From Washington.

which will be submitted to the House at an early
day is one of instruction TO the Committee on the
Judiciary looking to the amendment of the neutral
ity laws TO prevent armed expeditions against
countries with which at peace, and to re-
strain volunteer military forces going from State
TO another for the purpose Of aiding in resistance to
the Federal laws.
A number of Congressman have prepared speeches,
several Of which strongly in favor of coercion
and of such character as cannot fall to produce
additional excitement.
Leading gentlemen of Missouri are privately dis
cussing the question of the separate independence
OF that State rather than be involved in the extreme
secession movement.
The Constitution, in noting the resignation of Gen
Cass says " To avoid ali misconstructiOn or mis-
statement of the which caused this event. we
have taken pains to ascertain the true 1t is
not that rCass differed from the President in regard
to any portion of his late message the great ques
ton of coercing a State to remain in the Union by
military force, the President and Gen. Cass were per
fectly united in opinion. The difficulty arose from
the fact that Mr. Cass insisted that the naval and mill
tary force should be sent Immediately to Charleston
to reinforce the forts in the harbor, and that the
President was of opinion that there was no neees-
sity for any such measure in order to secure the
forts against attack.

Augusta, Ga, Dec. l5.-It is understood that Sen
ator Toombs is about leaving for Washington HI
has just published "a letter in reference to the fiji
article of the Constitution. He says if the Consti
tuition should be amended, the amendments should
be such as neither could be eVaded or resisted by
the Abolition States, and such as would give full
and ample security to Southern rights. He adds
that if the Republican party will vote for these
amendments. or even a majority vote In good 1aith
in favor Of them they can easily be carried through
Congress and then he thinks it would be reasonable
and fair to postpone final action by the Southern
States until the Legislatures Of the Northern states
could be conveniently called together for definite
action On the amendment IN regard 10 the ferson
al liberty Rils il the Northern States refuse to ae-
nriesce IN this then he urges reorga TO seeede, at
the latest, by the 4th of March
The Legislature viii adjourn next Wednesday.
