THE Power OF FORGIVENESS. "A soldier
whose regiment lay in garrison town in En-
gland, was about to be brought before his COM
manding officer for some Otfense. lie was an
old offender, and had been often punished.
"Here he is again" said the officer, on his
name being mentioned, every thing -fogging
disgrace, imprisonment-has been tried upon
him." Whcreupon the sergeant stepped for
ward, and apologizing for the liberty he took,
said
There is one thing which has never been
done with him yet sir. "
"What is thatY' was the inquiry.
"Wel. sir, said the sergeant, " he has new
er been forgiven. "
"Forgiven!' said the colonel, surprised at
the suggestion.
He reflected for few moments ordered the
cul prit to be brought in, and asked him what
he had to say to the charge?
Nothing, sir, was the reply, only am
sorry for what have done
Turning kind and pitiful look on the man
who expected nothing else than that his pun
ishment would be increased with the repetition
of his offence, the colonel addressed him say
ing: "Well, We have resolved to forgive
you ~
The soldier was struck dumb with astOnish
ment; the tears started in his eyes, and ht
wept like a child. He was humbled to th
dust; he thanked his officer and retlred-tO tn
old refractory, incorriglblc man? No; he wa
another man from that day forward. He VIII
tells the story had him for years under his eye
and better conducted man never wore tn
Queens colors. In him kindness bent on
whom harshness could not break he was con
quered by mercy, and, forgiven, ever after
ward feared to offend.

Chinese Diplomacy-Mr. Browne
BOtchos 1t.

Botches IT.
Some extraordinary correspondence of Mr..
J. Ross Browne, as the American Minister to
China, will be found in another part Of this
paper. The peculiar views of Mr. Browne, as
the official representative of the United States
near the Chinese government, lead us strongly
to the conclusion that the report by way OF
England of the rejection in Pekin Of the Bur-
lingame treaty with our government is proba-
bly, true. Mr.. Brownies letter to the Chinese
Chief Secretary Of State for Foreign Affairs,
Prince Kung, was Of itself calculated to up
set the confidence Of the Chinese Emperor,
Cabinet and people in the friendly inclnations
Of the United States; but Brownies more re-
markable letter to the American and British
merchants at Shanghae, on his departure from
China, seems to have been written expressly
to overthrow all the work of the Burlingame
mission and to bring our relations with the
empire under British influence.
In his letter to the Shanghae merchants Mr.
Browne says that we cannot elevate the Chi
nese civilization to the Christian standard ''by
the unqualified acceptance of their claim to
the independence enjoyed by Christian States y
that ''they do not possess it, in point Of
fact" and that 81 question whether
it is good policy to proclaim, in the
solemn form Of q treaty, that we will
not interfere in the internal affairs Of the en-
pire, when our very presence is an interfe-
renee, or whether anything is to be gained by
an unconditional admission Of the right Of the
Chinese government to determine the time and
manner of introducing improvements. The
Barlingams @lssiSn, according = SS Brexas,
WIS trick Of the cunning nandarins to aTr6s::
progress, and their whole diplomatic policy is
triskery, evasion and delay.
Now, whether the Burlingame treaty with
the United States has or has not been rejected,
II is morally certain that Mr.. Browne has made
bad botch of it in his first experiments as q
diplomatic representative in China Of the
United States. Mr.. Browne, however, had
become a Californian, and we dare say he is
Californian on the Chinese question-that ia,
while regulating the internal affairs Of China,
as we regulate the affairs of our Indian tribes,
Mr.. Browne would exclude the Chinese from
California as 'outside barbarians." This poll
cy may suit his designs as California politi-
clan, but it fully justifies his recall from China
1t is probable, however, that the mischief
which he has done may involve lis in inextri-
cable confusion in our relations with the Chi
nese empire, in connection with the manifest
designs of British merchants, spectators, ad-
ventilrers and emissaries.

