required to effect the object which it avowed as the only end intended, in d can only be excused where no warning huts been given. As to the

coo-eiiieiK-tti, South Carolina can not by her si laice appear to acquiesce in imputations; that he is guiltv of unprovoked aggression in firing on the Star oj tie West Though an unarmed vessel, she was filled with armed men, entering her territories against her. Gov. Pickens' instructions to him ae-onirstnies Hayne's letter. Secretary Holt replied, acknowledging the President', receipt of Hayne's letter. He first gives a sunum.rv of Hayne's instructions, which are to the effect: " '1 üo not come as x military mm to demand surrender of a fortress, but as a legal officer of j Ute its Attorney ueneral to claim lor the State the exercise of hi undoubted riirht of em n nt domain, and to pledge the Sfctte to make, good all injury to rights of property which arise! from the exercise ot such claim. The proposi- i tion. therefore, is. to buy Fort Sumter; that, if South Carolina is not permitted to make the purchase, she will seize the fort br force of arms." This proposal impresses the President as having assumed most unusual form. He has, however, investigated the claim on which he proteoses to be based, apart from the declaration that acri mpanies it. The tide of the United States to ihe fort k complete and incontestable. Were its interests n the property, in an ordinary Acceptation of the term, it might, probably, be jubjected to exercist the act ot eminent domain: but it has political relations to itot much higher and more imposing character than those of mere jaitäsanship. It has absolute jurisdiction over the soil on which it stand, which is clearly incompatable with the claims of eminent domain. Under provision of the Constitution of the United States South Carolina can no more assert the right of cmiuem domain oer Fort Sumter, than Maryland car. e ver the District of Colum bia. The President, however, is retired from the further necessity of pur fact that he has not ih secede or surrender it. The question of teini g this inquiry, by the institution d power to ng Fort Sumter is so ter of January '22 j to f which accompanies d sot be resumed. I ut moment it is not fully disposed of in rav lett Senator Slide! I, a copy ..( this, that its discussion nee! then said : "At the presen

deemed necesb-iry to reinforce M ijur Anderson, because he makes no such request; should his asfe , howeTer, retu re reinforcement, every efi fcrt will be made v supply them." I cm a. I i - notliing to the esplit.-ituess of this language, which still applies to existing states. In a letter of Senator Divis and others to yourself, they say it is especially due from South Carolina ti our State, to say nothing of other 9 slaveholding States, that she should, as far as consistent with her honor, avoid military ho-tili ties between her and the United States or any other power, and yon now give the President the gratifying assurance that South Carolina has everv disposition ti preserve the public peace:

and since he is sincere! v animated bv the same desire, it would seem that this common and pat riotic object must be of certain attainment. It is difficult, he we- or, to reconcile this with the declaration oa ym r part that Suih Carolina's nwn ,li..T.ifv npnmntu ) f r ilam-iml fli it f V 1 ' W .. U V .

