Eastern News.

From some suspension or Indian
fficu,ies-the Pony Express has failed to
arrive for week-the last dates by it being
from ST. Louis TO January l4th, and as q
necessary result we have to fall back upon
the Overland Mail for the latest information,
which it brings down TO the 10th.
The previous report that Toombs had in
sulted Gen. Scott, and was challenged in
consequence, turns out to he silly tabrica-
tion, and has been contradicted through the
press by Gen. Scott himself
Senator Toombs and family has left
Washington for Georgia. The Alabama del
egation was expected soon to withdraw from
Congress. Mr.. Davis, of Missippi, was sick,
but i! was expected upon his recovery that
he would make farewell speech in the Sen
ate. 1t is said that every withdrawal adds
to the chance Of The passage of compromise
measures. Mr.. Stewards late speech has
been received with favor by moderate Re
pubicans, and bitterly denounced by the u-
tras of that party. Union men express the
hope that Seward will yet come up to the
support of Critenden's resolutions.
Among the numerous lying reports start
ed by newspaper correspondents, is one that
steamers are being fitted out at New York
and New Orleans to seize the inward bound
California steamers and secure the gold bull
lion.
The opinion prevails in Washington, in
secession circles, that all collisions should be
studiously avoided.

Convention to settle the difficulties of the
country
1t is stated that resolutions bad unan-
mousy passed the Legislature of South
Carolina, declaring that and atteupt by the
Federal Government to reinforce Fort Sum
ter would be regarded as declaration Of
war; and approving of the act Of the mill
tary, in firing into thel Star of the Vest.
As the Legislature adjourned some time ego,
it is difficult to reconcile this statement.
