he President's plan South Carolina to postpone secession on the 4th of March next will hardly avail.-- As South Carolina member said to me this evening, "We have spiked that gun." Senator Seward is willing to grant the South Almost anything, but the Tribune of this morning says, "Let the winds howl on; the free States will not surrender their principles on account of threatened disunion." Greeley's own article states the case, but takes no decided ground, so there is no day light yet. All that money, beauty, place and power, can do, will be brought to bear in favor of Union. We shall see Southerners, heretofore fiery, backing down. Messrs Cobb, Thompson, Jeff, Davis, and Fitzpatrick of Alabama, have, it is rumored, yielded to the President's pious appeal for staving off secession. If so, the South will be paralyzed, and the Union saved for a time.--Mississippi is reported fishy. Still, it is believed that six States will be out of the Union before thirty days. Z.

pending difficulties. Mr. Milison followed in reply. He argued that the Territorial question had already been settled by Congress and the Supreme Court, in favor of the South--that neither the election of Lincoln nor the Personal Liberty bills justified disunion. He was against coercion. The question should be settled by a convention of the people. He gave reasons why he objected to the admission of New Mexico.--His speech was conciliatory, and expressed the hope that peace would be restored and the seceding States return. Mr. Cobb did not join his colleagues in signing the communication addressed to the Speaker, announcing the secession of Alabama, and withdrawing from the further deliberations of the House. The bill which passed the House Saturday, for the payment of the California war debt, appropriates $400,000. It was incurred in the suppression of Indian hostilities. The appropriation was made on the principle recognized as to other States for like services.

Congressional. Washington, Jan. 30. --House.--Mr. Cobb, of Ala., presented the Ordinance of Secession of that State and withdrew, expressing his regret at the necessity of leaving. He exhorted the Republicans to do something to restore peace to the distracted country. Mr. Reynolds, of N. Y., from the Committee of Five, reported a bill authorizing the President to call out the militia in certain cases. Mr. Branch, of N. C., presented a counter report. Mr. Cochrane, of N. Y., presented another report against secession, but also against coercion. He also reported a bill, in effect that when the revenue laws are obstructed in any State, the President may issue a proclamation suspending them, to be restored if the State returns to the Union. The report was recommitted. The Philadelphia Working Men's petition was presented. The resolutions of the Ohio. Democratic Convention were presented and referred to a select committee of five.

e to swear fealty to the new Government. The day was a deliciously balmy one, and the ladies turned out in larger numbers than I have ever seen them. After the preliminary business of opening the session had been transacted, the President, Mr. Cobb, rose and announced that it was in order to administer the oath pledging support to the "Constitution for the Provisional Government of the Confederate States." Hon. R. Walker, one of the Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of Alabama, asche Scriptures. The President remained standing at the desk. Judge Walker said: "You do solemnly swear that you will support the Constitution for the Provisional Government of the Confederate States of America, so help you God?" Mr. Cobb answered, "I do," and reverentially kissed the book, which he retained in his hand. The delegates from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina were then summoned, each representative in turn, to the President, an

or, whose name I failed to hear. After the tumultuous shouts of greeting had been stilled, Mr. Cobb came forward and spoke as follows: "We have assembled to inaugurate the President of the r. Manly." At the conclusion of the prayer of the Doctor, the President was introduced by Mr. Cobb in these words: "Gentlemen of Congress, allow me to announce the presence of the President, Jefarty applause evidenced that the words of the speaker found a responsive echo in their hearts. Mr. Cobb administered the oath of office prescribed by Congress, which Mr. Davis responded to in the worns were given, to the evident anger and annoyance of that gentleman, but the commanding call of Mr. Cobb, "Music!" "Music!" caused the crowd to realize the impropriety of their conduct. By request of the President, Mr. Cobb stated that to-night, at 8 o'clock, he would hold a levee at Estell Hall, the first of the Presidential receptions. The Congress then returned to their Chamber, the crowd dis

From Charleston. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Charleston, Feb. 21, 1861. It is pretty well understood here that Mr. Memminger, of this city, is to be Mr. Davis' Secretary of State; and it is also rumored that Mr. Cobb (not Howell, his brother,) is to be Secretary of the Treasury; Mr. Toombs, Secretary of War; Mr. Conrad, of Louisiana, Secretary of the Navy; Interior, ,Hon. Mr. Boyce, of South Carolina; Postmaster General, Judge Chilton, of Alabama; and Attorney General, Mr. Benjamin, of Louisiana.--This may be so, but no one knows positively. I said to you a few days ago, upon what was good authority, that President Davis would be here to day. Official business prevents it. We are getting exceedingly impatient with the slow movements of affairs in every direction; and I do not think that the people of the Southern Confederacy will much longer endure the menaces of these forts and the taunts in various quarters. As for that Peace Conference in Washin
