A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga

esting information of the effects Of the
Amnesty Proclamation;

satisfaction expressed with the Presidents

methods of arriving at its value and the
probable results from it, is by observation
OF its reception by the people in the South

The New York Herald administers the
following sweet pill to General Mcclellan
to atone for its cruelty in dropping him
after making 80 many months parade over
him. It is evident that the old satanic is
directing all its forces in the direction Of
plunder:
"Genersl Mcclellan, although a erea;

will be elected President in 1854; but Nc.

better part of his life yet before him. The
trials and the experiences through which
he has passed have made him a greater

and his services entitle him, we NAV be
sure that he will eclipse all his former

Gazette, "are aware Of the fact thst Aaron
Burr was tried for treason in this district
of the United States Courts, the same in
which Vallsndigham was tried, and which
half dozen others are now under indict-
ment. We were shown yesterday by H.
B. Stevens, Esq. Deputy Clerk Of the Unit

the whole question still depends on the

the North to be formally assured that the

wake Ha.re sIowIr.n

President Lincoln has shown his apti-
tude for the important and responsible po-
sitiOn in which he is placed by following
this maxim. Every step he has taken has
been well considered, quite as much with
regard to the time Of taking it as to its
provisions. We hope that the friends of
freedom, everywhere, will take a lesson
from his wisdom, and not urge on radical
measures too fast. Radical measures are
necessity, bat they may be premature
and untimely in any given locality. 1t is
impossible to transplant freedom and the
full measure of its institutions and bless
ings to Southern soil in single day. Time
must be taken to prepare the slaveholding g
States for their reception and their steady
growth after they have been transplanted
Let us be careful to allow time for great
changes, and then they can be safely and
permanently wrought.

The Right to subiugate BsrbarIans.

The Right TO SubjugaLe Bsrbarians.
The principles of international inter-
vention sre not yet as clearly defined as
other elements or international law. Nor
sre the few which are clearly es ablished,
sufficiently well understood. There are
some Fundamental distractions which 1t
would be well for those who howl so pit
eously about the subjagatiOn of the South
to remember. There is great difference
in the cases where the two nations are of
the same degree of civilization and those
where one is of low, barbarian standard
and the other of civilized and christian
lied.
Democratic politicians, and newspapers
Of the New York News style, prate con-
tinuslly about the right Of the South to
establish an independent nationality.
That depends altogether upon the purpose
for which they establish their indepen-
dence. John Stuart Mills, in Frazsr's
Magazine, December, 1859, lays down the
true doctrine on this question. he says ::
The sacred duties which civilized ma
tions eve to the Independence and ma
tionality of each other, are not binding to-
ward those to whom nationality is Ger
tain evil or q questionable good. The Ro-
mans were not the most Olean-hsnded Of
conquerors, yet would it have been better
for Gaul and Spain, NumidiG and Dacia,
never to have formed part of the Roman
Empire2 Bsrbarians haze no rights as a
nation, except q right to such treatment, as
my, at the earliest possible period, 1T
them for becoming one. The only moral
laws for the relation between civilized
sad q bsrbarOus government are the uni
Vsrssl rules Of morality between man snd
man" Ifthis is sound logic, what right
t. nationality have people who beast
that their government is to be built upon
the corner stone Of slavery None at ell

mercy to the rebels themselves, demands

acterlstic story Of prisoner of war, e1.
employing the sublime ignorance in which
the poor, non-slaveholding whites of the
South are stepped:
Last February, when the United States
troops penetrated to Jacksonville, Fla,
some "Confederate" soldiers were cap
tured. A motley crew they were, whose
picturesque variety Of raggsdness bore
here and there some indications of aim al
military style, but nothing Of what could
be called uniform" Two men claimed
exemption from capture as being civilians
One Of the two owned to having been i'm.
pressed into the Confederate army, but al
legged that he had got his discharge and
was then q civilian.
"How long we're you a soldier % asked
Captain Randolph.
"Three years" replied the prisoner.
"The Confederate army has been three
years in the fsld-eh ?" asked the captain.

A meeting on the American question has
been held at Leicester, England, causing
considerable excitement. At the close Of
an address advocating Southern independ-
enee, Mr.. ". Biggs moved resolution dis

moved by the Rev. W. Woods, Independent
minister, and was carried by very large
majority i:
"Thst in the opinion of this meeting the
system OF slavery in the United States Of
America is at variance with the principles
of humanity, and justice, and that its ex.

The New Harp OF a ThOusahd Strings.
1t has now become q daily jeremisd
among the so called Democracy, that Mr..
Lincoln, In making his Amnesty PrOcla-
nation, has done a very cruel, impOlitiO
and unconstitutional act. The day of peace
and grae. is now put off indefinitely in
the future. The south, driven to the verge
Of funion, were just ready to forsake their
hideous sin and come penitently before the
throne Of outraged justice. They were be-
coming as gently tempered as a dove
Wooed by the dulcct assurances Of demo-
cratic love, they were about to fling them
selves into the loving embrace of their
Northern friends. But now they are ex-
asoarsted. They have a new occasion fer
tearing their rebel locks in wild and fu-
rious snger. According to the New York
World, which is the ablest exponent of
these new doctrines, Mr.. Lincoln could
have offered 10 these Southern Lords no
Ersster insult than to demand an osth Of
allegiance to the proclamation Of emanoi-
patton. 'If instead Of this he had made
them offers which the world would have
regarded as just and liberal, the bottom Of
Memminger's financial bucket would have
been knocked out" Thus the World
Thsre may be, men ready to gulp down
such blathsring nonsense. There may be
others who, like the World, would be will
ing to reiustate these rebels with all their
former rights and franchises in slavery.
There may be politicians who are ready to
hob mob with JEFF Davis in the Senate, and
look benignantly upon ToOmbs and Stew
ems and men of that sort, as only innO-
Gently misguided men.
They very much mistake the American
people, however, if they imagine them to
be SO blinded and SO essentially gullible
that they cannot see what's the matter.
Slavery is eternaliy doomed. 1t must 60
under. In the eyes of all mankind, this
nation would be blasted with perpetual in
fanny to allow the men, who heve plunged
this once happy people into 40 unhappy a
war, to return to their old positions of
honor and favor. The Republic is
strong enough; the hearts Of the
people are bold enough; the great crime
Of unconditional amnesty, restoration Of
lands and negroes, can never be perpe-
trated.
