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

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__

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.

Magistrate's Court
A Magistrate's Court, presided over by I
) J. C. Small, Esq., was held several miles
| East of this place on Friday and Saturday
last, ioi tin- trial <>1 Terrell, a slave belong.
! ing t<> the estate of the late John J. 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. John I). Wylie.
We learn Unit there is much speculation
in tlie neighborhood as to who is the real .
perpetrator of the deed. 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. Mr. Connors,
I .Mr. \> y I it* and .Mr. ISorthrop, eontia.

I.OC A IAS i'OLVn.l,
Our Mail Facilities
Wi have heard frequent complaint from
the citizen* in general and from thu Southern
portion of the District, in regard to the
present modus ojieraiuli of transporting the
mail hetwet'n this and Camden. 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!

To the Honorable presiding Judge of tlte ;
Court of Common Pleas for Lancaster Din- ]
| trict, October Term, 1859.
The Commissioners of Poor beg leave to
submit ihe following report of all monies
1 by them received, to whom and for whom
I the said money was paid out. At their
meeting in January 1859, they assessed the
District I'JJ percent, which biought into
the Treasury seven hundred and eighty-one I
dollars and 8 cents. This exceeded by j
three hundred dollars what they supposed;
their assessment would bring in, w hich was '
produced by the last Legislature raising the !
i General Tax. It will take *500 to pay oil"
| paupers in January next, and |300 will
I shortly be duo the Asylum on account of
, our two pauper Lunatics, Sarah Cornelius
'and Jinny Illend, which will leave n balance
j in the hands of th^ Treasurer in January
i 1800 of about $500. This Hoard of Com;
missioners will be able to go through next !
year by assessing 10 or \'2i per cent. This
Hoards thinks it is necessary to ulways have
i ui; hand a larger amount tliitn what will
meet its current annual expenses. All of
' which is respectfully submitted.
