No one could have listened to the debate in the Senate to-day, brought on by the il] timed remarks of Mr. Hale, ‘without conviction that the Union !s jaston the verge ‘of dissolution. Mr. Hale, when pressed by Senator Brown, ‘Of Mississ'ppi, disclaimed baving made any menace, but ‘the just inference from bis soguage was, that those who ‘mre preparing for secession must also prepare for war. ‘Mens’s. Brown, Iverson aod Wigfal! instantly me: this Boggestion with deilance, stern and vehement enough, but Mot nearly so strovg a8 their constituenis at home will manifest, Gen. Laue’s remarks, that tho South would be disgraced if she shoald gabmit, is also stguifcapt of the Ude of veatiments. ‘There is no use disguising what is before us. Cool and magacious observers see Do prospect of avoiding @ rupture. By the Ist of February South Carolina, Georgis, Alabama, Missise'pp! and Florida will be out of tho confederacy. By what time they will have consummated such aa uo derstanding with France and Greas Britain as will enable ‘them even to set federa) coercion, should it be attempted, @t defiance, They will insert in their constitution a @lause prohibiting the importation of Africans, which ‘Will tend to concilinte the border States, and in a short time every one of the latter, excep) Delaware, perhaps, ‘will join the Southern confederacy. ‘This denouement is considered so certain that already ‘the winds of statesmen are almort exclusively turned to projecting the means and conditions of reconstruction. Disunion is sure to ocour Can ® reunion ever be ef- footed? The tone of the republicans to day allords not the Glightest prospect of such a consummation. When North. ern sentiment is ready to agree to what the South de- ‘mands, the Sewards, Sumnert, Hace, &c , mart necessa- rily vacate their present places, and make room for Conservative mon? The whole \ufuence of these and their followers, therefore, will be ihrown against concession, Indeed, Mr Hale totimated that the Nerth bad presented Ber ultimatum Southerners ask, therefore, why wait any longer’ Delays are daugerous. They are worse, ‘they are ruinous to the South. Such ts the talk of the Bewators from the cotton Atates. The President is calm ani composed. He receires con- gratulat\one from numerous visitors oa bis rm discharge of duty. , ‘There is a report that Mr. Cobb will retire from the Ca Binet to morrow, J learn that he will leave for Georgia tomorrow. He will not resign, although several gentle men, who would like to succeed Mr. Cobb, would be do Highted to hear of his resignation. ‘Mr. Cobb says that be bas never told say eno that he ‘would resign, and it i# bighly probable that, should he do #0, bis comm unication of that fact will be Ost mae to the President. Mr. Thompson has not given the renotest hint to aay Buman being that be intends to resign. The saue may ‘be sald of the Secretary of War.

The con- Sideration of vhis proposition was p-stponed for s short time, as the Secretary of the Treasury's report on the finances i# not printer, acd the members of the commit. tee are not yet prepared to decide on the proper methoc @ relet.ving the embarrasemonts of the Treasary. ‘The idea that thie i the last eeesion of our national Orngrene is becoming famtiisy to thourands, Visiters at the White House not encommonly leave with the remark ‘that they have jost looted on the last President of the United States.

Wasurvaton, Dec. 6, 1860. 4 mournful feeling prevails among all classes to day. The debste in the Sevate was listened to with solemn attention by crowded galleries.
