Affairs in South Carolina. Charleston, Dec. 29. --The Convention met at the usual hour. A message from Collector Colcock announced that himself and all his subordinates had commenced receiving duties under the authority of South Carolina, and were transferring other business in the name of the State. Dunkin said the Legislature had recently permitted the Banks of the State to delivered specie payment, and now specie was at 1 per cent. premium. This operated very unequally and unjustly; duties were payable in specie, and taxes were payable in the notes of the Banks. He offered a resolution that the collectors of the State should be authorized to receive duties in any bills of the Bank of the State. A motion to refer the resolution to the Committee on Foreign Relations was lost. The President received a communication from the Governor in relation to the harbor, and the Convention went into a secret session. [second Dispatch.] Charleston, Dec. 29.
