SAVED FROM TIIF GALLOWS" The Sentence of the Condemed Men Mordecai and Griffice Commuted to Imprisonment for Life. PREPARATION FOR CUTIOX. TIIE EXE- TIIE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE RE CEIVED ONLY ONE HOUR BE FORE THE APPOIN TED TIME. SCENEIN TIIE PRIS OXER'S CELL. AN INTERVIEW. Our last report of the interview with the condemned prisoners Simpson Mor decai and Tom Griffice,closed;at 3 P. M., Thursday evening. Later in the after noon they asked that ministers be sent them, and expressed a preference for the Reverends Hays and Sheppard, colored. The ministers7 came and the entire after noon was spent in devotional exercises. We visited the cell again yesterday morning and found the prisioners,as the evening previous, suffering the most ter rible agony. They had spent a sleepless night and seemed much jaded and de bilitated. Mordecai in foamed us that he was prepared to die and awaited the hour ot his execution with suspense. Griffice on the contrary said he was neither ready or prepared to encounter the awful realities of that unknown world, and seemed more deeply affected than Mordecai. At 9 o'clock, the jailor led them lrom the dark cell to the door ot the jail ior the blacksmith to cut oft the manacles from their legs, and when in this position an opportunity was afforded them of looking upon the gal lows; which only increased the agoniz ing groans and sobs of Griffice. Mordecai was unmoved by the scene, though he gazed intently on it during the time occupied in the work. They were taken back to the cell", when the families ot each came in to take the last farewell, alter which the clergymen who were to attend them to the scaffold wassent for. The jailor notified the pris oners that the hour was near at hand for the exccution,aud ordered them to dress for the occasion. A neat pair of black pants, white shut and stockings was given them. Everything was in readi ness for the excution, w hich was only one hour off. A lartre crowd, principal ly colored, had collected all around the jail and court house ; the sheriff's office was literally thronged with an anxious crowd of . visitors asking for cards of admission, newspaper reporters -with pencil and paper in hand were prising their way through the gate, .1 i. ' i . i . , auu every oouy seensea on tne tiptoe of excitement, as those who did nt biiuic, uviw uciieveu tuat the execution would take place. But all Were agreeably disappointed. At this, moment the Governor's Private Secretary,Col. J. B. Neathery, appeared at the fehenft s office with an order com muting, the death sentence to imprison ment for life. The scene that ensued in -the cell of the condemned men was one that beggars description. Deputy Sheriff Magnin, who conveyed the joy ful intelligence within, admitted the families of the prisoners. The clergy men and other friends participated in the general rejoicing of the prisoners. As soon as quiet was restored, a sumptu ous repast was brought in and tor the first time in three days these poor men enjoyed a meal. An interview with the prisoners after wards. gave us a correct veision (in our opinion) of the outtage for which these men were convicted. Mordecai says, On the night referred to Alfred. Bryant. Ma3on Brylan and Green came to my house where myselt and Griffice were sitting in the yard. They informed us that a little spree would take place that night at Adams' farm, and asked-us to go along and see the tun. We consented. Ou our way we halted at Hicks' store. When Bryant proposed to wake old Hicks up and get some whisky, 1 ob jected, Mason Boylan insisted upon doing so and knocked at the door, Bryant, Boylan and Green walked in as Mr. Hicks opened the dooi; Griffice and myself stood in the rear near the door Bryant called for two pounds ot meat, and as Mr. Hicks stooped to cut it off, Bryant struck the lick that felled him to the Moor. I thought he was dead, and ran away, leaving Boylan, liryant and Green stamping him on the floor. Griffice came off with me. We stopped at the creek bottom, about a mile from the house, when we were overtaken by the -party, who had several bags ot goods. Bryant remarked, 'we've finished old Hicks.' He gave Griffice and myself a small portion of the stolen goods." It will be remembered that Boylan and Bryant were used as btates evi dence and Green, we think. dischar"ed at the Magistrate's Court. The action ot Governor Caldwell in commuting the sentence ot the prison ers Imeets with almost general appro bation. The petition was very numcr ously sijined, including all the resident Ministers, and nearly all the city Bar They were taken to the Penitentiary yesterday evening; Improving, The Roanoke News of June 4th, has the following: "The many friends of Capt. W.MI. Day will regret to learn that there is a probability of his losing the sight of one ot his eyes. Some days ago a spark or cinder got into his left eye which has caused such irritation as to give rise to fears ot blindness in it. We sincerely hope such may not be'the case." Capt. Day was in our city several days and placed himself under the treatment of Dr. George W. Graham, who. we are pleased to learn, entertains strong hopes that no serious damage to the eye has been sustained. Capt. Day is improv ing and has already been considerably relieved under Dr. G'a treatment, y We were pleased to see in our office, yesterday, Hon. David A. Barnes, of Northampton. RALEIGH. N.