WASHINGTON, August 20, ISes
Dispatches TO the Navy Department were received
this morning from Rear Admiral Rowan, command

States flagship Pscataqua, Yokohama July 90. In
anticipation OF the war in the. northern part of

Aroostook, Lieutenant Commander Bradford, had
been ordered to Hakodad to afford any protection to
our Consul and any American interest that might be
tnere on arrival OF the Aroostook the latter place
Lieutenant Commander Bradford found Ennomo,o
strongly entrenched, and determined to resist any
attack on the part of the MikadO's land and naval
forces. As Us the Mkado troops had got in the
rear OF EnnOmoto 1t was determined to make COM
bned attack by land and sea. The leaders OF both
parties informed the cOnsuls and commanders or
ships OF war that they would not be responsible for
the safety OF foreigners IN Hakodad and requested
them all 10 withdraw. The American Consul and
his numerous family and connections sought protec-
ton on board the Aroostook: Rear Admiral Rowan
who sought protection. Thc iroquols, Commander

the siege some good :, dashes were made

TIE SUPREME CoUWr.-It is stated that
Judge Grer, of Pennsylvania, has under con-
sideration an intention to retire from the bench
of the United States Supreme Court, and
already the radical papers are picking out his
probable successor. The absorption Of the
Supreme bench always has been prominent
feature in the programme of the radical party,
and there will no doubt be struggle to see
who shall occupy Judge Griers place, who
was appointed under democratic adminIstra-
ton (Polk's). Judge Hoar, Of Massachusetts,
is already spoken Of as his successor, but as
there is already Judge on the Supreme
bench from New England Judge Clifford il
Is not unlikely the mantle will fall upon the
shoulders of some worthy man from another
section--not improbably the South.

A CESAR IN TENNESSEE. despatch 10 q
radical paper asserts that the arrival Of cer-
tain radical dignitaries in Nashville creates
various surmises-one that they are TO take
steps for thorough reorganization of the
party, and as necessary incident thereto TO
demand the removal Of all Senter federal
office-holders in the State another that they
contemplate, during Senters absence, seizng
the State government. There are no Caesars
in Tennessee. There were large number of
Pompey smashes there during the war, but,
like Andy Johnson, they lie ct she base Of
Pompey's Pillar.

General Rosocrans ON tho Democratic
Party.

The letter in full Of General Rosecrans, de-
clining the democratic nomination for Governor
of OHIO, which we published yesterday, is a
curious document. He can't accept the nomi-
nation, but he thinks he can give the demo-
Gratis some good advice, and proceeds to give
it accordingly. He thinks the party ought to
be party Of principle, of life of action and
of progress. We think 80 too. He thinks
the party fought to hold high the banner of
universal freedom, impartial justice and equality
before the law of al who live beneath the
fag," and should leave to the opposition party
''of all shades and grades, all monopolies and
favoritism based on class, creed, race, color
or national origin;" which is excellent advice,
too good, we fear, to be adopted till after few
more democratic defeats. On the pubhc debt,
the currency, revenue and protection, class
legislation free trade, gold and silver, Offices
and tenures. &C., he agrees with the Ohio
democracy; but on the suffrage question he is
SO ''grand, gloomy and peculiar" that we can't
make him out. In short, though evidently
satisfied in his own mind that he thoroughly
understands the political situation and the
democratic road to victory, General Rosecrans,
beyond few ''glitteriug generalites," really
throws no new light ON the subject. The
wisdom of his letter is mainly embodied in his
declination of the honor proposed.

City Politics-The Duty OF the Tammany
Chief.