After stating that in case the attempt by a foreign power to capture the Charleston batteries. Fort Swatter would be exerted for her pro tection. He says, how the presence of a small garrison, actuated by such a spirit, can enmpro sains the dignity of South Carolina, the President is at a loss to understand. The attitude that the Government has often declared is neither menacing, defiant nor unfriendly. If the announcement so repeatedly made, of the Pre-d dent's pacific purposes in continuing die occupation of Fort Sumter until the question is settled by competent authority , has failed to impress die Government of South Carolina with the forbear ing conduct of his administration for the last three months. If this forbearance be not accepted , then neither laasruage nor conbm.-t can possibly furnish such pledge. If, with ail the multiplied proofs of the President's anxiety for peace, the authority of South Carolina shall assault Fort Sumter, and peril the lives of the handful of brlve and loyal men shut ap within its walls, and thus plunge our common country in die horrors of civil war then upon them and these whom they represent must st the responsibihn . V ASHiNOTos, Friday, February 8. The impression here among gentlemen who are well acquainted with the subject is, that no appre hen-ions need be entertained relative to an immediate attack on Fort Sumter, as it will be referred to the Southern Conrress; meanwhile the South Carolina authorities will keep stricter ;:iiapl "ii the fort to intercept, any re enforcements to Major Anderson. All domestic supplies and mail faculties are to be denied, and all possible means taken to starve out the gwnson. The co remittee of the peace conference were engaged to-day on measures looking to an adjust Nearly all the Commissioners have arrived, in eluding those from Massachusetts and New York. A large number o: influential gentlemen, from nearly all parts of the country, are constantly ar riving, embracing n any members of the Virginia Legislature." Capt. Tilton, of Maryland, attached to the swry and a member of the Light house Board, committed suicide this afternoon, by blowing out his brains with a pis.ol. He had for some time been much depressed, owing to the political state of the country. It appeared, on inquiry at the proper source, that the St. Loui was ordered trom the Gulf squadron as early as December '-2d. and the Sabine January 9th, three days before the surren der of the Penaaeoht yard, leaving the other vessels to compose tile squadron the Powhattan, Pacahonta and Cumberland and obtain provisions. The stre ship Supply was sent by order of flag officer Pendergast to Pensacola, end bj Capt. Armstrong, then at that place, was ordered to return to toe squadron; but, instead of dcing so, Capt. Walker, her commander, took on board the patrolled officers, and men and women from Port Fickens, and proceeded to disobey orders. He is to be court rnartialed. The Cumberland has been ordered to Hampton Roads and the Powhattan to Jfew York: What ever disaffection has been excited in the Gull quadroi was on board the latter vessel. When ordered to proceed elsewhere, a portion of her officers, who are Southern men, supposing she was going to Pensacola , manifested discontent. The First Lieutenant sent in his resignation, the acceptance of which w ill depend on his being ex onorated from blame to be ascertained when the vessel shall arrive at New York; otherwise, he will be court-martialed. There are eleven naval vessels on our coast one at Cuba and tr other at Tortugas. T be Macedonian and Brooklyn have arrived in the neighborhood of Fort Pickens. While the Mexican Government was in a more unsettled condition and there was a prospect of a demonstration by Spain against Vera Cruz, it was the policy of the GoTernmeat to keep a strong fleet in the Gwlf for the protection of American interests. Since the J uarez Government has been established, the t ecessfty for the continuance of a strong force in tlat. quarter ha ceased; and hence the fleet distributee in the manner above stated. A dispatch announces that the Cherokees have rebelled, and seiied Fort Gibson, a. The testimony of ex-Senator Benjamin, before the Indian Boarc.

The confirmation of Horatio King's nomination as Postmaster General is delayed in the Senate by Republicans, und! it is ascertained whether he will execute Mr. Colfax's bfW relative to postal service iu seceding States. It is understood that the nominee will execute the provisions of that bill to the letter. Wb. P. Ridgely, Clerk of the Navy Department, died suddenly . of heart disease, last evening.

Colonel Hayne. in reply to the President, says although his emphatic refusal to my demind closes the mission, lie wishes to correct the im pression that South Carolina wished to purchase I Fort Sumter. iuth Carolina would make com peiisation for injury done to property, bot the idea of purchase is entirely inconsistent with assertionof paramount nght in the purchase, south Carolina claims :o luxe o -1 the politic tl connection, and destroyed all political relations of your Government with everything within her borders. She is a separate and independent Government, exercising Kovereiznty over every foot of soil except Seester. The avowed intention to hold Sumter as a military post by a foreign Government, leaves 'he authorities there to determine the proper course to be pursued. He asks the President if he was aware that the holding of a fortress by a foreign power, against the will of the authorities, is the highest insult that can be offered. He says that South Carolina has not taken Fort Sumter because of misplaced confidence in the Government that has deceives! her. and thinks the reply to his demand, that the occupation of Fort Sumter is no cause of irritation, but for the protection of South Carolina, is irouical for a gravs subject.

by saying that if responsibility rolina, that Government is unrests on South Carol conscious of the fact Wasuxotox, Saturday, February 9. The President has approved and signed the $25,000,000 loan bill, which passed both Houses, as originally reported, with amendments providing revenue from loan authorized by the act of June, 18S0, or so much as may be deemed necessary, shall be applied to the redemption of Treasury notes issued under an act of December, and for no other purpose.

