Message of Gov. Gist, of South Carolina.
CoIuMsIA, S. c., Nov. 27.-GOvernor
Gist, in his message, devoted many pages
to local and State sfairs. He says the
view Of secession becomes doubly impor.
tant. We will have direct trade with Eu-
rope, and advises the State TO foster her
enterprise for such purposes by guarantees
of Eve per cent. Referring to the postal
matter, he says he is authorized by the
postmaster at Charleston to say, that, as
soon as the State secedes, be will sever his
connection with the federal government, and
obey the call of the State. This, together
with the resignation CT the 2ostmaster's
generally, would enable the State to estab;
lish her postal arrangements herself unem-
barrassed. He suggests. as temporary
expedient, 10 use Adams Express. He
further suggests tha, probably arrangements
will be made between South Carolina and
the federal authorities for giTen time, un-
ill other States secsde and Southern con-
fsderacy is formed. If the Government
insists On considering South Carolina in the
Union aftor the ordinance Of secession, the
present postal arrangement must cease, and
another, under State authority. must bs
substituted.
The Governor advises the prohibition OF
the introduction of slaves from States not
members Of the Southern Confederacy, and
particularly Border States. He says lie,
them keep their slave property on our Bor-
der, and the only alternative left them Is
emancipation by their own act or the ac-
ton Of their confederate.. He hopes, how
ever, that all the Slave States will unite
in Southern Confederacy. He advises
the passage of most ample and stringent
law against abolition incendiaries TO SUPER
cede lynching and deter violation.
The Governor, in referring TO the action
of South Carolina in sending Mr.. Mem
minger to Virginia, and the failure 10 OBJ
tain the cooperation Of the Southern Con-
ference, except Mississippi and Alabama;
says all hopes of concentrated action of
the South are lost. But one course is left
South Carolina to act consistently with
honor, interest and safety, and that lOOk.

her purpose II is tco late now to receive
propositions for conference, and South
Carolina would be wanting in self-respect
to entertain propositions looking to the
continuance Of the present Union.
The Governor entertsins no reasonable
doubt that Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi.
Florida, Texas and Arkansas will immedi
ately follow, and other Southern States vii
eventually complete the galaxy. He says
it is gratifying TO know that if resort TO
arms is necessary we have tender of VOL
unteers from all the Southern and some OK
the Northern States, who will flock prompt;
ly 10 her standard and share her fortunes.
He concludes thus: / cannot permit ny:
