"Coercion or Compromise." Under this head the London Star, of Jan. 15, has the following: If there be, indeed, no choice but between secession and civil war, what true Republican can hesitate to acquiesce in secession?

A sham battle was soon after improvised at Sacrificios, when the usual routine of action was gone through with. A critical analysis of the condition of the squadron demonstrated the fact that every ship was short of provisions, and that it would be madness to send them on, probably, a hostile mission in such as State. The impression prevailed extensively, therefore, th

Extract of a letter from an English gentleman to his friend in Charleston, dated New York, 22d January: "I was for more than an hour with Governor Andrew, at Boston, and I gave him the full benefit of your letter to me. He at first disputed your point about Fort Sumter being capable of capture. He said he had General Scott's dictum that it would hold out three months, and was inaccessible; that you may fire two hundred shell on one spot, and do it no harm. As to secession, the Governor looks upon it as a mere cover to a reopening of the slave trade; and, as he said, 'straws show ho
