Message OF tae Governor Of North CarOIinn.
RALEIGH, Januery 2l.-Gov vanee's message to the
Legislature to-day refers to the large force on our coast,
and says every preparation possible viii be made to re-
eeive them. He alluded to the inefficient execution Of
! the conscript law in this State, and TO d-esertions from
the army By consent Of commanding generals. He pro-
poses to issue a proclamation giving deserters thirty
days to return to duty without punishment fnOt, that
then the Law be vigorously applied. On ths subject Of
a~rresting citizens by COME ierate Authority, he says they
may be taken up by Confederate officers, and, with a
spirit ofcourtssy and respect for Stats authority, turned
| to him for Investigation. He says he has no power 70
examine them, aud adds; "Of course, 1 regard it in
consistent with my duty to set them at liberty without
an examination. / am yet more unwilling to see them
placed in the Confederate prison at Salisbury, where
the traeks of the accused all tend in one direction, and
the light Of Old English liberty is never seen" He re-
commends the establishment Of a commission to invest
igate charges against such persons, and commit them
for trial if sufficient cause be shown. He also asks for
authority to cal out the militia, and draws attention to
the proposition of the war departing but does not re-
commend it.
