The news.

--The telegraph this morning informs us that the South Carolina troops have taken possession of the U. S. Arsenal at Charleston. The U. S. Revenue cutter Harriet Lane has been ordered from New York to Charleston, and left yesterday for that port. A rumor prevailed in Washington yesterday that Gen. Scott was acting as Secretary of War, but the latest dispatches last night announce that the post is at present filled by Mr. Holt. The opinion seems to prevail in Washington that it is doubtful whether Congress will have a quorum again. The Senate Crisis Committee yesterday asked to be discharged, having been unable to agree upon any plan of compromise.
