From the Charleston Mercury. ; Message of Gov. McWille, of Miss. Wo have read with great pleasure the significant and decided message of the Govornor of Mis>issij?pi to the Legislature ! which organized on Monday last, in Jack son. It is chielly devoted to tlio inoiuenlous question of "Federal Halation," and discusses the position of danger now oc cupied bv the Southern Slates with patriolio earnestness and signal ability. We shall place the Governor's views in lull before our readers at an eai!> daV, con | tenting ourselves for the present with the j rcpubiicatioii of his recommendations only. As ihe Black Republicans have car ried New York, thev are invested with peculiar interest. They are as follows : "You will perceive th.-.t 1 use the term Abolitionist and Black Republican as sy* uouiinous. Is not this correct \ Both parties are sectional in their organization. Tliey have onu common bond of union ; which is the ar.ti slavery fanaticism ol the North, which has its origin in hostil ity to you and your institutions. The tabid UuOliiioiliSt, iii itiV Op'liioii, is the least dangerous of the two. He is open and bold in his attacks?defiant ol ad j laws, human and divine? which the Mack republican is more wary in his approaoh,.?.i l: ..,., i.;. i. v>-j nuvi iiivi c (uoiok'UD ill ?UW erects his batteries?-he plants his guns aud draws his lines of ciicumvalalioiwu round you, and will Hatter you with pro tessions, until he is prepared to demand your unconditional surrender. ****** In this view of our position on the election of an Abolition President, will it not be time "to put our house it. order," and be prepared to carry out tullv 'die following resolution of the I >emocrat par tv of this State, which party* represents an overwhelming majority of the people. That is : "Resolved, That in the event of the election of a black republican candidate to the Presidency, by the sutlrages of one portion of the Union only, to rule over the whole United States, upon the avowed purpose of that organization, Mississippi will regard it as a declaration of hostility, and will hold herself in readiness to cooperate with her sivter States ot ttie nouin, in wna'evcr measures tliev iiihv deem n*-co?;?ry for the maintenance of their rights as co equal members of the confederacy." lur the purpose of being prepared for the contingency provided fur by the fore going resolution, ! would recommend as necessary and expedient, thai you, bv your legislation, should make it the duty of the then Governor, in the event of the election ot a black republican to the l'res ideitcy of the United States in November, .1800, to issue his proclamation ordering an election for delegates to a State convention, to be holden on the first Monday of December next thereafter, and that said delegates he appointed l<> assemble at the Capitol, in the city of Jackson, on the third Monday of the said month of December, 1800, ! .r the purpose of adop ting such measures as may meet the exi gency of the occasion. i i t t...,' i .i. i n uuid i 111 ill*l icruiiiiiH'ini mm you should adopt resolutions, inviting the other southern Slates to co-operate with the Stale of Mississippi, in the adoption of such measures as may he necessary for the maintenance of their, and our rights, as oo equal members of the confederacy. This is all that, for the -present, I would recommend to be done. Gerrit Smith's Insanity. With regard to the insanity of (iutnrr Smitii, the I'tica 1Lmid, Nov 9th, say.-: We are greatly pained to learn that lierrit Smith became on Monday last an inmate ot the New \oik Slate Lunatic Asylum, where it has been found nece* sary to place him on account ot marked insanity. We learn that he is very \io lent, and has exhibited a disposition to commit suicide, nnu that an attendant keeps constant watch over him to prevent him from laying violent hands on him__ ir 'Pi.: . ? i ?._:i ... ? . simi. i iii.i rtsMiii w? iiwiir hli nuiiitM lu the connection of Mr. Smith's name with the llatpar's Kerry affair, though many will regard it as the consequem-e of long st ated an 1 marked disease. Mr. Smith is said to have an hereditary predisposition to insanity. 11 is father, l'uter Smith, though the possessor of an immense estate, and surrounded by every circumstance of prosperity, was subject to iits of profound despondency, during which lie was undpr the impression that he would die a beggar. Unlike his noted son, he was exceedingly sharp in his bargains and money affairs. It is also said that the late l'e ter Sken Siuilh, the brother of (ierrit, ?ras for some lime an inmate of a lunatic asylum, though, when ho died, he was generally regarded as in possession of his reason. (ierrit Smith has lost all his children, except one, the wife of Col. Miller, of Pet ;rboro. A nephew of Mrs. Smith, Col*. Kitzhugh, was the captor of the fugitive Cook, a fact which greatly disturbed the mind of Mr. Smith, John Cochrane, a democratic politician <>f this city, another nephew of Gerrit Smith, has alao, by bis speeches, purged himself of any complicity in the Harper's Ferry Affair. UriCA, Nov. 10.?Gerrit Smith shows continued marks of insanity. No one is allowed to see him, but it ia understood that he refers in Iris ravings to the liar per's Kerry matter, and supposes himself arrested. lIoKKin Hlasi'Hkmv.?It is stated in the Philadelphia livening Journal that Kalpli Waldo Emerson, in Ins lecture at the Tremont Temple, ltoston, on Tuesday evening, apostrophized.

Blackinon ; the said Terrell having been suspected as the perpetrator of the attempt made j upon the life of VV. \V. Ellis, announced j in our paper two weeks ago. Alter two \ days investigation, the proof not being suf- i licient to convict, the prisoner was acquit- | ted. The prosecution was conducted by i \V. A. Moore, Esq., and the deft-nee by j .M.ij.

