Death of Governor Moskley. Gov. Wm.
D. Moseley died at Pilatka, Florida, on the 2nd
of Janunry. ,
He was born, says the Lake City Columbian, at
Moscliy Hall, Lenoir county, North Carolina,
about the year 1789, and emigrated to Florida in
1838. In the year 1813 he graduated with
distinction, at the University of North Carolina.
In his Class were James K. Polk, the Right Rev.
William M. Green, Bishop of Mississippi, Rev.
R. II. Morrison, D. D., the Hon Hugh Waddell,
and other gentlemen who, in their career siucc
they left the classic shades uf Chapel II ill, have
reflected honor upon themselves, their State and
their Alma Mater.
In the year 1828 he was elected a member of
the North Carolina Senate from the County ot
Lenoir, a position which he filled so much to the
satisfaction of his constituents that he was re-elected
for a period often years. t
The history of Gov. Moseley since his residence
in Florida is too well known to need comment. As
the first Governor of Florida under the State
Constitution, and in other positions of honor and
usefulness, he exhibited an administrative talent
of high order, blended with an untiring energy
of character and a clear and comprehensive
intellect.
He has lived to a ripe old age, and has been
gathered to his fathers, leaving behind a memory
of his deeds and noble traits of character which
will not soon be forgotten by the many friends
and acquaintances who survive him. Ex. Puper.
Although Governor Moseley has been absent
from this State a number of years, he always
manifested a deep interest in her welfare, as we
know by numerous letters received from hiiri
within late years.
Col. David Coleman. This gentleman ar
rived in Knoxville from the Rattle field, near
Murfreesboro', or Tuesday last. He was severely
wounded just below his knee in the right leg,
while leading l is regiment to a charge against the
abolitionists, his horse having been shot from un
der him a few moments before, and he was order
ed to this city until his wound ceuld heal.
Col. David Coleman, is one among the most gal
lai.t officers, in the Confederate States Array, from
No.th Carolina. He was born and raised in Ashe-
ville, Buncombe county, and his intrepid and dar
ing spirit is common to many of our brave soldiers
whose nativity and homes are in the Mountains
of the "Old North State." For intelligence, bra
very and genorosity, he has but few superiors; and
is as much at home in the Legislative halls of his
State; as he is in the tented field. His patriotism
has often been .rewarded with the confidence re
posed in him by his fellow citizens, in giving him
honorable positions of trust which he has ncvei
violated. Knoxville (7ena.) Register, Jan. H.
Jeyfirson Da VIP. Blackwood's Magazine
for September, contains a Ion biographical sketch
of the life of Jefferson Davis. It mainly describes
events, and is throughout highly complimentary.
The following is the concluding paragraph :
"But we fear, some time must elapse before
peace can be restored. The NoYlh is still uncon
vinced. It has an enormous stake in preserving
the Union. The question of boundary is a most
difficult one. Passions have been aroused which
act were exempt fmni its action, but those elected
or appointed to ofiice svtxrqnent to the passage of
the act would not be exempt.
Mr Lemmonds offered the following resolution:
It is the sense of this House that the Magis
trates now appointed ought not to be or an age
subject to the conscription act, which was unani
mously adopted.
When the list of counties was partly through
a message was received from the Senate with an
Engrossed Resolution, authorizing the Governor to
contract for one hundred thousand bushels of salt
at 58 per bushel
A motion wns made. to suspend the rules and
pass the resolution at once, but objection was made
ns the House was but partially informed on the
subject.
Mr Costner thought the price demanded was
high. Mr Cobb stated that he was informed that
the Governor would have to psure the works of
the contractors from the enemy, which would in
crease the risk considerably as the works were
situated near Wilmington.
Mr Amis wanted more information on the sub
ject. .
Mr Person, at some length stated his objection
to the passage of the resolution at present. The
State Commissioners for procuring salt can sup
ply it at 84 per bushel, and in some localities it
was sold including transportation at 6 per bushel.
Under these circumstances- he was unwilling to
pay S8. The contract. wftild amount to 5800,000,
a large sum, but the House did not seem to re-
gard the amount, for millions were too readily
voted away. The fact about insuring the works
at the risk of the State was another objection. If
the contract appeared a fair one upon further con
sideration, he would cheerfully vote for the reso
lution. Further discussion was postponed to Tuesday
Monday, January 26.
Senate. The following bills passed their third
readings: A bill to legalize certain acts of the
County Court of Lincoln ; a bill to authorize the
Governor to employ a messenger; a bill authori
zing the public Treasurer to employ a clerk to
sign bonds.
The resolution to clothe military prisoners at
Salisbury was then taken up. Mr Warren moved
to restrict the provisions of the resolution to citi
zens of North Carolina. Mr Graham said that he
thought the Confederate Government had no right
to arrest a citizen of the State and deny him. a
trial, as the writ of habeas corpus had not been
suspended throughout the State, though it had
been in the town of Salisbury. Mr Drakeioved
to amend by inserting, "after our troops are prop
erly supplied." Mr Murrill moved to add "those
prisoners who are unable to provide for them
selves." Mr Slaughter favored the proposition to
clothe the prisoners. Mr Patrick thought it im
possible to determine .who of the prisoners were
able, to furnish themselves as 4 hey were denied
communication with their friends or home. Mr
Murrill thought there was no such prohibition in
the Military prison at Salisbury.
Mr Ellis said he did not like to see these men
whose loyalty was at least suspected provided for
before our bravo troops. He demanded that the
troops should be first supplied. Remarks had
been made in regard to Captain McKoy, the mili
tary commander at Salisbury. He had said that
he had two hundred bayonets at his disposal to
enforce his authority. He would guarantee to
McKov a hundred thousand bayonets to uphold
his authority and would use one himself. Mr
Carraway opposed the resolution at length, be
lieving that charity commenced at home. The
Senate adjourned without action.
House. Mr Bynum introduced a resolution
that the Legislature adjourn sine die on Moaday
the 2d day of February, which was concurred
in. Mr Benbury, a bill to authoriae ths Gov
ernor to promote officers and men in the Regi
ments from the State, for gallant and meritorious
conduct. s
The House proceeded to consider the bill for
the relief of the iodigent families of soldiers in
the army.
An amendment to ascertain the number of in
digent families and the number of members of
each of such families was opposed by Mr Walscr,
who called for the ayes and noes. The question
being put the amendment was lost, by ayes 41,
noes 54.
Mr Walser proposed an amendment increasing
the amount appropriated to one million dollars,
Conservative Tactics. During the ap
pointment of magistrates, in the House of Com
mons on Saturday, when Forsyth county was
called, Dr Kerocr, one of its representatives, pre
sented a list con tainingfy-iro names. Objec
tion was made to this large addition to the mag
isterial list and enquiries made as to its neeessity.
After some debate the fact was admitted by Dr.
Kerner that the present list of

