It Is in the nature of _ things that many people in the South ifiust waver tinder the repeated shook of think-coming military disasters. Wise Christian . pastors, who aim at the . conversion of sinners, watch anxiously for the first symptoms 'of con viction, and Instead •of hallooing their I hearts by.preacbing too long the terrors of the law, are careful to presentthe great truth of pardtaningniercy, at the..moment when the soul begins to feel that it is iota and' undone. When . multitudes its the South are despondent. is the - favorable time for convincing them that the choice is not between resistance and ruin, bat ..„ between further (hamsters and the proteo• tioo of a paternal goverbment. There ii► no time' for babbling idiotic phrtuo , a about 'Miming terms to rebels with arms in their hands.

Even after the oontueast of tha insurgents in rejecting his first lifers of pardon, he imposed eni them no harder conditions at last than simple submission to the laws. As he-said in his speech to Cont-reds, (the custom of sending a mes sage began afterwards, with Jefferson,) at theopening of tho next session "Pardon, too it-as tendered to them by the Govern ment of the United States and that of Pennsyliania, upon no oilier"; condition than a satisfactory assurance of obedience to the laws:" It was the custom, at that time, for each house of . Congress to, pre sent to the President., early in the session,- an address in reply to hts speech. The House address contained this, sentence: "Your laudable and successful endeavors to ronater Malty in executing the laws conducive to their real energy, anti to convert confusion into order, without the effusion of blood, form a particular title to the Cent:Menne and praise of your ccmstit vents.". The Senate address, signixt by Vice-President Adams, is equally careful' to eulogize the lenity of the President. It said: "In a situation so delicate and inn portent, the lenient and persuasive mess-, urea which you adopted merit and receive our affectionate approbation." 5u.7,11 was ; the horror felt by our early statesmen of shedding fraternal: blood, even in discharge of the imperative duty to put down armed and defiant insurrec tion.. The next great precedent for the guid ance of the administration in the p resent conjuncture,is found in the 'course adopted by President Jackson against the South Carolina nullifiers. This has always, and justly, been held up as a model of vigor ; but it. was in complete accordance with the example .set by-Washington. The most striking parts of Jackson'slamous proclamation on that subject consist of paternal - exhortations to the people of South Carolina. in which he addressed theiu as fellow citizens of his native State, and admonished them "in that paternal language, and with thee paternal.feeling" Which father would use to his children whom he saw rushing' to certain ruin." He made personal exertions, through his friends in Congress, for the reduction of the tariff of which South Carolina com• plained. '•Many," say's Colonel Benton, "thought that he (ight to 'relax in his civil measures for allaying , discontent while South' Carolina held the attitude of armed'defiance to the United States.— But he Where(' steadily to his purpose f" and •ipromoted by all the means in his power the success of the bills to reduce the revenue." • • The great measure of conciliation {the Compromise Teriffyby which the diffi cult§ was adjusted was the work of Mr "l;lay, a statesman never accused of lack of zeal for the honor of the gotertimerit. The same persons who would! have re 'strained the, magnanimity of__.'reeident. Jackson were rebuked by Clay in these eloquent terms: "The difference between the friends and the foal of the Compro mise is, that they would, in the enforcing act, iend forth alone the flaming sword. Wectroutd send out tat alio, but along with it the olive branch as a messenger of `peace. They cry out, the law! the law! , the law ! Power ! power We, too, reverence the laei and bow to the su premacy of ill' oblipaions ; but 'Vie are in favor of the lair executed with Fuildneas, and of power tempered with mercy." Base Minds 'ascribed the patriotic ardor of Mr. Clay, in "advocating the Compreniise„ to ambition. "Yes," he • exclaimed, "t have'ambiticU; but it. it the ambition of, being the bumble instrument, in 'the hands of Providence, to :reconcile a di vided pcople once more to revive con , cord and harmony in a distracted lenti— -1 the pleasing ,ambitirin of contemplating the glorious spectacle of a free, united, prosperous, ind fraternal people l" It is manifest from this recital that if Mr. Lincoln's administration fails.to take advantage 'of the present opportunity for tendering an amnesty, it will not be from seal for the honor of the government, but from leek of itatesmanship, lack of.listri otism, and of sincere wishes forthe early restoration of the Union.—N. Y. World: Tag CLIIICAL Ktss.—Dominie Brown had reached the , mattire - agfi ,of five'and forty without ever having taken part in this pleasant, labial exercire.

Last summer two : member.; of the I Rouse, from Maine, 0.1111• d upon the Pres ident to have a friend of thuir's, a colonel in the army, promoted to it brigadierahip. They entered the President's room, and found his exoelleney irk a humor not the most lively or agreeable. ' 'Something had evidently gone wrong with him, and was not at all pleased to receive the ciis• tieguished visitors. Nerertheless ,he rose to greet th - e — rn, took them by the hand, told them to be seated, and 'asked what ho could do for them. "We4alled.” - said one of the honorables; "to have Col. a gallant officer and a worthy man, proMoted to a brigadier general." The President crossed his legs, combed his hair with his fingers, and replied as if irritated, "Pd rather see 'you on any other business than that. This brigadier busi nessis getting to he a terrible t bore. Every man wants to he promoted, 4nd the,fect , is, I can't comply with one request in a hundred. I'm getting disgusted with such applications." So the Cirreeetuen left the subject drop for the present, and, rather than make any abrupt departure, which was .the first impulse one of them remarked, "What is the news from I,Cen tucky, Mr. bincoln ?" "Well, it's not ;fen , good," said the President. "The fact is, there are three kinds of people in Ken tucky—One..;is the unionists. good and true, who will stand by the country , all the time ; another is ,made up - of Seces sionists, open add avowed rebels, who don't pretend to he anythingP ehes, and then there is a third, that wavers between the two, and is sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other." "Tha,t rentitt(lB said one of the listening Congresqmen,'"of an old worn out preacher, who was going to retire from the ministry. In preaching his valedic. - ary sermon, he said that theie wiire three kinds of people in his congregmio%\--good people, who were sitre:te go r to ieaven ; 'bad people, who were 'quite ad ' lure go _ i 'she other way, and a large + - number of folks Who were too good to be damned, and too bad to be saved , 1 • . The President' smiled, rubbed bis hands, and .requested the Congressman to repeat that story again, which he did.— He then pulled a card-and pencil out of his pocket, and said, "Let me see—what is the name of that man you wanted pro. rooted?" The name and regiment of the colonel were dull chronicled, and next day a brigadier='s commission was duly made out and lotwawdeak - General Nifiellas. During the spring and summer, some . ardent frietids of General McClellan sent oontrihutions money to the ,editor of the New York Herald, to !he 'mount of 89.30.10, for the 'ptirchage of a sl, - irdto he presented to t'ueir favorite meneral.` The funds contributed were not Fll Irrient, for , she puryftsft ut :sortable sworl, and portion of the money was returned to the donors.