The Governor replies he would take into respectful consideration any suggestions from them, but could not give a decisive answer until he shall recei e the President's communication and ascertained the grounds of the latter's refusal to surrender Fort Sumter. The letter of Colonel Hayne in his rejoinder to the President's reply through the Secretary of War, was not received by the President until after the special message and accompanying documents were yesterday reidy for transmission to Congress. If the President had deemed proper to answer the rejoinder, it, together with the reply, would have been included in the document.

WEDNESDAY IDBRIIMV 13, 1M51 CALL FOR 1 CONVENTION ON THE FEBKIARY! SSd OF The following call is being signed in every portion of the State, and from 1 11 quarters is being sent to us. The day for the convention is approaching, and we do not wait the receipt of all the calls before publication. The exigencies of the times render it unneces sary for us to add anything to attract the attention of the people to the call and to the action which it suggests. To the People of the Mute of Indiana: The undersigned citizens of said State believe the Union to be in danger, and that if anything can be done to avert the dreadful calamity, it must be done quickly. The jeople of Virginia, Kentucky, aud other border States have made overtures of conciliation, and it is believed by many that these overtures should be met with kindness by the Union loving pevple of the Slate of Indiana. It has been said that if the )eople would come together, determined to hear the voice of reason, good re-ults would follow. Concurring in that opinion, the occasion would seem to justify us iu calling a convention of the people of the State, to assemble at Indianapolis on the ?Jnd day of Febmar) , to tike into consideration the condition of the country, and to adopt such measuics as may be besi calculated to prevent civil war mid preserve the Uniou. The Union was born of concession and compromie, the pejtiie love it, and will not ici'use to make any reasonable couce-.-ions to preserve it. The liberty won and bequeathed to us by our fathers is in peril. The institutions reared in wisdom aud cemented iu blood, are endangered by fanaticism on the one hand, and revolution on the other. We therefore recommend that the people of each township and county in the State, who love the Union more than mere party platforms, and who desire the settlement of existing difficulties upon the basis of the Critte:ide,n propositions, or any other fair and honorable adjustment, shall meet forthwith and appoint delegates to said convention, and that they send up their petitions through their delegates, and demand that their voices be heard in the councils of the S.ate and nation in reconciling the alienated feelings of the dismembered portions of our common country.

