Moore or any Of the 10Th regiment, but frou
all I can learn Col. Moore is not deserving O

GOV. JoHNsoN's PROCLAMATION.
Gov. andrew johnson has Issued IN order
Tor the election Of Congressional Representa-
tiFes IN the 9Th and 10th districts Of t1li:
State. II is thought that there is a sironv
Uniou sentiment and majority in these dis.
trlets and that they are entitled to Reuresenfa.
tion. am doubtful Of these slave State Ren.
resenta1iyes, and the administration is already
sl1acllcd enough with those from one or two
other States: The rebels here are ANXIOUS for
Representative from the other districts Of
this State, but understand that the Governor
does not intend obligins them that much.
A proclamation, in better taste, is about to
be issued by the Governor, in which he assesses
the principal wealthy rebels Of this city to the
aInouut Of seo,Wo, for the, support Of the
poor and destitute Of this place. This has
been urged upon him by the Dispatch, 4 semi
rebel sheet, and will be harder for tie rebels
to bear than before. In this movement the
Governor Will haye the support Of ali the
loyal citizens, and the respect Of the whole
country. But in his scheme for furnishing
ReFrescntires from the districts he will fiji of
acquiring ary new popularity. The institu-
tim is tie main capital Of all these politicians.
and if you yet loyal Representatives. from these
districts, cotton and slavery will so iaunf1iee
their eyes that they will be able to sec no
,Unlon, or peace, or success without their in
sttution and cotton. We thought ne had 4
lTc bad loyal man from Kentucky. You
Know What the experience las been, and how
absolute they are ia their loyalty.