City Politics-TLe Duty OF the Tammany
Chief.
The close of the past week may be said to
have terminated the usual summer vacation
taken annually by large portion Of OUT cit-
zens. The long lull in business is at last
broken. The mansions of uptown residents,
after undergoing the rejuvenating touch of
painter, paper hanger and upholsterer, are
being once more thrown open to the light Of
day. The shops and stores, which have worn
so deserted an appearance of late, are once
more beginning to be thronged with purchasers.
The fashionable churches are opening
their doors, and the voices of the
sensational preachers Of the day are
again being heard from pulpit and rOstrum.
In the places that know them throughout all
the rest of the year there are, when they
betake themselves to their favorite summer
retreats. no absences more keenly felt perhaps
than those of the politicians. When in their
proper atmosphere they are ever either in the
heat of a conflict or preparing for one. Their
field of contest is the whole city. Bands of
music, discharges of cannon, firing of rockets
and all the commotion and excitement Incl
dent to popular gatherings precede and at
tend the political contest For the past
month Tammany has not spoken, and its
silence is felt all over the city. But the cleo
ton draws near, and the time for action has
arrived. In a few days more Peter Bismarck
Sweeny, the great Tammany chieftain, will
boyo rofurnod from hia Euronaon trin opJ tho
whole political world Of New York will be
stirred to its centre. There are many important
| offices to be filed; but before single indi-
vidual of his party can dare to present himself
for the sufrages of his fellow citizens he must
first receive the nomination of Tammany-th that
is, Of Mr. Sweeny. Under these circum-
stances il is exceedingly fortunate that the
| great democratic body of New York is pre-
sided over by so able and astute leader. In
the control of the municipal government he
has no rival and no opponent, and, welding
the power thus in his hands with Judgment
and wise discretion, he can, If he likes, pre-
sent to the citizens as the nominees Of his
party for the various offices to be filed in the
coming election men of approved worth and
acknowledged competency. 1t will be OF
very little moment to what party organization
this or that candidate belongs so long as he
possesses those requisites for office. There is
wide field in the city to select from to fill tn
vacancies on the bench and in the police and
city justiceships. A Tammany nomination to
any of these Offices being virtually an election
and tantamount to an appointment by the
Tammany Chief why not make those appoint
ments from the best material, aud apart from
and Independent of the professional political
Office -huntersp This Is question that Mr..
Sweeny, when he resumes the duties OF his
post as chief slate maker for Offices in the city
government, would do well to reflect upon, and
TO present to the public wise solution. The
whole matter Of these Offices is in his own
hands, and there we leave it for the present

Tm GETTysBUEe REUNIoN.-A Philadel-
phia paper remarks that it is pitiable TO see
the Southern papers sneeriog at the Gettys-
burg failure for reunion. ''Had they" it con-
tinues, witnessed the earnest preparations to
receive the Confederate soldiers by the citizens
of Gettysburg, and especially by the Union
officers, they would probably reconsider their
ridicule." II was the style Of preparations
to receive the Confederate soldiers" in Gettys-
burg on the first three days in July, 1868, that
probably operated upon the same soldiers in
declining to revive those memories by a visit
to the same Ito them) disastrous field in 1869.
But there is another souvenir about the hospi-
tality Of the citizens of Pennsylvania resident
in the vicinity OF Gettysburg. They demanded
from the New York volunteers who went to
protect their soil from the tread of an invader
''nppenuy Bit for glass Of water.

A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. Chang
Chew, Chinese disciple II not descendant
of Confucius, says Mr.. Burlingame, special
envoy of the Celestials to the Christian
nations, is an excellent man." Mr.. Ross
Browne, the representative of the United
States in China, intimates that Mr.. Burlingame
is humbug and fraud. Ross Browne Is
slightly prejudiced.

Dut ScpuShiCs. ihC sooeV Va ANS"
England, as of late years revealed
in its literature. has been Of kind
not to be mistaken. Witness, for ex-
ample. the rawlings Of Theodore Parker.
Witness the transcendental isms OF Ralph
Waldo Emerson Witness the tone and ten
dency of the North AWeyicon Recieu. There
is not only falling away from principle, but
there is falling away from power and any
sensible purpose. Witness, again, the papers
that lind most favor in the ANantic Monthly.
We could point to many recent tales. We have
but to mention the article on Lord and Lady
Byron to show the kind Of literature which
pays New England authors and publishers,
and which, of course the New England people
love most 10 read But for the power-thc
healthfnl and invigorating power Of the daily
prees-it is impossible to say to what depths
of moral depravity New England literature
would descend. Taking it as We have it, and
iudging from some Of its very latest specimens,
We may find it difficult to say Of it that 'it is
clever, indeed, and very entertaining;" but
we can have no hesitation in saying that it is
earthly. sensual, devilish." Puritan theology
and morality have begotten their proper fruit,
aud that proving itself most unwholesome.
