Theeeenditiou of Florida.
Mr. B. C.. Truman, the correspondent of
the N. Y. Times, writes to tht paper, some
very.interesting_letters relative to affairs in
Florida. We make the followingsextittailiNi I ;
The Constitution of the State, as amended,
is excellent indeed, and in my opinion pre- I
cents no objections whatever. The best men
in the State were selected for the perform
ance, of which they are the recipients df the
State's and nation's gratitude. They mani
fested no evasion or double-dealing, and in
the place of gloom and despondency we hail
a creation - of confidence andhope. Too much
praise,in this connection,cannot be awarded
the Provisional Governor, William Marvin,
- whose course for the past few months has
been eminently satisfactory to the people of
this S L !, 17 1 , and,l doubt not, acceptable to the
Gene a 'Government. The course of the
State, p the whole, will elicit the admira
tion of the President and the great mass of
his friends and supporters, who will view
her conduct as praiseworthyand commend
able, while her sister States, who have been
less hearty in their reciprocations for the
President's magnanimity, will embrace her
with none the less ardor on account Afar
own excess of grief and mortificatio
In conclusion, let me say that Mot.' a, s
oially and politically, has been put upon
basis that will insure- the completest free
dom to all. The convention has -shown a
front in the restoration of its legitimate ex
istence as a State within the States which
indicates a disposition. to dignify laboi,edu
eate the masses, and make color no test of
complete citizenship, with the exception of
thb guard which it is deemed judicious, at
least for the priisent, to' throw around the
exercise of ' the right of suffrage.
In other words, Florida has stepped forward
nobly and bravely, and accepted the issues
of the war, with all their sweeping charac
teristics.
The State is now under civil law again, as
will be seen by the following, faesarailes of
which have been issued in all the cities of
Florida:
FURADQUARTEES, POST OF JACKSONVILLJ3,
FLA., DISTRICT OF EAST FLORIDA, JACK
SONVILLE, Nov. 25, 1865.—Circular.—By
authority. of His Excellency Gov. Marvin,
Provisional Governor of the State of Flo
rida, and under
_instructions from Major
Gen. J. G. Foster, commanding the Depart
ment of Florida, civil law has been restored
in the State of Florida, and all civil officers
in the State who were discharging the duties
of their respective offices preiions to or
during the month of May, 1865, have been
ealled upon to resume the functions of their
offices, with the following exceptions, which
are to be under the control of the military
authorities, viz : Rape, murder, manslaugh
ter, arson, burning of cotton, gin or other
outhouses, assault and battery with intent
to kill or commit rape, unlawful and riotous
assemblages requiring a military force to
„suppress them, robbery, burglary, and of
fences committed by the military forces.
Under the foregoing authority, as cited, I
do hereby declare and make known, that
the city of Jacksonville, Fla.,is placed un
\ der the control, and under te operation of
civil law, and the civil officers of the city
who were discharging the duties of their
respective offices previous to, or during the
month of May, 1865, are invited to resume
their duties, and to pass and execute such
laws and regulations as may be deemed
necessary for the good government of the
oity, having at all times a due regard to the
exceptions enumerated. As commander of
the post of Jacksonville, and of the District
of East. Florida, a cordial support will be
given to the civil law by the military au
thorities, and all citizens are earnestly in
vited to render their hearty co-operation,
and thus give to the city its former enter
prise, prosperity and security.
JOHN T. SPRA.GI6I3,
Col. 7th Inf., U. S. A.,
Comdg. Post of Jacksonville, Fla.,
and District East Florida.
It will be seen by the above that
_Gov.
Marvin' very judiciously leaves the authors
-of all great crimes to the mercy of the
I find more real bona
.fide loyalty and
earnestness in this State than in any which
I have yet visited. The calm, dignified and
intelligent manner in which the stern logic
of events has been accepted and acted upon
by the convention, has been infuSed into
the thinking and intelligent portion of the
people, and is perfectly electrifying in its
-effects. On the general results of the issue
I find but few murmurers; not that the
people are stupefies into apathy or stoical
indifference, but because they are deter
mined to adapt themselves to circumstances
—to be up and doing,, "with a heart for
any fate"—resolutely to set to work and
einve out a high and bright destiny for
themselves and their country, "with heart
within and God o'er head," thus exempli
fying themselves; as they claim to be, a
noble people—noble in all the best and
grandest attributes of nobility.
