NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE,

audacious ]. anus
COL. UA YEs AND THE PRESIDENT.
coI Hayne of South Carolina had an interview
with the President this afternoon, by appoint
mept. Mt o'clock, wheo the object of his mis-.
sion here was to be revealed He was probably
turned over TO the War Depai tment or at least
that was the understanding as the proposed
course before meeting. Col. Hayne is only re-
cognzed as a private citizen, and it is probable
Mr.. Holt will require any communication from
him to be made in writing, in order to prevent
the misapprehensons which attended the inter-
course with the late Commissioners.
1t is understood that the requirements of Gov.
Pickens are of character not to be seriously
entertained here, and contemplate the with
drawal of the troops.
MAJ. ANDERSON AND FORT SUMTER.
No proposition for the transfer of Maj. Ander-
sons command from Fort Sumter to Moultre
has been yet suggested, and it is considered too
absurd TO merit attention. Ii is the key of the
position, and can be held against any force which
South Carolina can send as long as the supplies
last and there are men to serve the guns. On
this score there is no doubt whatever, and Gov.
Pickens knows the formidable character of
the place much to well too attack it.
Lieut.. Hall, who brought dispatches from Ma
ior Anderson, has been called to New-YOrk by
the illness of near relative.
Lieut.. Talbot will start for Fort Sumter to-
morrow evening, bearing the orders of Govern
ment to Major Anderson in regard to his fuVure
operations
GEORGIA.
The Disunionists confidently claim 200 of the
800 delegates elected 10 the Georgia Convention,
as for immediate secession, and the other third
as ready to adopt whatever action may be pre-
sented by the majority. Mr.. TOOmbs has gone
to add fuel to the flame, and will not scruple at
any means to accomplish his end.
TIE TREASURY NOTES.
Since the Cabinet has become unit, and
there is some evidence Of concert and determine
ton to maintain the Government capitalists are
more inclined to sustain it with their means and
influence. The principal bids for the five mil
lions of Treasury notes, which are to be opened
on the 10Th will not be made before Friday, but
there is every reason to believe they will be
taken at several per cent lower interest than the
last Ii may not exceed seven, at least such is
the present expectation.
THE PEACE OF WASHINGTON.
Gen. SCOTS arrangements and precautions for
the protection of the peace here are ample and
nearly completed, if any attempt at rufianism
should exhibit itself, which is not now seriously
apprehended. Still there are some bad elements
conspiring, and they may as well know what is
in store for Them if public order should be out
ragged.
TIE PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The Pacific Railroad obtained precedence in
the Senate, over Mr.. Crittendens resolutions, by
six majority on a test vote. Subsequently, Mr.
Rice's motion to postpone the subject indefinitely
was voted down by more than three to one.
THE GREAT ROBBERY.
No material evidence was gained, and no bonds
were recovered by the excursion Of the Investi-
eating Committee TO New-YOrk, though the cost
and mileage Of witnesses were saved, which count
something in the presence of an exhauste exchequer
There is no mode of ascefaining precisely how
many millions of acceptances Dir. Floyd issued
1t is clear he put all that could be sold or by
pothecated for money. He considers himself an
injured citizen, and probably because two mil
lions of Indian bonds were left in the safe which
might just as well have been borrowed for all
time.
MIR. STATIONS SPEECH.
Mr.. Stanton of Ohio made a most effective and
able speech to-day, in reply TO the secession
harangue of Mr.. Reagan of Texas. He annlhi-
lated every position taken by the latter, and
demonstrated conclusiyely that all his charges
against the Republicans were unfounded, and
made only to excite false prejudice at The South.
Both sides of the Chamber expressed satisfaction
at this effort, which was manly and impromptu.
THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.
The first reception of the President tonight
attracted large and brilliant display OF the
distinction, fashion, and society here.
To the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Jan. IS, 1861.
II is reported that private adyces from Baton Rouge
are TO the effect that the election of delegates to the
Louisiana Convention resulted in majority against
secession.
The speech Of Mr.. MeClernand of Illinois, in ts geo.
graphical commercial and national Significance, pro-
ducng quite sensation here. 1t IL raying the Union
feeling.
1t is understood that the South Carolina agents
here demand the unconditional evacuation Of FortSum
ter with view to avoid the shedding Of blood. The
Administration has not yet considered the propositions
Dispatches received in Southern circles to-day ray
that Georgia will secede from the Union by Saturday
On the happening Of this the delegates from South
Carolina Alabama, Florida, Misssfipp and Georgia;
