Hayne, the Attorney-General of South Carolina, proceeded to Washingtonate upon the adjustment of its relations with the United States. Hayne had, however, scarcely reached his destination when a superior inflhis committee began and carried on a dilatory correspondence with Mr. Hayne and with the President, which they managed to prolong into Februa ended. On February 6th, Secretary Holt wrote for the President to Hayne, that neither the proposed sale of Fort Sumter, nor its relinquishme highest national importance. This closed the correspondence, and Hayne went home to report the second failure to obtain the forts by diplotness; while on the other hand, on February 4th, two days preceding Hayne's dismissal, the Provisional Congress of the rebel States assembledssaulted by the rebels, or preparations were made to do so.

Jan. 31. The State of South Carolina, by her attorney-general, I. W. Hayne, offered to buy Fort Sumter, and declared that, if not permitted to purchase, she would seize the fort by force of arms. The United States, in reply, asserted political rights superior to the proprietary right, and not subject to the right of eminent domain. --Times, Feb. 9. The United States branch mint, and the custom-house at New Orleans, seized by the State authorities. In the mint were government funds to the amount of $389,000, and in the sub-treasury, $122,000--(Doc. 29.)--Louisville Journal, Feb. 2.

. Another commissioner (the Hon. I. W. Hayne) was sent to Washington by the governor of South Carolina to effect, if possible, an amicable and peaceful transfer of the fort, and settlement of all questions relating to property. This commissioner remained for nearly a month, endeavoring to accomplish the objects of his mission, but was met only by evasive and unsatisfactory answers, and eventually returned without having effected anything. There is one passage in the last letter of Colonel Hayne to the President which presents the case of the occupancy of Fort Sumter by the United States troops so clearly and forcibly that it may be proper to quote it. He writes as follows: You say that the fort was garrisoned for our protection, and is held for the same purposes for which it has been ever held since its construction. Are you not aware, that to hold, in the territory of a foreign power, a fortress against her will, avowedly for the purpose of protecting her citizens, is per

Under the circumstances now existing, and which need no comment by me, I have determined to send to you Hon. I. W. Hayne, the Attorney-General of the State of South Carolina, and have instructed him to demand the delivery of Fort Sumter, in the harbor of Charleston, to the constituted authorities of the State of South Carolina. The demand I have made of Major me with the duty of replying thereto. In the communication addressed to the President by Governor Pickens, under date of the 12th January, and which accompanies yours now before me, his Excellency says: I have determined to send to you the Hon.

Haskell has been dispatched on a special mission to Washington, with important dispatches and instructions from Col. I. W. Hayne. Mr. Haskell, it is thought, will reach the above city to-day. Mr. Hayne will await the receipt of these before taking any final action on the subject with which he is charged. Union and compromise meeting in Detroit, Michigan.

Detroit, Mich., Jan. 30. --A large meeting of citizens favorable to the plan of the Border State Committee assembled in the City Hall, last evening, pursuant to a call of the Mayor. The hall was densely packed and hundreds were unable to obtain admittance. The meeting was addressed by prominent Democrats and Republicans. Resolutions were adopted favoring the admission of the territory South of 36.30 as a State with or without slavery and all North of the line as free; the amendment

From Charleston. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Charleston, Jan. 30, 1861. You need not rely at all upon any of the thousand and one rumors by telegraph and letters sent from this place concerning political affairs and complications of South Carolina. They are all guess work and vague reports. No one in this city, outside of the Governor and his Cabinet, knows what are the instructions to Col. Hayne, or whether he is instructed to demand Fort Sumter or not; and I now write hastily to say, nothing that has been or may be said, unless it be over the Governor's signature, can be relied on at all. All that I have said to you on the subject, has been the general impression of well-informed citizens and my own, and we know actually nothing, and in these times of excitement, it is best, I think, not to add unnecessary alarm and uneasiness. I have two friends here, gentlemen heretofore antipodes in their belief as to the ultimate direction things would take, who now

From Charleston.[Special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Charleston, Feb. 4, 1861. Certainly we begin to breathe easier. We bet that the madness that has ruled the hour at Washington, has reached its culminating joint. Nothing has transpired as to Colonel Hayne's finale; nor is there anything known, except that he has demanded the unconditional at surrender of Fort Sumter, of the President, and that he has communicated the same to Congress. The impression prevails here, in well-in-formed circles, that the first act of the Southern Congress at Montgomery will be to demand all the forts and arsenals situated in the molding States, and that the demand will be granting. I have seen no one who supposes for a moment that anything will be effected by the Convention now being held in Washington, and that the whole thing will break up with a worse understanding than at present. The army of this State continues to increase, and the severest training continues. The f