Loyalty means adherence and obedience
to a government, with no hostile intention
ar purpose against the same. There are
not ten men in Florida who entertain the
least symptoms of hokility against the
-government. But, as a general thing, the
people are more than loyal. Some are
patriotic in many particulars, and are doing
their utmost to bring about complete
harmony and chill bad temper, and to give
all the privileges to the freedmen with
which they have been provided by the con
stitution. a a a a
There are two very good reasons—in fact,
three—why Florida appears so well. One
reason is, all of the officers appointed by
the President are Union men, and never
held office under, or countenanced in the
least, the authority of the so-called -Con -
Xederate States. Besides this, all of the ap
pointments made by Governor Marvin were
judicious and praiseworthy. With, the ex
ception of Judges of Probate Courts, &c.,
most of his appointmenis were new men,
-and men of strong loyal antecedents and
:State prominence. Another reason for
Florida's good conduct is the administra
tion of affairs, as carried out by aGovernor
Marvin ; and the third reason is the pa
-triotic course of the newspapers all over
the State.
In the first place, William Marvin, a
prominent Jude of the Court of the South
ern District of Florida, was appointed Pro
vision Governor. He ardently opposed se
cession in all its nefarious and attractive
-shapes, and was to be stretched up in con
sequkuce. 'Samuel T. Day was appointed
by the President as, receiver of public
~moneys; M. A. :Williams =was appointed
register of public land.s for the Unite&S Wes,
or .Florida. All the Collectors of Customs
'were, men of character and influence.
• Taran Moody is the Collector, of Customs at
•St. John's, and Lemitel Wilson is the As
septa. of -Internal . Revenue for the State of
Florida. Every one' ofi these gentlemen
not only opposed seces§ion with great ye
,henience, and at the risk of personal injury,.
but :they remained true to the last, and
consistently defended the policy of our go
-vernment in it§ attempts to crush treason
amid conquer peace.
In the second place, vvo cannot too fully
appreciate the course of Gdvernor Morton
in his administration of State affairs. In.
Ins first proclamation to' the people he in
formed them that, although, in the opinion
of the President and, the great majority of
the people at the North, the State had not
been out of the yet ii had placed
itself in a rebellious attitude, had been con
quered by the armies of the United States,
and was liable to all thepenalties of treason,
such as military law, confiscation, dr..c.,
He explained to the people the policy of the
Tresident, and what was expected of them,
and - advised them to look well into and
understand fully the situation. At the
same time he gave the military full ppwer,
did away with all manner of civil law and
held a`stiff rein in the State premises gen
erally., -Presently he called an election of
delegates' and appointed the • day for a
. ,
convention. Before . the convention as
sembleda made a tour, of the State and
spoke in severalof the most important
'faces in 'ddle and .V.litern Florida. He
tri
t.ok the '"ball by the horns," to the great
consternation ofnarrow-minced politicians,
and to the disgust of the "croakers" and
. ,e ignorant massesgenerally, and informed;
hib hearerlfi in every speech that he made
that, as the slaves were free,. they must be
invested With all the rights of freemen, with
the exception of the right of suffrage; that
hereafter slavery in no form could exist in
Florida, and that not only the emancipated
slave, but all persons of color should be
allowed- the. right to give testimony in
courts, and should also be protected in all
their rights and claims of person and pro
perty.
The consecience was that the convention
met and incorporated all this in the new
constitution of the State of Florida, thus
preventing all future ' , legislatures from
meddling with the matter in the least. Up
to the present time no seceded Statd has
made such provisions for its colored inhab
itants even in its legislatures, although all
the conventions made it the duty of, their
Legislatures to make such provisions for
the freedmen (not all persons of color) "as
shall guard the State against the evils of his
(the slave's) too sudden emancipation."