If so, new bouds will be issued thua endorsed,

tive Legislature! Raleiyh Journal.
RECONSTRUCTION.
The telegraph gives us an idea of the speech of
the.new Governor of New Jersey, iu his inaugu
ral. . Like Seymour and Vallatidigham, he goes for
reconstruction. This might be expected. Ae
soori as the Yankees have been forced to consider
the necessity for peace, they will of course seek
the best terms they can, and could they cajole us
back into ihe Union, it certainly is their poliey to
doo. That they cau exist prosperously without
the South we have nover believed, and their arro
gance has never allowed them until now to con
template a set irate existence. . They have preyed
upon us so loug that they have conoid red us as iu
fact subjugated commercially, and now that their
eyes are opening to their true situjtioi;, that of
dependence upon the South for the support of
their manufactures, it is reasonable that they
should talk of conciliation. Their pecuniary inter
ests are all they consider politically they value
no other principle, and have proved this by llfeir
conduct in the contcmp ible sacrifice of every thing
they once professed to recognize as principle.
Reconstruction! the idea is horrible to the
Southern ear. Is it within the bounds of pos
sibility for any Southern man to tolerate it I1 Shall
drsjlate hearths and homesteads destroyed by
the ruthless ir.vader be ignored? Shall mothers
and wives and daughters, insulted and grievously
injured, be forgotten? Shall our fathers and bro
thers and sons, lingeiing in cold, damp vaults, wi
le 1 prisons, be r.eglucted and left to the villainous
toitures of Lincoluism? Shall every principle dear
to the patriot, ignored and rejected by a fanatic
people, be set aside and abandoned, when we have
been struggling to defend them and fix them more
permanently? Liberty and independence forbid
it ! Wc have achieved our independence in the
eyes of the world, however alow they arc to recog-.
rnze it, and we intend to establish it on the basis
of equality with other nations, and no conciliation
with the depraved states of Ltncolndoni can ever
again be tolerated by a people determined to be
free.
A volume might be written on this subject, but
we forbear. If nothing else had occured if the
bloodshed and destruction of our roost valued citi
zens and their dearest rights--if the loss of pro
perty and persons could be restored, even then a
great gulf exists that can never be filled up. Lin
coln s proclamation destroying, as far aa in his
power, the confidential relations between the own-
. 1 a
er ana tne slave, can never dc atoned - lor in a re
construction Government. That proclamation
stands before the world as the final blow that sev
ered forever the late United States. It ia the cup
de grace of the late Union, and the tolerance of the
idea of reconstruction after that, would be the
death knell of our peculiar basis of existence as a
people. Let the Vnktes feel the necessity of V01"1 hjw, recently eicctc-1 to tLe
peace, and they will ere long find themselvea fore- i Lmted States Seoate fiom New Jersey, delivered

the Confederate Government will pay its interest
in specie. And still another reason iu connection
with this is, that if the Government pays out.
fpecie for interest on iu bondj, it wili require
taxes to be paid in specie. Those who hold the
bonds will have spre'e ei.ough frorQtbe intcrcatof
their bonds to pay their toxes, but other will
have to buy tha specie for the taxes, nt whatovcr
may be charged. As long as we hold Confederate
Bonds, we need not be afraid of taxes payable in
specie, but these who do not bold tbew are oun
stantly in danger. . .
I a, what I have said abore, I have gono on the
supposition only of the value of these boude while
the war lasts. The very moment we have peaco,
toiuo ns comparca wiin oincrs win pe greatly
enhanced. In truth,"every other kind of security
will then go down, and thoae bonds will ric. If
we had peace to-morrow, no one would Uko less
for Confederate Bonds than forty to fifty per ceaU
premium.
I will be glad at any time to give further in.
formation to any of iny constituents or othora. I
write the above becau I am satisfied that if the
citizens of this District knew tho advantage of
this investment, a large amouot will be added U
that already contributed.