The Senate met in afternoon session and transacted a large amount of business in the way of reail'Mg up. amending und recommitting bills with instructions, and one or two were passed. Twelve new bills were introduced one by Mr. Newcomb, for the relief of borrowers from the Sinking Fund, and one by Mr. Claypool, supplemental to the banking law of 1P55, to authorize the Auditor and Treasurer to surrender securities and moneys, in certain cases. A resolution byMr. Murray as adopted requiring the Committee on Printing to inquire into the expisdiency of letting out the printing to the lowest bidder to report a bill making the printer find paper, and to separate the printing from the binding. The consideration of the minority report of the Committee on Fe Jen d Relations being the special order, Mr. Ray in behalf of the minority who voted for the resolution sending commissioners to Washington, submitted the protest which was ordered to be spread upon the journals. They protest against the implied hostility contained iu the res olutions against all measures of conciliation against the provision requesting the postjionement of the conference igainst the provision forbidding the commissioners to act until nineteen States are represented, and because the resolutions do not indicate but virtually denv all me ins of settling our National difficulties by other means than the sword. IIotsE. The Speaker laid before the IIoufc the re-ponse of the Warden of the State Prison, in regard to contractors, and announced the select committee to receive the President elect Messrs. Grosham, Burgess. Bingham, Sherman, Tlrettand McLean. The reports from the committees were numerous, and embraced bills on almost every subject of legislation, and a good day's work was accomplished in a short time in reading up and disposing of accumulating matter. Sevend new bills were introduced and read a first time. The debate on the report of the Committee of Thirteen was continue.! Mr. Cason, of Boone and Hendricks, spoke ou the Republican side: Mr. Roberts, of Deirborn, (Democrat) followed, and Mr Gresham, of Homer, (Republican) closing, Mr. McClurg, of Clinton, go', the floor at adjourn u:ent. In the way this debate is progeessing now, it promises to hold out during the session. It is a good school for young men to leiru to debate. but a very expensive one to the good people of Indiana. Ti espat, Febniary 5, 1961. Sexate.- Resolutions adopted at Union meetings held in Gibson and Fayette counties were presented and referred. An ineffectual motion was made to reconsider the vote referring all matters ou Federal subjects to the committee, without debate.

A very large number of bills were read a second time and referred to committees, or ordered to be engrossed. The embezzlement bill, introduced by Mr. Branham No. 1 of this session entitled an act defining certain felonies and misdemeanors, and prescribing punishment therefor, and providing certain evidence on the part of the State, was taken up, being the special onJerin the afternoon, and passed b a vote of 71 vc"- to 2 nat.

The House adopted Mr. Cameron's resolution to have but one session each day. The debate on the state of the Cnion will be resumed on Wednesday, as the business was forwarded suffi cieutly to give another day to the country. Wednesday. February S, 1861. In both Houses innumerable petitions have been presented for some efficient law to rid the country of sheep-killing dogs, and if this Legislature does not enact something that will make the canine gentry turn pale, they have no regard for prayers and petitions. In the Senate, after the reports of the committees, the bill to repeal the new county acts of 1HÖ7 and 1K!) came up, and a debate sprang up on an amendment or a motion to concur in the recommendation for its passage, provided nothing in it should be construed to

eflect any proceed ;ngs had or jiendinp under the act of 157. Without a vote on the question the Senate adjourned. In the House a resolution was adopted, offered by Mr. Cameron, of Porter, to appoint a joint committee, seven on the part of the House and four on the part of the Senate, to prepare and report a bill apportioning the State into Senatorial and Representative districts.

A minority report was present ed at the same time, recommendir cr that Senator Anthony ' bill be referred to a select com mittee of five, to make such amendments as are deemed rijrhtto r.dapt it to the wants of the State. Mr. Conner stated that a bill would shortly be presented that would be acceptable tu all parties. A motion nas made to table the majority report, which disclosed the fact that there was not a quo ruin preseut,a.nd the Senate adjourned, the Speaker first announcing the Committee on Apportionment, under Mr. Me!lets Senate resolution, identical with Mr. Cameron's House resolution, as follows: Senators Claypool, Anthony, Wagner and Ham ilton. Hot sk. The Speaker announced the members on tlie part of the House, of the Joint Committee on Apportionment, namely: First District, Mr. Brett; seventh, Mr. McLeanjcleveiitli, Mr. Haves; ' fourth, Mr. Grover; sixth, Mr. Burpess; third. Mr. Branham; ninth. Mr. Cameron, Chairman Also, the members, on the part of the House, of the Joint Committee on Printing, under the resolution of Mr. Randall, namely: Messrs. Randall, Haworth. Cameron, McCIuri;, and Collins of Adams. Reports from committee recommended 4 the postponement as unconstitutional of tbe bill regulating the business of insurance companies 1 under charter from the State, but stated the object of tlie bill to be a good one; recommending the passage of the bills for the recovery of per son ii property, providing for an execution against the body; for the settlement of lit "'.-dan t's estates; to enlarge the leral cajacity of married women whose husbands are insane; which reports were concurred in. Mr. Bundy's bill to regulate the fees of offices, with a pending amendment, were laid on the table.

