Important from South Carolina

Charleston, Jan. %. - The Legislature has
adopted the following resolution
Rcso'ced, unanimously, That the General
Assembly of South Carolina tenders to the
Legislature Of Virginia their acknowledp.
ment of friendly motives which inspired the
mission intrusted to Hon. Judge Robertson,
her Commissioner.
Resolred, unanimously, That candor, which
IS due to the longcontinued sympathy and
respect which has subsisted between Virginia
and South Carolina, induces the Assembly to
declare with frankness, that they do not deem it
advisable to initiate negotiations when they have
no desire or intention to promote the ultimate
object in view. That object is declared in the
resolution of the Virginia Legislature to be
the procurement Of amendments or new guar.
antics IN the Constitution of the United States.
ReSotred, unanimously, That the separation
of South Carolina from the Federal Union is
final, and she has no further interest in the
Constitution of the United States and that the
only appropriate negotiations between her and
the Federal Government, are as to their mutual
relations, as foreign States.
Resotred, unanimously, That this Assembly
further owes it to her friendly relations with the
State Of Virginia, to declare that they have no
confidence in the Federal Government of the
United States; that the most solemn pledges
OF that Government have been disregsrded
that under pretence of preserving property,
hostile troops have been attempted to be intro.
duced into one Of the fortresses of this State,
concealed in the hold of vessel of commerce,
with view to subjugate the people of South
Carolina and that, even since the authorities
at Washington have been informed of the pres.
ent mediation Of Virginia, a vessel of war has
been sent to the South, and troops and muni.
tions OF war concentrated on the soil of Vir.
ginia.
Resotred, unanimously, That, in these circum.
stances, this Assembly, with renewed assu.
RANGES of cordial respect and esteem for the
people of Virginia, and high consideration for
her Commissioner, decline entering into the
negotiations proposed.
Both branches of the Legislature are in ex.
eeutive session to-day ON the correspondence
of Colonel Hayne, Governor Pickens, and the
authorities ut Washington. 1t appears that
the ultimatum Of South Carolina was the sur
render of Fort Sumter and the withdrawal of
the Federal troops that South Carolina prom.
ised to pay for the forts, and that Col. Hayne,
in Difference to the wishes of Southern Con
grcssmen, withheld the proposition. Governor
Pickens now tells Col. Hayne to make final
demand for the forts, and repudiates the posi-.
tion of the President when he says he has no
power to give them up, but must leave the
question to Congress. Gov. Pickens further
tells Col. Hayne to wait reasonable time for
au answer to the final demand, and then, if re.
fused, Fort Sumter must be taken. The Leg.
islature endorses the action. The Commits.
sioner, John s. Preston, private Envoy of South
Carolina to Virginia, was sent on to-day. Mr..
Preston is in Richmond.