Mr. Kllis,we un| dersland, has almost entirely recovered from kthe etfects of the shot. The McKeuna Will CaseA new liranch of this interesting ease | has lately been developed. After the I)e- | eree of the Ordinary refusing the probate J of the Will in solemn form, a petition was J filed in his otlieo praying for Letters of Administration pendente lilt', signed by Messrs S It Massey, Dixon ltarnes, Win. Stevens and Jos. A. Cunningham. The Ordinary thereupon issued the usual citation, and appointed Monday the 1 Ith inst., for a hearing. On that day the Kxeeutors appeared, ' through their t.'ounsel, and filed tiieir grounds of intervention, which were main- ] ly, that they were in the lawful possession of the estate of their te-tatur, that an up. peal from the Ordinary's Decree had been taken up to the higher Court and that until the appeal i-> heard they are in law enti tied to the possession ; that the eause hav ! ing been removed from his Court, the Or I dinary had no further jurisdiction in the ! premises and that he has no authority under our laws to grant letters ol administration ycnJtntt: lite. Thd question was one mainly of law, and was so treated by the Counsel. Some' | testimony was taken relative to the present condition of the Estate, and as to whether it could he made safer and more profitable in the hands of the proposed Administrators than in the hands of tlie Executors. I The question opened a wide lield for discussion ; all the English and American law, i having any hearing upon it, was industriously collected and di-sected before the Court. The hearing occupied three days, the time being mostly taken up I by the argument of Counsel. Mr. Allison, j Mr. Moore and Mr. .1. Williams addressed j the Court for the motion.

It has, of late, become a common thing for the mail to arrive two or three hours behind schedule time. The inconveniences arising from this, are too numerous to detail. The business men of the Village are very often .t..>i ?? i..n 1... urniiu nit' j'ln ni'gn vi anon viiiijj iciirrs i#} return of mail, in consequence of its late arrival, when it is required, more especially, of every merchant of our Village and is essential to their progress. Now, as these eomplsints have been made a public street talk, and we have no doubt hut that the contractors know the fact, we must, therefore, come to the conclusion, that our hopes of better menagemciit are all vain. It is time that some change take place, and as it couldn't he made worse than the present arrangement, we sincerely hope that these complaints will he forwarded immediately to head-quarters. If the l'ost Otliec Department cannot give us better accommodations, then give us none al all. For it is said, "he that expects nothing shall not bo deceived." To rely on the present mode of transportation and its arrival at the proper time, is always doubtful. The working man who begins his daily labor with the rising of the sun, is also put to unnecessary inconvenience. When the mail arrives so late at night, that he cannot loose his sleep to wait upon it. very often leaves the olticc without his matter : and in this manner he may he kepi in suspense for a week, unless lie aeeidently happens to pass the otlicu during the day.? With such horse-power as convey the mail at present, we cannot expect more. Wlo-o shall we have a change? As it is, it is a dinwback to our business, and is not a very good mark of the advancement of the DisI triet. Our present l'ost Master laments the above tacts, and we trust no pains will he spared bv him to effect a speedy remedy. The Regimeutal Review. The entire Regiment of Militia in this I District was on drill and review, at this place, on Wednesday of last week. After the usual evolutions had been performed in I a very perfect manner, Gen. Wallace do| livered a very excellent, cloipicnt and pa| tiiotic address. We endeavored to report | bis speech in full, but such were the coin, motion, enthusiasm and patriotism alloat, j together with the disadvantages we labor* i ed under, that i? was almost an irnpossibili ' ty lie complimented the regiment for j their good performance and thorough knowli edge of military duty, lie had often heard I of the 'J 1st Regiment and was now fully satisfied, judging by the manifest spirit J evinced by the othcers and privates upon ! drill, that it was the best Regiment in his ! Brigade. He felt proud <>f the honor of | reviewing such a regiment, and that it had i far surpassed his most sanguine expectations. That "Old Lancaster I tistricl" was j ready now, to meet the Harper's Ferry insurrectionists. The militia system of our I State should he sustained in its present 1 form. Perfection could not be attained, j neither was it essential. Austria, witli its thousands of soldiers were drilled to the let, tcr,but they needed the courage of the Hang! ing Roek and Kings Mountain veterans.? i A crisis is pending which will soon call u* I to our country's defence. 1 bid you fellow, soldiers to be ready. At the conclusion ot (Jen. Wallace'* i speech. < 'olCrockett, Maj. Rutledgc and I Maj. Wylic adoiessed the regiment in n ! very becoming and complimentary manner, We have never witnessed a more enthusias. i tic spirit on any former occasion of this ! character, and recoct that wo have n?i . lull report uf all the speeches. Our mcini>rv does not serve us sufficiently to attempt j to do justice to any. I The Sax-Horn Hand added much to the | interest of the occasion, though not a full turnout with them. Such food music, a* ; they are capable of making, is a valuable I accompnniament, and the Village and Dis. triot should feel proud of their institution The Hanging Rock Hand was also present but did not participate, from some cause unknown to the writer. Cider Pedlars We observed on Wi?dni><?d?u lust uf ll?.< i muster ground, several of the above namI od characters, dealing out destruction to I their fellow man. This is considered by I some as a harmless beverage, who may be just is their conclusions. Uut laying the truth before such, without magnifying the | evil results caused by its use among the j whites mid more especially the slaves, wc must undoubtedly conclude that its free I access is a wrong and an evil. It can no longer he argued that it will not intoxicate Its effects were evidently exhibited upon j this occasion, and in a manner, that add no credit to the peaceful and law abiding citizens of our District. If there 4s no law to I reach these intruders upon our morals, there should Ire.
