Gov. GIsT's MEssAGE.--The Southern
Guardian of the e9th, contains the message of
his Exeelleney, Gov. Gist, Of South Carolina
addressed to the Legislature of that State
Upon the subject of Fedora. Relations, the Gov
ernor says:
"The Harper's Ferry is an illustration of the
first act in the drama 10 he performed in
Souf hera theatre. He admonishes us to put no
trust in parties or Presidents, and faithfully
warns his fellow citizens not TO commit them
selves to any Presidential aspirant He urges
upon the Legislature to take such measures
as they deem proper and expedient, to obtain
unity and concert of action among the South
ern States. He despairs of living longer in
peace and harmony in the Union, and certain
ly the events which are now taking place, the
tone of public sentiment at the North, and the
recent verdict of the people of that section in
their late election, il confirmation, strong and
positive, of the truth of his convictions.
1t is not necessary to add {says the Guar
dian) that we entirely concur with our Exc
cutive in all he says under the head of Federal
Relations. We hope and believe that the Le-
gislature, by their action, will manift st that
they, too, sufficiently comprehend our dangers,
aud proceed to provide the necessary remedies
by such precautionary action as they think the
exigencies Of the times require.

County Meetiag.-The citlzens of Henrico
county are invited TO meet at their Court
House on Monday next, at II o'clock to form
a Southern Association, and ii is very impor-
tant to the cause that the meeting should be a
large and intelligent one. Daniel II. London,
ESQ., and her gentlemen are expected to ad
dress the meeting, and steps will no doubt be
taken to induce the people TO support only
foreign and Southern manufactures, thereby
discarding from use every article that comes
from Yankee land. BY direct trade and en-
couraging home products, the independence OF
the South can be guaranteed, but in no other
way Ii any good is to be effected by the pres
eut movement, the first step is, TO resolve to
RELY upon Son hern manufactures and foreign
trade for every want, and until this is done,
it is idle To talk of resolutions. IL any excuse
is to make Northern goods admissible, until
the North shows determination to do justice
to the South, we fear for the result.

upon Virginia the importance OF educating
her children upon her own soil, and denounced
the practice of sendif & them to Yankee

remarks the present pilot laws were carefully

to show that they operated prejudieialiy to-
Southern vessels and Southern commerce.
