Our Present Danger.

There is danger, nsidious indeed, but
for that reason requiring to be guarded
against with vigilant care. Whenever
plaus Of pacitication and adjustment arc
proposed, we shall find an attempt to give
to slavery new concessions and new guar
antees Plausible appeals will be made
to the loyal States, not to press the vic-
tory or to humiiate the vanquished, but
to propitiate our misguided Southern
brethren, and WOO them back to loyalty
and fratcrna union. Something of this
kind has been attempted in the conduct of
the war itself There were persons who
urged that our military officers should
make it their prime duty to pursue, catch
aud restore the slaves Of rebel masters.
in order forsooth to demonstrate that this
was not an abolition war. So whenever
the day OF peace and settlement comes.
the loyal people Of the Union will be
asked to humble themselves before the
rebclious slave power and offer it privi-
!egcs, franchises and exemptions which,
with all its assurance, it did not claim be.
tore the revolt.
The end of the war will be the begin
ming Of adroit diplomacy. The loyal
States are too powerful for the seeding
South to contend with on the field. But
the latter are skjlful in coatests Of an.
other sort Whether in framing party
platforms, or shaping measures Of legisla.
ton to thsir own purpose, they have ale
ways been an overmatch for their slower
ami less cunning opponents Add to this
the advantage they possessed in having
among ourselves considerable party who
value the Union indeed, and stand firmly
By the Union. Their conception Of both
is that slavery is their sole end and OBJ
iect--that the Union is valuable, because
without it there would be no rendition OF
slaves. aud that the Constitution, instead
of being dcsi gned to secure the blessing
of liberty, was framed solely to insure
the master against the possible loss Of his
slaves. In consonance with this theory,
they would make any amendments which
the interests Of slavery might require.
Now, We imagine, the American peo-
pie have proitcd somewhat by the sxperi-
encc Of the past year. They are not
likely to rate so high tho benefits which
the slave power has conferred upon them
as to be willing to offer it more political
strength and resources to be employed in
another rebellion. They will be apt to
desire such settlement as may assure
them that this battle between slavery and
freedom is not to be fought over again By
their children.-National Republican.

A PECULIAR INSTITUTION DESTROYED
A correspondent with the Burnside cxpe-
dition writes that in one ofthe foravs Of our
men into North Carolina they had tho te-
merity to make an assault upon peculiar
institution. lie says:
." Our men discovered one Of tie 'pecu-
liar institution of the South in the shape
of whipp;ng-post, the morning of their
departure, and instantly destroyed it, to
the great delight of a number of negroes
and the utter CONSERVATION Of a few white

ISFsMors.-ln speaking Of the infamous
barbarty of thu rebels IN employing In.
dians at the battle at Pea Ridga, the
PhiIadepaia Pro says;
One Of the most Infamous features Of
the Secession conspiracy Is tae employ
meat of a large band of indians to make
savage warfare upon our troops. This fact,
though often questioned, is sorrowtully
proved BY the detailed descriptions Of the
battle at Pea Ridge, who-e some Of our
wounded were scalpel by these b4rbarous
foes. They were enlisted aud commanded
by Albert Pike, who was born in the
North, aud upon whose soul must rest for
ever the guilt of a double treason, added
to the infAmy of double wrong in leading
the simple-minIed children OF the forest to
destruction, aud in arousing all their
bloody instincts against his countrymeu.
No punishment could be too severe for
traitor who has thus violated every in
stinct of patriotism aud humanity, and
who, knowing too much Of the NORTH to be
duped by the ISLANDERS that may have
been imposed upon some of his ignorant
associates, has exceeded them all in
eold-blooded cruelty"

a miniature specimen of the dear old flag
"a real flag the emblem of real living

TIE ERicssoS BATTERY AT SEA.-By
the arrival at this port today of the steamer
Seth Low. which towed the Ericsson iron
battery Monitor to Hampton Roads, we
have the particulars Of the Monitors
voyage. and of the circumstances under
which she went into action yesterday
morning.
Although there was a gale during a
part of the passage down, the voyage was
entirely successful. Frequently IN the
rough sea, the waves flowed over the deck
Of the battery to the depth of four feet, and
nothing but the smoke-piPe and cyhn
drical turret could be seen; but she came
up as free and steady as if she were riding
ia perfectly smooth sea. Ga one or two
occasions the spray dashed over her smoke
and steam pipes, but no damage was done.
The fires continued and there appcard to
be not even temporary cessation OF the
working of the machinery, which was kept
rone from the time she started out OF this
port, on Thursday, till Saturday evening,
when she arrived off Fortress Monroe.
She withstood the heavy gale and rolling
sea Of Friday night, much better than had
been anticipated, and those on board the
three steamers which accompanied her are
confident that she would safely outride any
storm.-N. Y. Ereaing Post. Monday.
