Governor Sprague, of R. 1., has written a letter, in which he says : The Governor of Rhode Island goes heart and hand for the repeal of the so-called Perso nal Liberty bills of his State, though they are Only unconstitutional in spirit.. The Legisla ture, which meets in January, will, without hesitation, repeal them, not from fear or cow ardice, but from a, brave determination, in face of threats and sneers, to live up to, the COnsti tution and all its guarantees, the better to testify their love for the Union, and the firmer to exact allegiance to it from all others. COERCION AS VIEWED BY A REPUBLICAN The Indianapolis Journal, the central organ of the Indiana Republicans, takes a very sen sible view of the policy of coercion, as advoca ted by the radical Republicans, to prevent se cession. In its last Thursday's issue the Jour nal makes the following remarks on the point : "You cannot compel friendship and frater nity, and if the Union is not a friendly one it is nothing, If it is not held together by love for it and trust in its benefits, it is no Union, whatever else it may be. The government will be weaker for it; the nation must be poorer for it. It will cost us much and give us noth ing. A subjugated province is always an ele ment of weakness, and not unfrequently a door for ruin, until the exasperation of defeat and humiliation have had time to wear mit, and a generation arises that has forgotten' the past in present blessings. Fight the Gulf States to compel them to love us well enough to stay with us! This is the absurdity at the bottom of coercion. The countervailing argument that the Union must be preserved is no argument at all, because the Union is not preserved by a war. If it were, we would see the wisdom of coercion at once. The Union, in its very life and essence, is broken to pieces by a war, and it is hopelessly broken. Peaceful. separation does not break the Union half so utterly and irremediably as coeraion, for time will soon teach the slave States the folly of disiution,.and bring them back, while a war will put an im passable gulf of blood in the '*atof a return forever." POSITION OF HON. C. M. CONRAD. • Hon. C. M. Conrad, Secretary of War under President Fillmore, addressed a southern rights meeting in New Or leans a few evenings since. The. Bulletin, in reporting his speech, says He could not see how any sane man =could hesitate about the alternative that was left.- -They were oalled ou for sympathy for the - Its. Han, but so help me God, said the speaker, I would rather he a Spaniard or an Italian, than be an American and live under a chief magis trate selected by the Republican party. He was for prompt and energetic action, and believed the best way to obtain co- operation was by the States acting separately. He begged all to lay aside party distinctions, and the differences growing out of peat political struggles in this community. It was impossible that such a • cause as theirs should not triumph. THE CABINET STILL UNDECIDED IN REGARD TO • THE SOUTH CAROLINA FORTS. WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.—No decisive action was taken by the Cabinet to-day relative to the Charleston forts. The President's special message will proba bly be transmitted to Congress on Wednesday. It is understood he will submit such facts as have come to his knowledge for such legisla tive action as may be considered necessary concerning the secession movements. Senator Hunter intends introducing a reso lution having in view an adjustment of the property, and other questions with any sece ding State. Mr. Treacott, Secretary of the South Caro lina Commissioners, will leave Washington for Charleston to-morrow. The commissioners will remain to await executive and legislative action. There are almost any number of . wild and improbable rumors in circulation, which, as they only serve to excite the public mind, are deemed unworthy of repetition. MORE RUMORS According to a Washington letter, there is some fear of trouble at Harper's Ferry, (Mr. Boteler's district, and the point of John Brown's invasion,) growing out of the news from Charles ton, and the fact that the government armories are there. Hon. A. R. Boteler, representative from the district, is said to have received a letter similar to the one, it may be remembered, received at the War Department on the night of the John Brown raid, in which the writer pre tends to expose a plot for another inroad into Virginia, in which a force of seven thousand men are enlisted. These rumors we give for what they are worth—and that is, probably, very little. WASHINGTON RUMORS AS TO THE APPOINTMENT OP A SUCCESSOR TO SECRETARY FLOYD. WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—The report which prevailed throughout the city this afternoon, that 'Lieut. Gen. Scott had been appointed Secretary of War, ad interim, produced a thril ling effect, and occasioned much indignation among the secessionists, who are fully aware that Gen. Scott is in favor of extensive military preparations. The truth is, Postmaster-Gen eral Holt is'in temporary charge of the War Department, and to-night was attending to duties there in company with the chief clerk. Gen. Scott has not been either at the Depart ment or President's house to-day. Both Secretaries, Thompson and Thomas, were at the Cabinet meeting to-day, though rumor had declared otherwise. Many reports prevail, with no truth for their foundation, and which serve only to add to the already intense excitement. THE UNITED STATES ARMY. By the old law the regular U. S. army con sisted of about 18,000 men. Under a law passed in 1850, authority was granted which, with fall regiments, would make a total force of 19,000. This small force is now scattered over the vast territory of the Union ; some in Utah, keeping the Mormons in order ; others in Oregon, California and Washington Terri tory, fighting the Indians; and some in Kan sas, looking after Montgomery and his "Jay hawkers." But we hear of very few located at the South, and it would probably be a diffi milt matter to concentrate a large force in that region, except of volunteers, without some weeks, or perhaps even months' notice.

