From !Fashington-The Loan BHl-2te
ioiuder Of Col. Hayne to the President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The President has ap
proved and signed the twenty-five million loan
bill, which passed both Houses as originally re-
ported with amendments pending that the reve'
nue. from the LOAN authorized by the act of June
1850, or so much as may be deemed necessary,
shall be applied to the redemption of the Tren-
surv notes issued under the act Of last Decem.
Der. and for no other purpose.
The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized
to exchange par bonds Of the United States for
said Treasury notes at legal interest and shall
not he Obliged TO accept the most favorable bids
as provided for unless he shall consider theIn-ad'
vantaecous to the United States, and any por-
ton Of said loan not taken under the first ad-
verliscmcnt, he may again advertise according
to his discretion.
Certain, distinguished Virginians have tele-
rraphed to Governor Pickens, requesting him
to Still rorbear assaulting Fort Sumter. The
Governor has replied that he would take into
respectful consideration any suggestion from
them, but could give no definite answer until
he shall receive the Presidents co1nrnunlca-
ton, and sustain the grounds Of the latters re-
fusal to surrender Fort Sumpter.
The letter Of Colonel Hayne in rejoinder to
the Presidents reply through the Secretary Of
War, was not received by the President until
after the special message and accompanying
documents we're yesterday ready for transmits
sion to Congress.
If the President has deemed proper to an
sver the aejoinder, it together with the reply,
would have been included in the documents.
Col. Hayne having left the city early Yesterday
,norrinr his re;oinder was returned to him
throur6 the mail, addressed to Charleston.

There she sits in her Southern home,
Peerless among the peers,

There is sap in her Saxon tree,
And she litteth bosom of glory yet

The Assault on Fort Sumter.

We find the following account OF the pre-
parations being made at Charleston for the rs
sault on Fort Sumter in the Charleston CORES
pondcnce OF the n y. Evening Post
spoke in my last at some length Of thu
preparations at the forts in the harbor, and in
c:dcntally Of the construction OF floating bate
ries. One of these lies in the East Bay at the
Palmetto wharf, not far from the foot Of Haze
street, where, this afternoon, visited it. Here
is the result Of my observations
1t will consist of q huge Platform OF pine
beams, about fourteen inches square, power
framed and bolted together and adapted te
float upon the water. At one cnd thick planks
oc the same material and similarly fastened
stretch awards and outwards for about TWEEN
" feet, ut an angle of perhaps seventy degrees,
met at the top by sharper and shorter one,
from the summit Of which bomb.proof roo
will slope to the rear Of the platform, joining
another short projecting angle enclosing the
battery on that quarter
The taller end, faced exteriorly with three
or four thickncsses Of railroad iron, and pro-
vided on the inside with q lining Of sand-bags
or cotton bales, is intended for the receipt Of
four cannon, forty.two FOUNDERS, protruding
from ortices cut for that purpose. lowed
down 20 Fort Sumter, anchoring almost be-
neatl, its walls, when the attack shall COM
mencc, this formidable battery is expected to
be Of signal service IN ctfectinga breach, while
its peculiar construction may cause the balls
Of the bcsicged to glance aside or mitigate the
damage done by them.
At least q score Of worklnen are engaged
upon its construction When it is completed,
and perhaps another, look for exciting news
from Charleston. With these batteries, with
those at Pelican's Point, Forts Moultrie and
johnson all ready, with what cannon and am
munition we have, we shall be prepared to
make final demand Of the government and Of
Major Anderson for the surrender of Fort Sum;
ter: in the event Of their refusal awaiting some
cloudy night, to put the question at the can
mons mouth. Then the towns people, aroused
from uneasy slun,bsrs by the roar Of those in
strumepts, the invention Of which is attributed,
nv Milton, to the Devil himself, will know that
the Devils work Of fratricidal strife has indeed
begun, and thewar commenced in earnest
-, Not till then, though. We shall keep every
thing quie: until the last moment, as long as it

Tie Northern Pocket nerrc touehed.-A Bomb

The Magic Pcnace0.-"Ao step backward
de-,
WASHINGTON, Feb S.-The day appears to
be dawniag when the rights Of the South are
about to be vindicated by her decision and
frmncss. The vital interests Of the North
have been touched and her moneyed men
evince remarkably earnest disposition to give
any guarantees required Tor the permanency OF
the Union.
4 yirginian Of high reputation remarked
tonight that Mr.. Astor, Of New York, told him
he would give ,uillion Of dollars if necessary
TO that end. The most astute Republican
members begin to see that unless they satisfy
the demands of the capitalists, the government
will be without resources.
Mr.. Keilogg's speech to-day fell like bomb
shell in the House, causing CONSERVATION in the
Republican ranks
The Peace Conference is still earnestly en-
gagged in the consideration Of plan Of adjust
ment, and the delegates hourly grow more
hopeful. a patriotic spirit prevails. Notwith
standing all this, no one has been yet been able tc
define the magic plan which is to restore peace
But ':whcrc there's will there's way,
and it is very evident tina. the ''wilr' is mo-
wanting now among the leading politicians ant
monicd men Of the North. Let Virginia re
