SECBETABY BTAHTOS’S BEPOBT. One remarkably striking feature of the report of the War Departmaili;is the glowing admiration and tender expressed for the “Americans of African d escent” The old, decrepid contrabands, and those of tender years, unable to pro vide for themselves, are being well cared for, while the intrepidity and heroic bear ing of the freedmen in arms, are themeß lor lofty eulogy. The two or three akir- mishea, in which some negro soldiers are said to have acted bravely, are paraded by Mr. Stanton as evidences of a heroism equal to any emergency; he, consequently. recommends an increase of pay for them. equal to that now given to the white sol cKers in the field. He says: “The colored troops have been allowed no bounty; and under the construction given by the Department they can only, by the existing law, receive the pay of ten [ dollars per month, while other soldierß are being paid thirteen dollars per month, with clothing and daily rations. There Beems to be inequality and injustice in this I distinction, and an amendment authoriz- I ing the same pay and bounty as white I troops receive is recommended. ’' When the war broke out every one knows that one dollar would purchase as many of the necessaries of life as two do larß will to day ; and yet, in the face o this notorious tact, we do not perceive that Mr. Stanton urges an increase of the Boldiers pay, to a figure which will pre vent absolute destitution from reaching some of their families. All sympathy with him, like his allies, is centered in the negro, showing itself in a recommendation calculated to degrade the white soldier, by placing him upou equality with recent ly freed slaves. If these black soldiers are entitled to increased pay for ther ser vices, surely those intrepid men who fought and won the battles of Antietam, Gettysburg and Chattanooga are worthy of increased consideration, also. While Mr. Stanton was penning his admiration of negro valor, and recommending delicate attention for the poor contrabands quarter ed upon our bounty, he might have said a word in regard to the thousands of mothers and children, now awaiting the return cl husbands and fathers from the field. But these reflections are out of place at present. The remembrance and mention of destitution among soldiers’ families, smacks of disloyalty. The alia sions to widows and orphans, becanse of the slaughter at Fredericksburg an 1 Chanceilorsville, are calculated to discour ago enlistments, and that is treason. N ' matter what the sacrifice ot bumaQ lite, becanse ot the blunders ot the War Depart ment, all is forgotten in the glowing ac connts of contraband daring and impetu OBity. Valor unsurpassed since the world began, performed by white men, iB obscu red by extravagant exaggerations of foam ing fanatics. For, until we hear ol an engagement between our black soldiers, and an equal number ot white rebels, in which the former, by desperation and en durance were successful, we will not award to them a heroism which is calculated to must wear it; while, at the same time, it is the certain road to civil aod military promotion. Webave'no objections, how ever, to the proposed increase of the negro soldiers’ pay, Onr money might as well be given to them as squandered Borne other ways ; bnt while being in this liberal humor, we are also inclined to remember our brave and much beloved Onion de fenders. What say our brethren of the Abolition press ?

Yoar editorig] in Wednesday’s paper, in reference to General Meade and the recent movements of the Army of the Po tomac, has been the subject of much die cussion, partienlm-lytbat portion which justifies Gen. Meade in his retreat. Yon said. Nor haß it been among sensible people anything but a matter of congratu lation that the army was in the hands of one bold enough and self reliant enough to take the responsibility of ordering a retreat without striking a blow, when con vinced that a battle would accomplish nothing.” I have in possession a letter from an in telligent gentleman in the army, who has been in all the battles of the Peninsula, in the Fredericksburg battles, and in the battles of Antietam and Gettysburg, which confirms the correctness of your position. He says : ‘■While the corps was tying here, Gen eral Meade sent an order to General Warren to charge the enemy’s works in iroDt of him, on 'he morning of the 30th of November. Six o'clock was the hour designated: but, by some good luck it was put off until seven o’clock, when it was daylight, andthe men could see what was in front of them Onr corps arrived at this place on the night of the 29th and General Warren and General Meade supposed that the enemy had only rifle pits, and that was the reason he ordered the works.to be charged. Bat when Gen eral Warren looked around after daylight he found the enemy behind earthworks more formidable than those at Fred encksburg last winter. The 2d division “P?!. 1 j- 2 ? , brl K ade "as to be the advance of the division, to be supported by the Ist and 3d brigades of the 2d division. I heard Capt. Bane say that he had made up his mmd never to come out of that place alive. But, thank the Lord ! the