| COL. HAYNE's MISSION.
Col Hayne has made 10 communication YET
TO The PRESIDENT, or any member Of the Cabinet
concerning his embassy here, since the fret IN

that intention. Mr.. Buchanan's decisive reply
10 the suggestion Of Withdrawing Major Ander-
son. settled it without further correspondence.
MAJOR ANDERSGN'S ACCESS TO CHARLESTON.
The prompt manner in which Cos. Pickens
followed the advice of Meesrs. Davis, Hunter,
and Others, by allowing Major Andenoi access
TO supplies, exhibits reactive tendency there.
This concession yields the point Of treating him
as public enemy, which mas hitherto been the
case.
NORTH CAROLINA.

extended trip through North Carolina, reports
the Union sentiment to be immensely in the as

Mr.. Hollis confirmation by so decisive vote
is important as an expression Of the Senate III
favor Of his policy, and an approval of the Pres-
dents recent course. Mr.. Shdell is much eGer
cised at being so humiliatiugy defeated, beside
having his ignorance exposed by Mr.. Buchanan's
! recent Message.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
| Jefferson Davis will leave for Mississippi to-
morrow, but with the expectation Of returning TO
the Senate at no defiant day.
MARYLAND.
The leaders in Maryland, who have heretofore
urged the call of State Convention, are dis
posed to abandon that programme, as involving
serious hazards at this Time, and TO adopt more
diiereet couDsels. 1t is nov proposed to hold
| conference Of the Members OF Congress from the
| Border Slave States, which stall recommend the
people 70 adopt, as an ultimatum, the calling OF
| q Convention to amend the Constitution, or the
Cnttenden proposition, with the Bgler amend
ment. Also to advise those States TO retain
their present status undisturbed, until the ult-
matum can be disposed Of and to announce
their intention to link their destiny with the
seeded States, if satisfactory terms cannot be
obtained. Also, to urge upon the Government
and the seeded States for the hope OF reunion
and the interests of the Border States, to alb
stain from all measures likely to provoke coils

men, who assert the right Of secession, and have

on behalf Of the State authorities that Mai. An
dersOn's mail should he sent daily 10 Fort JOhn-
SOB, half way between the city and Fort SUMTER
where it would be delivered to d messenger from