W. Miller, W. C. Thompson, M. D. Williams, and Simon Yandis, the Board of Control. The Question Settled. The Louisville Dtnvtcrat tells how the pending difficulties that distract our unhappy Republic were nearly settled on the 1st inst., between two interesting young ladies, one from the North, the other from the sunny South, pupils in Blackburn's fashionable female academy, near Port Royal, Henry county, Kentucky, by a pieceful separation of the public property. The Fourth of July was disjwsed of without much difficulty by granting to each the right of celebrating the greit event on the f cot d day of the month annually two and two ni.ikii g four thereby preserving in a mathematical way the identity of the old Fourth. Ths stars and siripe 1 question was amicably adjusted, to the satisfaction of both parties, by permitting the South to retain all of her cherishe 1 tights in aad to her stir politicians, and loving actresses; and the North guarantied to the fullest extent, and to all of her rights to striped convicts, including Fairbanks :m I Deüa Webster, of Trim ble county notoriety. General Gcarge Washington was equally divided in the middle, the North retaining the lower, and the South the other h ilf. This was deenic 1 most equitable, as the South, in the seperation, had lost her upper story, and the North its lower extremities. A stormy debate then ensued on the most vital an 1 exciting question of all, viz.: a division of Yankee Doodle" both parties preferring the

