MORE DEVELOPMENTS.

An article was published IN the Charleston
Courier some time since, charging the South
Carolina Delegation with having held a meet
ing, in which il was proposed that that Dele
CATION should leave their seats and return
home. The statement was soon after denied
by Mr.. Hayns, Senator from that State. The
p bile were satisfied with Mr.. H. s explanation,
and tho subject was likely soon to have been
forgotten. But Mr.. Mitchell, of the same de-
legation, is determined to set matters to-rigbt,
and has addressed tho annexed letter to Mr..
Hayne, which must necessarily place that gen.
tleman in an unpleasant situation. The Intel
l~igencer. in speaking Of this affair, says-"Wc
shall refrain from all common upon it, until
Mr.. Hayne, and others concerned, have an
opportunity to be heard ru reply. There is a
connection, however, between the facts dis
closet in this letter. aid the CoIieton proceed
ings, and other incidents that have taken
place since tho adjournment Of Congress,
leaving on the mind painful impressions,' which
II will not DO very easy TO eradicate. The
whole attention OF our readers will, VIC know,
be attra cted TO this subject, until every thing
relating TO It 10 disclosed. We wish it were
possible 10 resist the belief Of the substantial
truth of tho statements which Mr.. Mitchell
has felt himself bound to make"
