GEN VANCE.—We have just learned that Col. Z. B. Vance has been appointed by President Davis, a Brigadier general in the Confederate Army.  This is the first conservative appointment made by the Government, to high position.  Our friend Vance has won it and will no doubt do honor to the post.—Raleigh Standard.