The question might, with propriety, be
asked, "To guard against evils, will not the
legislatures pass laws which, in effect, may
re-enslave the negro?" This thing is settled
forever in Florida, for the following appears
in the Constitution of the State.
Aim= XVI.--GENERAL PROVISIONS.
"Whereas slavery has been destroyed in
this State; therefore, neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude shall exist in this State,
except as a punishment for crimes, whereof
the party shall have been convicted by the
*smarts of the State, and all the inhabitants
of the State, without distinction of color, aro
free, and shall enjoy the rights of persons
and property without distitiction of color.
"In all cri ml nalproceedings founded upon
injury to a colored person, and all cases
affecting the rights and remedies of colored
persons, no person shall be incompetent to
testify as a witness on account of color; in
all other casss the testimony of colored per
sons shall be excluded, unless made com
petent by future legislation,"
This last clause found a little opposition,
but it speedily gave way before the able
argument in its savor.
Yesterday I had a long conversation with
Gov. Marvin, to whom I had a letter of in
troduction from the President, and he in
formed me that all of the proceedings of the
convention were characterized with har
mony throughout, and that no pressure
from Wasington, in the shape of despatches
from President Johnson or Secretary
Seward, was used to influence the action of
delegates in the least. He informed me that
there was some opposition of strength, at
first, to his doctrine of admitting negro testi
mony in the courts, and that some of the
members came pledged not to call upon
him, and also came pledged to vote against
- the doctrine. The most prominent of these
bilious gentlement was Mr, Niblack, of the
Jacksonville and Lake City Railroad, but,
after finding himself in an inglorious
minority, he thought better of the matter
and "took in his horns," and so did many
others, thus vanquishing the opposition
almost entirely.
Gov. Marvin tells me that Florida has
done certainly as much as was expected of
her, and will come fully up to all the re
quirements of the government. Conse
quently, he says, considering that the State
is abundantly prepared to perform all her
functions as a State, he will inaugurate the
newly elected Governor on the 15th lust,
and will retire from the Provisional Gov
ernorship immediately afterward.
In authorizing the resumption of civil
law, which was not done until the adjourn
ment of the Convention, it will be seen
that Governor Marvin very diScreetly gives
all great offenders into the hands of the
military authorities. The following is the
proclamation :
In pursuance of an authority conferred
upon me by an ordinance passed by the
the convention at its late session, and in
compliance with,a request therein contained,
and in accordance with an arrangement
made with the commander of the military
forces of the United States in this State, I
do hereby authorize the civil officers of their
respective offices prior to or during the
month of May, A. D. 1865, to resume the
function of their respective offices, reserv
ing, however, for the present, and until
further notice, to the military authorities of
the United States in this State, exclusive
jurisdiction and authority over offences
committed by their own troops, and in the
trial of all cases of rape, murder, man
slaughter, arson, burning of cotton, gin
houses or other outhouses, assaults and .
battery with an intent to kill or to commit
rape, robbery, burglary, and, unlawful and
riotous assemblages requiring a military
force to suppress them; and reserving also
to the Assistant Commissioner and the
agent of the Freedmen's Bureau, the author
ity conferred upon them by an act of Con
gress and by General Orders issued by the
War Department. And I do enjoin upon
all judges, justices of the peace, sheriffs and
constables to be vigilant in the discharge of
their respective duties, and to harmonize
and co-operate with the military authorities
in the preservation or peace and good order.
Given under my hand, at the Capitol, in
the City of Tallahasse, this 10th day of No
vember, A. D. 1865. War. MAnvis,
Provisional Governor.

The Department of Florida, which is in
Gen. Sheridaa's Military Division. kind com
manded by Major General T. G. Foster, is
divided into two districts—the Eastern Dis
trict, Col. Sprague, and the Western Dis
trict, General Newton..,_At present there are
but three regiments in the State—the 7th
Infantry, and the 34th and 99th Colored.
