Danger in the Dark.

That we have barely escaped great
danger, is just being revealed to the
American people. 1t will be, remem-
bered that quito sensation was created
some time ago by circular froE secre.
tary Seward, to the Governors ef the
Free States, calling upon them to have
their sea and lake coasts fortified against
any contingency 1t was given out in
certain quarters that we were on the eve
of war with England-that England
was about to join the Confederate States
and fight US for the sake Of the cotton
| Of the South, &c.
Russell, the correspondent Of the Lon
don Times, now says in one of his letters
that "three months ago, the danger of a
war between England and the United
States, was iminent, urged and precipi
tated by the violence of American states
men, and only averted by the prudence
good will, and moderation Of an Ameri
can Senator" -
This astounding announcement has
startled the nation, and explanations of
the mystery are beginning to be unfolded.
So much seems to be pretty well settIed d
that we have a Secretary of State,
able in many things, and patriotic be-
yond question, but hampered in his pol
icy with the idea of somehow affecting
compromise with the rebels. And
that with this idea uppermost, and from
an easy disposition, like some other
amiable gentlemen, he has been too
prone to bunk" with Professed Union
men in the border Slave States, and
to follow their Suggestions. And it is
asserted that some Of these "conserva-
tive" loving shareholders Of the
B order States, conceived the sublime
idea-or for ulterior purposes, induced
Secretary Seward to fall in with it-that
if war could be got up between the
United States and England, the seeded
States would be glad to have pretext
to return to their allegiance, and woulG
at once unite with the Government te
repel the foreign enemy, and then, un.
der the good feeling this would produce
a compromise, v could be effected, which
would close the war at home and i'm
mortalize the Secretary of State, &c.
Strange and incredible as it may seem
it is supposed that our good -naturec
Secretary of State fell into the trap thus
cunningly set for him, and went to work
deliberately to involve the country in {
war with England, and, perhaps, France
and that the dire calamity was only
ayerted by the efforts of Senator Sumner
of Massachusetts,, who has long enjoyed
reputation in Europe; to which nc
other American statesman ever attained

saT The St. Louis Republican, a pa
per which, Notwithstanding its name, has
never had the most remote connection
with the party that elected the present
Administration, says:
"1n all the stages of this cruel rebel
lion the Palmetto State has shown a nost
ferocious and devilish spirit We can
not but feel rejoiced that her wayward-
ness and pride have at least in some
measure been chastised and humbled
She may now taste some of the fruits of
her wicked disobedience, and awake to
find the Government against which she
has lifted her parricidal hand a stern and
unforgetful disciplinarian, terribly in
earnest. For nearly year she has en-
joyed comparative immunity from the
calamities and hardships she was so
prone to bring upon her sister States.
For seven months no known friend of
the Union has been permitted on her
soil, except as a prisoner. Let South
Carolina feel sharply the iron hand she
has provoked, and the just punishment
we had almost said the condign ven
geance-she has richly merited."

na-A correspondent of the Philadel-

saA correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer says he has been all
through Maryland from Harper's Ferry
to Port Tobacco, and, after conversing
freely with the Marylanders all along
the Potomac, unhesstatingly declares
that there is not one man who owns o
slave, who is an honest s.Union man"
! And we have no doubt Of this being
substantially true in every State, and
in every section Of every State. Why,
look at the facts. In South Carolina
and Mississippi, where the slaves out
| number the whites, the rebellion had
its origin, and tracing the conspiracy
back, it will be found that in every
State, and in every section, of every
State, the strength of the treason is just
in proportion to the number of slave
holders.
Thus, Delaware, although a slave
State, has but about 200 shareholders.
And although her Senators and leading
politicians are rauting tories, yet the
great mass of the people are as loyal as
those Of any other State.
Take Virginia as another illustration.
Eastern Virginia is full of Shareholders,
and is as rank with treason. All her
politicians-Goyernor, Senators and
Representatises-are traitors of the most
malignant sort. While Western Vir-
giuia has but very few slaves, aud is
consequently comparatively loyal.
The same principle holds good in
Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and, in
decd, in every State. And, indeed, it
must, in the nature of things, be so.-
And this fact, with its underlying phi
losophy, may as we'll be looked at by
those in authority, first as last. Oaths
of allegiance may be administered until
every one Of them shall have damned
himself with the guilt of hypocrisy and
perjury bus SO long as they are per-
mitted to play the petty tyrant over ne
groes, they will plot to undermine, or
toldly strike to overthrow, the liberties
of white men. That there can be peace
and concord in a Government where
half the laborers are slaves, and the
other half voters, is delusion fit only
to be rehearsed in the rawlings of mad
house.

as that IF many of the privates, say that
a more noble and gcntlemanly set of
fellows it has rarely been their good
fortune to meet.
1t being Sunday, several negroes had
followed the regiment to camp (sone Of
them, doubtless, out Of curiosityO two
or three Of whom, though, represented
themselves to the officers. and men as
beng free and desired to be employed

it was ascertained that he was a slave.

forgotten, said he desired to pay what

himself as free. !.
One Of the officers, high in rank. re-
quested one Of our citizen visitors to go

who presented himself as free-said he
lived in Mt Sterling, and had agreed
to hire himself to the officer. as cook,
but the officer said he desired some

Of the Shareholder, that, not content
with playing the volunteering "auukey"
in doing the dirty work that no slave
