IRoN-CLADs AND PRIvATEERs. The
New York Post addresses some sensible
words to Lord Palmerston and the sub
iects of Queen Victoria, upon iron-clads
and privateers:
1t will be a serious matter, if the Brit
ish government permits the rebel iron
clads to go to sea. The English have al
ready made a record for themselves in
this war, which adds thousand fold to
the danger they must face, if ever they go
to war again, even with the weakest ma
ton. We hope, for their sake as well as
our own, that they will not send an iron
clad out of Liverpool to attack New York
or New Orleans. English ports are open
to shot-proofs ships all over the world
and unless the Englishman entirely chang
es his character, the time cannot be dis
| tant when Great Britain will be involved
in war with some nation which will find
ii profitable to send American-built iron
clads to attack English ports.

from various sections of the Northwest, he
gave us the result of his information re-
ceived from nearly one hundred in this

was visited at all, and of that touched
less than one-third has been destroyed.

EMANClPAIloN IN me bChbbN
STATES. The copperhead presses will
be compelled to turn their wrath upon an
ti-slavery men who are appearing in the
slave states and are becoming more radl-
cal even than many of those in the free
states whom they have been in the habit
of stigmatizing as abolition fanatics. For
instance, Gov. Andrew johnson in a re-
cent speech at Nashville, Tenn, came out
squarely for immediate emancipation IN
that state. The Nashville Union reports
him as saying:
''Slavery is cancer on our society,and
the scalpel of the statesman should be
used not simply to pare away the exterior
and leave the roots to propagate the dis
ease anew, hut to remove it altogether
Let us destroy the cause of our domestic

is neither wise nor Just to compromise with
an evil so gigantic. He avowed himself
uneouivocally for the removal Of slavery ;
the sooner it can be effected the better.
Some Inconvenience might, most likely
would. follow, temporarily, but these would
be more than compensated by the grand
impulse given to all cur interests by thu
substitution of free for slave labor. HI
was for immediate emancipation, if he coulC
get it; if this could not be obtained, hi
was for gradual emancipation; but eman
cipation at all events. He invoked thu
people to cast off the slavish fear which
