The following Message was received

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
Columbia. S. c., Nov. s. 1860.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House Of
Representatives.:
In recognizing the primary Allegiance of
every citizen to the State of South
Carolina. the Federal officers in her limits
may be subjected to pccuniary loss. by the
forfeiture of their official bonds, if they
should tender their designations and they
were not accepted And it would be ull-
Just for the State to require or permit the
patriotic acts of her citizens to involve
them in heavy pccuniary losses, which, to
some, may be the loss Of their entire es-
tates.
1 would, therefore, respectfully and
earnestly recommend that the State,;should
indemnify them for whatever losses they
may sustain by an act so honorable to
themselves and indicative Of such devotion
to her. WILLIAM II. GIST.
Pending the consideration Of this Mes
sage, Senator Darlington offered the fol-
lowing resolution.
Resolrcd, That it is the sense of this
General Assembly that the citizens of
South Carolina, who have held Offices un-
der the General Government should be
indemnifed against any pecuniary liabili-
ty or loss they mary incur in consequence
Of their resignation OF such offices, on ac-
count of the election of the candidate for
the Presidency Of the Black Republican
party.
Senator Bryan thought that as this was
a new matter to many OF them: it had bet
ter lie over until tomorrow.
There being no objection, the resolutions
was ordered to lie over among the gener-
al orders for tomorrow, and be printed.
The hour of ore o'clock having arrived,
the special order, the Governors Message,
No. l, was taken up.
Senator Darlington offered a resolution
discharging the general order, referring
SO much of the Message as relates to the
military defence of the State, to the Mill
tary Committee, and making SO much of
it as relates to the call of Il Convention,
the special order for tomorrow, al one o.
clock. The resolution was adopted.
