Lincoln TemporIxing.

The Herald says the telegraphic advices
which we publish this morning from Wash
ington throw food of light upon the late
ministerial and military constitutions in that
quarter. Especially upon the egder of the
22ud from the War Department, defining the
enforcement of the confscation aet. Il thus
appears that between the republican radicals
and conservatives, the cabinet has been upon
the verge of complete dissolution that Mr.
Seward had made up his mind to resign his
position, fhis concihatory and magnsnimous
counsels we're to be superseded by the violent
measures demanded by our abolition fanatics.
That his retirement would have led to an en-
tire reconstruction of the cabinet, and that to
avoid such embsrrassments at this crisis, and
especially to retain the invaluable services of
Mr.. Seward in the State Department, the
President has resolved to harmonize as far IS
possible, the execution of the confiscation aud
militia acts with the conservative war policy
which thus far has marked every act, message,
order or proclamation of his.

A nEEINIrE POLICY.

Ever since the war commenced there hiss
been q definite policy on the part of ths
Confederate Government There has been
unity of plan, and in the main unity of &C
ton. Those who assumed the lead, in the
conspiracy against the flag Of our country
aimed to transfer power from the many to
che few. Sometimes gradually, sometimes
by grand strides, they have abandoned Dem
oeratic or Republican doctrines, and By aristo-
cratic sympsthies have endeavord to eCnfed-
crate themselves with monarchy. They have
combined all their energies to do the most
damage they could to all who loved the Union
4hey have imprisoned them, robbed them Of
their prepertg, houses, servants-every thing,
and banished them beyond their lines,
they - esused the Ssgro for agricultural,
mechanical, and military purposes, because
they had no fear sof The, odious charge of
abolitionism, and W. constants appeals to sec
tionalism and fail s.i1isn, while thsy prOfessed
to be oppose 10 both, they. have rna-shalled
great armies ansk The Constitution and the
Union. They Bsd single object, and they
have worked with rsigat AID main to effect it.
This has boon srae ef no Generals in vir-
GINS, in Tennessess b Arkansas and Mis-
sour, and over the entiss fsld Of their opera
co..
The same cannot be said Of the Federal
Commanders. They were dealing witha willy
foe. Many found themselves in arms almost
against their win, to oppose those with whom
they had acted ineoncert for years, and with
no taste for sheoding blood, they longed for
and prayed, for ii reconciliation. The Presi-
dent like d father to the whole nation, with
marked forbearanee, held back the national
army from taking summary vengeance upon
the heads of the armed traitors General after
general, and some Of them too of marked abil-
10y, grappled with the problem. "How shall
I best succeed in my own 6eld, in putting
aeMn the rebellion > but their judgement
differed and different policies wers followed
81 varying results. At length there is a
ebange. Tue people began to demand it long
Asa. Some ofths military departments were
fsAag fer it from the beginning. Tbs Secre-
tafy Of War rejecting the popular will, has
sgoken clearly. Our military commanders
Sill have no difficulty in understanding this
new Executive Order. The late gathering of
tho Generals at Washington, in grand council,
bstokens, we think, a more vigoIo us campaign
ia the future. Gen. HALLEcK is now the
Field Commsnder-in-Chief of the American
forces, and With his army swelled by the 300
additional regiments, all animated by COM
mon impulse and working for one glorious re-
salt wen may reasonably look forward to a
speedy and successful termination Of the war.

BILLIARD MATCH.-The billiard match be-
tween John Deery, of New York, and VIM.
Goldthwaite, Of Boston, Tor $3.50 aside, was
brought to a termination about two o'clock
yesterday morning. At the finish Of the game,
the score stood: Deery, 1900; Geldthwaite,
l,4T5; the former winning by % points. Some
magnificent playing was shown by both men
during the progress Of the match. Deery made
the largest run of the game, scoring l4O while
Goldthwaite's highest run was 80. The latter
is but boy in appearance, his age being only
II, but he gives promise to become the billiard
champion of America before many years have
passed. AS each player has now won game,
we presume their relative superiority will be
decided in third and concluding game-N.
