this vital region, which con tains (lie most extensive inland waters in the country, there can be no permanent so cession of North Carolina, or evtn Vir ginia Let Gen. Mcado destroy or capture Lee's army, und then thu "Old S'orlh Stato" will joyfully return to tho old Union, from which she was unwillingly driven, und close in her wako will follow ult of her "wuvwurd sisters."

A letter dated at Fred crick. Md., July 8th, contains the following: Tho popularity of General Meado with the army and people bids fair to equal that or McClellftii. llu is not yet known pcron ally to the army, Rnmo of the Rrlgndier.?, oven, not having formed his intimate ac quaintance. His nnmo. however, Is resound ed on all sides with eulogy and eiithusla-m. At lat a leader Iiiih como wormy oi uie confidence or a noble army. As General Meado rode through Frederick yesterday af ternoon it was whispered about from neigh bor to neighbor ; soldiers conveyed the news to brother soldier, nnd anxiety followed surprise. Tho feeling of natural curiosity which Impells us to go out of our way oven to look upon n dlstingiilghed man was In dulged in by citizen and soldier alike. Ho; stopped at the United Status Hotel, and was soon visited by a deputation of the ladles ol tlio city. On being presented, wo men's feelings wero expressed in wo man's style. " God bless you, General," they would say, and with emphasis that showed tlio wolds Issued from tho heart. They asked him to accept their bouquet and wreaths in token of the patriotism of Frederick. ' I thank you," said General Mcado,'' not for myself, but for my soldiers; thev have won thu victory and to them be long thu .laurels." General Meadu turned to his stair olllcers. and to General I'ember ton. renriiktd, in tlio prcoiiec of the Indies, " Ono of these for you. lMeasauton ; not on ly n brave, but a bachelor." General Mcado shook the ladies nil by tho hand, and ex expressed tho pleasure ho felt ut meeting them. General Meado Is exceedingly nfllablo in conversation, easily approached, apd of lively, engaging manner. Willi no out ward pretentions to superiorly, hu preserves a dignity which i uoticuhlo beneath hi careless exterior. Ills form is gaunt and thin, Impressing the idea of bodily tenacity rather than Hlrcngh, mid a capacity to en dure that wu would not predict of a more robust and invincible figure. His high-top boots and looso blouse aro bespattered with mud, and, wero It not for his shoulder straps and intelligent face, it would bo dillcult to distinguish that he was not u private in the ranks. Jlis lace is ulmie-t coveted Willi hcuid. and his neck displays a leather stuck that might have been used in the days of his unccsters. Ho is ollierwlso collarless. Ho Is ghastly palo, with thought, study and anxiety marked upon every lineament. His mind speaks through his eye, mid tells you at a glance that before you stands a man who is equal to any responsibility, and not alruid (o meet it In any shape. His nou Is of thu untiquo bend, mid is tho most prominent featuru of thu face. Ho nppears ti restless and nervous man. quick to move, but not so quick that celerity would des troy steadiness. When addressed ho turns suddenly upon his heel, und Is all attention. Tlio more you see ol him tho more you like him. Thu army of thu Potomac has known him only two weeks, and ho is their idol. TltKATMKXT OK Till! VlCKSIIIIItll l'lIISOX- Kiw. A correspondent of tho Missouri Dem ocrat, under dnto of July fith, thus speaks of thu treatment received by tho prisoners, from tho Federal soldiers, after tho surren der of Vicksburg : There has been yesterday and to-day a very general expression of surprise among the rebels at what they stylo tho gentle manly manner of their Inukco captors. Nothing has been dnno or said to humlllato them. Our men. while conversing with them, invariably admit that they have made a most gallant defense of Vicksliurg, nnd carefully refrain from any jeering or taunting re marks. Their necessities and tho hardships which they have evidently undergone, seem to exclto sympathy or pity among our men, and they vie with one another us to who shall placu their late enemies under grcaloU obligations. All tho many hundred sly ways or dodging orders to prevent the sale of whisky arc resorted to. and tho rebels aro getting occasional nips of something better than tho Louisiana ruin for which they Imvo been paying Irom $10 to S1Q0 per gallon. A drink of whisky will sot ten a rebel heart belnro anything else in tho world, let mo remark by tho way, and I almost think the rebellion could bo put down by shedding it profusedlv, Instead of shedding blood. Tho privilege given tho olllcers to retain their personal etl'ects, sido arms, and ono horse apiece, if they aro mounted ollicers by regulation, and tho prospects of several days, of Federal rations among tho men, to gether with tho universal politeness and kindness which they did not expect from us, Imvo completely won tho hearts of our ene mies. It seems strange that men who, two days ago, dared not show their heads ubovc tho embankments behind which wo wero stowed, for fear wo should send u shower of Mlnio balls that way with deadly intent and aim, and who never lost an opportunity to send messscugers of death for us, should now bo seen walking about tho streets, and over tho hardly contested ground, in pleas ant and social Intercourse, but so it is. And wu Imvo hero a strong circumstance with which In confute tho proposition that there is an irrecoucilablu hatred between the North and tho South. If theso men, who have been so eagerly seeking each other's lives, can lay aside and repress all the promptings of personal roveugo and private animosity, and treat tho quarrel iu which they been lighting as a purely public ono that should nut Interfere with personal friendship, why should wo apprehend further dilllculty when the force of arms has decided tho issue be tween the two sections of tho country t mi "- .wm Tiik Ixkidki, Dutch." This is tho ex pression used by l'ollard, of Ulchmoud, In his Southern history of tho wnr, and t-hows how unspeakably tho rebels lovo the Ger mans who have been so prominent, and elli clout iu whipping tho rebels into obedience. That history, at pago VI, says : " Tho West wis as violent as tho North or Hast. In tho States of Iowa and Wiscon sin, among tlio inlldel Dutch, no relu was thrown upon their wild fanaticism," Sum titer Evening.
