The ultimatum of South Carolina refused by the General Government. Washington, Feb, 7.--The N. Y. Herald's correspondent says the President's reply to Col. Hayne was transmitted yesterday. It calls for an answer from Hayne, which will be made immediately. This will close the correspondence. The Government refuses to comply with the demand of South Carolina for the surrender of Fort Sumter. All hope of a peaceable solution of the question is abandoned. There has been an apparent disposly. This will close the correspondence. The Government refuses to comply with the demand of South Carolina for the surrender of Fort Sumter. All hope of a peaceable solution of the question is abandoned. There has been an apparent disposition on both sides to delay matters in hope an amicable adjustment might be made, leading to peace in Charleston harbor, but the matter cannot further be postponed. Carolina has presented her ultimatum, and the Government has positively refused to comply.
g party, will never touch the wharf. Moreover, that wharf is made of loose blocks of granite, submerged, of course, and wholly unfit to keep his "powder dry." We are all in better spirits to-day than for some time. We croakers are beginning to take long breaths. We now think that affairs look a little more pacific, although on single misstep may plunge us all into the deepest trouble, let that step be taken by the Administration, or by either of the seceding States. It is the full and firm determination of our government here, that nothing shall be done by which any pledge made by us shall be broken, or that any irritating menace shall give occasion of offence to the government at Washington. This has been her "status" all the time, and although many have gnashed upon us, yet no one will dare to say that any dishonorable act has been committed by South Carolina, or that she has acted in any other way than a free, generous, and noble people have a right to Virginius.

Senate.--The usual compromise memorials were tabled. Mr. Thompson, of New Jersey, made a short speech in reply to Senator Ten Eyck, of the same State, and was in turn replied to by him. Mr. Collayer presented a petition from Vermont, asking the adoption of the Border State resolutions, which he opposed in his speech. The President's Message was taken up. Mr. Winfall, of Texas, replied to Johnson, of Tenn., in a befitting manner, saying that Senator misrepresented South Carolina, and was extremely tart upon him as an ally of the Republicans. He argued at great length in defence of the constitutional right of secession. He defended Davis, of Miss., (now absent,) from the assaults of Johnson, and compared the latter to a jackal preying on a dead lion. [In consequence of applause the galleries were cleared.] Mr. Winfall continued, saying it was no object to the South whether they had peace or war. Cotton was a sure defence in war or trade. Adjourne
