We hays reason to think Ihat th Message will be sent to Con on Monday afternoon. The House cf Representatives will be organized a once hy electing Mr. Colfax as the Speaker, and settle the question of the admission of Southern members after wards. The message is not, as hitherto, to be sent out to the press in advance ot its presentation to Congress, aud the first impression of it in be through the telegraph. Of la usually the case when important news is in wires svill be "out of order." The advance of President Juarez from El Paso farther into the interior toie establish at Chihuahua the National Republican Government of Mexico is Elicially known in Washington.

The rench, In consequence of military ovements of the Liberals, were compellcl to evacuate Chihuahua on the 23th October. They left not a single soldier thereon the 29th and have withdrawn to the State of Durango. This result is highly significant. The failure of the Imperialists to hold the territory heretofore conquered by them cannot but operate as a great discouragement of their cause. These advices are as late as the 3d from El Paso, and are direct from President Juarez to Senoi Romero, the Mexican Minister, in Washington.

On Monday next the Legislature of Virginia will meet at Richmond on au occasion the most important, perhaps since the session of 1775 in that great Commonwealth. The National Inteiligencer states that "it is generally for the ensuing session that the members comprise au unusual number of able and high minded-men. It is a curious fact, that in the House of Delegates, of ninety-six members, with a single of the delegate from Rockbridge member is au 'old line while, in the Senate, the exceptions are but three or four, the remainder being all of the like party antecedents. The whole delegation elect in Congress and one of tho two Senators of the United States having In former years adhered to the same political party, togethor with avery large majority of the local state officials of every grade, it Ivy be said that the state is in the bauds the Whigs at last." FBOBO IHsnSKECTIOirS It ii not just possible that the blacks may be emboldened by the apparent fears of the whites, and that these very insurrections that we are now dreaming about, may come to pass, because of our unnecessary solicitude. For day.

back have heard that the negroes of the counties in this neighborhood were arming aud that they contemplated mischief. We doubt all this. The blacks here and in this common with the emancipated negroes throughout the a good deal elated sure enough is it thing more than tremendous has happened to them, siucethe first of April, "as one of them remarked the other day-" and If they are a little beside themselves in their notions, what harm does that do anybody." We do not apprehend any disturbance growing out of a combined rising of the ne-' groes against tho svhites, and mainly for two there is no cause for it; and secondly, the most ignorant among the colored men know that should they attempt for what might appear to thorn to be just cause for svould be exterminated. Some of our coteinporarics further South, sve aro sorry to obsers-e, are less hopeful, and many Northern journalists, too, see a cloud its large as that which recently darkcucd Jamaica, descending upon us. We hope both t.1111 .1 are misinformed.

The Wilington (North Carolina) Dispatch has received information, of an undoubted character, that the flee.l.lien ill the neighborliood of Topsail Sound, in this county, have been recently coniniiitinjj, excesses of the most outrageous charac- Iter. Amongst other acts, they have" several times fired into the hous.s of tho citizens of that neighborhood, and apprehensions are felt that, unless speedily checked in their present course, they will become bold enough to attempt something still worso." If the local civil authorities are not equal to leduciiig theso outlasvs to and wo think liny should call upon the nearest military post for assistance. We have no doubt that General Cook would give the needed aid, and that promptly. If it lie true that there are organized bands idls blacks roving through certain counties In North Carolina in Ihe vicinity, of Wilmington, svho are bent on crime, they should be pursued, captured, and punished prompt ly. Such tt lesson svould do them good; and quiet the feelings of the timid country people.

Felix Grundy of Tennessee oncesvisely remarked, that the svay to ensure the peace of a state is so to legislate ns lo make it to the interest of all its honest inhabitants to keep the peace. Secure the rights of all, he said, and all will support and maintain the laws. Those people in Louisiana and eisetvtiere who fearful of a negro insurrection will do well to bear in mind this speech of a southern man. Much, says the Nesv York Evening Post, has been said about the recent outbreak in Jamaica, and speak as thni.g-fi negro inaurrections were something new there, and had only occurred since the blacks became free. But the facts are otherwise.

While slavery existed in Jamaica, there svas a constant insurrection there. For forty years, the maroons, mutinous and fugi'uve slaves, held the mountain fastnesses of the island, aud carried on a svar with the whites, and the government svas at last forced to make a treaty of peace wifh them. In 17110, in 1796, and ir. 1832 there svere special and formidable insurrections of the slaves, subdued svith great difficulty. Butsvhen freedom was declared these insurrections ceased, and from the year 1.538, when the slaves of Jamaica became free, to the last month, there has no outbreak.

Thus merely freeing the slaves was the most effective of peace measures. lit THK LAST 'Ote Si YiKS funeral of Ti.m Sayers has pretty close upoa thatof his noble atron, the prime minister of England, the Prince of Wales Lord almerston with a "wake" and a "royal jig," the night after his death, the friends ofthechampionof tl.e ringought not to be censured for a few bouts of the noble art of self defence over (ho grave of their foremost man. The body ol Sayers was taken to the grave on the loth ultimo. It svas followed by a terrible set of men and mourr.i rs.
