The late hour at which we received the Governors Message precludes our bestowing due attention in way ol synopsis, for this week's issue. In our next we will say something in referenco to it.. It is a lengthy State paper, and advises the adoption of some very important measures in which our entire State and and country is vitally interested. The State Legislature. On Monday last the State Legislature convened?on which day an election took place for Speaker of the House of Representatives. The third ballot declared Hon. A. P. Aldrich duly elected. John T. Sloan, re-elected clerkHon. W. D. Portkr was re-elected President of the Senate, and W. E. Martin, clerk. Tuesday was principally occupied with presentations of memorials, accounts, <fcc.

We neglected, in our last issue, to mention the demise af one of Carolina's bravest sons? Lieu'.. C. A. Fisher. He was a native of Sumter District, though raised from childhood in tho town of Camden. He graduated with tho higest honors at the 3outh Carolina College. Those who knew Jiim best accord him a "brave man, a gallant soldier, an efficient officer, genial and warm-hearted in all the so cial and friendly relations, and amid the arduous duties and ambitious aspirations of lifei self-reliant and animated by the noblest aims,' Lieut, was wounded-in the battle of Manassas bnt continued with his company, and after wards Received his fatal wound in the battle of Sharpsbiirg, whilst gallantly leading his command in the charge. - . vvjS ft I i? " V; fcg* yn^-lfaigyrtjot?the Womei | It is that a day bo appointed, on which at j certain hour, they, with one consent shall uni tedly beg for fkack, from Htm in whoad handi are the hearts of men and the destinies of na tions. Prayer is being made continually foi the success of our arms in battle, and thest prayers have been auswered, in many instances beyond our hopo. Every prayer doubtless breathes an earnest petition for Peace, but it is now suggested that our faithful women shal1 unue 10 pray in an especial manner for it; tlial God would forgive our enemies and turn thcii hearts, and that lie would forgive us our debts and would speedily deliver us from the evi1 hands of bloody men. Let Monday, the 1st day of next Deecmhci be appointed, and on that day at 12 M., lot the heart of every wife, mother, sister and daughter, in every State in the Confederacy, go up in solemn, fervent prayer to God for peace. In addition to this proposition, we find in the Kr.oxville Register the following earnest and eloquent appeal for united prayer, from si "soldier," who after referring to the communication above mentioned proceeds to say: We hope that no wife or mother or sister in the Confederate States, will permit the call to go by unheeded. It is becoming that theyi whose hands have not been imbrued with Mood, should present this great petition to the throne df our Heavenly Father. Soldiers and countrymen, of whatever rank or station, let me sug. gest that we also unite with those mother wives and sisters, on that day, and in that hour to pray that the hand of the Destroying Angel may be stayed before we arc all sunk in hopeless ruin. Let the workman close his shop; the merchant his store. Let all trade and business of every description be deserted. Let the soldier retire to the silent grove, or unite in prayer with his pious comrades in the font. Let the sentinel plead for it in his silent tread, aud the sick soldier upon his lonely couch. Let heaven be emphatically besieged on that day by the entreaties and supplications of earnest souls, for peace?an honorable pcace< Oh! my countrymen, reraembsr, only one hour of that time which is not yours but God's, is all that is asked for, in which to 'unite with those whom we love, (and who have shown in a thousand ways, their love to us), to plead with the throne of Jehovah, for the inestimable blessings of peace and independence upon us and our posterity. God has told us that where even two or three of his children unite in asking a blessing lie will give it to them in a special manner. Oh! my countrymen, will lie shut those ears which arc ever so ready to catch the first breathing of a penitent soul! will He I say, shut them against the earnest cry of a penitent nation? On one remarkable occasion, where our Saviour was in groat trouble, as we are now He asked his deciples tc watch and pray with hiir. one hour. Shall lle have to upraid us as He did them, with those sorrowful but tender words, "What, could ye not watch and prav one hour?'' Oh! blessed Saviour! help us to watch and pray, in thai hour, as that wo may prevail with Thee, and secure the blessings of a speedy peace, to oui tempest tossed and war worn people. Speal the word only, thou Son of God, to this grc-ai tempest, "Peace, be still," and there will be t great calm. All papers friendly to these suggestions please copy, and you will oblige one of tha class for whose interest and comfort, you hav< watchful eyes. Your friend, A Soldier.

When the cartel for the . exchange of prisoners was perfected, he re? paired to the army at Holly Springs. Having . no command, he did not regard his presence . in the army as important, and returned to his home in Missouri, as a citizen, without taking - any oath, or being placed under any restric' tions.

General: Enclosed you will find a slip from ' the "Memphis Daily Appeal, of the 23d inst., containing an account pnrpoting to be derived from tho Palmyra (Mo.) Courier, a Federal 1 journal, of the murder of ten Confederate citi' zens of Missouri, by order of Gen. McNeil, of 1 the United States army. You will communi! catc with the Federal officer commanding that ! department, by flag of truce, and ascertain ! whether the facts are as stated. If they be so> ' you will demand tho immediate surrender of 1 Gen. McNeil to the Confederate authorities; 1 and, if this demand is not complied with, you p will inform said commanding officer that you : are ordered to execute the first ten United ^ States officers who may be captured and fall 1 into our hands. Very respectfully, yours, ?

The theme on which they eloquently discanted being of course the , American war. As we have mentioned in an, other place, the belief to which one and all of l. the speeches gave expression was that the j Southern Confederacy had shown themselves I powerful enough to defend and able to maintain their independence. Thatydiis will shortly l" lead to the recognition of the independence of r. the Confederate States no sane man can now i- deny. The extraordinary fertility of resources r combined with indomitable bravery and enthusiasm for the cause in which they are engaged, added to the brilliant successes already gained, have created but one feelifig of respect and admiration throughout Europe.

Lee that if it was not surrendered or I evacuated by 9 o'clock this morning, it would y be shelled and burnt. The demand was.promptrefused by Gen. Lee, who is in command of , our troops. Advices from Northern Virginia represent that the enemy has evacuated Warrenton aud t Manassas. Some have gone towards Washing- 1 ton, but the larger portion, it is believed, liavo I gone in the direction of Fredericksburg. An 1 official despatch, received here this morning, I sstate that Manassas Junction and Stone Bridge f have been abandoned by the enemy. ? Latest from Richmond. Richmond, November 20.?Rumors from the Valley state that the Yankees are advancing towards Stauntou by way of Alleghany Mountains, in Highland county. They number over four thousand. Their progress in that direction will soon be checked. Richmrnd, November 20.?The Petersburg Express of this morning has late intelligence from Suffolk?that the enemy is being largely reinforced there.

Nonames heard. W.?. J. Salt. Gov. Pickens received tho following despatch on Sunday, dated Marietta, Ga., Nov. 22d: *'An incxhaustable supply of salt baa been j discovered in Opcleka, in Alabama.

I havo written hilly, and sent samples by express/' A Thb Cartel.?Mr. Ould, the general com-^ missioner for the exchange of prisoners, has nearly performed the important work entrusted H to him. The extraordinary facts develped by the execution of tho recent cartel with respect V to the numbers of prisoners taken in this war, are exceedingly curious and have a singular interest for the historian. We have already exchanged at Vicksburg about 18,000 prison- HH ere, and at Varina not less than 20,000, and that we still have in our hands a snrnlua of some eight to ten thousand prisoners, ineluding the Harper's Ferry capture. The statistics suggest a remarkable and not very honorable circumstance in this war?the large number of prisoners taken on both sides. How to Corn Bxef.?Add two pound brown sugar to eight gallons of water, also one < quart of molasses, four ounces of nitre, and fine salt till it will float an egg. This enough for two quarters of beef. . I \ % * i
