The Governor does not desire to remind the President of the responsibilities which are upon him. Respectfully, your obedient servant, A. G. Magrath. To Hon. I. W. Hayne, Special Envoy from the State of South Carolina to the President of the United States. On the arrival of Col. Hayne in Washington, ten Southern Senators, including Jeff. Davis, Slidell, Benjamin, and Wigfall, wrote him a letter, advising him to delay the demand until the seceded States should have formed a confederacy.

Senator Benjamin's farewell speech, yesterday, was most eloquent and affecting. The Republicans acted most ungentlemanly during its delivery, talking out aloud to each other, reading newspapers, and otherwise insulting the Southern side. Mr. Slidell read his address, which was able and convincing. Chagman made a good speech, and Gen.