charge was not made, and many lives have been saved. The men made every ar rangement as if they were certain of death. Captain Bane said that just as sure as that charge had been made, there would not be twenty five men left in the whole division. Ab soon as General Warren saw what kind of a place it was, he sent immediately for General Meade to oome up. He came, and as soon as be saw the position, he gave up all idea of taring ij by a charge. * * * It is all folly th keep “hunting" around this part of Vir ginia, for it is fortified every mile of jib way from the Bapidan to James riveri and we might fight here until doomsday ; get within twenty miles (The Fifteenth Indiana lost one handred •ad ninety meu in the late fights in f ron t of Chattanooga. THE PRESIDENT ’8 PI<AN OF RECON Cl U ATI ON—THE OKEA&EI> CAR TRIDOE POLICY. Had President (remarka the New York World) exerted'allhiaingenui ty and taxed the ingenuity of his cabinet counselors to devise . that; insult to the southern people which should be by them regarded as the most odious and madden* mg, he could have fallen on nothing bet ter adapted to his purpose than the strange 'oath he has tendered them to support his proclamation of emancipation, and all other proclamations having reference to slaves which be may think fit to issue. Purporting to be an emollient, and put forth under the guise of an amnesty, it seeks out the sorest, the most inflamed, the most sensitive spot in the southern mind, and applies to it a burning brand. !It is a proposition which the South will i feel that it cannot accept without a degree lof voluntary self-degradation which every [ southerner of spirit and character will re gard as worse than death. It is sdle for Mr. Lincoln’s apologists to prate about what may seem reasonable and jost from the extreme abolition stand-point; the South will not look upon the subject through abolition eyes. When, a few years ago, the British came near losing a great, portion of their Indian empire by compelling the Sepoys to use greased car tridges, it would have been entirely beside j the purpose for a British statesman to , have addressed to the British people an argument demonstrating the absurdity of the Sepoy prejudices. British soldiers, it is true, bit off the ends of the greased cartridges with as much unconcern as they would eat their rations. It would bepos. aible to prove, on strict physiological grounds, that this practice was harmless to the body of a Sepoy as to that of a Bri ton, and, on ine grounds of Christian doc trine, that it should no more contaminate or imperil the soal of the one than of the other. But all such arguments would have been -the sheerest trifling and imper tineuce. and no man having the slightest pretensions to statesmanship could have used them. “It is the imagination,'’ said Napoleon once, “that rules the world." All great revolutionary movements are inspired and dominated by ideas. Men engaged in a revolution are always in a state of mental exaltation, which causes them to see th# matters in contest through an ideal atmos phere A plight tax upon tea, regarded on its prose side, was a petty qaestion ot threepence in the pocket of a colonist as weighed against the support of the pnl>h revenue. George the Third and Lord North, by refusing, »n their blindness, to make allowance tor the ideal views of the I colonists which converted that tax inLo the symbol ot tyranny* oonvulsed and die membered the British empire. Louis the Sixteenth was the mildest of French gov ereigue, and Dk Tocwueville sayß thht monarch never pressed so lightly on the people as at the outbreak of the revolution. But the French mind had passed under the dominion ot great ideas, and the old insLi tntions could no more oontrol them than on the goodness of the cause; butwhetuer it inspire heroism or demonißm, it is a thing to be managed rather than reasoned with. President Lincoln has shown himself utterly destitute ol the statesmanlike tact requisite for dealing with a great people in revolt; he is as blind as was Lord North • he is as blind as was Philip the tiecond,' of Spain, when he lost the Netherlands. Never, since the creation of man, has there been a people so led captive by their immaginatious, go subject to the despo tism of ideas, as the people of the South. Call their ideal grievances prejudices, if yon will : brand their ardor, their vehem encs, their persistence as block and ram- pant treason ; but, under every aspect in which their conduct can be viewed, the fact stands unshaken that they are a peo ple surrendered to their ideas. If Mr. Lincoln were a statesman, if he were even a man of ordinary prudence and sagacity, he would see the necessity of touching the peculiar wound of the South with as light a hand as possible. Instead of this be chafes and inflames it. Not atrong enough himself, though wielding the whole power of the government, to reßiat ;ihe recoin lionary exaltatiou and fanatic fervo. of the abolitioniste, how can he expect pri vate citizens of the South to bravo an ex altation and fervor which, in that section te all bnt unanimous'.' It ho had stood firm against the abolition current he