COLUMBIA. Friday Morning, October 27,1SS5. Mcawgc of GOT. Perry. We lay before our readers this morning the admirable message of Gov. Perry, which was read in both Houses of the Legislature on yester? day. The late hour at which we had an opportunity to read it, and the accumulation of other matter, pre? clude any lengthy commentary on this important document. Gov. Perry gives us a clear and suc? cinct statement of the manner in which he has discharged thc duties of the officfc to which he had beeu ap? pointed by the President of the United States, and as our people know, that perhaps n no other South? ern State have these duties been dis? charged more wisely or with happier results than in our own. His recommendations as to the measures proper to be adopted will meet with general approval, and we hope the Legislature will act promptly and judiciously on all subjects con? nected with the speedy restoration of the State to the Union and thc full exercise and authority of civil law within her limits. The first, and at this time perhaps the most important, legislation is that of making imme? diate provision for the protection and government of thc colored popula? tion. Gov. Perry has wisely given this matter prominence in his mes? sage. This duty is expected and de? manded by the necessities of the position in which we are placed. The importance of providing, at an early day, for the election of members of Congress and United States Sena? tors from this State is fully presented to the Legislature. In his opinion, there will be no difficulty whatever in our members and Senators taking their seats in Congress, if they were regularly elected in accordance with the laws of the State and the United States. He says that if the Southern members are present when the roll is called by States, they will take a part in the organization of the House, and may vote against the oath being ten? dered to thes members when they are sworn. We earnestly recommend our read? ers, anckthe members of the Legisla? ture, to the Governor's suggestions relative to the courts of the State, thc continuance of the stay law, and the immediate re-opening of the College. We agree with his Excellency that ii is a matter of serious consideratior whether we should not desire to retain for the present, a portion of the Fed eral troops in the State ; and his rea sons for making this suggestion will doubtless, impress all with its import ance. With this brief glance at the mes sage, we must close our comments thi morning. With regard to our finan cia! condition, we honor Gov. Perr for saying, that "whatever may be th state of our finances, I am sure Sout? Carolina will never sully her honor b; any act of repudiation. Ii we hav lost everything else, let us, on ?ha account, be more careful of maintain ing the honor of the State." We do trust that the people o South Carolina will give this abl State paper a careful perusal, an that the Legislature -will not burr through with any legislation that bi comes neressnrr\ in accordance wit its suggestion 3 and expressed views < our present position. They owe it t their constituents and to the best ii terests of the whole State, that the calmly mature all measures necessar to the restoration of the State to he rightful position, and for the advance ment of the well being and prosperit of her people. Governor'* Election. Wc have given the namos of th Senator and Representatives electee from Pickens District. The vote fo Govern ?r was: Hampton, c*88 ; On 261.

The steamship Circassian, from Bremen for New York, with six hun red and fifty passengers, is ashore at Rocky Bay, near Arichat, Capo Bre? ton. The vessel hes on a sandy beach. She had sprung a leak, and the Captain was obliged to run her ashoro to save her. The passengers and cargo were caved. GENERAX, HOOD.-General John B. Hood and Mr. Humphrey Marshall, arrived at New Orleans on the 10th instant, en route to Washington. Gen. Hood met with a hearty reception from General Sheridan, "who was a classmate at West Point. Two thousand five hundred and ninety-siz shares in the National Ex? press Company, wer.- taken in Au? gusta on the 23d. Two Duy? Later from Europe. NEW YOKE, October 19.-The steamship Scotia, from Liverpool the 7th and Queens? town on the 8th inst., has arrived. GREAT BRITAIN. The cotton operations dozing the last fortnisJjfc represent the large aum of ?12; 0OC,5?O~ tarling; the brokerage on which is computed at ?680.000. The Bank of England on Monday, the 2d, advanced its rate of discount from ?1 to 5 per cent., and again on Thursday, thc 5th. it was raised somewhat unexpectedly to C per cent. The movement is fully ex? plained by the weekly statement, which shows a decrease in the bullion of ?776,982, and of ?1,913,939in thc notes unemployed. This absorption brings the reserve to a mixch lower point than at the correspond? ing date last year, when the rate of dis? count was S> per cent., while the amount of bullion is about the same. Money conti? nued in good demand, notwithstanding the advance to <> per cent., and an impression prevailed that a still further advance might toon be resorted to. No reason could be given for the exces? sive absorption of gold and notes by the public. The funds were dull and drooping under thc action of the bank, and cecaoL on the 6th closed at 88J@88?. Fenianism was still an engrossing topic in thc Irish provinces. Rumors of suspi? cious cruisers hovering about the coast were circulated, not only in the South, but in the County Donegal. Precautions were adopted to prevent thc clandestine landing of arms or sympathizers, should an at? tempt be made, which, after recent events, was considered extremely improbable. Tho strictest surveillance was kept over all American vessels which touch at Queens? town. The baggage of the passengers is carefully searched before they arc allowed to land." It is stated that there are now upward of 120 persons awaiting trial or examination on the ground of high treason. On the South-west coast, a keen watch is being kopt by her Majesty's cruisers-thc Liverpool, one of the finest frigates in the British Navy, being among the ships em? ployed in this duty. The American correspondent of the Titres says that Sir James Bruce had asked Mr. Seward for an explanation of the various Fenian movements in all parts of the country. The writer also says that the indications were thickening that President Johnson contemplated a general amnesty. i; nor UH AM OX AMERICA. In his opening address before the Social Science Association, Lord Pahncuston spoke as follows of America: The termination of the war in America must give all our friends and supporters thc- greatest satisfaciion. It was never re? garded by us as anything but a grievous calamity, and wc hoped that out of evil good might come to the slave, although it was clear that the emancipation by the North had only been a measure of hostility, and the support of slavcrv, that utterly ex? ecrable institution, by the South, only a partial cause of the "sece??i'm. But the condition in which the var his left the country, especially the South, is painful to contemplate, as thc diffievdties of thc Go? vernment are great and numerous. There seems, however, reason to believe that the President bas resolved upon tem? perate measures toward tho defeated Con? federates, and all must admire thc courage and the skill by which the victory has been gained, while both parties have alike die tinguished themselves in thc war, thc South having to extol Lee, while Sherman, on the side of the North, is justly atlmired. The great difficulty arising from the slaves would have been much lessened, if not wholly avoided, had the measure of eman? cipation been gradual like ours. They might then ^ave had to show their colored people engaged in free labor, as we have had no less than one hundred thousand so employed in our colonies. THE LATEST. LiVEnrooL, October 9-Evening.-At Dub? lin, yesterday, Mr. C. Brennan, of the Con? naught Patriot, was committod to prison on the double charge of treason and felony. Paris letters assert that the allocution recently delivered against secret societies, was du* to the suggestion of Archbishop Manning, of London, who wished, in this manner, to obtain condemnation of Fe? nianism. John B. Hale, United States Minister to Madrid, was reserved by the Queen of Spain on the 30th. Mr. Hale, in presenting bis credentials, made an address full of friendship towards Spain, pointing oat that all the differences between the two coun? tries have always been pacifically adjusted, and expressing hopes fer their continued peace and prosperity. The Queen, in re? sponse, said that she rejoiced at thc friend? ship between the two nations, and recipro? cated the desire that they may remain perpetual friends. She also expressed real satisfaction at the termination of the dis? astrous war so gloriously sustained by the American peopla; and hoped that all traces of the past strife would bc happily moved.