The 3d Colored has been mustered out dur
ing the-past week, and so have the Ist and
2nd Loyal Florida Cavalry Regiments. I
learn that there are hardly enough troops
in the State, as there is really more territory
- here than in Georgia, where there are at
let 4 10,000 soldiers. The colored soldiers
have been acting very badly in this State of
late, and it seems to be the opinion of
officers and citizens thatlhe sooner the co
lored soldiers can be mustered. oufrpf the
service and their places .filled le white
troops the better it will be for all boncerned.
There were several mutinies and emeutes
of late in the 3d add 24th Coloredßegiments.
In the former a few days ago a mutiny took
place and the Colonel of the regiment was
shot. The-would-bet murderers, however,
six in all, have been tried., by military com
mission, found guilt and exeduted. There
have been _several other disturbances, and
as a general,thlng the colored soldiers ,are
inciting- the freedmen to acts of lawlessness
and Inisbehavio4 checked,'hich, if not chked,'
will go far toward doing the great good
which has been doe in this State by the
Military Governors .d the officers in charge
of the Freedmen's urean.
• The two Florida regiments were mostly
composed of deserters from the rebel army
and refugees of Florida and the frontiers
of 'neighboring States. One 04.. the regi
ments bad been two years in the seririce. •
The six colored soldiers who I'stated were
executed were Pennsylvanians. Tlley were
hung at Fernandina 'last Friday. One of
them had seventeen bullets put into, him
before he'was', dead. He was finally dis
patched with a revolver in the hands of one
of the officers of the 3d Colored Regiment.,
Their names were Joseph Green. Company
I,• David Craig, Company K; Jacob Plow
der, Company. Eijoseph Nathaniel, Com
pany K; James. Allen, Comnany E; , and
Thomas Seward, Company I. Eight other
soldiers were tried at the same time on 'a
similarcharg.e, six of whom were convicted•
and sentetioid to various terms of impriithn.-
ment.

CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANY,
The Land of this Company consists of 120 ACRES
in Mecklenberg county, North Carolina, 344' miles from
the town of Charlotte, on:a bianch of Sugar Creek,
which stream furnishes gook water power for grinding
the ores. This Mine was first opened in 1838 by it man
named Carson, who worked it successfully for a num
ber of Years. Me died in the town of Charlotte, in
1646, worth over half a million dollars. •
Two shafts have been sunk on this property, one or
them 80 feet, the other 60 feet, on different veins'
averaging from two to three feet in thickness: which
veins still continue on down increasing in width and•
richness. These shafts are in gold order, and ore can
eireadily taken out at any time. Other veins have been
discovered on this property, and tested and proved to
be very rich in gold. The ores of this mine are known
as the brown ore, and very rich, yielding readily $lO
per bushel. This is believed to be one of the best and
most certain mines In the State, on account of the
abundance and quality of the ore, and ease in which
it is obtained ana reduced. This property has been
worked by Major Z. A. Grier from/610 to the breaking
out of the war. This Company have purchased this
property, and intend to erect machinery and put the
mines In imruediate operation. The many advantages
of this mine over the mines of Colorado and Nevada
can hardly be estimated. It is more readily reached,
and has abundance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can
be worked all the year, and not, as in the case of Colo
rado and Isievada, be compelled to lie idle for three or
lour months in consequence of the severity of the
winter.
'1 his mine having been worked for a long time,
proved lobe a rich paying one. We do not, therefore,
Lave to incur the risk there is in an undeveloped pro
yerty, but can count on large and immediate returns
on the tnt•estments. Having an ore that readily yields
510 per bushel, some estimate can be made of the
value of this property. With the present imperfect
system of mining in this locality, and absence of pro
per machinery, ten tons of this ore can be taken out
daily from every shaft. opened. Estimating, say 15
bushels 10 the ton, the daily yield will be 0,500 from
one shaft, a.:lowing SIM per day for expenses. The net
product will be 61,590 per day; count.ng 300 working
days to the year, the yearlyproceeds will be $ - .150090,
a latch yield can be largely increased by extending the
works. This is considered a very low estimate of the
capacity - of this mine by experienced miners of that
locality. The Assayer of the United States Mint at
Charlotte, in speaking of this property, says it has few
t ivals in pr:cluctiveness in that country, and with
proper management and machinery the above pro
...act can be doubled.