would have had a great majority of the northern people to keep him in countenance - but who iu the .South would not scorn the man who would so degrade and humiliate him self as to take the abolition oath ? W e might ask, and in due time we shall ask, by what right Mr. Lincoln assumes to propose such an oath ? We, ofeonree, know that he pretends to derive it from the pardoning power: but this whimsical deduction is a fitter topic lor derision than for serious argument. As he can offer a conditional pardon, he claims that he can impose any conditions he pleases The war power, which, to everybody's aur prise, was fonnd, alter cohabitation witfl Mr. Lincoln, to contain the embryo of abolition, yields to a more prolific rival, which has strength to bring forth the full-’ grown progeny. The pardoning powerbe comes the most fruitful clunse in the Con‘ stitation, only, like a Magdalen asylum, i t dispenses its marvelons blessings only upon those who have gone through a certain course oi preparation, by which they are constituted candidates. Mr, Lincoln proposes to revolutionize the ij stutions of the whole South'in virtue of thp —pardoning power! Things which all previous expositors of the Constitution have affirmed that the federal government cannot do at all can be done by the Presi dent because the courts have decided that he may offer a conditional pardon ! If there is any lower deep oi absurdity we may trust the sure instincts of President Lincoln to find it. 11 citizens are guilty of a crime, Mr. Lincoln claims that he as p right to pardon them, on condition tbat the; will swear to renonnee the right of free apeeoh, which is sacredly teed by the Constitution. Tbe pardoning power, like Aabon’s rod, swallows uj> every other provision of the instrument ?hich sprout forth as geeea twigß of cipati?)t\ Thy “war power” is obscured and eclipsed by its mor? radiant rival. The pardoning power fills H fce abolition a|sy with its effulgence like i' ' “Another nurn Risen in mid-noon,” and thd whole firmament glows with the accumulated splendor. Suppose that, when the Qaaker* Pass more Williamson, was lying in prison in I Philadelphia, and Booth, the Wisconsin editor, was in the Philadelphia jail, Pres ident Bcohanan had, in the exercise of the pardoning power, poblished a general I proclamation of amnesty to oil who had resisted the Fugitive Slave law, bnt, as a condition of grace, had imposed the fol lowing oath, which, muiatis mutandis , is precisely the oath offered by President Linooln : I, , do solemnly swear, in pres eoce of Almighty God, that I will hence forth faithfully support, protect and defend the Constitution ot the United States and the Union of the Btates thereunder, and that 1 will, in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all acts of Congress passed with reference to fugitive slaves, so long and so far as not repealed, modi fied, or held void by Congress or by deci sion of tbe Supreme Court, and that I will in like manner abide by and faithfully support the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and all other acta of Oongresfl h ‘realtor passed, having reference to fugitive slaves, so long and so far as not modified or de clared void by decision of the Bupreme Court So help me God 1 Suppose, we say, Mr. Buchanan bad, undercolor of the pardoning power, of fered this degrading insult to the aboli tionists, we put it to any candid man if such an act of grace and amnesty would have inspired their grateful recognition in any other view than sb a godsend to in crease their power over their followers. Was there an abolitionißt in the whole North who would not have spurned and justly spurned the gratuitous insult f Would they have admitted that Mr. Buchanan had any right to swesr citizens to renonDce a citizen’s right to discuss, oppose, and attempt to procure the repeal of lawß which he disapproves or deems unconstitutional ? To gag free men with such an oath under the pretense of offering them pardon, isa refinement of barbarity which had not been invented in 1858. Mr. Lincoln’s attempt to pot his abolition oath into the months of southerners is as impolitic as that would have been barbarous, —is indeed the con 1 summation of impolicy, and puts the North in the attitude ol impotence, when a states -1 man would have bared its arm of stregnth. THE PRESIDENT'S MEMSAUE AND THE NEXT PRESIDENCY* The art of riding Two horses, (eayathe Herald.) is not confined to the circus. It has been practised by politicians from time immemorial. It is an old trick of the trade in this country ; but, where one ex perimentalist has thus made a successful run around the national course, a dozen have been thrown to the ground. Henry Clay, for example—brought out in 1544, in opposition to the annexation of Texas ; was pursnaded to write a letter to Alaba ma in favor of the scheme, whereby, in losing the vote of Hew York, he was de president Lincoln, pn a much grander scale, has for some time been riding two political horses, and, with the skill ot an old campaigner, he whips them—the radi cal horse “a leetle ahead”—through his Message and his appended proclamation of.amnesty to the rebellious