same part luring which the reporter lost sight of the subject of discord in the uproar and cl imor, and only now and then could catch a word. Much angry and abusive language was employed on both sides "Terminatt.il? in blows, Jut n-ou" the eyes And under the noWltk m my S round. In and all about the difficulty." Patriotic SrntiiiK-ntw Eloquently Exil resell . To the exclusion of other m itter. we publis this morning the eloquent and patriotic speech o ex-Pre-it!c;it Tyur, upon t .k'ii the chair of the P"icc convention, in Washington, as its pernianniit Pi-n :hltit Tf Ci n.i triiti unt mpn Is of'thp ... , vet; cr al: o 1 re.-nk'ut aiiim ttc ainl :o (vn t lie Convention, we shall have some hope that its de liberations may help to avert the dangers which now threaten the country: Gkmllmkn: I fear you have committed a great error in appointing me to the hooorsblfl position you liaic assigned me. A long separation from all deliberative bodies has rendered 'he rules of their proceedings unfamiliar to me, while I should find in my own state of health, variable and fickle ss it is, sufficient reason to decline the honor of being your presiding officer; but, in times like these, oue has but little option left him personal considerations should weigh but lightly iu the balance. The country is in danger it is enough one must take the place assigned him in the great work of reconciliation and adjustment. The voice of Virginia has invited her co States to meet her in council. In the institution of this Government that same voice was heard and com plied with, and the results of seventy odd years have, fullv attested the wisdom of the decisions tUPli adopted. Is the urgency ot her call now lesgreat than it was then? Our god like fathers create:! we have to preserve. They built up, through their wisdom ami patriotism, monuments which have eternalized their names. You have before you.gentlemen.a task equally grand, equally suhlime, quite as full of glory and immortality. You have to snatch from ruin a great and glorious Confederation, to preserve the Government, nnd to renew and in igorate the Constitution. If you reach the height of this great occasion, your children "s children will rise up and call you blessed. I confess myself ambitious of sharing in theclory of accomplishing this grand and magnificent result. To have our name. ?nrolled in tlie Capitol, to lie repeated by future generations with grateful applause, this is an honor higher than the mountains more enduring than monumental alabaster. Yes, Virginia's voice, as in the olden time, has been heard. Her sister States meet her this day at the council board. Vermont is here, bringing with her the memories of the past, reviving iu the memories of all, her Ethan Allen, and his demand for the surrender of Ticonderoga in the name of the Great .ehovah and the American Congress. New Hampshire is here her fame illustrated by memorable annals, and still mote lately, as the birthplace of him who won for himself the name of del'ei. '.er of the Constitution, and who wrote that letter to John Taylor which has been enshrined in the hearts of his country men. Massachusetts is not here (some member said she is coming) I hope so, s-aid Mr. Tyler, ami that she w ill In ing with her her daughter Maine. I did not believe it could well be that the voice which in other times was so familiar to her ears, has been addressed to her in vain. Connecticut is here, and she comes, I doubt not, in the spirit of Roger Sherman, whose name with our very children his become a household word, und who was in life the embodiment of that practical scn-e Vilich befits the great lawgivers and constructors of Governments. Rhode Island, the land of Roger Williams, is here, oue of the two last States in her jealousy of the public liberty to give in her adhesion to the Constitution, and among the earliest to hasten to its res cue. The great Empire State of New York represented thus far but by one delegates to day a fuller force to join in the great work of healing the discontents ot the times, itid restoring the reign of fraternal feeling. New Jersey is also here, with the memories of the past covering her all over. Trenton and Princeton live immuit d in st,iry the plains of the last eiicrimsoiiod with the heart's blood of Virginia's sous. Among her deleglktmn 1 rejoice to recognize a gallant sou of he signer of the immortal Declaration which anouiice.l to the world that thirteen Provinces h:;d ecomc thirteeen independent and sovereign States. And here, too, is Delaware, the land of the Bayards and the Rodneys, whose soil at Brandy wine was moistened by the blood of Virg ni.i s youthful Monroe, flere is .iinrvianu, whose missive columns wheeled into line with those of Virginia in the contest for glory, aud whose State house at Annapolis was the theater of a apectedeof a successful coram wider, who, after liberating his country, gladly uugirthed his sword and laid it down upon the altar of that country. Then conies Pennsylvania, rich in rev olutionary lore, bringing with her the dcathles names o.r Franklin and Morris, and, I trust, ready to nnew from the belfry of Independence Hall the chimes of the old bell which announced freedom and independence in former days. All hail to North Carolina! with !icr Mecklenburg declaration in her hand, standing erect on the ground of her own probity and firmness in tlie cause of public liberty, and represented in her attributes by her Macon, and in this assembly by her distinguished son, at no treat distance from me. Four daughters of Virginia also cluster around the council board, on the invitation of their ancient mother, the eldest Kentucky, whose sons, under that intrepid nsrrior Anthony Wave, gave freedom of settlement to the territory of her sister. Ohio, nnd extending his hands daily and hourly ncross La Belle Riviere to grasp the hand of some one of kindred blood of the noble States of Indiana and Illinois and Ohio, who have grown up into powerful States already grand, potent andalmost imperial. Tennessee i-not ,e but is coining, prevented GtOsn being here oil v the Hood- which have swollen her rivers, y en she arrives she will wear the badges on her warriir crest of victories won, in company with tlie Great We.-t, on m my an ensiuguined plair, and standards torn from the hands of the conquerors at Waterloo. Missouri mid Iowa and Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota still linger behind, but it may be hoped that their hearts are with us in the great work ire have to do. The eyes of the whoie country are turned to this hall and to this assembly iu expectation and hope. I trust, gentlemen, tliat you mayprove yourselves worthy of the great occossion. Our ancestors probably committed a blunder in not having fixed upon every fifth decade for a call of a general Convention to amend and reform the Constitution. On the contrary, they have made the difficulty next to insurmountable to accomplish amendments to an instrument which was perfect for five million of people, but not nholv so as to thirty million. Your ( patriotism w i:I surmount the difficulties, how ever great, if you will but accomplish but one tri - itinpli in iiih.iiiee, .mil tli.it is triumph over jtuty.
