THE STATE OF FLORIDA.--On the 26th ult, State Government of Florida was established and organized at Tallahassee, the seat of government, in all due form and ceremony. WILLIAM D MOSELEY, the first Governor, and a democratic one too, was inaugurated, and deliverd an address, ably written, democratic and strongly Southern in its character. The ceremonies attended on the occasion, are described at much length in the Floridian and appear to have been quite imposing. A procession comprising the military, state officers, elect and territorial, the Legislature, clergy and citizens, was formed and marched to the Capitol. There, after music and prayer, proclamation was made of the result of the election., and the Constitution of the new State formally delivered to the Governor by the Committee of the Constitutional Convention, with an interchange of appropriate addresses. Governor MOSELEY then delivered his inaugural, and took the oath of office. Debbie
