ON THE OTHER TACK.

The New York Times seems to have disco.
vered its mistake in menacing dissolution
OF the Union. 1t now pretends to believe
that the South is threatening dissolution. and
| 1t lntimates that the North will compel the
oouth TO remain. Of course, the Times edi-
tor is only trying to escape from the false
position he has blundered into. What does
the South want to dissolve for? Not on ac-
count OF the rendition of Burns The Times
may rest assured that the South does not
consider 1t grievance that the abolitionists
were ANONYMOUSLY defeated in that case; that
1helr teeth were made to chatter, and their
ilps turn white at the presence of that nine
Po""der; that they were compelled to bow
| Their necks to the law, at the point of the
| bayonet. We like all this; we feel new love
tor the Union on account of it; and, so long
| as the laws are successfully indicated, the
South will remain in the Union, giving her
Tree consent, however, to those who are dis
| satisfied, to leave it whenever they please
The suggestion of the Times, that VIM. II
Seward may be elected President, and should
the South wish to secede on that account
will draw the Executive sword upon her, is
characteristic of the Times 1t wants to be
very aggravating, but its capacity is not equal
| to its malice We are in great alarm lest
the Times should accompany VIM. II. Sew
| ard in person, when he comes to chastise the
South. The bare thought of Seward, com,
mander-in chief of the U. S. Army, mounted
on a white charger, and leading an army to
~ IL.
| ofthe Tribune and Times in his train, is tar
rafyang in the extreme We think this in
vasion must be typified in the book of Reve-
| lations, wherei speaks of a pale horse, and
Death and Hell following after him.

BRITISH SQUADRON IN THE BALTIC

Sir Charles Napier, the gallant old admi-
raj. from whom so much was expected, has
as yet done nothing. Whether he is ham,
pered by orders from home, or whether he
has concluded that Cronstadt is too strong
Tor naval attack, it is impossible to say
AT the last accounts, he had determined to
anchor his ships across the Gulf of Finland,
so as to interfere with the communications
between Helsingfors and st. Petersburg. A
New York journal learns from a source of
the highest responsibility that the real rea
son OF Napier inaction is, that he finds his
steamships nearly useless for purposes of
actuai lighting, owing to the liability of the
machinery to get out of order from the con-
eassion OF the ships own broadside 1t is
"adeo that the experiment of steam propel
leu men-ot-war is demonstrated a failure. and
tha1 this is the real reason why neither Cren.
stad1 nor Sevastopol are seriously assailed
we are not enclined to put entire credence
IN this statement. The propellers are con.
structed to act either under sail or steam, and
therefore, even if deprived of one of these
agents, such a seaman as Sir Charles Napier
would hardly remain inactive. But if it be
'fue that the steam-propelled men. war are
failure, Nicholas is likely to come out of
the war with flying colors.