R. Al' bright, of the firm of Hutcheson & Co., whiskey and brandy distillers, at Gra ham, Alamance county, sent Major Ilearne, ot the Era, a cask of their "best." Says Major II. in his notice ot the reception : "The prtsent of Mr. 'Albright was very thankfully received, and good use will be made of it, forunhke Woodson would have done, the Editor of the Era sent the package home for family use." The Editor of the Era is exactly right for once in his life. We would have opened the cask in our office, asked our friends in to enjoy its contents with us, and would not have "sent the package home for "family use," from the fact that like the Editor of the Era we are a mar ried man of several years standing, and have no family as yet to "brag ou." Mrs. H. the number 2 ot the Era's Editoi's lamily is an enthusiastic advocate ot the "Friends ot Temperance," and number I, therefore had the whole cask to him self, drinks it by himsel.', all to himself. No, Woodson.would not have done that. Supreme Court. The Court met yesterday at 9 A. M. All the Justices present except Justice Boyden.

Under the aboe title I propose to pub lish first in newspaper, and subsequently in book form, a series of articles giving the war record of North Carolina lrom the elec tion of Lincoln in Nov., 1SG0, to the close of tne war oetween tne (states m jiay, ioa. Mv plan embraces three divisions: 1st. Accounts of each skirmish and battle on the soil, or upon the wattisof North Carolina. 2d. Accountsof every battlefouehtdurin the war on the soil of any State, in whieh anv of the trooDS of North Carolina took part especial care being taken to show what those troops did and guttered in each of those battles, and what glory and re nown our officers and men fairly won, 3d. "A Southern chart, for all time." An explanation of the third division of the proposed plan will be submitted at a later day. That I may successfully accomplish this arduous, but pleasing self-imposed work, I invoice the aid of all my brother soldiers, and ask them to furnish me material which can be arranged and digested so as to form a complete record of the heroic deeds or the sons of North Carolina upon the battle fields of the Confederacy; and especially do I ask all who can wrbte to mrnlsli rnede tails of every battle in which they partici pated, and the part borne by their imme diate commands. The time may not have come to write this portion of North Carolina's History; but it has come to collect material and ar range it for the use of the future historian. The living actors will soon pass away, and much valuable imformation, unless gather ed now, will be lost forever. Hence, after waiting for several years for someone-more competent to undertake the task, I have determined to devote the remaining years of my life to this labor icf love. I yield to none in love for my native state, or in admiration for the gallant men who have shed imnerishable glory upon her. J prefer to give these accounts first in news paper form, in order thatomissTOns and er rors, if any occur, may De pointeuour., ana corrected before the work shall pass into the more enduring form, which it will as sume should it prove what I desire to make it. a valuable acquisition to the war record of the South, several of the prominent actors in the war hve already promised their co-opera-t inn nd the valuable aid of their pens to lessen mv labors and to make the workr eomnlete. and I hone to enlist an army of valuable co-laborers in the good cause as readiivasdid North Carolina enlist her sons tofiszhtthe battlesof the "Lost Cause." (ieneral officers from other States who commanded North Carolina troops, are re S "10.! to Vhe . lVk infrtr. conduct and btarina of those troops. In endeavoring to do justice to the sol diers of mv native State, I certainly shall most carefully abstain from doins injustice to tnose rrom any otner. Mv brethren of the nres3 will confer a fa vor by giving the whole, or such part of this Prospectus as iney may deem proper, one or more insertions, calling attention thereto.