It is stated that the Secretary of the Treasury has received a dispatch from Charleston, stating that the revenue cutter in the port. Of Charleston had been seized by the authorities, the captain of which, who is a native of Charleston, having previottsly resigned. The Navy Department, it is stated, has re ceived a: dispatch from Lieut. James P. Foster, commanding the slaver Bonita, which was carried into Charleston, stating that his pritio ner, the captain of the slaver, had been taken before a State judge by writ of habeas corpus; that the judge remanded the prisoner to his custody, on the ground that he had no juris dietion, and that on his way to the Bonita with his prisbrier, he had been taken by foree from his custodrby a mob. [From the Journal of Commeraej in one of the great speeches'of Lord Ei4ikine there is a beautiful and true remark, .to , tha effect that there is nothing valuable, whether in science, art, morals, religion, or anything else, that can be acquired without exertion.— Not only are patient toil and study requisite for progress in all knowledge and every pursuit, even in that which is most necessary to human existence, but also in all that concerns a man's duty in. this Jiff! and destiny hereafter. This is as true in the experience of nations as of individuals. What a painful and long continued training those nations-, have been compelled to pass through which haye reached either eminence in true civilization, ar excel lence in civil and political government! ' The history of the world presents no exception to this general rule. Look at England. How crooked and thorny was her pathway from the reception of the Magna Charts.. at Runnymede in 121E4 to the Revolution of 1689 and the ac cession of William and Mary, when the Consti tution may be said in a good degree to have become a well defined and consistent compact. Her subsequent history shows; that all was not attained, even iA that great event, -which was desirable and necessary. England has been making her political education during almost six centuries and a half; nor has she completed it.yet. flow much Swecdeft has yet tO learn, every one 'who is acquainted with the COnstitution of that ancient kingdom knows ft:lll*TM Holland made great advances, but even she (and. She differs but little more than in name from what she wee when a Republic) is far from having reached the character. of a p4rfietgovernm4nt, Hungary, the oldest constitutional State -in Europe, would probably have made great pro gress had she not been forced to serve as a barrier to defend Christendom against the bloodthirsty Turks for almost three centuries, and fallen finally into the cruel embraced the House of Hapsburg. As to Switzerland; she made scarcely a step of progress beyond the merest elements of political science, until within the last eight or ten years. France, as a nation, has learned a little, and that little within the last seventy years, notwithstanding her dread ful experience, and notwithstanding the great theoretic science in government which many of her writers have displayed. Belgium, with a small homogeneous population, has done better. • Italy is not, going to prove an exception to the position which wehave taken. In our ex uberant joy at 'witnessing the guecessive over throw of Austrians, Austrian Dukes and Nea politan Bourbons, we jumped to the Conclusion that Italy was redeemed and free. Alas, we have little known what it costs to give nations good constitutional forms of government., anti make them beer them with ease and contentment.— Already do we see in Tuscany the manifestation of a desire for Tuscan independence. The an nexation of the Duchy to the kingdom of Sar dinia has destroyed the hopes of many, and among them those of Sig. Montanelli, who might expect to play an important part in a separate Duchy, but who can be 'nothing more than an honorable citizen in a Kingdom of Italy. The same spirit shows itself in Naples, where already the Sardinian yoke has become irksome to many. The cry is rot exactly for the restor ation of Francis 11., who unfortunately is not yet dislodged from - Gaeta, but for .some change or other. The professed friends of Garibaldi are clamorous for his return to power in Lower Italy. It is quite possible that Victor Em manuel will be compelled to yield to this de mand. It is extremely doubtful whether the King, popular as he is himself, can long dis pense with the services and influence of the popular military chieftain. Neither Parini at Naples, nor La Farini in Sicily; can ever, it is probable, have the hold which Garibaldi as en the people of both. His presence will, we fear, soon be needed in both. In the meanwhile, Joseph Illazzini and his folloWers are doing all they can to undermine and ruin the government of Victor Emmanuel in Naples. It is evident that between the driving away of Francis 11., and Pius IX., and the rendering homogeneous 23,000,000 of Italians and com pletely reconciling them to his sway, Victor Emmanuel will have his hands full far a good while, without attacking Venetia. SLIGUT VOCAL MISAPPREUENVON. — The bore who is the greatest of all bores is he that reads to you aloud. If he reads his own com position he deserves death. A Parisian gen tleman afflicted with the presence of a young poet who was given to this trick, shut his mouth forever in the following manner: 1 The bore had read a poem an hour long. At its close he was overwhelmed with compliments and felicitations, for there is some remnant of lip-politeness yet extant in Paris: 'But people looked into each other's countenances with silent gloom. Was this a precedent' for future inflictions ? If so, the re-union might as well be broken up at once. The host, a gentleman of exceeding tact, divined what was passing in the minds of his guests, and restored confidence by a stroke worthy of a Telleyrand. Approaching the youthful poet modestly await. ing the anticipated tribute to his genius, the gentleman seized both his hands, and in a de lighted tone exclaimed, "My dear air! You cannot imagine how much I am pleased and astonished I I thought you ere a tenor, when, in reality, your voice is a very fine barittine I" The incipient bard is not likely to read any more verses in that house, as may wen b e i m _ a lined. TUE EXILED DUKElL—According to recent advices the exiled Italian Dukes arts preparing for «hard times." The Duchess , Regent of Parma has reduced by half the emoluments of her representatives at the European Courts.— The Grand Duke of Tuscany and the Duke of Modena have determined to suppress all their representatives at the end of the year. From the month of DeCember the troops of • the Duke of Modena will be informed that they are, at liberty to return hoine or to enter the Austrian regiments in Venetia. These a r e piatty good proofs that these princes are sufficiently con vinced of the impossibility, of q. imatoration, even though Austria should succeed 4 snow ing the war.