States. Dur ing the last two or three years he has given us some marvellous surprises, iu bringing forward the radical horse in front when it was supposed he had been hopelessly dropped behind. Thus, after removing General Fremont and n f ter roundly reprimanding General Hunter for dabbling in emancipation proclama tions, and after pronouncing the thing as futile and foolish as "the Pope’s bull against the comet,” our facetious Presi dent astonished thecountry with an Abol ition manifesto which completely cast into the shade the small experiments of Fre MONTand Hunter. Again, after having | peremptorily refused to listen to the de mands of the radicals for the removal of Mr. Seward, and after having excited thBir wrath and threats of vengeance in the matter of the Kansas Missouri-mud die, he exalts them in his Message to the the seventh heaven of Mahomet. Next to a good joke, it is evident, ‘-Ole Abe” is fond of a rousing sensation POLITICAL TOLERATION The New York Times, an Abolition '»per, which np until a lew dayß ago, was | Bftvage and insolent in its denunciation ol Democrats as traitors, now thinks as tol !owa, We commend its change of mind, and ask the Abolition organ ot this local ity to emulate the Time's example. It remarks : “The truth is that there is too little toletmice among some classes of Onion men of the honest convictions of those who differ from them. For the ver t table copperhead of the Vallandigham stripe we have not one word to say. We have done our part, we think, in impaling such creatures. They are to all intentsand purposes, allies of the rebellion— for they have given it constant aid and comfort— and they may justly be styled disloyal. Bat the word ‘copperhead’ and the impu tation of disloyalty are bandied quite too freely. It is a way some people have of showing their spite toward the men who don’t exactly agree with them upon some of the questions touching slavery,' or upon some of thq, feature? of, President Likcokn’s polioy. It is a bad’apirit, and it Bhould be discoantenanced by every man who has breath of mind enough to understand that the essential distinction between loyalty and disloyalty relates to sides, and not to difference in position on any one side. True Union men are obliged to agree only in one thing—the support of the war for the preservation of the Union. But, until the constitution of the human mind is changed, it will be impossible for all true Union men to agree in respect to the precise mode in which that war shall be conducted. Men | however devoted to a common cause,' I always differ about methods and details and they have a right so to differ, so long as they will keep clear of factious con duct.

UEY has not yet given notion of any inten tion to withdraw this popular Loan from Sale at Par, and until ten daja notice ft tiven, the undersigned, as “ General SnbteripUen Agent,” will continno to supply the public, The whole amount of the Loan authorised is i Five hundred Millie ns of Dollars. Neatly Four Hundred have been al ready snbweribetf fbr and paid Into the Treasury, mostly within the last seven months. The large demand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing home, demand for.use as the basis for circulation b#N&tioual*'Bank!ng Associations new organising in ail parta,o£ {ha country,TriH.’id a very short period, absorb the balance. Sales have lately ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly, frequently exceeding three millions daily, and as It is weft known that the Secretary Of theTre unary hafl'Mhple and unfailing resoarcesihthe Duties on Imports and Internal Reveauee*an& in thaittue of the Inter** est-bear.ng Legal Tender Treasnary Notes, ibis almost a certainty that he will not find it neew sirjr, for a ong time to come, to seek * market for any (ther long or permanent Loans, THE IN TEREST AH D PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ARB ; PAYABLE IN (iOLD. Prudence and self-iiterest moat force the minds of those contemplating the formation of National Banking Associations, as well as the minds of allwhb have idle mosey on thei? hands, to the prompt conclusion t.hai they should lose no time in subscribing to most popular Loan* ItwiUsron be beyona their reach, and advance to a handsome premium, as was the result with the “ Seven Thirty'* Loan, when it was all sold and could no longer be Bubfeerihsd for at par. It la a Six per Cent.Xoan, the Inter est and Principal payable in Coin, thus yielding- overjfine per Cent, per annnna at the present rate of premium on coin. The Government requires all duties on imports to be paid is Coin ; those duties have for a long time past amounted to over a Quarter of a Mil lion of Dollars dally, a sum nearly three times greater than that requii ed in the payment of the interest on all the 5-20’s and other permanent Loans. So that it '.b hoped that the suxplui Coin in the Treasury, at no distant day, will enable the United States to resume specie payments upon all liabilities* The Loan is called's 20 from the fact that whilst the Bonds may run for 20 years, yet the Government bna a right to pay them off in Gold at par, at any lime after 5 years.