STEPHEJN L. fUUL, late Colonel 10th Regiment, N. C. S. T. JUNE 7, 1873. TEJjEGIUII'IIIC JTEirS. NOON DISPATCHES? Decision of the Secretary ol the Treasury in Kegrard to claims for Cotton Seized after June30tn, 1865 Washington, June 6tb. The law directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the net proceeds of cotton un lawfully seized after June 30th, 1865, was approved May 18tb, 1872. and it is required that all petitions should be filed within' six months thereafter or on or before November 18th, 1872. Many petitions which had been duly signed and sworn to, and placed in the mail before November 18th, did not reach Washington untiralter that date. They were however, sent to""the Secretary ol the Treasury and recorded -as of the date when received. In reply-to an inquiry and argument of the pointin volved, whether in two important cases so filed the petition would be re- garded as hied in time, the Secretary has given the following decision; u reasury Department, j Washington, D. C, ' June 4th, 1873. J. Madison Cutis. Esq., AVr. of L. D. Henderson, et al., Washington, D. C. Sir. I have received your letter of May 24th ultimo, requesting to be in formed whether the claims of L. D. Henderson and Lucy A. Hopkins, filed by you as Attorney on the 22nd day of November, 1872, under the provisions ot the act of May 18, 18G2 will be con sidered as filed within the time limited lereiui' viz, within six montli3 after the passage of the act. In" answer, I would say that after carelul considera tion of the subject and of the matters suggested in your leter, I am of the opin ion that no petition or claim, under the act, which Was not received in the Treas ury Department on or before the 18th day of November 1872, can be regarded as having been filed within six months after the passage of the act and that any such claim received in the Department after November 18th, cannot be consid ered by the Secretary of the Treasury. .Respectfully (signed,) W. A. Richardson, Secretary of the Treasury. It is the opinion of the best informed lawyers here that the time lor filing pe titions, both in cottDncases before the Secretary, and for stores as supplies be fore the Commission of Southern Claims, willoundoubtedly be extended by the next Congress. The above decision irnishes a strong argument in favor of such extension in cotton cases, as the six months given by the statute was manifestly too short a time to enable Southern claimants, exercising all dili gence and despatch, to file their peti tions. It is to be observed that the Southern Claims Commission did re ceive petitions which reached them after March 3rd,' 1873, provided they had been mailed, signed and sworn be fore that date. But their decisions f. rz The Secretary i being authorized to pay money on his own decision has decided to follow the more rigid con struction of the statute. His decision is not adverse to the interests of cotton claimants, since it will involve and almost compel the- lurtber legislation which will be sought. -r "" The Oregon Volunteers.

Dr. Reid, Presiding Elder Greensboro District, Methodist Church, died in Wentworth this morning at half-past eight. M. Rev. Numa F. Reid, D. D., of the North Carolina Conference, was one of the ablest and most distinguished di vines in the State. He has been in fee ble health for some months, caused by over exertion ot his mental and physical powers. He was learned and eloquent and wielded a great influence for good. Dr Reid was about forty-six years of age, andT was a son of the late Rev. James Reid, of Franklin. He was cd- ucated at Emory Henry College, Virginia, and was at one time a Tutor at that institution.

Baltimore, June 6. In the United States Circuit Court this morning, the jury in the case of Eliza M. Goss, against the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company, to recover five thousand dol lars on life policy issued by defendant on the liie of the plaintiffs husband, returned a verdict for the full amount for the plaintift. It was alleged that W. S. Goss, husband of the plaintift,was burned to death in his work shop near this city in February, 1872, while ex perimenting with fluid, as a substitute, for India rubber, at the time the shop was entirely consumed, and a body of a man wastaken from the wreck with limbs and face burnt off, but chest andhead were pre served. Goss had policies on his life in the New York Mutual Insurahce.Com- pany, tor $5,000 issued in 1803, in the Continental Life Insurance Company, $5,000, in the Knickerbocker $5,0001 and in the Travellers Insurance Compa ny $10,000. The Life premium was refused on the ground that the death of Goss had- not been proved: that the body found after the fire was so mutilat ed that it could not be recognized; that it was not the body of Goss, and there was reason to suspect Iraud. Suit was then brought against the Mutual Lite Company as a. test case, and the verdut rendered as above. The case was on trial eight; days1 before Judge Bond. The plaintiff and defendent were repre sented by the ablestcounsel and oth ers, the Companies had counsel present and Dental experts were examined as witnesses.
