SAD CONDITION OF A MAN.or.wAR.



GREAT DANGER TO NEW wYuRK-CoNTAGIOUsF FEVER
DOMINANT.
A most disastrous epidemic is raging on board
the United States war steamer Idhoml, now at
Quarantine. Yesterday, officers were offered 500
Il day, and sailors 50 day, 10 remain on board
aud take care OF the ship, nearly all her crew
being PROSTATE with yellow fever. Over seventy
sick men have been removed on shore within q
few days.
The entire station has been so terrified by the
disastrous state of affairs on the unfortunate
vessel that hardly any one can be got 10 vOluu-
tecr for that ordinary duty of keeping the decks
clean IL is so dangerous 10 go near craft in the
IdhOmd'S position, that even the steamtugs give
her wide berth
The vessel left here during the excitement oc-
casiCned by the late Rebel raid, having on board
sailors aud marines for purposes explained at
the umu. On her reuTn the fever broke out and
for some Gays II has been feared that every man
on board would perish. The Mayor Of the city
should see that no visiting our streets by officers
from the 10kOm0 shnl De permitted. A million
Of people are AZ the mercy of every who comes
nom thrt fatal steamer.
The latest news received from the scene of so
much calamity did not report any material
change in the state Of things. Men-of-war at
present entering our port should be halted oil
Sandy Hook, and Admiral PaulCing has steam
ers enough to communicate with them there.
The Key West Transports are coming on every
week, treighied with POISONOUS diseases, to which
any OF as may fall victim to-day or tomorrow,

sLAvERY-THE wAR-nEUNlox.

From he Tribune.
The recent luckless attempts, North and South
TO open a negotiation for peace, must have clearly
demonstrated, even 10 European eyes, the tacJ
that human slavery Is the impulse and PIVOT Of
our gigantic bloody stiugglo-tha. the Rebels
are enemies of lhe Union for slnycry's sake, and
mean with slavery 10 stand or fall. We know
10 warraDt for The positive assertions Of the
Opposition journals that the Confederate leaders
have offered 10 give up their Couiedcracy aud
retuin 20 the Union on condition that slavery
shall BE- duly projected and pPtted therein; and
We think this rather an mtereuCe, somewhat col.
ored by the wishes of those who so cOnideGly
proclaim it as a fact
The Democrats of the loyal States evincs
more ankle aud unanimiJy in behaif or the
"Pecuar institution than DO che Rahot, them
selves, and with certatn reason, .IHce avery,
while it curses ana blight, he urh, never it,
under the Uriop, 10 nrng grit - the mll OF tHc
Democratic parry. T. lee sure of LEg nearly
2 Ald vote, Nhc her in Congress or she E!HrrJrIl
N5neges, OF large thrn at rho upn, /, q tgtnp-
tation to inhpmauy whi n the unpTlicipyd en-
hardly be expected 10 resist; hCnCo tue CJnfad-
4 ernte agents in Europe will be somewhat an
noyed when our journals of the last ten days
, reach them, and they lind Il so confidently and
so generally stated in half of them that their
section" stands ready to restore the Union when
fer II can obtain satisfactory conditions and
1uaTaniees regarding the perpetuahon and diifu-
AeiOn OF slavery.
= If the motion in Parliament designed to hasten
q recognition of the COnfederacy should thereby
be subjected TO a further postpOnement, and If
the friends of the Union should be enabled to
give II damaging blows in any debate which il
nay provoke, II must he considered that the
oliCy best adapted 10 secure the election of
Democratic President here could not reasonably
be expected 10 serve at the same time the cause
ofConfedeiate independence and recognition in
the Old World.
But the fact that slavery is the source and
handspring OF the Rebellion stands unaffected
~ the willingness unwillingness Of the Rebels
K y return 20 the Union on their own terms. No
IAN ever yet saw an American who hated
. Every yet upheld the Rebellion, and no one
! Ter saw an American who justified and wished
/, T. perpetuate slavery who bad not at least
N ,eaking tenderness for the Rebel cause. For
VI practical purposes the Rebellion and slavery
4 I e related As mother aud child. Hence the pre-
1 Osterous folly OF urging the COntederates to
II iolish slavery In order TO strengthen them
Il fmies and quicken the sympathies OF Europe.
II To do this would be like cutting off your head
/ cure catarTh. For, slavery destroyed, the
\ a. ellion would be- left without motive, object,
vvsnimating soul. Were slavery abolished the
mon armies might at once be dsbanded, and
5jWar given ups for the Union would reconstl-
., itself without effort By the irresistible force
