The Danger In Our Path.

We believe that the great peril that now
threaten US as nation 10 the premature
admission to Congress Of members from the
rebellicns States. We have no faith what.
ever in the Loyalty Of the great mass Of
people in the South. There is 1t is true,
sort Of dogged submission manifested amoug
them-an acceptance of the situation, as
it is styled-but their hatred OF tho
Government il, II possible. more intense
than before they we're conquered, aud II
any opportunity should occur which should
promise success to manifestation Of that
hatred by overt acts, they would be ss
ready as ever, 10 sprisg ut the throat Of
the nation. Our only safety lies 10 keep
lug them tecurely muzzled until there
should be plain and uumistakable evidences
given of decided change 10 their dispo-
Stion. How any one who makes any
pre;ence to patriotism can seriously propose
TO admit TO the halls of Congress the men
who but yesterday were strong to compass
the connry's ruin, is Q mystery TO us.
What folly could be greater than to give
the government We have sacrificed so much
to maintain, into the hands Of traitors aud
the blood OF our slaughtered sons? Shall
We bare our breasts TO our deadly enemies,
sDd put into their hands the weapons with
which to strike Us?
There Is reason to believe that the Sou'h-
etn leaders are acting on O well maiured
plan. Their first move will he TO secure
representation in Congress. and to do this
.ney "uh Soop TO any degree of hypocrisy.
Inc ntx' step will be 70 urge upon the
government the payment Of ell damages to
properly 10 the South oceasioued by the
war. They will demspd 81. .0o0 00O. 900

ARMIES An aggregate of thousands OF
m,ii'ons oi claims, or dlmands having the
coior oi Claims, will be marshaled against
the dosernment, and sixty representatives
in the House and twenty.two in the Senate,
bound together by the ties Of interest and
OF ancient and unrelsnting hostility. will be
ready 10 enforce these claims. With such
o powerful aud united force and with all
the influence of this immense demand, i,
will be impossible to resist them; and " hen
they have involved the country 10 OF
iHdt edness Of five or six thousand million'
OF dollars. and impaired its credit SO 1T
paper will sell for but ffty cents on th'
dollar. they have but to take advantages o
the just hostility against European aggres
sion prevailing amopg the people. to involve
rs in a foreign war. and TO march out o
the Union aud bid US defiance.
This may be thought 40 exaggerated
sta'ement, but we have reason 10 believ,
that there 10 Enough truth 10 II 10 csus,

naTA new theory OF the tiulf Stream
has been promulgated by the Rev. Charles
W. Denison: aa..
The main points OF the paner are. 6rst,
that the idea Of this current Of wafer being
caused by the power Of the trade winds
piling the wa'ers up in such manner as
to drive them into the Gulf Of Mexico, end
thence ioto the Atlantic Ocean, is wholly
untenable, as well as that Of he high tenn
perature of the wa'er being derived from
the heat Of the tropical sun; second. that
the peculiar chemical constituents Of the
water, which impart TO it its characteristic
color, cannot 10 accounted for npon any
hitherto promulgated fact; and thirdly.
that the sedges, which are also q marked
characteristic, are not the products Of any
known soil To account for all these fea
lures, and also for the original source Of
supply Of the current itself, it is msintu lined
that it originates 10 the Mediterranean 40 |
adjacent seas. The remarkable fact is EN-
ployed TO force this idea, that for long ages
a current Of water has set in through the
Straits Of Gibraltar, without any CORES.
ponding outer current having ever been
discovered aud that without some outlet
for the accumulating waters the shores o:
this inland sea, likewise of the Caspian
and Dead Seas, would be continually over
flowed
The inward current is stated to be OF
three miles an hour, just that Of the Gulf
Stream, and the inference is drawn that
the one is the commencement Of tbs other,
the intervening tract being great caverns
Of the earth, commencing near Vesuvius
and Etns, whence the water derives its
heat. These caverns ere supposed to be
similar 10 that Of the Mammoth Cave Of
Ken ucky, whence the chemical iDgredi
ents Of the water are obtained, being such
| as are found in no other quarter of the
glote.
This idea is enforced by a number OF
well-known facts of a geological, ch mical
and horticultural Dature, which must,
when given to he world, excite large de-
gree OF interest, aud perhaps discussion.

7. The Committee Of the Virginia Legislature
vsnl,ed anon the President on the 10th, and
presented 10 him the resolutions adopted by
sba, body in Endorsement Of his policy Of resto-
ration. An address was made by the Chairman
of,be Committee, to which the President re-
sponded. In his remarks, Mr.. Johnson de-
clared that ''The representatives Of the States
and the people in the National Legislature must
necessarily, according to the intent of the
Constitution, be loyal men, 4" and, when the
people send such men in good faith, they arc
entitled to representation through them; and
that, When the States and their people shall
have complied with the requirements OF the
Government shall be In favor Of their re-
suming their former relations. After remarking
upon the existence Of extreme men North anu
extreme men South, the President said; Inc
Government In the assertion Of Its powers,
and in the maintenance of the principles OF the
Constitution, has taken hold OF one extreme,
and with the strong arm of physical power has
put down the rebellion. Now, as we swing
around the circle of the Union, with a fixed
and unalterable determination to stand by 1t,
we find counterpart, or duplicate, ofthe same
spirit. This other extreme which stands In the
way must get out oft. The President conclu-
ded with the declaration that ''The measure of
his ambition will be filed when oil States are
stored, each haveits representation in the
National Council, so that We can proclaim
peace and good viii among the people OF the
United States.
In recent conversation between the Presi-
dent and distinguished Rcpr esen,ive, the
former said, .He did not believe that the
effort now making, by some who call them
selves the negroes special friends, to force uni
ycrsai suffrage upon the States, was wise or
iudicious; and he asserted that, while he might
differ with individuals of what was called the
Union party as to the means TO De USED, ne
Considered himself in general accord with that
party as a whole in the ends to be reached.
